Some people "power shift" but I don't trust it. I always pull in the clutch when shifting just to be safe.

How do you get a manual transmission out of gear without the shifter attached?

How do you drive a 5 speed manual transmission?

With an automatic transmission there are clutches that operate automatically according to hydraulic pressure. In a manual transmission you have to use the clutch which is the middle pedal of the pedal assembly. What you do is hold in the clutch and slip in into first gear, then while giving it a little gas slowly let out the clutch. This will engage first gear and you are moving slowly. When the engine speed has gotten high enough to shift into the 2nd gear you do the same thing. Let off the gas. Push in the clutch. Shift into the next higher gear 2 and let out the clutch. You don't have to let it out slowly as you did in first gear. In first gear you do this so the engine won't stall. In the next gears 2-5 you push in the clutch, change to the next higher gear and let the clutch out.

What would cause a suzuki 600 to die when you put it in gear?

I am assuming you mean the Suzuki GSXR600 motorcycle. ANY motorcycle whose engine dies when you engage first gear MOST PROBABLY has a CLUTCH problem. Have the clutch tightened. To check whether the clutch is CLEARING the gear, do the following: 1. With the engine turned off, hold the clutch and put the motorcycle in first gear. 2. While holding the clutch, push the motorbike forward. If the rear tire allows the motorcycle to move forward, the clutch is engaging properly and clearing the gear. If the motorcycle won't budge with the clutch engaged, the clutch is not engaging properly. If the clutch has been tightened and is too hard to engage, you might want to have a mechanic open the motorcycle and check the clutch discs- they might be worn out.

How do you ride a quad?

It depends on what quad you are riding. If you are riding a honda(2005 and under) you must first hold the clutch and then kick start it. After that first gear is down and the rest are up. Remember you must hold the clutch when switching gears. Same goes for other quads except the part where you kick start it but you must still hold the clutch kick start


What is clutch slip?

It is when the clutch will not hold. Like you can be driving up a hill and you can rev the engine with no increase in road speed. With the park brake set hard, the car should stall if you attempt to drive off. If you have the clutch out in first gear and the engine can still run and the car isn't moving, the clutch is slipping.
