I'm about to try driving stick for the first time in 2 years, and the first time I did it was for about an hour and a half, so I'm not very experience. Does anyone have any pointers? Something they wish they had known when they tried to learn? |

Patience.. if you're anything like I was.... I got so pissed I kept making mistakes and killing it.. and yes empty parking lots and unbusy hills are your biggest friends.. SCREW RUSH HOUR... stay simple at first. DOnt flip when you mess up and see someone laugh... they did the same thing.... MOST OF ALL (my best friend did this to my car while teaching her how to drive it) once you start to bog the engine a lil bit.. give it SOME gas.... don't drop the clutch or even worse pump the clutch.. that is KILLER on the car.
