Practice finding the 'biting point' - that point where your foot on the clutch is no longer controlling, but the gears have kicked in and are taking the vehicle forward. It's fun to sit in a car park and play with it, rolling backwards and forwards... makes people think you're up to something! Then practice on an incline, keeping the handbrake on until you feel the bite, then letting the brake, off carefully, making sure you still sit on that 'biting point'. Be gentle in all things. The bite should hold you stationary whilst you let off the brake and you should be able to gently pull away even up the steepest hill. Steeper hills may need a little more pressure on the accelerator (gas) pedal to get moving. Make sure there are no obstructions behind you when you practice this on a hill.....!

Once you've got this 'biting point' and can find it instinctively, it makes manual driving a lot easier.

Havefun and take it easy!
