What a great car, my firebird was, paid $400 for it, it was great, sad to sell it (for $300) anyway, I had to replace the clutch at about 138,000 miles, even with neutral stopping, so who knows? But, like the deceased Toyota MR2 Spyder, it wasn't a Porsche

Forget about it.....

If you don't, start saving big bucks for tranny work.

I learned this in the 70s...
