backfire and gear engages itself

Ok so I get a backfire on cold startups, is this normal? Do I finally need to get a urd maf calibrator to adjust air/fuel?

Its a 4 banger*

Secondly on cold start ups I can engage first (didn't try second) gear without the use of my clutch, it just falls right into gear when I move the shifter? Is that normal at all?

Thanks and hope everyone had a merry christmas!

 

Can't help you with the backfire-

Slipping the truck into gear is not normal perse...but it's not bad. Just happens to be that everything lines up and it slides in.

 

I love it when it lines up and slides in

 

^haha gotta love an answer like that!

 

^ I know right ha, leave it to one person to ruin a perfectly good thread

 

Yea, technically you don't need a clutch at all if you hit every shift point perfect... Though it's abnormal to hit it on first...
