Now that I have been driving for like 3 years and thankfully haven't wreck my ND 🤣 I am feeling inspired to learn manual in case I want to upgrade my ND1 to a 2025 ND3 (those infotainments are really nice arent they) or even like venture into those fancy GR86. Do you guys have any resources I can learn from or even better yet can someone teach me? 😞 Even if I can just sit in a parking lot somewhere and get comfortable with using the clutch and change gears and being able to do that just over and over again I think would be super helpful
Somehow I think you know enough to figure it out pretty easy. Those I have taught learned very quick. While there is more to it (to do everything properly) than what I'm about to put here, there are some basic rules to follow and you'll at least be able to manage while you work on refining the technique:
1. Act as if the clutch and accelerator are tied together. When one is pushed toward the floor, the other must come away. (I really think if more people would be told this one, they would get going much easier)
1a. when starting out, release the clutch slowly and you will be able to feel the clutch point for using the gas.
2. When coming to a stop, do not take it out of gear (learn downshifting after you get going), but just use the brake until the car feels like you need to push in the clutch as well (two feet in rule) to keep it from stalling.
get comfortable in an empty parking lot before hitting the road, and most of all, be gentle and smooth.
