Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Shift problem...

I found out that I could shift without press clutch when the engine is NOT on. Is it normal? I remember I couldn't do that before.

i can do dat too..i think its normal because i can also do that on my dads truck

why not...the wheels aren't turning and the crank's not spinning. You can say you know how to rev match and can "...Drive a Standard Without Using the Clutch"...hahahaha. You'd impress one person on this board, on his B-day too!

i could always shift like that...i'm pretty sure this is normal as well

yeah thats completely normal, but in the scheme of things what does it really matter?????

very normal

is normal, the only reason why you have a clutch is to pop the gear in while its spinning, so if its not spinning, then why not, some old cars though, when they get real banged up and the trannys gone to shit, then you wont need a clutch when its SPINNING, thats when you know your car is about to on you!!

yup... I was in one of the new TC's and I could do that. Its normal in most manuals.
