CAUTION!

Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch
pedal, or attempt to hold the vehicle on a hill with the
clutch pedal partially engaged, as this will cause
abnormal wear on the clutch.

NOTE:

During cold weather, you may experience in-

creased effort in shifting until the transmission fluid
warms up. This is normal.

Shifting — 2500/3500 Models

Truck models with manual transmission are equipped
