    That same engine was also used in the Chevrolet Cavalier, of which I had a '97 year model once. On top of that, mine had the 3-speed automatic. All in all, it's not the worst engine out there.

    @RobertWilson-td7eb 3 роки тому +5

    I've owned 3. Great little trucks, no real mechanical issues. My advice: 5 Speed over the Automatic (especially in the 2.20 Four). You need the gear selection to keep the right power band, automatics lug it down. Second: Stick with the 2.20 - Four with the 5 Speed. Great gas mileage; over 20 around town; upwards 28+ highway. The 4.30 V-6 has plenty of power, but fuel economy suffers. In the little S-10, v-6 mileage is MINIMALLY better than a FULL SIZE CHEVY with the V-8. S-10 has good ride, handles well; easy to park; carries most needs of a pickup. Recommend the Extended cab if you can find one.

And i absolutely love it. I just finally learned how to drive manual for the first time at 23 years of age. Always drove automatic my life. But now i honestly prefer manual over automatic. Ive drove 4 wheelers and dirt bikes with manual shifting but any car or truck was always automatic.

    @gentle285: you cannot shift into 5th gear anytime you want. If your speed isn't high enough, your top gear will drop the rpm of the engine below its power range and it will die out. You have to go through all the gears until your speed is high enough so that your top gear (5th or 6th on most cars) won't drop the rpm too much and then mentain your speed and that gear to achieve the best fuel economy. From my experience 60-70 mph and 6th gear will give you the best economy.

    Two things I learned from my dad when I learned how to drive a standard are, people who can't really drive standards or who haven't learned right put it in neutral or press the clutch in and coast to a stop rather than downshifting, and to put it neutral and let the clutch out when you come to a red light or somewhere where you have to stop longer than a couple of seconds and to never sit there with the clutch pushed in

    It's possible, but it takes a lot of time and a lot of money. In your case I wouldn't suggest doing a conversion, only because of how common your truck is and its actual worth. What I mean by this is, it would probably be cheaper, and definitely way more easier to go out and buy another single cab 2.2L S10 with a manual transmission than it would be to convert your current truck.

He eventually gave up on it because the warranty ran out. I don’t think it was until 98 or nine when GM finally had a lot of those issues resolved.

    I have the 4.3 1997 ZR2 (3 inch lift factory, power windows, locks, automatic).
    Drives great. I test drove a older (91 body style) 2.8 VERY SLOW compared to the 4.3

    @talldude123 GEO was GM's import re-badge brand. AKA Toyota, Suzuki, isuzu. so only the prism(corolla) had 2 airbags Also, since that truck was designed in or around 91 thats why only the 1 airbag (only 1 year after it was required to have 1 airbag in all cars(1995ish) . It got 2 when it was redesigned. BTW it wasn't that long ago when there were only those motorized shoulder belts. GM actually had the first airbags in the 70's years ahead of its time. while taking 8 yrs to redesign a car

    I've noticed that most 5 speed S10s I've ever seen don't have a tach. And every automatic S10 I have seen does. I have a 94 S10 5 speed with no tach. It doenst matter though. If you can really drive a standard you don't need a tach. However, if you feel you need one. At least 94 models and up that I know of, have a light on the cluster that tells you when to shift up.

    The manual transmission for sure, as long as you're not driving like you're on a drag strip, you'll get better gas mileage than the same truck with an automatic. It's not a HUGE difference, but there still is a small savings overall in the long run.

    @aarynshiya7872 7 років тому +8

    I find it to be bullcrap when car manufacturers don't put a tachometer on manual transmission vehicles. Kinda hard to know when to shift if you don't have a tacho

    • @jamesonhughes8836

      I agree, although the S10 does have a "shift up" light that comes on.

    So im buying a chevy s10 "97 .. im excited about it. However i dont know how to drive Manual. So im watching this video and it doesnt appear to be difficult. I noticed wen ur shifting gears ur foot is still on the gas pedal. now do i release the gas pedal slightly or fully when shifting?

    If the clutch is pushed in, no gears are engaged, so coasting to a stop is just fine.

  • @DawnPatrolMoto
    @DawnPatrolMoto 12 років тому +1

    Agreed, no problems with coasting to a stop. I can downshift fine, but any usage of the clutch is additional wear on it. Using the brakes with the transmission in neutral coming to a stop puts extra wear on the brakes sure, but brakes are cheaper than a new clutch.

    • @joshuaphillips1867
      @joshuaphillips1867 2 роки тому

      Every time you push that clutch in, you are wearing the pressure plate and throw out bearing to disengage the clutch, nevermind the nominal "wear" you think you would save on the clutch disc itself.

    @XClone08 It's best to try manual out for yourself rather than a video. Driving manual is just one of those things you need to get the feel for (balancing clutch and gas, when to shift and things like clutch feel in high torque motors). I drove a bit in my Uncle's Honda Accord and I made the car jerk and move like it never did before lol.

  • @hapajin
    @hapajin 13 років тому

    @MrLagunaChris a lot of it has to do with the engine design. most engines ur referring to with low hp/liter are push rod(OHV) engines. These don't get a lot of hp for their displacement but they're generally smaller and lighter than a similar displacement DOHC engine. Obviously these are generalizations, and you'll most likely find exceptions to this but that's a big part of the reason why.

  • @04smallmj

    @codrinseth15 my mom's 2003 yaris (1L engine) can go 20 MPH in 5th gear... And my instructer's Honda jazz/fit could do it. The engine will only stall if you stop without using the clutch, or if you start in a high gear (1st and 2nd works the best). My mom's car will wobble and struggle if you put it in 5th at about 10 MPH (I've tried it) but above that, it won't stall whatever gear you're in.
