I was driving on the interstate at 70 mph I went to down shift to 3rd but got 1st. I know this is not supposed to happen so I thought I was in 3rd gear. I let off the clutch and the car went from 70 mph to about 35 mph in 3 sec. I would have went through the windshield if not for the seat belt which work fine. Well this ordeal left my car with 1 or 2 blown cylinder heads, bent, valves water out tail pipe and its not due to the fact I didn't know how to drive a stick I have been driving them since I got out of school in 96..can you tell me why this happened " and if a is defect found will they repair my car"
