Sounds fine to me.
I damaged the clutch on my Celica a few years ago. My own fault. Accelerated in 3rd when virtually at a stand still. It then started slipping when I was accelerating harder than normal e.g. overtaking. I'd be driving fine, then push the accelerator in a bit more and the car would, if you can imagine it, slip out of gear and just rev until I release the accelerator. It of course didn't drop the gear but slipped.
A little search found that the manual in the G is cable controled. Interesting the manual gearstick in the Murciélago goes directly into the gearbox.
