But our T's read books, and we think they can just understand everything...?

I remember learning to drive a stick, getting used to the feel of where the clutch cuts off and everything. I am good at it, been driving one for more then 20 yrs. But when the transmission breaks, or a new clutch needs to be put in I am clueless. I need a mechanic...one who has experience viewing the system from a totally different angle then me. Knowing how to uses the clutch doesn't equate with knowing how to fix it.
In the many times I have take my car in for repairs I have never asked the mechanic if they knew how to drive a stick, only if they knew how to fix it....because driving it is what I do, and repairing it is what they do.
