I'm new to driving sticking-shift. Please don't flame me, I am here to keep my car from getting damaged.
When shifting from first gear to second, do you guys release the clutch slowly then step on the gas again? or Do you release the clutch right away then step on the gas? What's your process for handling the hills and slopes in an manual mr2 when you're at a complete stop? Do you use the e-brake? 1) Dad: I was told by my dad to release the clutch slowly but fast enough to keep the car going for all gears 2) Cousin: I was told by my cousin that if release the clutch slowly it would burn the clutch. He said you only release the clutch slowly on first gear. then on second i must let the clutch out completely then gas it. 3) Some guy online: I was asked some guy online and he said I should release the clutch slowly for 1st and 2nd gear then for 3 etc.... I should release the clutch quickly then gas it. Please help I'm a bit confused now. |

The transmittion shouldn't let you even if you accidently push the stick into first or reverse, unless your completly stopped. The easiest way to get a hang of it when your first learning is to just have someone like your cousin or dad that can drive a stick in the car with you and they can help you by tellin you if your doing something wrong, and start trying to drive the car on flat land, the go down a hill or go towards a point where you can stop at and practice downshifting, the when your comfortable on flat land try going up an incline. ^^^^^Thats just the way my dad taught me how to drive a stick when i was younger hope it helps you out some...... |
