We help the driver understand how the manual transmission drive-train works and focus on safety with smooth, economical driving techniques. The Stick Shift training course consists of one-on-one training to optimize learning and coordination on a manual transmission vehicle. Correct stick shift driving can only be learned in a live environment with hands-on training, in a real time environment with a professional stick shift instructor. Our trainers have extensive experience teaching stick shift from the large commercial trucks namely, Volvo, Peterbuilt, Freightliners with gears, Sports vehicles - Porsche, Ferrari, Nissan, Pontiac, Mitsubishi, smaller trucks, delivery vehicles and sedans.

Whether you're starting from scratch, need additional time, or just need a quick refresher, we have the right lesson plan tailored to fit your needs. How do you shift into the higher gears? It is pretty much the same procedure as starting the car up, except much easier.
Going from second to third and then fourth gear is the same process, and even easier. In order to make a totally smooth shift, you have to balance the gas and the clutch very well. Don't worry, this comes with practice. To shift from first to second and then into higher gears, watch your tachometer. When the neele reads or rpms, your engine is ready for you to shift into higher gear.
How do you know when to shift? You can either look at the rpms or the speed you are going. You should usually shift at to rpms.
The speed to shift gears varies with the car you are driving, so look at the instruction manual to determine the speeds. The speed for each gear isn't as important for upshifting as it is for downshifting.
Calm down. So why did you stall? You put the car into first gear, but you didn't give the car enough gas to move. It wanted to move, but there wasn't enough gas, so it stalled. The silver pad on the left of this automatic transmission car is where you can rest your left foot. The brake is in the middle and the accelerator or gas pedal is on the far right. Practice gently pressing the brake. At first you will press too hard and the car will jerk to a stop.
With practice, stopping and starting will be smoother. These are my techniques for learning how to drive a manual and much easier but less fun an automatic transmission car.

Upgrading to bigger wheels and tires has its pros and cons. It affects the other parts of the vehicle and upgrading other components may be necessary to optimize safety. A dead battery, a flat battery, a bad battery — which is it? Is the alternator bad? The starter? How can you tell if a car battery is bad? What now? What should you do?
What equipment should you have? All you need to know. When engine hesitation occurs with no trouble codes, you could feel at a loss, but this post will help you find the problem. Car flipping tips from an experienced successful flipper. What cars to buy, where to buy them. How to check them out. Do you need a license? First, start by pushing the clutch in and moving the gear shifter to first gear.
It is important to remember to push the clutch in all the way before shifting into any gear because failing to do so will make the gears grind which, of course, is not a good thing. Once the car is in first gear, give it a little gas and slowly let off the clutch. The car will stall if not enough gas is given, or if the clutch is let off too fast.
Conversely, if too much gas is given the tires will spin. The same applies to going in reverse. Starting from a stop is by far the hardest part of driving a manual as it takes a lot of time and effort to do consistently, but once it is mastered everything else will be a breeze. Instructions on starting from a stop begin at in the video. Once starting from a stop is mastered, it is time to learn to change gears.
Then, remove the right foot from the gas, push the clutch all the way in, and move the shifter to second gear. Once this is done, the clutch can be let off again and the gas should be applied, just like in the last step.
This process is to be repeated each time the RPM gauge hits 3. When slowing down, downshifting is a great option, but putting the car in neutral applying the brake will work as well.
Stopping in a car with a manual transmission is a pretty basic thing to do. It can be done by downshifting through the gears besides first gear to use the engine's braking capabilities while using the brakes.
