During each shift, the clutch pedal must

be fully pressed to the floor. Make sure the

floor mat is properly positioned so it

doesn't interfere with the full extension of

the clutch pedal.

Using the Clutch

Note: Failure to fully press the clutch pedal

to the floor may cause increased shift

efforts, prematurely wear transmission

components or damage the transmission.

Recommended Shift Speeds

Note: Do not downshift into first (1) when

your vehicle is moving faster than 15 mph

(24 km/h). This will damage the clutch.

Note: Do not drive with your foot resting on

the clutch pedal or use the clutch pedal to

hold your vehicle at a standstill while

waiting on a hill. These actions will reduce

the life of the clutch and could nullify a

clutch warranty claim.
