You got plenty of advice, but the main thing you will need to learn is getting the car to move smoothly in 1st gear. First, I think you should start out WITHOUT using your gas pedal at all, on a flat surface. That way you'll feel where the clutch engages and how it works in that particular car. That's really the hardest thing about driving manual, 1st gear. After you mastered that, everything should be a lot easier to learn.
Other than that, make sure you're in an empty parking lot on your first few drives, haha. |
