I have a 2005 mustang gt i bought from the dealer. Its inspected. This is my first manual transmission car and i have had it for a week. Every time i shift it jerks. People have said to give it gas when the clutch is just about out. Doesnt that just burn your clutch up? I need advice thanks!

carquoteplease asked:


I have a manual transmission and it is a pain to pull up onto the ramps, but it’s easier to get under the car then with my jack and stand. I am concerned that all of the oil will not drain out properly due to the angle of the oil pan. Does the oil drain better if the car is completely level? I have also jacked the car up to removed the filter and start the oil draining and then lowered the car flat to let it continue draining. Which is the best method?

Tiffany N asked:


I don’t understand the concept of hill starting with manual cars. I’ve heard to use a parking break, but everything I’ve read about hill starting involving a parking break doesn’t tell me WHEN to take the parking break off?? Would I do that after I’ve shifted into first?? HELP!

What car is good for converting to an electric car?
I’m interested in a car that is lightweight, has a manual transmission, and has room for batteries. I’m trying to convert a gas car to an electric car, and I need one that is light, has manual transmission, room for batteries, etc, etc. Has anyone done that and has advice/know a good car for it? I have a limited price range, and I need a relatively cheap car for it. Any suggestions? Thanks.
