been driving a manual for about a week here
Basically first 3 days i was stalling on most stoplights and now i only stall on big shitty speed bumps or on steep hill starts
Also still have to work on pulling out the clutch cause most of the time when getting out of first or shifting gears the car shakes
because you think you're some savant because you can drive a manual car. when the reality is it takes at least a day for someone to get the hang of it. even karting champions and people who have ridden motorcycles since they were single digits aren't good at it right away. like anything it takes practice, at least a few hours to become comfortable with it, longer for someone who has no experience with a clutch at all.
>found the nocar
i started driving manual when i was 13, no instructions given, took me about 20 mins to figure out the clutch and then probably another 10 to remember to clutch in when stopping
youll be fine, dont worry if you stall your car but try to focus on not burning out the clutch
I was driving home from work and saw a 2016 wrx on the road. It had paper taped on the back window. I thought it was a temp paper plate at first but they have an actual plate so that wasn't it.
Looking closer it was a hand made sign that said simply:
"LEARNING MANUAL"
Guy was maybe mid 20s. Do that and fucking go learn.
Guy drove fine, pulled away from stops really slowly, overly cautious about stalling, but I didn't smell clutch at all so good on him.
Be thankful that he gave you 3 hours, faggot, he probably has man things and father things to be doing. back in his day, kids taught themselves this shit, and they didnt have the entire internet to teach them either. go thank him, and then go practice and stop being a little bitch
>They drive a manual
>And then they said they cant afford an automatic
i have both
Just keep at it.
I had to learn how to drive a manual before I could get my license because my parents only had manuals. I bought my first car and Ive had automatics ever since.
Just bought a manual 4 cylinder recently to get back into it.
