Re: Questions about driving stick shift- 4 speed on floor

Driving a stick is nearly a lost art. All suggestions above are good and accurate. Maaany years ago I taught my wife to drive. I had a mustang 4 speed, after our first trip out---I brought her home and bought two large sponges. I told her that when one sponge was fully depressed, the other had to be full size----and your feet have to work together--left down slowly as right comes up (off the gas)---then as left comes up--ease slowly down with right again. Everything should be fluid movements and not jerky.

Practice, practice, practice-------it never came easy---just training your reflexes.

Im building my project truck now with a car 4 speed----mainly to be able to teach my grandson how to drive a stick. By the time he gets the truck, for sure a stick will be something of the past.
