Question

If you were driving a stick shift car up a hill?

Answer 1

Not if you kept your foot on the brake.

Answer 2

no as long as the brake is pushed down,to start ,hold down brake,clutch then restart.

Answer 3

In gear the car will not roll back but, it will when you push the clutch in to restart the engine, but smart drivers set their parking brake first and then start. The parking brake (properly maintained) will hold the vehicle in place.

Answer 4

No. The mechanical link between the transmission and the driven wheels woudl prevent this, but it would put starin on your transmission, because of the weight of the car bearing directly on the transmission.

Answer 5

not if you have the brake in....but it would not roll back if you didn't coz it's in gear.

Answer 6

If you were in a low gear the engine would probably hold you as it would have to turn over backwards to roll back down the hill

Answer 7

I can't even drive stick.

Answer 8

Possibly, if the hill is steep enough. You don't want to crank your engine over backwards, so if the scenario you described happens, press the clutch in immediatly and then brake
