I’m practicing for my driving licence and I’m going to driving school, just out of curiosity though I’ve looking on YouTube how to start and run a car and I’ve seen at least 3 different methods, I dunno which one is the correct. Things like the order when you release a pedal or when you need to press the clutch keep switching…
In my experience owning old pieces of crap, you start a manual transmission by pushing it until it’s rolling down an incline, and then jump in and quickly pop the clutch.
Seriously though, if you’re just learning how to drive a stick, do NOT take it to test for your license.
My dad’s old 1972 Capri was so light, you could push it on flat road, jump in and pop the clutch.
I have memories of being 12-13 years old and my sister (3 years older) and I having to push-start our mom’s Renault LeCar…
