Poppy Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Our motorhome is a manual and my OH and I haven't driven manual for some years. OH says I will drive first love and then when I have got used to it you can have a go. WELL he has stalled it several times. ME not at all. One up for the ladies eh!

Guest JudgeMental Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Poppy, is it a Ford? if yes, it is the vehicle not you other half - I have never had so much trouble! stalled all the way back from Belgium - getting used to it now but still doing it. it is something to do with the dual mass fly wheel on fords...

peejay Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 We have the same problem with ours, I reckon its because of the high first gear, you do eventually get used to it though. Its particularly awkward when driving up levelling chocks, you need plenty of revs and slipping of the clutch or it stalls. Hopefully Transits have strong clutches fitted :-S pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 peejay - 2007-05-01 1:07 PM Hopefully Transits have strong clutches fitted :-S pete this dual mass flywheel clutch is prone to failure! it is a well known transit problem. there is a heavy duty clutch available..s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
