Trying to learn to drive

[Double Donkler]

In regards to clutch shit, is like this:

To slow down: Less pressure on gas, break (if needed) until you go down the speed you need to, press down clutch when you reach that speed and change down gear, then press gas and un-press clutch?

To speed up: Foot off gas pedal, clutch down, up gear, hold down gas, release cluch

Is this it?

Yea i learned on manual too snd still drive the truck i learned in. I always really liked neutral. Like if you’re slowing down a lot or coming to a complete stop just push the clutch down and switch to neutral and slow down until you stop or whatever speed and put it in whatever gear is good for the speed. Otherwise if you’re slowing down a little you can just not even worry about the clutch or changing gears

at a complete stop, I switch to the first gear and press the clutch fully so the car wouldn't turn off

I only ever try to use the clutch if im changing gears snd avoid holding it down so that way it will put less wear on the whole clutch assembly

Does the car turn off it you don't hold the clutch down when stopped?

Nah he drives automatic.

what a fag

 

[Da_Yunez]

what a fag

Its a 4 speed unit with short gearing, (i think it has OD as well iirc) in his 1971 Camaro.

Yeah, dont forget to heel toe as well if having to downshift at a dangerous moment.

 

[Da_Yunez]

Be thankful its an automatic with gears and a torque converter and not some cee vee tee garbage. (Worse if its an jatco cvt.)

Have you had your first lesson yet

 

[Double Donkler]

Have you had your first lesson yet

no

 

[psyop]

no

I was in your position a few months ago. Get your provisional license and book your theory test. When you’ve passed that book your driving test asap, earliest you’ll get it is 3-6 months depending on where you live cause of the covid backlog. Then start getting lessons. Took me 10 hours of lessons and 20 hours driving with my dad, passed first time with 3 minors. There’s some good driving instructors on tiktok and YouTube, watching their videos helps

 

[TheProphetMuscle]

Does the car turn off it you don't hold the clutch down when stopped?

No just put it in neutral

 

[TheProphetMuscle]

97 Mazda b4000 with 260,000 miles

 

[TheCatMan]

From stopped position push clutch in, put it in 1st gear, slowly release clutch (if on a uphill slope give gas first then release clutch quickly or you will roll backwards,) speed up to a higher RPM, push clutch in, move to 2nd gear, release clutch fast and give gas simultaneously. To slow down and down shift push clutch in, move to the next lower gear and release clutch. If coming to a stop I usually just shift to neutral and coast and just brake.

 

[Double Donkler]

(if on a uphill slope give gas first then release clutch quickly or you will roll backwards

is it a general rule to not push the clutch while press the gas down?

very nice, ford ranger but cheaper

do you still daily it or you got a better one alongside it?

I’m no expert on manual bro. My muscle car is an automatic. Only manual I drive is a manual transmission vintage tractor. The tractor is easy af because you just put it in whichever of the 4 gears you want, set the throttle high (it doesn’t have a gas pedal, has a hand throttle), and let the clutch out gently and off you go. Old tractor transmissions can’t shift on the go like a car can, so it’s much simpler

 

[Double Donkler]

 

[NIGGER BOJANGLES]

Also, why are you learning to drive in a manual? That’s just gonna make it harder. I’d recommend getting some automatic compact car that’s easy to maneuver. I learned to drive first with a Cam Am defender large ATV and the first car I drove was a Chevy Trax

Its the same exact truck as a ranger, just a little different body styling. It’s the only car I’ve had and I’ve been driving about 10 years. I rebuilt the motor and had the clutch, shifter linkage, slave cylinder, and tons of other parts replaced on it to keep it going

Seems like a good truck, keep enjoying it bro, hope it lasts many miles more.

Nice. My father owned a 1998 Ranger manual, and later on owned a 2007 Ranger automatic. Great trucks, and both were the 2 door 7 foot length bed versions. Only reasons we sold the second ranger is because it started rusting out and we didn’t want problems, plus it was only a 2wd. The truck he bought after that was a 2016 Colorado Z71 off road edition with a 2 inch lift kit. Still technically a mid size truck, but it’s way bigger than an old ranger and almost the size of a Silverado.

 

[TheCatMan]

If you're giving it gas while pushing the clutch you will burn the clutch up. If I'm at a stop I usually just let of the clutch slowly because if I give it gas while doing that the car will go too fast. The reason for doing it uphill is obviously to stop you from rolling back but you have to be quick with letting off the clutch. It's not hard I literally bought a manual car and leaned to drive it on the way home. I stalled a few times but you get the hang of it.

I need help niggers

Get an automatic car instead

 

[LUCK]

Is this it?

Slam the gas at a busy intersection (on a red light obv) and you can activate flight mode

Nice the new ones are too big imo and yea i definitely feel for guys who live in the salt belt

Yeah, I don’t understand why the newer “mid size” trucks are so big. The 2016 Colorado I have might as well be a full size truck, because when it’s parked next to a Silverado, there’s barely any size difference. Living in the salt belt sucks at times. So many nice vehicles get ruined by rust. That’s why I never take my 1971 Camaro out on salty winter roads. My dad bought that car in 2010 from Arizona because he couldn’t find a decent classic car around here. He took great care of it for the last 14 years, and I’m taking just as good care of it after he passed away and I inherited the car.
