The one requirement I had when I was looking for a car the second time around? It had to have a manual transmission. Everyone does. But that first time I figured out what I was doing behind the wheel and how to do it consistently was a proud one. The boyfriend I mentioned earlier is now my husband, and we have a toddler.

This is a delicate motion. Do not accelerate your vehicle excessively. Remember that first gear is only designed for speeds up to about fifteen miles per hour. At some point, you will have released the clutch completely and will only be pressing the accelerator with your right foot.
You will be driving in first gear. Continue to build speed until you feel that you need to shift into second gear. As the car reaches a new speed bracket you need to change the gear up one.
Take your right foot off of the accelerator while simultaneously activating the clutch with your left foot. Your car will continue to roll. Move the gear shifter into second gear.
Release the clutch as you begin to apply the accelerator again. Repeat this process to continue to build speed. When decreasing speed and downshifting, the process is the same as above for accelerating but going from a higher gear to a lower gear.
You may experience higher revs when downshifting, so make sure to use more of the accelerator pedal. If you do, it will be a little bit. Set the car into reverse when at a complete stop, and slowly let out the clutch with your other foot on the brake to control the car.
You will also want to put the car into gear, not neutral, that way you have both the emergency brake and the gears keeping your car from moving or rolling. This part should feel familiar! Place your key into the ignition and turn. Remember, you need to be in neutral and your left foot should be on the clutch and right foot on the brake.
Using your left foot, push down on the clutch and move the gearshift to first gear, which is typically located in the upper left. To get started, lift your right foot off the brake. Carefully and slowly ease off the clutch by not putting so much pressure with your left foot on the clutch. As you ease off the clutch slowly, begin to transition to accelerating forward by placing your right foot down on the gas pedal. Be careful with this maneuver as it can be a delicate transition. Start gently with the gas.
Put the gearshift into second gear, release your left foot from the clutch, while putting your right foot back onto the accelerator. As you increase your speed but not too much, too fast! In order to stop driving stick, you need to place your left foot on the clutch and move the gearshift into the neutral position.
