![]() Mancini added: ‘If you get a chance, you have to score. Mancini and his players will also be encouraged by Real’s shaky form and the internal problems that seem to be weighing down Mourinho’s dressing room.ĭespite losing their first Champions League away game at Bayern Munich last season, City will be sent out to attack, with Aguero expected to start ahead of Carlos Tevez after recovering from a knee injury I don’t know when, but at some stage, the club will win.’Ĭity arrived in Madrid boosted by the return from injury of Sergio Aguero, and the news that winger David Silva had ignored overtures from their opponents to sign a new five-year contract at the Etihad Stadium. I am sure we will win the trophy in the future. ‘We have a good team and we play together for a few years. We used to drive a Fiat or Cinquecento (at previous club Inter) and it is not so easy. If the clutch wears off again in the next 40k kms, maybe you need to check his driving style more carefully.Mancini said: ‘If you drive a Ferrari you can win. As for clutch replacement, unless he slips it too much in 2nd, I doubt starting off in 2nd would have any adverse effect on clutch life. Maybe your driver is also habituated to this and uses 2nd to start off instead of 1. So instead of moving between 1-2, most folks keep it in 2nd all the time in such traffic. Typically, in slow moving traffic you can coast along easily in 2nd. Don't know what exactly it does to the vehicle mechanically, but, most of the folks doing it, do so to avoid the frequent 1-2 shifts, IMO. Due to the adequate low end torque, you don't really need to rev the engine beyond 1500 rpm in slow moving traffic. I have seen this practice with almost all drivers of Boleros/Scorpios/Safaris. The excuse my driver gave was that since the car is driven in bumper to bumper traffic thats why clutch plate got damaged. Is it a correct practice? Also 6 months back I had to get the clutch plates changed ( car had travelled around 43k kms then). I have noticed that my driver reverses the car and when its time to move the car forward he directly slots it in 2nd gear and moves on. I do try some stuff like not using clutch while shifting etc, but this s shouldn't be done frequently. Guess its quite short in your car.īut nuff said, it's not good for crawling in traffic. But due to the immense torque provided, it should be good enough to get the car going. Theoretically the taller gear will put more load on the engine while starting up from rest. So is it ok to start off in second, provided there is minimal clutch usage?Īs long as the car isn't loaded, ie the car moves forward without you having to revv the engine or hold at half clutch for long, it shouldn't be damaging. Also found that I could release the clutch more easily and faster when I started off in second and had to shift to neutral only at stops. ![]() ![]() Whenever I started of from first, the car crawled at a particular speed when the clutch was released partially and on full (and smooth) release the car gave a sudden forward jerk and I had to upshift to second to get it crawling smoothly. While driving my Classic 1.4 TDCi in dense traffic today I noticed that the car crawled really comfortably with no lugging at all when I started off from the second gear.
