<VV> Broken clutch cables

[Harry Yarnell]

Newer GM's you can start with the trans in gear; but you do have to depress 
the clutch for it to start. And they're hydraulic.
And while I find it inconvienent, how many times have you've seen someone 
get in a stick shift car, and try to start it in gear. Too many times.
As a matter of fact, I had a DEALER'S service dept tech smash the front end 
of my brand new VW bus back in '72 into the shop workbench because it was in 
gear and he 'forgot'.
