Default weird

so if i dont give the car enough gas when im gettin out of first gear it starts to shake which i figure is normal but i feel the exhaust rattle and make a weird noise. also im driving on the highway and the car goes from side to side all the time. should i get it aligned or what? and my car sucks on bumps i feel the bumps really bad. is it time to change the shocks or struts? any suggestions. oh yeah almost forgot my car whenever im about to turn it on everytime i give it gas it starts to rattle . only when i give it gas. after a while the noise goes away. my friend was telling me it could be a leak. please help

How used to driving stick are you? If you let up on the clutch wrong your car might shake and even stall. Just practice the foot coordination and you won't feel it shake. At least that's what I did when I learned stick.

Usually on a stick though if it starts to shake if you give it more gas it will quite. That may be a problem.

if its a 5 speed and you are having these issues you need to learn how to drive the 5 speed..you arent giving it enough gas before letting off on the clutch and not pressing in the clutch when you lower in rpms and need to downshift

if you dont think its ur clutch skills (driver error) look into maintenance issues

the side to side movement is definately not good, tie rods check em
