RubyXR6T Member 22 Member For: 18y 3m 5d Posted 03/04/07 11:59 AM Share Posted 03/04/07 11:59 AM Hey guys,having trouble with a certain part of my car, (dont want to go too far into it at the moment) and basically I should be able to roll start my car, but dont seem to have any luck in doing so. Even a local mechanic tried, and although he said he nearly got it going, he didnt. So, has anyone had to roll start a XR6T, and if so, had any troubles doing so??Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hill steep enough??Are you using second gear.. Are you feeding out the clutch or dropping it?? Edited 03/04/07 12:06 PM by revheadrobbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
