Transmission I've done it - so you don't have to!

Just to let everyone know - pulling away from lights in 3rd gear doesn't work...!

Just causes a rather violent stall and lots of angry drivers behind you! lol

KE_DK · 8th January 2008, 13:02

oops, sounds not-so-nice.

I'll try to remember not to do it, then

GHGH · 8th January 2008, 13:12

I know!

If you are determined to do it - it will work at least with the 2.2 but it doesn't seem to make much sense 'cause it's bad for the clutch, and 2nd is soft enough if you are doing this because it's slippery

Thanks for the advise lol

Oh no, you can't pull of in 3rd. Not even in a spaceship!

Just to let everyone know... I didn't mean to do it lol

i did it by accident the other night.

, and i stalled, most embarrassing.

It is marginal even in 2nd.

Of course you can pull away in third if you are prepared to abuse the clutch, second isn't too bad though.
