HOW TO DRIVE MANUAL TRANSMISION CAR

1. Next, leave the car in its current gear and press the brake pedal gently with your right foot To come to
a stop. As the car slows, the engine will slow with it. To avoid killing the engine, you'll want to press
your left foot down on the clutch and move the shift lever to neutral--generally somewhere between 5-
10 mph. Release the clutch.
2. Start with your car parked on a flat surface, preferably one without any obstacles you might hit--a
vacant parking lot is perfect. The parking brake should be engaged, the transmission in neutral, your
right foot should be on the brake, and the engine off. This is where we'll begin the process. First,
press down on the clutch pedal until it reaches the floor or its stopping point and then start the car
with the clutch pedal still pressed
3. Car is one of transportation tools that cannot be separated from human being daily activities. Most of
people feel that driving automatic transmission car is easier than manual transmission but it is not
always right opinion. Driving a manual transmission car involves a simple series of motions that, once
learned, become so ingrained as to become automatic. I will give you a basic step to drive a manual
transmission car.
4. Third, slowly feed in more throttle as you continue to release the clutch pedal until the car is moving
forward. Congratulations! You've successfully done the hardest part of driving a stick shift: starting
from a stop. Now that you're moving, changing gears is easier. Just press in the clutch pedal, move
the shift lever to the next gear, and release the clutch pedal. Depending on the car, your rate of
acceleration, and the nature of the transmission, you may have to add a little throttle as you release
the clutch--spend some time making your shifts as smooth as possible.
5. And the last, once the car is stopped, leave the shift lever in neutral and keep your right foot on the
brake until you're ready to start off again (in which case, repeat the process from step 4 above). If
parking the car, press in the clutch, shift into first gear, and shut off the car--but don't forget to set the
parking brake.
6. Second, release the parking brake. Still keeping the clutch pressed in, move the shift lever from
neutral into first gear and then release the clutch pedal smoothly while slowly pressing your right foot
on the accelerator. The goal isn't to get your right foot flat to the floor--just a little bit will do. As you
release pressure on the clutch with your left foot, you should feel a "bite," a place in the pedal's stroke
where the clutch begins to engage. The car may start to creep forward at this point. Remember where
this point is.
