[QUOTE="BrownSnowFlake, post: 4162310, member: 76769"] To be fair: I failed the driving test my first time even after driving stick for 10 years. The gearbox on a Ford Ranger feels a lot different than a P30. Especially that first gear, or creeper gear, it’s about pointless. It’s also too easy to accidentally shift into 4th instead of 2nd. I did this once while driving air and stalled in the middle of an intersection. Luckily my supervisor doesn’t know of this or I probably wouldn’t be driving now. My advice to OP is to track down a 35 year old stepvan and get some practice. In NYC it shouldn’t be too hard. Not easy, but not too hard. [/QUOTE]
