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
