Those of you with standard trannys do you jiggle the shifter side to side when you put the car in neutral? I realized the other day that I do this without even thinking about it. It just comes naturally and I do it subconsciencely. wondering who else does it too. laugh.gif

 

ME!!! i do i always do it to doubke check i didnt grab a gear by accident i hate that pleasant suprise when you forget your in first and you let the clutch...

my friend bought and old 80 something honda accord and its a 5spd and he has a brand new vette and he ALMOST hit it because he thought he was in neutral and he was really in first when he parked in the garage if he was a foot closer he woulda had an awkward call to the insurance company

 

laugh.gif I do that all the time too. Its definitely a force of habit!

 

people think its stupid but its a great habit to get into itll save you some embarrasment every once in awhile im sure everyone remembers thoooose days

 

I do it when im in the Vette.

 

do it all the time...

couple years ago my sister asked me same question...

 

Haha, I do this anytime I'm about to park or turn the car off. I even did it the other day, and my car is blocked up with one axle in and no tires on O.o just a habbit that I'm not going to try to break.

 

Yeah I do it. While neutral is a pretty obvious position on both the Accent and the Tib, I've had manual vehicles that were less obvious.

 

I do/did it all the time

 

I do it all the time too
