Hey all,
Strangest thing happened to me yesterday with the Z.
I live in the country and when heading to town, I hit my favorite stretch of "flat-out" and put the Z through it's paces winding out close to redline in first and second.
Upon shifting into third there was no third! It felt like I missed the gear but the shifter was in the right position. Immediately the strong smell of burning clutch filled the car. I shifted into neutral, slowed down and pulled over, waited a bit and shifted into first and eased off with all gears working. The burning smell eventually abated.
Any ideas what might have happened?
TIA, JT
