Rep Power: 255

I don't know of any driving schools in Scarborough, but I guess it's because I've never been there. What I can help you with is, look at the date at the top of each post to keep you from bumping a thread that is less than a week from being six years old. Hope it helps.

lol for those of you still wanting to learn. remember slow on the clutch!

rev it until it hits the redline then let the clutch out as fast as you can.

my best note of advice is what i tell people who I've taught in my own car: learn to balance certain RPMS using the gas pedal. People that have driven automatics all their lives aren't used to momentarily balancing the gas pedal before letting off the clutch.

Before I've taught anyone in my car I have made them balance the gas pedal to 3,000rpm for 10 seconds then let off the accelerator. I make them repeat it until they seem to have it down pat.

Also, the clutch is the saving grace. When in doubt, always depress the clutch.

I have a friend who is a sales manager at a honda dealership and I learned by letting him allow me to test drive a used civic. So we took that beesh out and f-ed that clutch then went and bought a different one lol. I love my 5 speed though i will never drive anything but a manual.

Why does a car stall?

have u ever driven a manual? you stall the motor if you dont engage the clutch right.

I've only driven it once or twice.
Someone told me why it does, but I forgot why.
I don't know too much about cars. : (
How can you not engage the clutch right?

dont give it enough gas and let the clutch out too far, you need to rev the motor up than disengage the clutch slowly until the car starts moving

and when you want to shift gears, you should put the clutch all the way down? or no?

 
Rep Power: 475

I was thinking about.. just learn automatic first, and then learn standard later on.
Or at least till I can afford any car..
