Default Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?

In the end I decided not to get her out but, once we got home I did uncover her and let her run for a good half hour.

When I got in the car I put the key in gave it a turn and all I got was the usually dash lights. No crank, no click nothing. My heart sank, then I remembered, DEPRESS THE CLUTCH YOU MORON! I think I have been reading to many threads here about no start, engine dies and various other issues.

I hear ya. I have been driving my roadster with a stick all winter as a DD. This week I am driving the SRT to work. Twice I have depressed the clutch to downshift....almost putting the wife into the wind shield each time.


Seems one cannot double clutch an autostick There's a brake pedal where the clutch ought to be.
