My friend that owns a Vette already killed his transmission once by driving like a dickwad. I talked to him last night and he still refuses to believe me when I tell him shifting into first when he is still moving isn't going to do his transmission any good. He just doesn't get it and maybe I should just shut up and laugh when he kills this transmission again.

What to do? Absolutely nothing.

Sometimes it's better not to say anything at all.

axemansean

I know but I just think at times you gotta educate idiots.

TheOtherDave™

So what exactly is he doing? I'm not understanding.... :huh:

TheOtherDave™

Is he trying to shift into first at 55mph or some shit ?? :huh:

Most of the time, you'll realize people only can learn the hard way.

axemansean

He'll be driving on a flat road at about 20 mph and then shifts into first without stopping first. I told him that unless its a very steep hill not to do that and by doing so he's killing the transmission. He sometimes has a hard time finding first and usually grinds the gear in or just starts from second, didn't believe that letting the clutch out and clutching it will solve that issue.

TheOtherDave™

So he's not using the clutch once the car is in motion....!?!! :wtf::eh::eekno:

I wouldn't even get into the car with a driver like that. *shakes head*

axemansean

No he uses the clutch, he just isn't a great driver and thinks he is car smart. Heck he recommended changing the grade of gas to a friend of his who said her car just didn't want to go.

TheOtherDave™

Oh, so he's thinks he's all that, when he don't know shiet.

Please tell me the Vette in question is some 1970's, clapped-out C3 -:wtc:- not a new C5. Please. :squint:
