manuals are fun

My cousin is in Iraq and he wanted me to drive has car every so often to keep everything running good. Ive been taking it to work about a 25 min drive and im getting alot better gas mileage. The only problem i have is starting off on a hill, but i pull the e brake a little so i dont role back.

what kinda car? if it has high torque--you can feel when the clutch starts to engage and it will keep you from rolling back any--then start on the gas.

[99mustang]

its a zx2, so it doesnt have alot of torque

my s10 had 97 rwhp and like 100 lbs of torque and you could still feel it.

ah shutup! lol I guess I'll just shut my mouth and silently chuckle everytime you have have to replace a burned clutch or have to abort a run bc of a missed 3rd, and no one here is Evan Smith so dont say "I NEVER miss 3rd!" :)

I've missed gears quite a bit, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, but i've got my share of practice recently and haven't missed a gear in quite some time, it just fuckin sucks when you do.

I'm not sure why we all say we "miss" the gear b/c with me i don't miss the gear, i just let out on the clutch too fast and it just doesn't go all the way in gear....what a god awful noise
