Shifting

Truck models with manual transmission are equipped

with a clutch interlocking ignition system. The clutch

pedal must be fully pressed to start the vehicle.

Fully press the clutch pedal before shifting gears. As you

release the clutch pedal, lightly press the accelerator

pedal.

This transmission has a “creeper” first gear which should

be used to start from a standing position when carrying

a payload or towing a trailer. Damage to the clutch can

result from starting in second or third gear with a loaded

vehicle. An unloaded vehicle may be launched in second

gear. Use each gear in numerical order – do not skip a

gear.

NOTE: When loaded, pulling a trailer or on a grade, the

truck should always start in first gear and not skip gears.

Recommended Vehicle Shift Speeds

To utilize your manual transmission efficiently for both

fuel economy and performance, it should be upshifted as
