[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 308175, member: 4653"] The way Danny described is perfect. I would just add, if you're not comfortable, don't release the park brake until the truck begins to move. Also, what Scratch said is priceless. DON'T THINK ABOUT IT. Just do it. If you start thinking about it and are unsure about yourself, you will get nervous and stall out, roll back, and potentially cause an accident. Please be safe, this should be your primary concern. If you must, don't stop at the crest of the hill at the stop light. Lay back, even if its 100 feet and you are pissing off the people behind you. Do this until you feel comfortable. But if you continue to do this after a week or so, you probably shouldn't be driving a stick! [/QUOTE]
