Re: Dos and Don'ts of driving a stick?
1. Don't rest your foot on the clutch, always use the dead pedal. You may be depressing it a bit without intending to and you may lower the life expectancy of your clutch.
2. Down shifting has its uses, but I, for one, don't really use it when coming up to a light unless I can gradually coast down with no one behind me.
3. At first, you're gonna have to stare at the tach to get the shifts right, but soon you will be able to do it by just feeling the car.
4. At a light, put it in neutral, don't keep your foot on the clutch.
5. At first, your going to panic when you have to start up at a light or what not, stay calm, and do not panic. If you stall, just relax and crank it back up.
6. When you park, put it in 1st gear.
