Re: New Eurodriver User

correct me if im wrong but the transmission will let you know if it wants to shift into first or not. like if your doing like 2km/h doing a rolling stop or something and you go to shift back into first, the tranny will let u know if it wants to engage or not, if the shifter does not feel like it wants to go in dont force it, but if it goes in no problem smoothly then it should be alright.
right guys??

ummm no, you can put it into any gear and at speed.

yep.

When I worked at Spruce Meadows over the summer I got to drive big tractors around, it was fun f*#king around with those things, shifting gears from 3-4 without clutching = fun

what kind of tractors? i dont think you can do it on a tractor, even with a clutch the gears grind, the higher ones like 4-5, 5-6, etc.

i've got the whole 5 speed thing figured out mostly with everyones help here. i just had another question, is engaging the clutch without using the gas, bad?? because in rush hr i find that easier when i have to just move up very slowly?

Re: New Eurodriver User

like just pushing the pedal down.. i dunno personally i don't do it but from reading on various forums it's bad for the car i dunno how since pushing the pedal opens the plates up so the clutch is just sitting there doing nothing but i honestly have no idea

I think you understood him wrong.
He seems to be talking about moving the car forward in traffic without touching the gas (ie: moving the car by using the clutch only in deadlock trafifc).

Re: New Eurodriver User

oh well in that case.. defintely don't do it.. better known as riding the clutch aka smoking the clutch aka killing your clutch

A couple of massey's... brand new. I think it only worked when shifting 3-4 (there was only 4 gears).
