NOT RECOMMENDED, but yes it can be done. You have to get vehicle speed and engine speed at the right level and it will work. Same principle as truck drivers use.

Yes. It probably isn't good for the transmission but I had to do that last weekend.

My cluch cable broke. My girlfriend, girlfriend's sister, and brother in law were all in the car and it was pouring rain on a Friday night. I pushed the car up to a speed that was compatible with second gear, then put car back into gear without the cluch, and drove home and swapped cars.

I have heard stories of people with broken clutch cables actually starting the car in gear.

Yes.

However it is somewhat tricky, and you risk damaging the transmission. Every so often I don't use the clutch in my Honda civic and it works fine. Mostly because I just forgot to clutch it.

So I tried driving around without clutching.. not really a good idea, I ground the gears a few times, after doing that for awhile, and going back to clutching it the tranny didn't like that too much 1-2 shifts were kinda tough for a bit. Its possible I beat up the syncros doing that.

When you accelerate in a car why does the car change quickly between gears?

If it is an automatic transmission, the speed of the engine (in rpm) is what makes the gears change. Accelerate too much and it will fly up through the gearbox when it is not supposed to. If it is a manual transmission, the gears shouldn't change without the clutch being depressed and you manually changing gear; at most, it will simply disengage and cease turning the wheels.


What is a manual transmission in a car?

In a car with a manual transmission the driver not only has to choose between the different forward gears(4-6 of them) himself, he also has to operate the clutch, the gadget that momentarily separates the gearbox from the engine in order to change the gears.

Is a semi automatic better than a manual shifter?

IMO also the fact is yes it is better than conventional manual, the paddle shifters behind the wheel to change gears & it's clutch less. It has a robotized clutch & the shifting are much quicker/faster than with stick shift manual. Even the best/experienced driver can't change gears as fast using clutch as the semi auto. Semi auto changes gears faster will result with better acceleration & has the advantage in races. They really benefits for F1 cars & now for many exotic cars.
