need some help driving stick Options

[mrgrape]

k so iver never driven stick before, but for my new job as a car wash attendant at a BMW dealership
there are tons of opportunities to drive the cars, but i let my coworkers do it because i have no idea
one of the coworkers told me its the best to learn at work as u can **** the car up and no one will really care.

i prob wont be shifting to 4th gear at all, not evne 3 maybe 2 at most because of the distance we drive to park the cars in the lot after detailing.

if someone could give me some pointers on starting the car that would be cool, as more of a type of driving for 5-15mph.

Push in the clutch, pop it into first. now press on the gas and eas off the clutch, try to balance it out and have them meet in the center. once the car is rolling u can let off the clutch and its smooth sailin. for 2nd gear just push in teh clutch, shift to second and balance them gas and clucth again. if it starts buckin just push in the clutch. Also if u hear it start to sputter its normally cause u need more gas and less clutch. ull probably stall 2 or 3 times. but after that its cake

Sever pretty much nailed it, But remember you have to hold the clutch to start it and to use the break as well. But that whole ballancing the gas and clutch is key.

Clutch 100% = Gas 0%
Clutch 90% = Gas 10%
Clutch 50% = Gas 50%
Clutch 25% = Gas 75%

IDK what the word is to describe that; but that''s the idea of balancing the clutch and gas.

Rev to 10K and let go Who said that stupid sh~ i lol'd.
