driving manual

[totoybato]

good luck sa iyo. naalala ko tuloy yung nakasabay ko sa emergency, di gaanong marunong mag drive, medyo na cut siya at nataranta, inararo yung mga tao naghihintay ng tricycle, kawawa yung ibang nasagi kasi mga wala ding katulad natin .

"kung halimba sa 3rd gear ako then kelangan ko mag stop..kelan ko ilalagay sa neutral yung gear? pag naka stop na ba or pag decelerating palang?"

Do not put your gear in neutral (or angel gear) when you are stopping or worse, when you are travelling downhill. You lose the benefit of engine brake for greater stopping power.

What you should do is to remove your foot from the accelerator, apply brake if necessary, then at the last few(~2sec) moments of stopping, when you've significantly slowed down, you press on the clutch and put the gear in neutral. Remember, the engine will not stop if you are still rolling.

Quite a challenge at first, but if you get used to it, comes out naturally.

or in other words, engine brakes. mahirap makasanayan yung nang neu-neutral kapag nagpe-preno. lalo't sa highways. walang stopping power, gumagaan pa yung sasakyan which makes it very difficult to maneuver-kasi walang traction.

pahingi naman ng tips pag gusto ko mag over take and tsaka sa stop and go.

pahingi naman ng tips pag gusto ko mag over take and tsaka sa stop and go.

Overtaking, just downshift and press on the gas. For example, nasa highway ka on 5th gear (overdrive), tapos you come across a relatively slow-moving bus na gusto mong lampasan. Downshift ka to 4th gear and then apak sa silinyador (syempre dapat gamitin ang passing lane). Pag nalampasan mo na yung bus, upshift ka uli to 5th para tipid sa gas.

Stop and go traffic, medyo mahirap kung galing ka sa automatic, pero not impossible. Just keep your left foot ready for the clutch (but don't ride it!), tsaka let the clutch engage gently (minimal to no gas pedal muna) kung gusto mong dahan-dahan lang ang abante. For prolonged stops, rest mo lang yung left foot mo sa sahig. Not sure if this applies to automatics as well, pero don't rest your right hand on the shift stick kung ayaw mong mapudpod agad yung mga gears.

practice ka muna bago mo tuluyan hiramin at ibiyahe yung m/t .. since marunong ka naman ng mag-drive .. same basic principles lang naman .. siguro a few hours practice .. pampalakas ng loob .. yung overtaking .. gawin mo nalang pag-medyo gamay mo na yung m/t driving .. baka mabitin ka pa maaksidente ka pa ..

jonski:

for stop and go traffic, make sure na kabisado mo na kung kelan kumakagat yung clutch without stalling the engine(the creeping effect). then slowly release, habang tinatapakan mo nang unti-unti yung accelerator.

for overtaking, yes downshift muna to the next lower gear, bago ka lumampas sa lulusutan mo. while at it, make sure you got ample of space sa nilalampasan mo...

happy motoring...

pag na sa 3rd gear ako pwede steady na ako sa gear na yon?

[ivramus]

Hi Jons - u need to adjust ur gear depende sa speed mo..nung mga first days ko rin magdrive, d ko napapansin na lagi ako either 2 lang or 3 pero i noticed ubos agad ang gas ko...so kung mabilis ung takbo, pwede mo na shift sa 4 or 5 basta bottomline imatch mo ung speed sa gear...

goodluck..

ivramus : Gravedig. Probably by now, jonski knows how to drive a manual vehicle.

[digitel]

Siguro magaling na siya mag drive ng manual ngayon...

Sabay nanaman tayo mag reply sa thread sir renzo ahahaha! Tapos parehas pa ahahaha sorry OT

[ivramus]

hahahaa...natawa rin ako...naisipan ko icheck yung date...ang tagal na pala...haha...mas matagal pa siya nagdridrive sakin ng manual...

piz...

[xander1925]

Basta tandaan mo.. masarap lang ang Manual pag hindi trapik...he he he

Mahigit 10 years na akong manual ang ni didrive... 1st time ko magka Matic... ayaw ko nang mag manual he he he

[ivramus]

mukha nga...nakakapagod magdrive ng manual lalo na traffic at mainit..

Tsikoteers,

Medyo naguguluhan ako sa thread na ito...

"NASA GOON SQUAD HQ po tayo"

Wala kase akong makita na mali at pwedeng ilahad...Mods, ano sa palagay nyo!!!

Yun nga rin pinagtataka ko sir baket napunta sa Goon Squad.

On Topic: Laki talaga advantage kung sa Manual ka muna nag start matuto then Automatic. 7 year na ko nag ddrive ng manual. Then for my first time, pina drive saken ng dad ko ang bagong kotse nya na matic. Akalain mo in just 15mins kabisado ko na .

I agree. I've been driving a manual for more than 10yrs and after we bought an automatic car eh sandali ko lang nakabisado. For me, sandali lang makapag-shift to automatic kapag nakapag-drive ka na ng manual. just to my cents.

james : Very true. Napakadali lang magshift from M/T - A/T. Pero mahirap magshift from A/T to M/T. Kaya it's best if you learn first how to drive a vehicle with a manual transmission.

I really don't know why is this in GS. And, since we have a thread similar to this, I ask for this thread to be locked.
