How to Drive a car with a Manual Transmission
Step 1: Familarize yourself with the pedals. You will see three pedals on the foot board, the gas pedal, the brake pedal and the clutch pedal. They go in this order, left to right; clutch, brake, gas.
Step 2: Familarize yourself with the gear shift. It will appear as the example in the photo. 1st, 3rd and 5th gear to the top, 2nd, 4th and Reverse on the bottom. The area inbetween these gears is neutral
Step 3: Make sure you are on flat ground.
Step 4: Set the parking break. Put the gear shift into neutral
Step 7: Release the parking brake.
Step 8: Slowly lift your foot from the clutch pedal, when you hear the engine slow depress the gas pedal lightly. You will feel the vehicle start to move.
Step 9: Continue to accelarate until the engine reaches 3,000 rpm then depress the clutch once again and move the gearshift into second gear.
Step 10: Release the clucth pedal smoothly while depressing the gas pedal
Step 11: Repeat this series for each gear until you've reached your desired speed.
