    Default Driving standard

    Any of you guys drive with a clutch?

    I'm learning it now, because when I master it I got a Jeep Wrangler waiting for me!

    Both my lancer and evo were stick before I sold them. Just keep driving, i was so frusturated when i first started I almost broke my hand punching a wall. After about 2-3 hours you should have it.

    Just keep it up, there are no tricks really.

    Just pay attn to the feel of the clutch and where the clutch starts to engage. Remember you don't have the put the clutch to the floor, just past the engagement point.

    as for the 2-5 instead of 2-3...don't worry, i've been driving stick for hella long and i still do that shit.

    I learned on a 4 speed honda. Wish my current SUV was standard. There's a much better feel for the vehicle when it's standard. I used to be able to light a smke, change the channel, shift, pick my nose, sip my coffee at the same time.
