Hello all
i watched the sunbeam channel video on the roller bearing throw out bearing and was very surprised to learn that I had been starting my car improperly for years.
The video states that one should not depress the clutch pedal when starting the Sunbeam Alpine. I was also surprised that an original owners manual does not include this tip in the “starting procedures” while there is the caution about keeping your foot away from the accelerator pedal when using the choke.
I have been driving manual transmission cars since the 1960s. Have I been doing this incorrectly all along? Should one not depress a clutch pedal while starting any manual transmission car?
Thanks
Andrew
