Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear May 13, 2011 Share May 13, 2011 A learnt manual driver will not keep on stepping on the clutch or half clutch in severe jams. There are some techniques to use to free yourself from holding excessively onto clutch pedal. You can even travel in crawling traffic without hardly using brake (unlike auto) and without using too much half clutch. You need to read the traffic and anticipate more than a auto driver, that's all. I believe such drivers not properly trained in driving. Better attend refresher driving lessons. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear May 13, 2011 Share May 13, 2011 what manual cars do you guy drive? i'm thinking of changing to a manual as well... how much FC does a subaru impreza 1.6M gives? If budget not of concern, Punto Evo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear May 13, 2011 Share May 13, 2011 I'm an ex manual driver... used to Drive the AE86, EP80 and AT190... all manual.... until one day(2 months ago), I got caught in a jam from the state line of north Johor... and took 3.5 hours to get from Northern Johor...to Johor Bahru..... I couldnt walk.... cause of the BLOODY CRAMP on my left leg due to clutching in and out........ More likely cramp due to dehydration, not the manual gears. I can believe if you say fatigue, but not cramp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nzy Twincharged May 14, 2011 Share May 14, 2011 whahahah clutch i can understand... but brake and gas???? hahahahah I think those whose right leg get tired after getting stuck in a long jam with auto car must be those who don't want to give way. So every time the front car move he has to faster floor the accelerator then jam brake again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
