Driving a stick requires a little bit or coordination. The first thing you do is push in the clutch the pedal to the far left. Then move the gear shift into 1st gear let out the clutch slowly while pushing down the gas pedal on the far right slowly. Once the vechicle reaches 15 to 20 mph push in the clutch and shift into 2nd gear while pushing down the gas pedal slowly a little further increasing your speed. With time practicing, you will be able to tell by the sound of the engine when you need to shift into the next gear. Hope this help Good luck!

well the stick shift is a complicated for beginner but if u practicing for about 2 day straight u can drive it with no problem
well stick shift is all about the clutch..when u start the car u have to press the clutch and the clutch is locate the third pad on the left all the way on the left and press and hold it and then turn the ignition and if ur car in manual then u can releast the clutch but if is in one then u shouldnt releast the clutch because is will stall (engine shut down for 5 second or more depend on the car ) when after u done with ignition and all u have to do is press the clutch and shift back to reverse and then slowly releast the clutch and ur rigth foot press the gas as same amount of time of the gas...slowly slowly..if u press it to much on the gas and releast the clutch 2 slow is will stall the car..and then when..u done with it press the clutch and shift back to 1 and then repeat the clutch and gas one slow ly releast the clutch with same amount of gas and releas the clutch and press the gas.....and if u can get throught 1st gear then u should be fine..and when u stop at red light or stop light..u should press the clutch and the brake pad same time...because press teh clutch to make u shift to neutral and save gas and brake is brake on the car to brake down the speed...and dont let go of the clutch and then u on ur own..!!!! hope this help !

Was it road rage or just frustration?

basically on a car there are five gears, now each gear has its RPM's (pay attention cause these are the basics) RPM's are the Rotations Per Minute. The more Rotations Per Minute the Faster the car is able to go. Dont take this literally because each gear has its RPM limit usualy from the red line in the guage meter of your RPM's. One thing you should always keep in mind is to NEVER redline your RPM's, maby only when your racing but thats later on, what I'm saying is that you dont want to be red lining your RPM's because if you do that for a long period of time you might blow your engine and you dont want that now do you cause that sucks, trust me i know! Any ways to the main point, so generally a stick ****... err shift i mean (lol) has three pedals; the clutch, break, and the gas. these pedals are aranged according to order from left to right. of course you prob already know that in order to turn on the car you have to step on the clutch and have it in Neutral. (Neutral means that the stick shift is free and not in any gears. you can tell by moving it to the middle and shaking it from left to right.) When ever you want to get the car moving you have to start from gear one. To get the 1st gear in you have to step on the clutch and then throw it into First. (whenever changing gears you always have to step on the clutch) all gears are assembled as so, to make it easier for you draw this out; draw a box and in this box your gonna draw the gears either 5 or 6 same thing gears are in this order; left top hand corner is gear 1 , left bottom hand corner is gear 2. top middle of box is gear 3, bottom middle of box is gear 4. top right hand corner is gear 5 and bottom right hand corner is gear 6 or it is the reverse. if you have six gears you have to push the stick shift farther to the right and down. all cars have their gears set up like this. ( unless your in japan cause that would be the complete opposite) when changing gears you have to go in order From 1-5 or 6. hope this help good luck. PEACE
