What is how to drive manual?

Alright, here's some information about how to drive a manual transmission car in Markdown format with the linked terms as requested:

Driving a manual car, also known as driving a stick shift, might seem daunting at first, but with practice, it becomes second nature. Here's a breakdown of the key concepts:

• Understanding the Components: You need to know the function of the three key components: the Clutch, the Gear%20Stick, and the accelerator pedal. The clutch disengages the engine from the transmission, allowing you to shift gears. The gear stick allows you to select the desired gear. The accelerator controls the engine speed.

• Starting the Engine: Ensure the car is in neutral (the gear stick should move freely). Press the clutch pedal all the way to the floor. Turn the ignition key. Once the engine starts, slowly release the clutch.

• Finding the Friction Point: This is crucial for smooth starts and gear changes. With the engine running and your foot on the brake, slowly release the clutch pedal until you feel the engine start to bog down or the car starts to move slightly. This is the friction point.

• Starting from a Stop: Press the clutch all the way down and shift into first gear. Slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator. Find the friction point, and as you release the clutch further, gradually increase the accelerator pressure to prevent stalling.

• Shifting Gears (Upshifting): Accelerate until you reach the appropriate RPM for the next gear. Press the clutch all the way down, quickly move the gear stick to the next higher gear, and smoothly release the clutch while simultaneously applying gentle pressure to the accelerator.

• Shifting Gears (Downshifting): This is used for slowing down or gaining power. Reduce your speed. Press the clutch all the way down, move the gear stick to the next lower gear, and rev-match (briefly blip the accelerator to raise the engine RPM to match the wheel speed). Smoothly release the clutch.

• Stopping the Car: Depress the clutch fully to prevent stalling. Gently apply the brakes. As you come to a complete stop, shift into neutral.

• Avoiding Stalling: Stalling happens when the engine doesn't have enough power to maintain its speed, often because the clutch is released too quickly. If you stall, simply press the clutch all the way down and restart the engine.

• Practice Makes Perfect: Find an empty parking lot or quiet road to practice these techniques. The more you practice, the smoother your shifts will become. Be patient!

• Hill Starts: Starting on a hill requires coordination to prevent rolling backward. Use the handbrake or learn the "heel-toe" technique (more advanced). The Handbrake can be engaged to provide temporary assistance, giving you time to coordinate the clutch and accelerator.
