U dropped an HR in an 05??

 

I have a 5AT and I let off the gas when I shift in manual model so everyone thinks it's a stick.

There is some serious underlying hidden messages here.

 

Best answer ever for this question.

You have 6 gears, use them. You will get used to it.

 

No. I have a 35th anniversary. I assume that HR stands for high rev which came standard in the car.

 

What I've found that works is it dump the clutch at 4k go sideways through first, then sideways through second, then chirp third. After that I'm locked up on the brakes for the stop light.

 

Haha I like .

Anyway I typically go through all gears. As mentioned before, more load on engine is worse for gas mileage not better.

 

Seriously you all. Use them. 1 is there for a reason. Just as the rest are all the way up to 6.

 

I did not know that. The computer tells me otherwise.

 

I believe you are referring to the rev-up, not the HR. HR's have dual throttle bodies and intakes (the easiest method for identification).


And to the OP,
Please just shift like a man. If you don't want to drive a stick, give your girl back her car and get an auto. Even better, get a Prius, the shifter doesn't even look like a shifter anymore.

 

No you dont have the HR...it was introduced in the 07 year...yours is the Rev Up model....

 

With all the OPs b!itching about having to shift too much, why not just buy automatic and call it a day?

I use all my gears, regardless of the situation.

 

This should be merged with the Why 17 Year Olds Shouldn't Have Z's thread.

 

Umm..y not try askin her what she meant
and why not ask her for driving lessons too (sounds like you can use them) its her car so im assumin she knows how to drive it

 

wait, why do people start from second at a stop? I seriously don't get it, and it really is harder on the clutch than starting in first...

Only time i skip gears is when i accelerate hard to redline in first or second. I may then skip to third or fourth.

Also, do you guys engine brake? I always thought brakes were cheaper than transmissions to replace...

 

No wonder my car kept stalling, guess 4th gear starts on a hill are a no no? lol

Let your gf drive her car, sounds like she knows more about driving a manual then you.

 

I don't think people practice this method of driving. I think the "special" people only do. I am starting to think this is another troll thread. Who would ever bring up such a stupid question!?!? He put third and fourth as an option. No one can be this stupid.

 

But it's not! That's the horrible part. I have on many occasions been with a buddy who thinks he knows a lot about cars, yet ALWAYS starts from second at a stop. His Dad does it too, and they drive SA and FC rx-7's. I don't get it, but obviously no one starts in fourth.

 

Give the keys to your gf and ask for driving lessons. Guess she has the junk and wears the pants huh? Thats prob why you dont want to post a pic. I think we need a gf on the hood of z thread!

 

There should be an option for you to leave it parked.

I drive my Z like a boss........you obviously drive your Z like a secretary.

Sorry...don't think I can help you on this one. There is WAY to much in your post to pick on.
