i just bought a 93 si ! and im new to the whole manual thing .. anyone got anytips for me ??

 

manual transmission?







btw, welcome aboard

 

what color si?

 

first what you have to do is start noticing where the clutch is. notice the clutch pedal position where your car comes out of gear and catches the gear.

then figure out the pressure to use. best way to describe it is you push in on the clutch (for now go all the way to the floor) and move to the next gear. when your coming off the clutch...imagine it being like poking a bubble. if you don't want the bubble to pop you come out kinda slow and soft. but once you get past the clutch remove your foot or it won't be a smooth shift.

while removing your clutch foot you wanna be coming in on the gas at about the same time. when your hitting the sweet spot your feet should be passing at about the same time and at the same speed. like a see-saw.

the hardest is getting first and second down.

dang I could go on for days. downshifting, double-clutching, drag racing etc. I hope I helped.

 

its a black si

i can get into 1st kinda but i be stalling alot but thanks alot it helped tho

 

cool. to keep from stalling in third. start by over revving and easing out on the clutch. sometimes I jitter into first because I don't gas it enough. hte thing is these hodas redline high so you'll be hearing the rpms pretty well when it's time to shift. sometimes it'll fool you and you'll shift to early and get a little jerk.

the worst is when the car starts hopping like the rodeo.

don't do like I did and get obsessed with shifting so smooth you can't feel it cause you'll start to get irritated. practice makes perfect.

 

yeah my g/f seems to like it...she cant stop doing it, it pisses me off, i try and teach her but then she crys

 

here is a tip:


STFU NEWBIE!
