Yup!
Driving home today with the new clutch cable installed (I put a nice new manually 
adjustable cable on.  I HATE those friggin auto adjustable cables) the same thing 
happened but I managed to get it back in gear and keep it  in gear the whole way 
home and I just did wome clutchless shifting for a while.  The clutch was slipping like 
mad the whole way.  SOoooo I have to put my 8v back on the road until I get 
enough time to do the 16v's clutch.  I work 7 days a week so it will be a bit.  Also, if I 
am matching my revs perfectly and not grinding the gears at all (I've been doing this 
for a while so I'm pretty good at it now) is it going to be bad to change gears?  Is it 
bad on the clutch or any other drivetrain components?  I can't see why but I'm 
always learning new stuff so please, enlighten me!  Thanks!
