What to Do if You Need to Take the Car to the Garage Without Changing Gears

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Clutch

Video tutorial

In this video, we see a YouTuber giving a lesson on driving without a clutch: his BMW is taken to the garage for repairs, so it must arrive there without using the clutch. First, remember that a car without a clutch must warm up the engine before starting, strictly in second gear; instinctively, you can also find a third gear, which allows for smooth driving.

At stops and traffic lights, put it in neutral to stop, turn off the engine, and then start again in second gear, leaving the key in so that the car can start smoothly without straining the starter motor.
