How to drive a manual car in nine steps

how to drive a manual car
  1. Getting in the car and put on your seatbelt
  2. Put the key in the ignition and turn all the way until the engine starts
  3. Put the clutch pedal down (this the pedal on the left) 
  4. Move the gear stick into first gear
  5. Use your right foot to press down on the accelerator gently to increase the engine’s revs very slightly
  6. Slowly lift the clutch pedal using your left foot until it starts to vibrate gently
  7. This vibration is known as the car’s “bite point” - this is where the clutch plates start to come together.
  8. Remove the handbrake and the car should start to move slowly
  9. Increase the revs while slowly raising your foot off the clutch unit you are moving forward with only the use of the accelerator pedal
Remember - if you’re too quick lifting your foot off the clutch, or don’t give it enough revs, the car will stall: that’s where the engine cuts out and the red lights glow on the dashboard.
If you stall apply the brakes, turn the engine off, return the gear stick to neutral and begin the process again.
