I reckon I know the feeling. And it might be karma!!
Well before my little episode at my favourite roundabout, I approached this very same round about and did a U turn to head back home.
Gave it some stick and went to change down to 3rd if I remember rightly but with my failing T5 found first unwittingly.
When I finally had the sense to stand on the clutch and stop the arse end wagging like a dogs tail, it was then I think I unclenchened the old sphincter muscle.
I too dawdled home with nothing to indicate mechanical failure and the heart going two to the dozen.
Remember having the car sense to keep it in the same lane though I suspect the back end was visiting both sides of the white lines!!
The new gear box should help cure this for me.
Cheers
