Re: My Buying Experience of Manza Aura Quadrajet
Ok, Now I get it.
@Autosafari, Yes it is good practice to disengage the drive before cranking. This is to avoid sudden jerk if you forget to put your car in neutral while starting. And for some cars, it is a feature. You cannot crank the engine without pressing the clutch.
@ Rudolf, Since you say you had cranking problem - had to push hard/floor the clutch pedal for starting - and complained about it to TASS, My guess is (purely my guess), they might have adjusted the play a little too much. Meaning, in such a way that the clutch is not fully engaged when you release the pedal. More like riding on the clutch. May be the reason that the RPM is more than required for the speed. Then again, it is purely my guess.
You can let us know, at what point, when you release the clutch slowly, the car begins to move. If it is closer to the top most point of the release, then my guess may be correct.
