This is your shift pattern.
The clutch must be fully
pressed in when shifting a
manual transaxle to
ensure the transaxle is
fully in gear.
Here's how
to
operate your transaxle:
FIRST
(1):
Press the clutch pedal and shift into
FIRST
(1).
Then, slowly let up on the clutch pedal as
you press the accelerator pedal.
You can shift into FIRST
(1)
when you are going less
stop and it is hard to shift into FIRST
(I),
put the
shift lever into NEUTRAL and let up on the clutch. Press
the clutch pedal back down. Then shift into
FIRST
(1).
