Wow Dennis! You really know about cars Actually I am really in need of advise that helps me go through the process of elimination. I will try what your suggested later.

I've heard about prens in Alabang. Don't they have one in Sucat as well? I'll try and call them first.

Indeed my being a clutch driver costs me a lot of headache and money as well. Kasi naman when I went to driving school the instructor told me that I could use the clutch as an alternative to the brakes (when slow driving). Since I was taught to drive that way, it's been really difficult for me to break that nasty habit off me. I also have a tendency to "babad" my foot in the clutch pedal. Now I'm slowly getting used not to "babad" my foot in the clutch pedal kasi I really got scared of that incident when I couldn't shift gears.
