@@sterlingstauffer2915 well oddly the one I’m driving the emergency didn’t appear to be working because it still moves if I forget about it, also not sure what I’m doing wrong since occasionally the engine smokes and sputters after a while of idling or moving for a long period. Not sure if I’m still not changing gear right or what
A lot of it is muscle and sensory memory; when the engine starts to over-rev in a gear, switch to a lower one. If it sounds like a Harley Davidson (put-putting and about to die) then shift down to a lower gear. Don’t down shift into second gear unless you are going pretty slow, otherwise it grinds.
@@superior_guardian okay, it was difficult for me when I started but it’s all muscle memory now. The main things to remember are: Let off on the clutch slowly all the way, don’t take your foot off until the pedal is all the way out. While letting off on the clutch, gently push the accelerator. It’s a give and take with the gas and the clutch. When braking, you have to push the clutch it. The vehicle will always start moving by itself whenever the gearshift is in 1st, 2nd, 3rd or reverse and when the clutch is released.

There is also a assumption that not every Cushman Truckster has a emergency brake or so
That’s true, very few have one (makes for a very safe driving experience 🙃) I just leave mine in gear when in an incline.

This is slightly helpful but how would you know when to change gears on it?

@@sterlingstauffer2915 well I tried and all I manage to do is kill it a few times and accidentally putting into reverse
@@superior_guardian Have you ever driven a manual transmission before?
@@sterlingstauffer2915 nope, the people who suppose to teach me didn’t bother
