Snow 7,015 April 25, 2018 Share April 25, 2018 The only cars I have ever owned have been automatic but I can drive a manual. beans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormBlaze 992 April 25, 2018 Share April 25, 2018 can I just say that I find it super weird that manual is alien to a lot of you. I cant stand driving automatic. the gear stick doesnt go were I want it to!! where did 4th and 5th gear go???? WTF WHERES THE CLUTCH?!?! The standard over here in the UK is manual. everyone knows how to drive a manual car. Its forced on you in driving lessons. its just a very good thing to know how to do since its just easier and cheaper to buy older cars or if you want a classic car youre not gonna find an automatic one! 1 DeviantArt ~~~ YouTube ~~~ MLP Forum Store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphor 11,528 October 13, 2018 Share October 13, 2018 Not very well. The only vehicle I could practice with was my mother's Ford F-150. I hated it tho. The clutch pedal was hard to press and the engine would stall easily if I didn't give it enough gas. Strangely, I've had no issues whatsoever with manual transmissions in the forklifts I've driven over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Solace 5,132 December 1, 2018 Share December 1, 2018 Stick Shift? Oh god, no... It reminds me of that game... And yes, I have a manual Supra. Otherwise how am I gonna pull skids like a pro? 2 ~Twilight x Midnight~ Ask Midnight I'm not a bad pony... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partialgeek514 5,011 December 1, 2018 Share December 1, 2018 I tried stick once while I was learning to drive, but I've only had access to automatics since then. I suppose I probably could still drive stick shift without help if I had to, but it might not be pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Bolt 35,063 January 23, 2020 Share January 23, 2020 This might surprise you.....but nope, I cannot drive manual. I never had a manual transmission vehicle, let alone anyone to teach me. My dad always said he was gonna but never got around to it because he's always away at work. I'll learn someday...... ☆ My socials ☆ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My scooter is automatic. But my previous moped was manual, and there is something about having control of the acceleration, which is a priceless feeling! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparklingSquirrels 21,341 January 23, 2020 Share January 23, 2020 (edited) I still can't but I'd actually like to learn someday, especially if I get a car when I move to Europe (as they're almost all manuals, though we'd like an electric car so we'll see). I'll always prefer public transit over driving though, but it would be pretty cool to know how to do it. Maybe I'll make my boyfriend rent a car and teach me when I'm over there with him Edited January 23, 2020 by SparklingSwirls ֍֎֍֎ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluttershyfan94 5,742 May 30, 2020 Share May 30, 2020 Wouldn't have it any other way, driving a manual feels right and it is fun shifting also the feeling of getting into a new gear you know. That and I simply prefer it, I've driven manuals and automatics sure I enjoy driving an automatic especially if it's a truck. Mostly though I prefer cars being manual due to being more engaging while driving. Lot of cars today offer automatics with manual shifting options some of which are very nice. Yet I still always prefer the classic manual you know. 1 DA: http://fluttershyfan94.deviantart.com/ Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/Fluttershyfan94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixonTheAdversary 1,632 May 30, 2020 Share May 30, 2020 I've never driven a stick, but I've seen it done so much (as both of my parents drive stick), that I could do it if I ever needed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early Sunsets 2,106 May 30, 2020 Share May 30, 2020 In theory, yes. I know how to ride a manual motorcycle. A manual car is the same concept, just with different muscle memory.

It would help if we actually saw the gear box in action while working the clutch. It seems like you have to guess how gently you are to the gears otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
