RE: Manual Trans Operation for Beginners

the only way to learn is to do it in real life, knowing the concept will help but i have met many people who say they knew how to work a manual just to embarass themselves and stall in the parking lot.

I don't know. Three pedals can be confusing, it certainly isn't for everybody...... [8D]

You just get into it and drive it!

Reving to high? upshift
Not enough power? downshift

Stalls when taking off? More fuel
Squeels tires? Less Fuel

Whats to learn?
