- 2005 VZ Ute M6
g'day all,
just a quick one, being a learner driver and not bothering to attempt parking untill now in my manual ute, how long could you slip the clutch before it's too much and starts doing damage...i know your not meant to slip a clutch, but my car will probably go about 5-6 km/h before it will start to stall
so when i do a parallel park and take things nice and slow, i find my clutch won't be fuly angaged or disengaged...so in order to get the speed right i have to slip the clutch a little, how long is too long before it starts to do some damage?
does anyone have any tips or advice on how to parallel park a ute..i couldn't get it when i tried, and even the instructor was abit hopeless with it next to me...i had a go in an impreza wagon and i got it pretty well, the girl who owned the car said it's the longer wheel base that could be creating the issue. i have no doubts that i have to do someting different due to wheel base and car size, but seeing as though we all own and drive a commodore here i figure someone should be able to help me park me ute.
if you's could go into fairly deep detail (where to start, when to turn the wheel, when to turn it back, how far from the gutter etc)..i've googled it, youtubed it, but there's alot of small cars like VW golfs n such, nothing like the size of a commodore
any info would be greatly appreciated
cheers everyone
