Not Helpful 18 Helpful Can I run the car in first gear for some distance with the help of only the clutch by slowly releasing it without giving gas? Or it is necessary to give gas, especially in a heavy traffic area where the car is required to stop and run frequently?
You can let off the clutch slowly to make the car move forward in first gear. Not Helpful 19 Helpful I drive a stick shift and I'm always scared that I'll stall when going uphill. Practice and challenge the hill. Put your gear into first when you get there after you have stopped. While your right foot is on the brake and left foot is on the clutch, put your right foot on the gas and press and release your left foot off the clutch. Keep doing this until you feel confident.
Then you can drive in the hills of San Francisco. Not Helpful 13 Helpful Yes, avoiding excessively high RPM reduces fuel consumption. You "can" if you really want to, but keep in mind that by doing so, you're reducing your clutch's life span, along with the lifespans of your flywheel and bearings.
Not Helpful 2 Helpful When in 5th gear and coming to a stop, can I just go to neutral and fully stop? Also, if I don't downshift before stopping and just go to neutral and then to 1st gear when taking off, will I mess up the clutch? Do as the article says, brake in gear. The reason for that is fuel efficiency. The engine runs on the kinetic energy of the car and doesn't need extra fuel to keep running.
Brake until you feel the engine is about to stall, and then depress the clutch. Only shift into 1st if you're stopped or moving at walking speed or less. Shifting into a low gear at high speeds can damage the transmission. Not Helpful 45 Helpful Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered. Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0.

Michael Mcgregor Sep 14, Darlington Wilson Williamson Jun 28, Thank you! Clive F. Jan 23, This article is the best and is simple to understand. Thank you so much for opening my eyes and mind. Trevor Obakeng Aug 20, I learned how to lower the gear from 5th to 1st, as well as how to balance my clutch and accelerator pedal.
Thank you so much! Mlambo Celltek May 26, On GM vehicles the shifter is moved to the right into a manual gate and then manipulated up and back to down shift and up shift. On the Chrysler auto stick the shifter can be moved left and right when in the standard drive mode.
If you leave it alone it will shift automatically. If you flick it to the right it will downshift one gear and if you flick it to the left it will up shift one gear. For the Chrysler auto stick also has a separate manual gate, but still moves left and right. This gives the driver more control of the shifting then the full auto mode.
It makes drivers feel like part of the process, providing a stronger connection between man and car. However, the transmission control module can override this during some conditions. If you select first gear and smash the pedal to the floor, when the vehicle reaches the red line it will not wait for you to select the next gear. It will shift into second automatically to prevent engine and transmission damage. Another thing I learned about the Chrysler auto stick is that the feature will be automatically disabled when the transmission control module senses a problem or sets a diagnostic trouble code.
It will also disable the manual shift function if some check engine light codes are set. This will still be more affordable than having to repair or replace the entire transmission. One thing is for sure though, if you wait too long to fix whatever is causing the shifting problems, then your transmission can become permanently damaged. Get your vehicle to the nearest mechanic as soon as you experience shifting problems. I have toyota hilux that I just bought last year october and the problem of my truck is intermittent:.
I Need to play with the clutch pedal and find a certain height for the shift to gear in. Both for reverse and 1st. Check the clutch pedal assembly to make sure nothing looks out of place. The clutch pedal itself may need adjustment. Hi, make sure no air is in The system, if that doesnt work i bet my money your master clutch is worn out.
Good luck. When I make right turns it struggles to catch the gear engine revs really high left turns are ok. Does it sound like I need a tranny or should I do basic maintenance first? Do you have any idea on why it does that? Is it a new transmission? Could be the synchro design, and if second is much taller than first that could make it a little harder as well.
I just bought it. Switching gears is becoming harder and harder. It is not specifically one gear , and sometimes one of them refuse to go at all. My clutch pedal is normally smooth. I would think as it is a general issue and the car starts to be old, it is either the fluid or the master cylinder? Gonna go and have it checked in couple of days. Have you checked the gear oil? Hard to shift into any gear after the car has sat for a couple of days, the worst is reverse.. I noticed the other day the clutch pedal wobbles side to side?.
I also have to rev to , rpm to get going. Otherwise no loss of power or slippage.. Is my clutch going? Or is the shifter cable having issues? This only happens at rd gear for some reason and only in the last week.
