Was helping a mate pull the clutch out of his commodore. He had all but one bolt out of his pressure plate. Being lazy, he asked his younger brother to crank the engine over so he could get to the last bolt. The couple of pumps of the throttle were a dead give away. Of course it started first kick, I was amazed how long the last bolt held on for with the engine accelerating so quickly. In the process the pressure plate cut a 3" swathe through his tranmission tunnel before spitting a distorted clutch and pressure plate out. Narrowly missing both of us under the car. We were VERY VERY lucky that day. No good me buying lottery tickets all my good luck is gone!
