: Car stalls when you put in gear?

I have a 2001 with just under 70,000 miles on it. Every so often when I put the car into gear the car will stall?? My friend joke and say I don't know how to drive a manual. I can assure not the case. My foot has the clutch in all the way and the car will stall? Any ideas?

I'm wondering if the hydraulics for the clutch are starting to decline. Is the car hard to shift into gear?

Could the idle be set too low? Or maybe it is your driving!!:cheers:

Could be the colum lock for the security system

I don't understand that one? Are you saying that the sensor for the column lock is bad and thinks that it is still locked when in fact it is'nt?:cheers:

You would get the dreaded "Service Column Lock" on the DIC if you were having column lock issues.
