Hi guys,
Ok so this is hard to admit being a male and all but today I stalled my MPS.
I was stopped on a hill in traffic and went to give it some gas and take off as normal but I was in third gear (thought I was in first). After a brief second or so of going nowhere he car stalled and I swore... Heaps.
The car smelt really bad for a little bit and I got annoyed at myself.
Just wondering could any damage have been done?
doubt it... probably just burnt the clutch a bit... as long as there isnt any lasting smell, or it has suddenly become dead in terms of feel, you should be fine :2thumb:

also, stalling is nothing to be ashamed of... i probably average at least one stall for every 5 times i try and extract my car from where it's parrallel parked :p
the longer it's been since i've driven it, the more likely i am to stall it :whistle:
as for the gear thing, :shrug: been there done that... hill starts in 3rd gear ftw
Try a modded mps ( with short shift kit) LOL... with a tricky clutch/lightn flywheel, i have not driven it yet ( this weekend WOOT ) but i had other modded cars before with brass button clutches etc.. looking forward to it and not all at the same time:marg:
Think Jase and Sam want to be there so they can laugh at me stalling it :weed:
Aside from the slight burning smell, all it'll do is make you look like a knob at the lights. :2thumb:
I've been there. :p
only damaging to your ego bud :)
My first couple of weeks with my MPS6 was a little embarrassing when it came to hill starts. No matter.
As long as the smell doesn't linger too long you'll be fine.
Feel the pain. When I first bought the MPS I stalled it driving off from dealer :embarassed:.
I did a burn out as I was determined not to stall it!Quote:

Two types of people in the world. Those who have stalled their car and those who are about to.
Yep done it, no harm would be done.
