How to drive a manual shift truck or car FB IMG 1451693436750

Hey guys! I am here today to teach you the easiest way to drive a manual transmission car (also known as a stick shift or “standard” transmission).

After studying this detailed guide, you will be able to start the car, get it moving, and then upshift into higher gears with ease. Don’t be disappointed if you don’t get it at first. It took me a while to get used to a stick shift, but it was well worth it!

Keep practicing and practicing and you will get it! Have fun!

How to Drive a Manual or Stick Shift Car for Beginners

Seven Steps to Get You Into First Gear

1. Find a flat, paved place with no one around where you can practice.

2. Get to know where the gears are with the engine off.

3. Push in the clutch and start the engine.

4. With the clutch still in, move the stick to first gear.

5. Slowly release the clutch until the car starts to roll a little.

  1. 6. With your left foot still on the clutch, give the car a little gas with your right foot until the tachometer reads 1 000 or 2000 rpms.How to drive a manual shift truck or car FB IMG 1500266930603
