Post all question relating to learning to drive manual here.
If my start offs are a bit jerky, what am i doing wrong?
Also does anyone have any tips for hillstarts. I thought I had them when but had real trouble yesterday. I use the handbrake but once I put the handbrake down I ended up stalling still
wtf u nub
use regular brake only
Seems like not enough gas both cases
Lighter left foot for hillstarts. Slowly release the clutch until the car lifts up, that means you'll roll forward if you release the handbrake. Generally before you release the handbrake you'd want to give it a little gas too just in case.
Start offs being jerky is just a dumb left foot too so I think you'll just get better over time. Me in my first month was jerky shit but after 4-5 months it's smooth. Gas before clutch (a little gas) every launch. You jerk around because engine braking starts when you don't give it throttle.
>If my start offs are a bit jerky, what am i doing wrong?
Slip the clutch more. Hold it at the biting point for 4 seconds before completely letting off. Keep gas at 1.5k rpm.
>Also does anyone have any tips for hillstarts
When you need to go, release clutch to biting point and quickly release the brakes and give enough gas. You don't need meme strats like handbrakes unless you're up a vertical wall
>I use the handbrake but once I put the handbrake down I ended up stalling still
more gas
I always use my heel to brake and my toe to blip. Is this weird?
im a burger
your gonna die, pls stop user
always makes me laugh how americans make manual into this big ol' skill when everyone else just drives this way anyway. its like when youre a kid and get your first geared bike
