First only should ever be used to get to second asap, from second I accelerate to skip to 4 or 5th gear usually

Skipping from first is pretty retarded

The benefit is in accelerating quickly to the intended speed, which in return does save fuel.

Skipping gears isn't a secret. I drive a 10spd semi and you'd never start in anything lower than 3 unless you're starting something REALLY heavy like a tank uphill. My usual pattern is 3 inside a yard then 4 > 6 on the street then 8 -> 9 on open highway. If I'm driving a tank drop it a gear and if I'm empty I go full speed.

is this what americans see when they get in a manual shift car?

Being unable to properly drive with manual transmissions is one of my biggest issues in life. And I'm not an amerimutt, it's an actual problem here since 80% of cars around me are manual, if I need to drive someone else's car in an emergency I'm fucked.
I passed my driving test with a manual car like everyone else, but it's because I learned how to handle that specific car's transmission and literally nothing else. Put me in any other car and I'll stall it immediately.

>>714869283
Diesels are hard to stall, for gas you can just rev it a bit until you get a feeling for it.
It's not that hard anon, but ask a friend/family member to practice if you want to.

>>714868564
india drives on the left thus driving left BAD

the funniest thing about modern petrol engines is that due to how they're built they can't be ecological, but somehow the general populace got duped into thinking they are and old diesels are super bad

>>714867746
It’s not their fault if the other driver can’t drive and crashes into them, leaving them disabled. That’s the entire point of automotive cars.

>>714869920
>how they're built they can't be ecological
The moment we discover a (mass-manufacturable) material better than aluminium, gasoline engine efficiency will rocket through the roof.

>>714869781
You lift the clutch until you feel it "catch" and then you ease it the rest of the way while applying gas appropriately.

The best way is to listen to the engine.
For starters you can watch the RPM-counter while paying attention to the engine sound. You want around 2k RPM.

The "catch"-point varies from car to car, so that'll be the only issue, but as you git gud at using the clutch it shouldn't be any problem.

A loud continual noise and the gear is too low.

i live in a canadian province where the best rated cars straight off the lot with 4km on the odometer will lack a block heater and the cruise control won't work.

i flat out cannot comprehend buying a new/fancy car. just more shit to stop working and need parts from another country to be shipped over in 4 weeks. all you are doing is being a beta tester, seeing if the car is worth being someone else's used car or if it has to be traded in to a dealership at a huge loss because nobody would ever buy it knowing what issues it has.
my best car was my first, the 70's cadillac i got for $500 as a teen. every vehicle since has been progressively newer and progressively less reliable. i will never forgive obama.

>>714870320
I assume that this is a shifter of a heavy-duty vehicle and skipping gears there would either fuck the internals or stop you outright due to its sheer weight

>>714870582
as with everything, it depends
if you're going downhill and go from 2nd to 4th i think it's perfectly reasonable, there's bery little stress on the engine and the transmission
uphill, not so much

>>714870226
I've driven a Ford Fusion 2006 stick shift my entire life, gifted to me by my dad. It outright refuses to die, despite my continued abuse towards it. If/when it does I'll probably just buy an old hillux. I don't understand people who buy nice cars. Driving fast on a public road is just cringe. If I want to go fast I'll play racing games.

>>714870226

>>714870624
my car is 25yo with 360k km. i think the engine is finally settling itself into optimal operation

>>714870619
Yes, and I skip my gears one at a time, usually two from the back before one from the front where the pedals are (I don't know the proper names). I was told that was how you're supposed to do it to not fuck up the gears so I thought it was the same with anything that has a gearbox

>>714869109
I drove trucks and farming heavy machines and i NEVER seen something this stupid. Even mechanical speaking, it has no sense. The half gears are switched with one or two separate buttons and the position of the halves is always on the gear. What the fuck is that thing?

My clio got smashed in a bad car accident (RIP) and I have to get a new car with the insurance money, what are some similar cars that I should check out?

Buddy you could roll coal for 10 hours a day for the rest of your life and you wouldn't reach 1% of the pollution bp has already caused.

>>714867401
Yes you accelerate faster, but no it doesn't save you fuel. The whole point of having multiple gears is to make the engine more effecient. So how do you even end up thinking that skipping effeciency would somehow net you more fuel? You are spending more time on less fuel effecient rpms.

From some other site:
>It’s a Dana Spicer T-Series 20-Speed Transmission. It’s found in a number of heavy trucks from the 1960’s forward.

>It’s a joke related to old versions of semis/18 wheelers/tractor trailers based on them having two transmissions at once. It was born back when most transmissions were only 4 gears back in the 60s-70s, so instead of making one transmission that had enough gears for the proper acceleration of the weight of a typical semi, they had one 4-gear transmission that fed into a second transmission that also had 4 gears, so the semi truck driver had to shift two transmissions to get along on his way.

basically being a semi truck driver in the 60s must have been confusing as fuck.

>>714869283
I practiced and passed in a car that would judder if I was close to stalling, but my current car gives no indication. I stalled at some lights yesterday and didn’t realise for about 10 seconds

>>automatic sensors have been more efficient than any human technique for decades
Automatic sensors can't drive the car better than you can because you're sitting in the driver's seat. You see what conditions the car is driving on. It's just guessing based on engine RPM and efficiency, but that's not as good as you could ever use the car. It's only tolerable if you barely know how to drive a car.

There's a reason almost every shitbox uses automatic and that's generally because most people don't know how to drive their own cars and aren't skilled enough to understand the differences anyway.

>>714867034 (OP)
Don't do that, it creates mustard gas

>>714872357
Even going from 2nd to 4th is less fuel effecient than just 2 -> 3 -> 4, unless you're bad at switching gears.

I have my driver license test tomorrow, I feel like I'm gonna do some stupid fucking mistake.

Even regular toyota corollas can be driven more efficiently by even student drivers with just a week of practice with a stick.
It's also better on the engine and makes the transmission last longer.

>>714872481

>>714872558
Yes you accelerate faster, but use more fuel. Even without looking up research you can try to think it logically: to go fast you need to use more energy, if you go fast faster then you need more energy, and you are spending time on gears that require more energy to reach the same speeds.

>>714872481
you will make a mistake but you're allowed to make a few of them, maybe because the proctor is anal about if you physically turned your head enough. Just like, dont hit the curb when parking and you're good.

I have no idea how to drive automatic. The stick shift wants to teach me the alphabet but I only know how to count to 5.

>Which One Is Good For the Hills?
>When it comes to hill climbing, it depends on who’s driving. An experienced driver with a manual transmission car will say it’s the better option. This is because you have more control over the engine and can adjust your speed as necessary by shifting gears according to what you’re seeing. An automatic transmission is a favorite on steep slopes for those who are not comfortable thinking about the clutch, brakes, and gas pedals in an instant – which happens with the manual transmission. You can simply press the gas and rely on the automatic gear shifting to choose the right gear for you.
>Both manual and automatic transmissions have their own benefits when it comes to fuel efficiency. With a manual transmission, you are in complete control of your car, so you can shift gears up or down according to your speed. This allows you to better adjust the car’s engine power, resulting in more fuel-efficient driving. On the other, an automatic transmission won’t always select the most fuel-efficient gear – that is, where it selects a higher gear than necessary to avoid overworking the engine and wasting fuel.
Of course you would just know this if you had the option of driving both.

>Enter car
>See this instead of a steering wheel
Would you be better at driving if that was the case?
Doesn't have to be this specific gamepad, just one in general.
