Does the gear shift selector fork issue still apply if you have a fwd car that is shifted by a cable?
Great video! But I have to disagree with Nr. 4… of course you can’t accelerate hard in a high gear, but when you only want to speed up slightly, the most efficient way is to keep the car in a high gear and apply almost full throttle! This way, you are reducing the throttle losses, which increases the efficiency. I can’t think of any negative effects this could have…
You didint push the Ebrake button when you use ebrake…. You don’t respect your car !!! Not a car guy obvious…
Haha, you know your car is awesome when you don’t need to make noises with your mouth when you accelerate 😂
“Don’t rest your hand on the gear shift”. I can hear Initial D fanboys stroking out in the distance.
Now I know! Thanks for that, I wasn’t aware I shouldn’t rest my hand on the gear knob.. Or leave it in gear at the lights. I will change how I drive from this vid!
I saw this dude at a red light that was slightly uphill, he was driving a slammed NB miata (looked awesome) and he just sat there rocking back and forth for a solid 30 seconds. What a scrub. Also, if your engine has thrust washers on the crankshaft, leaving the clutch in brings premature wear to the thrust washers, increasing crank end float, and ultimately scoring the rear side of the crankshaft.
Great tips! I’m guilty of all 5 and altough I already knew all those things it’s just habits that’s hard too get rid of. Definitely going to have these in my head after watching this though!
