How do you drive you 5AT Manumatic? how do you do it, when do you shift, tips, just share everything you know!!

Keep your foot on the gas as you shift with a quick shove into the next gear

make sure u upshift and not downshift by mistake.lol.
also, keep ur foot on the gas, too many people drive it like a manual and let off the gas to shift, no! dont do that. other than that, it has a difficulty between an auto and a manual.

WOT, at 6k, tap up to the next higher gear, and again...and again...well, you get the idea. :-)

just do whatever feels right to you... when i just wanna cruise i'll shift under 2500... when i wanna go fast... i'll shift at 6800

it's all about how you wanna drive the car.

I drop to 3rd gear when going through a school zone when kids are present or the lights are flashing.

Otherwise, leave it in D.

between 3k and 4k is just peachy!

wow. i usually left off the gas half a second and then punch it into gea. I shouldnt be doing that...?

^No
Try it the way the others have said...you will feel the difference

From personal experience, make sure you're actually in manual mode before trying to upshift

just keep bouncing it off the rev limiter in first

Just keep your foot planted to the floor .. when the tach reads 6k .. upshift ... and when you get the timing down .. you can go a lil past 6k and upshift and you wont hit the rev limiter

I've done that before (keeping my foot on the gas) and shifting. I noticed my car lags half a second when I upshift then it kicks into the 2nd/3rd gear etc..

You'll have to learn the hard way. Take the car out and test it, then see which way work better for you. Just incase you mess up and hit rev limit. Don't worry not thing much will happen just some smell of burning stuff haa ha ha!

to slow down, is it the same but in reverse order?
