Driving With The Chevrolet Manual Transmissions - Chevrolet Impala 1969 Owner's Manual

Driving with the Chevrolet Manual Transmissions
The 3-speed manual transmission shift
positions follow the standard pat-
tern shown. The 4-speed transmission
shift pattern diagram is located on
knob or the floor plate. Depress the
clutch pedal fully before shifting to a
different gear, then release the pedal
to move in that gear.
Shift into Reverse gear only after
the car has stopped. Always depress
and release the clutch pedal fully
when shifting. Four speed transmis-
sion shift linkage may be adjusted to
allow "short stroke" shift lever oper-
ation. See your Chevrolet Dealer.
NOTE: Use second gear at slow speeds
(less than 30 mph) when driving in stop-
and-go traffic, for improved vehicle per-
formance during acceleration and when
descending steep hills.
