Congrats on the car.
but
i have a question you bought a Manual stick shift and Don't know how to use it?

 

ummmmm don't crash it... maybe you should have learned on a cheaper car ... clutch isn't a cheap part and it's not under warranty. but as far as driving tips for you and your new G. Don't race people not only b/c it's reckless and lame but b/c if your not shifting right you could potentially mess up your car

 

Congrats

 

It takes like a day to learn.


If I were you, I'd practice by SLOWLY easing out JUST the clutch until it begins to grab and push the car forwards, from that point lightly press on the accelerator, then ease the clutch out as you accelerate.

 

I say find a big empty parking lot and practice there. That way you have less of a chance of crashing and you can get a better feel for the car.

 

thanks for all the responses guys, i think ive stalled about 10 times in like 2 hours total driving time...is that a good start or bad ?

o ya...and ill add pics this weekend

 

Hmm, maybe try a little harder, haha... I didn't stall mine out at all, and it was my first stick... It aint no thang. You'll get the hang of it soon enough, and after that you won't even think to do it, it just happens.

 

it's about average, in the beginning. Make sure you practice going up slopes too.

 

BS on guy not stalling once while learning stick.

just remember how a penguin walks. waddle your foot slowly off the clutch, while pressing an equal amount on the accellerator. oh, and don't forget to set your e-brake

 

Hey now, I didn't say it was a smooth take off!

 

Good luck with the new car!

 

so what do u guys recommend on breakin in the G? like the highest rpm i should go up to and everything. sorry for the newbish questions, im not new to cars, i just wanna make sure im doing everything right cuz i dont wanna mess it up
