Thought this read would be useful to our MT drivers

Quiz: How Do You Drive Your MT? | The Smoking Tire

Why do you flip table. I thought I wrote that article. Except #10 which I answered, "F"U$K NO!

i think wd was just wanting to excerse his facial expressions. (^_^)b

Slipping the clutch in reverse to brake = :shakes head: :gtfo2:

i dont think most cars will allow one to go into reverse while moving forward unless you want MAJOR grinding....

:bowrofl:

Yeah I think most cars lock out reverse while moving forward

because justin beiber, that's why :rofl2:

i power shift for when it's time to lay down the business

i don't know to what degree the gears are locked out while still reversing but there are times i put it back into first while still moving backward out of my driveway, i just got to give it more gas to compensate.
the few times i messed around doing a J-turn, the gears didn't lock out on me from what i recall, even when i screwed up

WTF stop flipping tables! these are expensive!!!

I got confused at the end because I drive a 370Z, but the question had me driving a Corvette. So I gave up.

:rolleyes::icon17:

I think the question was saying more that you are backing out of a space. Instead of coming to a complete stop while backing up slowly, you put it in 1st and slowly change direction from going backwards to driving forwards.

Ken is referring to slipping clutch in reverse to brake the car

fixed. lol

I even power shift on the way to the grocery store. Not sure what the BFD is. :stirthepot:

But seriously, I had always heard that coasting in neutral at highway speed causes excessive wear on transmission components. Wrong?

in the past ive heard it can go dry in neutral if coasting too long.... not sure about modern MT's...

I try to avoid coasting in neutral now unless I'm coming to a stop at a light cause I noticed whoever said this was correct, how the car uses more gas in neutral then in gear while coasting. I checked this out for myself when I used the real-time gas gauge and noticed anytime I was off the gas in gear, the mpg was always 60. When in neutral, it's jumping all over the place.

Clever thread title. :tup:
