How do I shift gears in a manual transmission car?

Question

From standstill i press the clutch fully and then let it go halfway and then give it gas and then let the clutch off fully right?

And while in motion do i press the clutch...shift gear...and then let the clutch out halfway again...give it gas...and then fully let the clutch out slowly?

or do i slowly let the clutch out fully and then give it gas?

anyone?

Answer 1

Every clutch is different, so it just depends on your vehicle. Try this though..

Press the clutch down completely, Slowly begin releasing the clutch while giving it gas and try to do this equally if that makes sense. As much as you release the clutch, give it that much more gas. It's better to give it more gas than not enough, as this will help prevent the car from stalling.

Starting it up is the hardest part. Once you get past that, the rest should come easier to you.

To change into another gear while driving, simply press in the clutch  fully when your RPMs are at about 3. You'll get more familiar with when you should do this as you begin driving more. You'll be able to feel and hear when you should change gears. You don't want to change gears to low or to high,

Hope this helps!
