Manual Car, Help Please

[IronFreakX]

Ok when i am trying to drive a manual i can do every gear but everytime from when the car is stopped to first gear and its always real shaky and jerky when i start but when i start going i shift fine. what am i doing wrong?

Im no expert in cars but I drove manual only and I ride a motorcycle.

I think the problem is with the gas, not enough power and when you let go of the clutch and the car starts moving you take ur foot off real quick.

Untill you master it, take ur time and practice in a back road or something.

Release the clutch a bit till you feel the car barely moving, increase the pressure on the gas a bit and slowly but not deadly slow, remove ur foot from the clutch and increase the gas either at the same or faster tempo.

Practice makes perfect.

i heard you can rev the engine to about 1000 rpm, then let go off the gas and then slowly release the cluth. then he says once the clutch is completely released, you can apply as much gas as you want..would this work?

I dunno, but why would u do that neway?


Just release it slowly till you hear the engine calm down and the car barely moving, then apply the gas lightly and slowly continue releaseing the clutch.

Go to a back street, stop the car completly, then move till u go to second gear, then stop again, repeat 20 times or till you get it right.

Then go to a semi or low traffic street and try it (because pressure, anxiety and the pressure to succeed from people behind you can cause you to fvck up)

So take it one step at a time and you'll get it.


or do whatever works best and is easiet for ya.

Yes you are.

When your going to start off. you rase the engine rpm just a little at the same time you slowly let out the clutch. You will weel the cluch grab. At the point you give the car a little more gas. Make sure at this point your still letting the cluch out slow. If you just lest it go at the point is when it will hop jerrk and shit like that.

No this is a very hard way to learn. The engine rpm will be falling and your trying to let out the cluch. That is when you stall.

You need to get the feeling of there cluch and were it grabs. That is the hole thing to drinving stick. You will feel as you slowly lest out the cluck the cur will tug. But the cluch still has not grabed at that time. When you fell teh tug is when you add more gas. Then the next step will be the cluck will grab. After it grab the car will pull and drive. At that time you can then let it out 100%
