or anyone with a manual when they find out they are forking with a long trans mission stick, pumping a tight annular spring via their thrust bearing with the primary trans shaft buried deep in the back of their crankshaft through the self lubricating pilot bearing to buffer all the rough asynchronous screwing

synchro gigiddy mesh gettin your bottom shaft up to speed to fork with fineness without double pounding the annular

A pressure plate clutch “diaphragm” or annular spring:

I don’t think it’s clear enough that you know your trans portation. Should fetish harder next time.

  16 year old me did a clutch three times before fully understanding the mechanism. Particularly, I had a bad pilot bearing that was causing the failures. It is one aspect that was not in the Haynes manual, and not a part included in the “complete clutch kit”. The second time I even faced the flywheel to do a proper job at the advice of a pro mechanic. I learned the pilot bearing on my own.
  
  The fetish jokes were just fun with friends that hung out or helped while I worked on the car and figured it out as I went. Teasing macho friends lying in intimate tight spaces is fun, especially when they have underlying prejudices about LGBTQ+ stuff. I’ve always been an asshole like that when anyone is prejudice. Over the decades I’ve learned every detail about how engines and drivetrains work. The transmission is full of parts to joke about, but I can make anything metaphorical to surfeit abstraction.
