[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 308063, member: 484"] I take it you have not driven a stick much, have you? It is a careful ballance of letting up on the clutch enough to where you can 1 feel it catch 2 hear it slow down the engine. Not to where it dies, but to where you can hear it begin to bog down a bit. Then move your foot off the brake and onto the gas and while slowly giving gas, come up off the clutch slowly as well. Now, If you are using proper methods at a stop light on a hill (and you can use it anytime you stop on a hill) you would have your emergency brake on. Give the car some gas to speed up the engine just a little, and at the same time slowly come back on the clutch, and as you feel the clutch engage, or hear the engine slow, then release the brake. With a bit of practice, you will do just fine. Just remember, everyone was where you are at now. Just keep your cool. and if the sup giving you the test is any good, he will understand if you are a bit jerky in your movements at first. Good luck and let us know how you make out. d [/QUOTE]
