well once you are stuck in the mud, dont shift by depressing the clutch. shut it down and IIRC you can start it back up in 4lo in a different gear without depressing the clutch. dont quote me though.

dont shut it down if your tailpipe is underwater though or you will have a whole other set of problems.
