Hi All
I guess it would have pretty much the same effect as when I did an almost
perfect double declutched down shift in my Herald, Fourth to Second at about
70 MPH, the rev counter hit the stop things got loud then quiet. When I
rolled to a stop the engine was still going but I had no drive. Got towed
home and took the box out and found the clutch embedded on the inside of the
bell housing! Hence the reason I said almost perfect, it would have been
perfect if it had been a tadge slower and not blown things up!
