I'm not a good driver, but this is how I learn.
ok, first things first.
Throttle control: depress your accelerator until your
rpm(free/neutral gear) reach around 2500, then let go. Try not to
look at the tachcometer while practicing, get use to the engine
sound. Repeat until u get use to it.
Moving the car: depress your clutch fully, engage 1st gear, depress
accelerator until your rpm reach around 2500, very slowly release
your clutch until you feel the car starts to move a little.
Release(slowly) the clutch more to go faster. Repeat until you get
use to it. note: don't hold the steering wheel too tightly, just
place your hands there will do.
Steering: hands at 10 - 2 position @ the steering wheel. When
steering, try not to look at the steering wheel, feel you way
through the bend/turn/corner/hairpin/u-turn. Use crosshand method
when you need to turn more. Look at the direction you wan to turn
at all times. Repeat until you get use to it.
Shifting up gear: While moving, depress clutch fully, release
accelerator completely, relax your right hand(just rest on the
steering wheel will do), left hand shift to desired gear, depress
the accelerator until rpm reach around 2500, slowly release the
clutch until you can feel the car going a little faster, release
more to go faster/need more power. Do all of these actions with you
eyes glued to road in front. Repeat until you get use to it.
Shifting down gear: Depress brake(right foot) slowly until you can
feel the car slowing down, depress clutch fully(left foot), relax
your right hand(just rest on the steering wheel will do), left hand
shift to desired gear, slowly release the clutch until you can feel
the car going a little more slower(engine braking effect), slowly
depress the accelerator until desired speed. Do all of these
actions with you eyes glued to road in front. Repeat until you get
use to it.
All of the above must be done with your eyes on the road in front,
try not to look at any of the meters(unless checking for speed),
steering wheel and gear stick. note: if you release the clutch or
depress the accelerator too quickly(especially 1st, 2nd and 3rd
gear), the car will jerk violently, and it'll look ugly from the
outside.
