DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 My pops was too busy smoking crack to give me a ride to work one day so he told me to shift when the RPM's are around 2 and basically made me learn by myself. I stalled out alot that first day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I've notice that it's different depending on the car. This was a little Nissan Pulsar. It was best to shift just past the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-walk Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 i got a question for any of you that drive stick on the regular... you ever have to drive someones automatic and have to come to a quick stop go to put in the clutch and hit the brake at the same time and end up hitting the big ass brake pedal with both feet only to have your head bounce off the steering wheel cause you stopped so hard?
