“When slowing down and trying to down shift after exiting an interstate, I find that the clutch pedal is completely depressed (bottomed out) unexpectedly, resulting in inability to down shift or move gear shift to neutral. This happens intermittently and without warning. This has happened several time over a period of one year.”
