The clutch experienced failure while on the highway and wouldnât go into gear without being put into neutral first then into second gear . Then while driving one day I couldnât put it in reverse itâs just gone so now the car will roll slightly even with the emergency brake on but I was put in danger the day it wouldnât shift gears as it should while on the highway leaving me pretty much in fast motion but unable to continue in gear as it should which caused me to have to drift to the side of the road to then experience the effect of it being in neutral to second to continue driving however the vehicle seems to be high reviving in all gears after this experience happened
