I hadn't driven a manual for 10 years which was when I had my driving assessment, but I am starting a new job soon where they only have manuals.
Not wanting to make a fool of myself I went and had a lesson today. Didn't go to bad but was taught differently from when I first got my licence.
Firstly the instructor told me to put foot on accelerator to get some revs then bring up and release the clutch, that way I wont stall supposedly. Found this difficult as I was taught to get cluctch to friction point then press down on accelerator. Any thoughts on this?
Secondly was originally taught that you couldn't go from 4 or 5th straight back to 2nd when coming to corners where as today instructor told me I should. Any thoughts on this?
Driving a manual is definitely a pain compared to an automatic but should get used to it again.
