BUM LEFT NEED CLUTCH PEDAL HELP

Not related to this, but;
I have missed a shift and seen the tach-needle crossing 8000
................. on it's way back down.
I think my heart skipped a beat at that time. But it idled normal, so I
immediately stroked "rev-limiter" off my want-list.
Then I went home and fixed the dadgum shifter, and never missed a shift again since 2004
I advanced the E4 in my 273 and have short springs in it. It doesn't want to go much past 5 unless aggravated.
