I was parked at my sisters house today and her driveway is gravel and bumpy, and is off of a bumpy dirt road. I was backing out of the driveway and the car felt like it was chugging and bumping, so i fuigured it was just the driveway. I stop, and put it in first, and i stall. I look down and realize my e-brake was still on. Is that bad for the e-brake/clutch? Any long term effects?

Thanks,
-Mike

 

No damage, you will be fine. Everybody does that once in a while, no harm done unless you drive around with it like that for a while.

 

you have a black coupe and ride around in the dirt like that?

how

why

 

Gotta take the G off-roading every once in a while. What do you think someone's always gonna roll out the red carpet in front of ya?

Yeah, driving a 6MT takes a little to get used to.. so many things to think about at the same time It happened to me too once in the good old rookie days, but it's no big deal.

 

Hi Mike,
Your car is fine, if you had gotten that baby up to speed I'd say youe ebrake pads might have lost a little weight. But this short drive, no worries, your baby is fine.

 

ok, thanks a lot for the answers. Good to know. I didnt want to drive down that road, but I had no choice, it was a fathers day party, had to go

 

LOL, short term it's ok. Long term you'll burn the ebrakes out.
Sounds like you did no damage.
