   Just finished a 32km drive in the manual car. Had just one instance of gear shift hiccup. But overall, I got pretty good at shifting smoothly in rough and congested traffic.
   
   However incline starts going upward is still a challenge. Heard that hand brake helps here; tomorrow will be incline start day.
   
   Hell yeah man

     Pussy. Just swap from the brake to gas pedal quick enough to not roll down.

     @FrailLeaf One foot on clutch, other on brake. Switch to first gear, then quickly move the foot from the brake to gas, press it a bit, then remove the other foot from the clutch. Don't know if the pedal position is different on RWDs.

     @mint pls dont be mean.
     > quick enough
     what kind of foot position do i hold for this? I'm mostly holding my foot exactly under the brake pedal and would title to power when needed to not floor it

     @mint @FrailLeaf 99% of the clutch pedals you come across in life are going to be the furthest pedal to the left.

     @mint yeah this RWD this is Clutch, Brake and Accel in the exact order. This is what I've been trying to do tbh, the RPM i usually take off from 1st gear on flat roads is about 1500. You're suggesting i take it a bit more than this when I give it some acceleration?

     @FrailLeaf Sure, just don't overdo it by pushing rpm too far. I think it gets to around 3-4k for me, but it's winter so the road are full of slush and ice.

     @mint @FrailLeaf wheel drive absolutely doesn't affect the pedal placement

     @mint @FrailLeaf even the steering wheel position doesn't affect it, right hand drive cars still have it as clutch - brake - gas from left to right

     @FrailLeaf @mint nah dude pedal positions don't change ever, the only times pedals change is between manuals and automatics and even then its just the clutch pedal being present or not
     it's a miracle americans didn't come up with some dogshit stupid idea like "the imperial, MURICAN car will have the clutch to the right of the gas pedal instead of to the left of the brake pedal" as they always do

     @lina @mint steering position changing doesn't sound like much of a problem, I can see myself driving on the right-side with not much of a learning curve. But if the pedals change, lmao i'm killing everybody and myself in a horrifying way

     @FrailLeaf @mint millions should learn to drive on a manual (if you can drive a manual, you can easily drive an automatic, but not the other way around)

     @lina @mint sounds about right, americans didn;t ruin themselves here. I started off with automatic transmission cars initially, I thought lack of clutch is easy. But having the clutch control makes the experience much better. I'm always driving a manual forever

     @lina @FrailLeaf Never sat in one (despite the fact we're getting increasingly more of them even though my region is as far west as you can get, Kaliningrad excluded) so wouldn't know that, thanks again.

     @FrailLeaf If the hill is not too steep, you can just slowly let off the brake while slowly engaging the clutch and you'll only roll back a few centimeters before the clutch holds the car and then you let go of the brake and accelerate while continuing to fully engage the clutch.
     
     If the hill is quite steep, you'll want to engage the handbrake, accelerate, slowly engage the clutch until it grabs and then release the handbrake and then continue to fully engage the clutch.
