Does anyone know how to drive cars with manual transmisions?For example the car is parked you get in you turn it on with clutch then you press on the clutch pedal and you shift from nuetral to first gear, then here comes the hard part your other foot is on the clutch and your going to press on the gas lightly meanwhile your going to release the clutch slowly but if you take your foot off fast from the clutch the car might die out and the car will shake.

And what do you do when your shifting from 1st gear to 2nd gear?

Does anyone have any sugestions or advise that I should know.

umm yeah man its really not that hard. I would suggest with starting just with the clutch, release the pedal slowly until you can feel clutch start to grab a little bit, then slowly add gas. Find a nice parking lot and have some fun for an hour or so. And switching between gears is a lot easier that starting out in first. Simply switch into second and try to do that same thing you did in first. good luck bro

Preaching to the choir I guess, lol. I never noticed this until after I posted, but this thread is old.
