[mkcman17]

either pick a gear or start it in first and revmatch your shifts and DONT STOP

[blackhawkimpact]

Oh, yeah. I'm in Long Beach and I gotta get to Chino Hills :(

[mkcman17]

nurse it onto the freeway and cruiseeeee

[blackhawkimpact]

What you do when you come to a stop? Turn it off, and put it in gear again?

[mkcman17]

just don't stop....but if you have to i guess try and force it out of gear or let it stall out...or if the stop is far enough ahead let it out of gear when the engine is neither pulling nor braking and when you're slow enough pop it into first at a slight roll. i had to do it in when the slave cyl blew in my truck to get to school for two days back in high school.

Well Im close to the freeway but I have to stop at two stop lights before I get on the freeway. I just I'll just stay at my gf house tonight.

[mkcman17]

honestly, you can probably make it. when you're approaching the light just slow to a first/second gear crawl and don't stop. it'll be easier to make it home at this time of night with no traffic than tomorrow with cars and shit.

[blackhawkimpact]

True.

[mkcman17]
