Hello.. I have a BAE Turbo that was installed by the prior owner back on May 1, 1984. When I purchased the car from the original owner he was very specific about letting it warm up properly and "cool" down properly. When I asked him why I was informed that it may "blow up" if it is not done. I have always done as he said but am wondering if it is accurate. I've never had any other problems with the transmission; clutch or drive train. Roy 0893 In a message dated 12/5/2005 10:03:41 A.M.

The transmission and clutch were not meant to handle that kind of power.
