last time i drove my car i had a shifter failure.. it left my clutch partially engaged some how.. when i held the shifter into 1st and push hard it would grab the flywheel better.... my clutc smoked is this a bad thing .. i mean did i damage it beyond driving.. i could smell the cooking clutch. (its aftermarket.. mystery brand .. the previous owner put it on and doesnt remember what it was. "stage two" centerforce maybe..)anyways when i get my short shifter put on im worried that the tranny was damaged.. the shifter ball had come put of the tranny and was flopping around .. cuz bad tranny work so the shift points were way out of sync......
