Driving a manual-transmission car well is an art. The fluid and precisely synchronized movements between hand and foot that a professional driver displays were not born overnight. Just as everything in life, to drive like a pro requires practice. No amount of written instruction will ever be able to take the place of actual personal experience, but for those who are not looking to conquer race circuits, here is a simple set of instructions on how to drive a ‘stick shift’.

1) Get to know the controls – the key to driving well is to understand how the components of what you are driving work. The main parts of a standard transmission are the clutch and the gearshift lever. Most people know that to change gears, you have to press in the clutch, and to drive, you must let out the clutch. However, there is much more to the internal components of your transmission that you may not know, but will help you be a better driver.
