By James Lee


Driving a car is very easy but to people who do not know anything about it feels it is hard. There is two times of car designs of which are driven differently. When driving stick shift car, you have to be keen on every activity to make the right moves and not to stop the engine unexpectedly. Below are step by step guide on doing this.

However, there are many things you have to consider when choosing to learn how to do this. The first thing you should know is that you should not train yourself in driving this on a place with a lot of people to avoid accidents. Therefore the best place for this is on roadsides or on an open ground where there are fewer movements of people and cars.

As a beginner, you need to understand you are the one selecting the gears for the c are hence you need to understand how to engage and disengage them. Make yourself comfortable when you get to the seat and push the clutch in to teat if all gears are disengaged by swinging the stick from one side to the other.

Then you can start the engine making sure there is no one standing in front of the car. If you start the engine with someone in front of you and you have not properly disengaged the gear, you might land on them causing an accident. After this, you should push in the clutch and engage the first gear which is found at furthest corner of the lever from where you are sitting.

The other step is to change the gears from number one to number two. You have to make sure you are able to navigate on the road before selecting the gear. You need to step on clutch at once while releasing the gas pedal at the same pace and engage the next gear. Gear number two is located opposite of number one and you will only have to lower the stick past neutral.

Every gear in an engine sounds differently depending on the amount of power in which it produces. Master all these steps because they are very important and have to be followed every time you are driving. Engaging other gear is the same procedure as the one you used in engaging number two and they are supposed to be following each other. Therefore do not forget the gear number you were at.

If you want to perfect on this, you have not to rush in speeding because this might cause more harm than good. Therefore remember to practice on this until you master all the gears and the time in which you must disengage and engage another. This will be taking shorter time if you are keen on the procedure and try to repeat the process regularly.

Before you switch the engine off, disengage all the gears to neutral and pull the handbrake. Now it is the right time to switch the engine off. Rep-eat the process over and over again until you are certain you can do it on road. Asking for help from an experience driver in this type of model is advisable.
