Shifting without the clutch - Toyota Yaris Forums

bronsin · 06-18-2010, 11:37 AM

Sure I did/do it all the time with my ECHO and now with my Suzuki DL1000. Its a good skill to have. Once on a 500 mile trip from home my Toyota pickup had the clutch pedal freeze in the up position. You couldnt push it dowm. A bolt had worked out and got jamed in the mechanism. I had to R&R the trans and fix it. But before I could do that I drove 500 miles home with no clutch! If youre wondering how to start moving heres how: put the trans in first and crank the engine. The vehicle will move and the engine start. If you have a "push the clutch in to start" car, then youll have to disable it. First thing Idid on my ECHO.
Clutchless shifting on my Suzuki is incredibly smooth. Even downshifting. That transmission is amazing.
