But, given the car didn't stall; driving is fairly simple at this point. Just like driving an automatic, depress the gas in order to gain speed. Once the car reaches the point where it seems to need a little more power, remove the foot from the gas pedal, push in the clutch, and switch the stick into the next gear. Let the clutch out while concurrently pressing the gas. Generally, the best time to shift the car up to the next level is at about 3000 rpm's. When it is time to slow down, the car can be stopped at any time by pressing the brakes. But, there will be a point where the car will want to be shifted to neutral in order to stop, otherwise it will stall and require to be restarted.
Driving a manual transmission is more about learning the principle of how to use the different parts. Once that is understood, getting the hang of it is just a matter of practicing in safe environments. It will not be long before driving the car is second nature, just like riding a bike.
