Steps to Start a Manual Transmission Car?

[Caden]

The first step is to locate the gear lever, clutch, and neutral position. Next, start the car by pressing the clutch with your left foot while simultaneously pushing the gear lever into first gear with your right hand. At this point, release the handbrake and slowly lift the clutch. When the car body begins to vibrate slightly, gently press the accelerator with your right foot while slowly lifting the clutch, and the car will start moving normally. If you start the car with the gear engaged without pressing the clutch, it may jerk or stall. After pressing the clutch, even if the car doesn't roll on flat ground, it may roll on an uphill slope. Therefore, before starting, it's best to confirm whether the current gear is in the neutral position and whether the handbrake is engaged. Then, ignite and start the car before shifting into gear. If you are on a slope, be sure to press both the clutch and brake simultaneously before igniting and starting the car. Remember not to release the clutch, as doing so can easily damage the transmission gears.
