Do you realise that racing cars ONLY come in manual? There's a reason why people in naija can still buy brand new cars that are manual - because crazy makers still make them, and I'm pretty sure Nigerian manual drivers are not numerous enough to justify manufacturers making them - in other words, it's not only in naija that people drive manual, there are lots of people in developed countries who feel that driving with auto is not real driving

Those stunts in fast and furious movies would
NEVER work with auto

The only difficult thing in car is the steering, if you can really steer a car, then you already know how to drive. Also note that steering have numbers, which 70% of drivers in Nigeria don't know!

For a beginner, manual is hard, because of the gear and two leg drive, but when u have mastered it, you will be the one to tell others that's its easy!

To drive manual, the simplest thing u should do first is to check if you leg is pressing the clutch down to the ground, if it's not, then u have to adjust your sit.

2ndly, without clutching down, the gear won't be open to shift, and you won't be able to get your neutral, so you have to clutch down, and shift the gear right to left, to know if it's in the middle (neutral)

Thirdly, since you have gotten your neutral, you can choose to start the girl without clutching down or start it with clutching down the pedal

Fourthly, after you have on the car, clutch down, then shift the gear to the left side and then to the top (which is mostly gear 1 in all Asia cars eg Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Kia etc)

Five, release your left leg from the clutch gradually, (the best way to remove your leg when your are making a movement iand and you don't want the car to jerk and off, is by releasing your leg three times, gradually)

Note: while releasing your leg from the clutch, it's not a most you apply the accelerator (gas), cause manual cars can move without accelerator (gas)

okabe:

Depends on the type of automatic tranny in the vehicle
For example you can jumpstart a 1987 mercedes benz 230E (Automatic) by putting in in neutral then towstart(push d car) it, then shifting it back to 3 or 2 and returning to neutral after the engine has started to prevent damaging the tranny

dandollaz:


you are totally wrong.Automatic driver only cant say i can drive because the day you face Manuel you will cause serious holdup because u cant control the gear.it took me one day to drive manual God know it took me 2weeks to master manual as authomatic expert.It help to learn manual because i can move any vehicle now.

streetzdreamz:
it can be stressful when you wanna make a quick by pass/overtaking and your gear selector thinks you are being too mean on the gas pedal, you know what I mean?? or at a hilly road and your cars system still think the third of fourth gear is still okay to take you through, in summary you ain't in control of your ride, the system invariably rides you........ its fun when you have both transmission, I prefer the manual rides for a long journey, while the auto for short inter city movements.

advanceDNA:


It's not an analogy...the day it happened to me I felt very embarrassed......cos my babe too was like what da heck? U can't drive..I had to start explaining to her that I ddnt learn with a manual transmission....those kinda scenario usually comes up,thank God the person ddnt die...the second scenairo was..my fridge stopped working so I wanted to move it to the engineer's shop.I tried every position but the fridge couldn't fit into my car...my neighbour saw me struggling nd offered help with her car since it a hatchback.....I mounted the fridge at the back of the car successfully only for me to get in and found out the car was a fvcking manual....the first thing she said was....cant u drive....I couldn't respond cos technically, I actually can't drive a the fvcking car given to me...I had to spend 3k to transport the fridge cos she said she can't drive me to the place cos of her little baby....

I am not in support of automatic vehicles but have you heard about kickdown in automatic, when you manually change to a lower gear in an auto vehicle.

clemz85:
Manual all the way,
Check out American muscle cars - manuals Check out racing cars - manuals
If you wannu send me with automatic let it Be tiptron, I love the sport mode

Unsad:
You think it's easy to be using two legs to drive.

maturemindsonly:


modern racing cars are semi- automatic bro.. i ll choose manual over an auto tho

clemz85:


Yea I have notice that... watching Ken Block drift, have you seen that guy? If you are a drift ass lover man I recommend you watch his videos (youtube), entertain your day Bro

streetzdreamz:
I don't understand what you are talking about,"changing the gear lever from drive down to 2 or 1'" is that what you talking about??

Gbengageorge:


Thanks for this insight, now I know one can still jump start an automatic

ZIMDRILL:


you can jump start any car

it think he is causing the wrong word

he means PUSHSTART

there is a difference between jumpstarting and pushstarting
