MANUAL 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION OPERATION
Using the Clutch
The manual transmission has a starter interlock that prevents cranking
the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
To start the vehicle:
1. Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
2. Press the clutch pedal to the floor, then put the gearshift lever in the
neutral position.
3. Start the engine, then press the brake pedal and release the parking
brake.
4. Move the gearshift lever to 1st gear, then slowly release the clutch
pedal while slowly pressing on the accelerator.
During each shift, the clutch pedal must be fully pressed to the floor.
Failure to fully press the clutch pedal to the floor may cause increased
shift efforts, prematurely wear transmission components, or cause gear
clash or damage to the transmission. Make sure the floor mat is properly
positioned so it doesn’t interfere with the full extension of the clutch
pedal.
Note:If you attempt to shift when the drive wheels are spinning with a
loss of traction, it is possible to cause damage to the transmission. Do
not attempt to shift when the drive wheels do not have traction.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal or use the clutch
pedal to hold your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill. These
actions will reduce the life of the clutch.
Your vehicle is equipped with a twin disc clutch. Due to the high
performance of the powertrain, a certain amount of noise from the
transmission is normal.

1Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.2Rear axle lubricants do not need to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is
required or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed
any time the rear axle has been submerged in water. For vehicles with a cooler, the axle pump
must be running to perform the service refill.
Fill 1/4-9/16 in. (6-14 mm) below bottom of fill hole.3The TREMEC 6060 6-speed manual transmission on your Shelby GT500 uses MERCONV
automatic transmission fluid. Make sure that the correct MERCONV ATF automatic transmission
fluid is used as indicated on the label on your transmission.4Service refill capacity is determined by filling the transmission to the bottom of the filler hole with
the vehicle on a level surface. For vehicles with a transmission cooler, the engine must be running,
the clutch pedal must be released, and the transmission must be in neutral to perform the service
refill.
