STARTING AND OPERATING 165
The spring will try to pull the gear selector toward
THIRD and FOURTH gear. Make sure you move
the gear selector into SECOND or FIFTH gear. If
you let the gear selector move in the direction of
the pulling, you may end shifting from FIRST to
FOURTH or from SIXTH to THIRD gear.
You must always use FIRST gear (or REVERSE)
when starting from a standing position.
RECOMMENDED SHIFT SPEEDS
To utilize your manual transmission efficiently
for fuel economy, it should be upshifted as
listed in recommended shift speed chart.
Earlier upshifts during cruise conditions (relatively steady speeds) may result in increased fuel economy.
Higher upshift speeds may be used to obtain a desired acceleration rate.
CAUTION!
Always make sure the vehicle comes to a
complete stop before shifting into REVERSE.
Failure to do so may result in transmission
damage.
