I‘m 15 and my dad‘s teaching me how to drive We only own a manual car so I‘m learning on it! We practice in a parking lot that‘s mostly flat but has some hills. We pretend there are stop signs in random places to practice stopping and going. Whenever i stop on a hill I can manage to stop fine just when I start going again I seem to ALWAYS stall it. My dad says I take my foot off the clutch too quickly. Is there any trick to avoid this?
Play with the clutch and find out how much clutch you can let out before you stall it. Then it is a matter of clutch and throttle coordination.
Let the car start to roll a little before you let out more clutch, roll a little faster let out more clutch, and so on
Hill starts can be hard for learners, I used to stall allot of the time. Keep handbrake on, slowly lift the clutch up until you find the biting point (the bit that pulls the car as you lift up the clutch) when you feel that try and keep it there and take the handbrake off (but not to fast) if the car isn't moving as you take the handbrake off lift the clutch up a little more. If you are on a steep hill and it starts rolling back, don't panic, just lift clutch up more but don't release more handbrake and don't.raise it, as you lift the clutch up more apply some accelerater to build up revs (try.keep revs on about 2k) this should stop you stalling so long as you don't lift the clutch up to fast. Now that you have the clutch on biting point, handbrake about halfway down and revs about 2k, lift clutch up more and release.handbrake but not to fast. It just takes a little getting used to, when you can do it, it becomes so easy and you wonder why found it hard in the 1st place ;).
