    i live on long island and tested in hicksville , took 7 individual classes and tried
    my pre trip passed, my road skills need work, i came away knowing ill be a lot more relaxed.
    my nerves where shot , i couldnt be calm which left me shell shocked with blinders and not calling out road hazards
    i whiteknuckled the driving part, all in all im confident after today knowing i can and will do it
    they dont have you look under the hood,its one railroad crossing,no incline,

    the memories i had, i was rusty just like u mate.. dnt worry, failing is part of the process, eventually u gonna get it and be as professional as me.. just practice, if u hve time on your hands, practice! practice ! practice! thats all i did when i was the salt lake city yard at cr england, i perfected my skills to pass everything, while being tested in manuel transmission truck. was not easy since it was first time. be proud that u failed, we are not perfect..

    OP, are you still able to run through the gears and shift ok when accelerating? Is it just the initial takeoff after a stop that was the issue?
