Just Hurt Lucy, Very embarrassing!

As itâ€™s the weekend as usual I take Lucy our rather than my run around which is now Eleanor, No driving an automatic for a week has made me a lazy bastard and I made one big mistake when driving away today. I forgot I had a clutch

and put her in reverse without putting the clutch down

So there was a horrible crunching sound and then she stalled, so from now on I will be thinking before I put her in gear, what I want to know is has this caused any real damage to the gearbox, it seems to be changing ok and reverse is fine too.

A very embarrassed Adam

Auto's make you so lazy it's unreal Ad. Getting back into a manual can be a chore, especially in slow traffic and hill starts (can't knock auto's on hill starts!).

However, when you get to those bendy uphill A roads you scream for a manual.......

Until then, happy crunching!
