Well that was dumb...

In 1980 I was replacing the clutch in my 69 GTS and the trans would not come out. Laying under the car in my driveway I gave it one last yank. The trans immediately came out and landed on my chest. Have you ever tried to get a trans off your chest while trying to breath and roll out from under the car? Glad nobody was around to see it, but wish somebody was around to help me get my breath back, I thought for sure I was a goner...
