Message	case the parking break fails...I always leave mine in neutral and engaged the E-brake, which sucks when someone else has been driving my car in the past and their habit is leaving it in gear, and I stall out from letting the clutch out while it's in gear (habit) Hope it works out, sorry you got hurt Did this shop bypass the clutch, or was it the previous owner? I'm thinking you're lucky that your injury wasn't worse, no one else got hurt, and you aren't being held liable... Good Luck!
