I hear you talking bout a z18xe? you have another car or new plans for this? 
i cant disclose any information regarding that 
Vauxlad - it does it if you open the throttle like 0.5% and if you hold it there it will cut out

I never bothered with warranty, i needed it working NOW. So the next day, drilled it out and fitted a bold straight through with some nuts on tight to space it out then put some threads into the ball. Used mole grips to tighten it all together.
So far...... so good........

Oh i was delivery driving at the time and was in a rush to keep going. When i got back i selected 3rd then drove home. I had to get a mate to tell me if the coast was clear or not so i could just fly straight out onto the main road without hitting any cars

How can you change gear if the linkage is broken?
Plus you can go down the gears without the clutch but you can't go up them.

O yes you can, my dad drove 100 miles without a clutch once and he can go up and down gears without the clutch fine.
(useless fact )

the clutch cable isn't broken, it's the gear linkage, so he cant change gear
