Starting road training - go Manual or Auto?

Good choice, only girly-man drives automatic

 

MANUAL. BEST OF LUCK

 

Don't worry it takes a couple years to get really smooth with a manual .. to where u can shift it like second nature.. u aren't going to perfect it in a couple weeks... the main thing to practice is keeping it in gear and not missing shifts, coasting in neutral.

 

I don't know... I tried learning Manual at my school and that was the hardest thing I've ever have to learn, switch to Auto two days later cause they didn't give enough time ( IMO ) to learn it, so that's two cents.

 

EVERY driver had more difficulty downshifting than upshifting. Don't give up & don't press the clutch one tiny but more than the little bit needed to get into or out of gear. EVERY newbie pushes the clutch TOO FAR and that just about guarantees you can't downshift. Clutch should only be pushed all the way when you are stopped. Every other clutch push should only be 25-50% of all the way. Semi trucks are not cars with car transmissions where you ALWAYS push clutch all the way down. Doing that in a truck makes shifting almost impossible and wears out the clutch brake.

 

This tells me you need to stick to an automatic. you don't float gears in a car or light truck, it destroys the syncros.

 

you know were getting old reading how too drive a stick, or go with the auto, ha ha ha
