“Last saturday, took the cover off and was going to the car wash to shine her up real good. On the way after stopping at a light I pulled off then went to 2nd gear, then to third and that when it happened. The clutch went to the floor and did not come back up. I'm going down the street not knowing what to do next because there is a stop sign but I'm afraid to stop because I don't know what will happen, a very dangerous situation. …”
