lee07 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 So, When was the last time you staled the engine? I was cleaning and vacuuming my car. Put it in gear and stalled in the driveway. Wearing Sandals and the seat was back a bit to far. Haven't done that in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aken Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I did it backing out of a parking spot like a month ago. Happens now and then when I'm distracted. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StNem24 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 hahah great thread! About two weeks ago when I was changing the oil, I forgot that I left it in gear so it wouldn't try and roll off the blocks. Great strategy, until I started it up, dumped the clutch, and almost put a legacy sized hole in the garage door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasAyinde Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Two weeks ago, saw a gorgeous girl with an incredible body jogging on the sidewalk. Tried to move off from the light while I was distracted and embarrassed myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowImg Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'm learning to drive a manual with the thing, so it's a lot more frequent than I wish it were. That said, I think the last time I stalled was a few weeks ago. Now, the last time I let the clutch out too fast without enough throttle, almost stalled, etc? This morning. What really kills me is switching between I/S/S# -- you'd think it wouldn't make a huge difference, until you need to make a left turn through an intersection quickly. Oops, still in I mode. I think I've done everything described here within the last two months (the jogging girl more than a half dozen times due to where I live), except for StNem's -- when I accidentally dump the clutch with the car in gear, there is definitely no fear of it putting a hole in anything except my pride.

RdKetchup Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I've been driving standard cars for 20 years, the last 10 years I was driving a Nissan Sentra Spec-V, so I thought stalling was a thing of the past, until I took possession of my 2.5GT last week I guess I need to adapt to the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJuan Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Stalled - couple months ago, lack of throttle. Grinding 2nd gear - Weekly, clutch foot not in sync with shifter hand. Missing a shift/gear - Once in a great while, trying to show off in front of ricers. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayway Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Stalled after I got my car back from getting tires put on. The tech turned the turbo timer on, which it never is. Got back home put the e brake on, put it in first, killed the ingition and let off the clutch and the jerk forward scared the crap outta me. I have to rip out that turbo timer.

Lucid Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 A few weeks ago at a toll booth in the RS, not paying attention and was in 3rd. The guys working the booth laughed. I do it once or twice a year, always because I'm dumb. I also miss 2nd gear every now and then....how the hell do you miss second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a clutchless, redline-downshift from 2nd to 1st once when I had a dogbox in my old car. Loud does not describe what happened.

ShadowImg Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Can I thread-jack to ask a tip? The spec.B is my 2nd manual car, but the only one with a properly working transmission and that I've daily driven. Unless I'm going very very slow, I tend to "hiccup" the 1->2 shift most times. I just get kind of a little catch/bounce trying to properly match it. What's the trick for getting 1-2 smooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Practice.

ShadowImg Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Practice only works if you can figure out the target behavior though. I actually had a friend try and help me and he couldn't figure out what I was doing to cause it. Just trying to figure out what I need to not do/do differently, so I can practice it.

BAC5.2 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Practice different techniques? This is one of those kinds of things where responses will inevitably be "I just do it" [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/proper-flip-key-interesti-159894.html"]Flip Key Development Thread[/URL] "Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped." - E.

TRSCobra Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I stall mine about once a month on average. Once my stupid clutch (spec 2+) heats up in traffic it's a completely different animal. I swear my fiancee must think I don't know how to drive stick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
