IIRC, you couldn't just drop the transmissions in those Sprites/Midgets down and out of the car from below due to the car's fully boxed 'backbone' chassis design. I don't blame your Dad one bit for chewing that guy out.So.....Dad went ahead and replaced the clutch again and he went for a test drive with the guy. He saw the dude hovering his left foot over the pedal and told him to turn around and head back to the house. They pulled into the driveway and Dad gave him a earful about how to properly drive a manual transmission and then told him to never show up with that car again! It was a very effective demonstration of the lesson Dad taught me several years before and I've taken it to heart with every MT car I've ever owned since then.
