My first driving experience was with a Fiat 124 Special back in 1987 with a manual transmission of course and no tacho to show RPM...

The technique taught by my father which I used was as follows:

Release the clutch slowly until the engine sound drops (dropping RPM) and the car starts to move. At that point, stop releasing the clutch and give it a bit more gas to move the car before releasing the clutch totally...

The trick is not to let go of the clutch totally before the car moves.. reducing engine sound (dropping RPM) is a sign that the car is starting to move... maintain pressure on the clutch and give more gas until the car moves.. pre-mature release of clutch before the car moves will kill the engine..

Good Luck !!

drive with your feeling, not your head... like my car, the gear release at 1/3, let's your left leg mesmerize it. you can do testing (with handbrake on), let go of your clutch a bit by bit.you will feel your car a bit 'moving forward.

but still, practices make perfect.

That is the problem. If you think of releasing the clutch, feel the car move, then think of accelerating, then you forget to steer... smile_blackeye.gif Driving must come natural, so more practice is best. My son who have pass his driving about 2 years already, I still get him to drive my manual car only. My wife's auto is still off limits..... smile_wink.gif

Yup, today rain and highway was wet. Over take cars from left since they were going slow on the right hogging the fast lane.
Then when on fast lane looking ahead, this cute little kembara like hero signal right and start to enter fast lane and I tap my brakes and can feels slight drift. My lights were on, and enjoy the drift....ha! ha! but was ready for this joker. Then maybe saw my lights, decide to cut back in, so I went off. Then in smaller road, I decided to test the tyres. While in the corner, I accelerated and the front wheels started spinning and can feel the drift...nabeh FWD can drift.....hahahahaha smile_big.gif

Since I came out of driving school in 2001, I was driving auto cars for six years then went back to driving manual in 2007 with my Waja.

The condition of your car's clutch also plays an important part especially if you're a beginner driver. My Waja's clutch bites quite hard and I rarely had problems killing its engine even in my early days driving it. In fact, I can even get the car moving with my foot on the brakes (only in 1st and Rev).

Some test cars I've gotten hold of have clutches that are quite tricky to operate - the Toyota Vios is one of them. In my three days with that car, I killed its engine more often than I did with my Waja in four years.

Don't be de-motivated. Even seasoned drivers can 'mati engine' once in a while.
