gear shifting cleared!
Yippee!!! but then again, got more things to remember...here it goes...
Moving off from a stop
11. clutch in, accelerate and maintain at around rpm 1.5
12. release to half-clutch, accelerate to around rpm 1.5 (coz' speed will drop as clutch is released)
13. maintain the clutch position for 3 seconds as the car starts to move
14. release clutch completely
Moving off from a slope
15. brake and clutch in
16. release to half-clutch but maintain the brake
17. as car moves to biting point, release the brake (car will start moving forward)
Stopping
18. always stop at 2nd gear, be it before a turning, at a traffic junction, at a stop sign, approaching a hump...etc
Changing down
19. when turning left or right, change down to 2nd gear after you moved into the correct lane - this is to prevent slowing down the traffic behind you

1. to move off from a stop, change to 1st gear, release clutch gradually until biting point. Step on the accelerator lightly if car starts vibrating. Then slowly release clutch.
2. always change up to 2nd gear after move off.
3. muz change up fast
4. approaching gradual bends, muz change down to 3rd gear
5. muz change down to 2nd gear when turning left/right
6. make use of engine brake to slow down, car will not stop even if u r not accelerating
7. to brake, step on the brake firmly, then slowly reduce pressure on it once u feel it slowing down
8. clutch in when u hear the rolling sound when braking; maintain the same pressure on the brake when clutching in
9. always step on clutch and brake at traffic junctions
10. die die also muz stop at 'STOP' sign, even if there's no cars or pedestrians around.
