This is one for you manual transmission guys. Sometimes when attempting very steep obstacles when I lose all traction, the engine will stall. When this happens of course I lose the power braking and steering. At that point i need to restart engine, but have one foot on the brake pedal and other foot depressing clutch. (another foot would be helpful here for accelerator) I can see the advantage of automatic here and see how stall could have been avoided in the first place with one foot on gas and other on brake. Anyway, the thought occured to me that I might be able to avoid the stall with my manual transmission if I could also control the throttle and use my feet on the clutch and brake. I could connect a throttle cable with lever to my shift lever for example to control the throttle with my hand, in this type situation. Anyone have any experience or advise on such a setup?
