I would drive it as far as possible then call for help when I hit heavy stop/go traffic. Revving the crap out of your engine and riding the clutch is probably the worst way to get rolling in 5th, it is however the best way to burn up a clutch. Sucks that it happened with a "good" quality shifter though.

Secondly, if you can change a short shifter, you can certainly change front sway bar links. What bushings are worn? If they are sway bar bushings you could also change those. The rears are especially easy. The fronts are not so easy.

Haha, tell me about it. Why the damn did i slow down? well I'm trying to shift down from 5 to 4 then all of a sudden shifter is looser then my freaking ex. So i freaked out and pulled to the side of the road. Not even knowing what had just happened.

As for me changing the pushings and other parts, its not summer anymore and its getting cold :) plus if the front end has to come off i might tak to the mechanic and get some sort of a deal. i dont really want to do anymore work on my car. i just had enough
