i came across a problem when i had my 5speed brought in for some tranny work. in the process they broke the line to my clutche, and it leaked air in, so i had essentially no clutch after 10 minutes of driving. i hope nobody else has had to learn how to start up in gear, and shift at the exact right rpm... tho i got good, and it helped my normal gear shifts sync in quicker... im sure it did more harm to the powertrain. never once burned~smelled my clutch tho... lotsa fwd burnies, but never did a big smokeshow w/hand brake engaged.
