All about Manual

Anyone driving Manual vehicle, share with us here:)
As i'm currently learning how to drive Manual, so anyone can give me some advise?
When starting of vehicle, clutch in, put to first gear, then depress accelerator pedal, clutch pedal should relase half of it in order to start to car is it? -
yes
that's called the
BITING POINT
-
while depressing the acc pedal, slowly release the clutch.
you dont depress the acc pedal first then release the cluth. (although if like that the car still will move, but it'll make alot of noise)
do it together.
-
and if you dont release the clutch well, the car will jerk/vibrate.
but to get the car moving, i'm okay, but once in a while, when i release the clutch WITHOUT depressing the acc pedal while up-ing gears, the car tend to jerk.

You should know if you are starting off on a flat surface or on a slope..
If flat surface, it is correct to clutch in, put to gear 1 and then slowly depress the accelerator and then slowly release half clutch until it reaches the biting point, only then will your car will start to move forward. Let it continue for 1-2 seconds, then slowly releases the rest of the clutch and then accelerate as per normal..
Until it reaches around 10km, then clutch in and change to gear 2 and continue as usual. Only when you changed to gear 4, then can you throw clutch, which means there is literally no need for you to hold it at biting point. You can simply just clutch in and change to gear 4, then release clutch instead of holding it at biting point. You can do the same for gear 5 as well, if you ever reach that high a gear.
But if you are moving off a slope, remember to apply handbrake first before doing what you need to do. This is to prevent your vehicle from rolling backwards. Otherwise, you need to be damn fast in your actions and half clutch your vehicle therefore your vehicle is stationary at that point without moving forward or rolling backwards, but if your half clutch skill sucks and either under clutch or over clutch, then your vehicle will roll backwards. For beginners its better to use handbrake method. Though its tedious, but its safer.
When buy vehicle, buy auto la. Even though manual can go faster, but auto is easier to manipulate. Unless its because of work, dont go manual if you really buay zai.

"Until it reaches around 10km, then clutch in and change to gear 2 and continue as usual"
You say clutch in and change to gear 2, don't need release the accelerator pedal?
As for moving slope, any method to react fast?
Any advise, please let me know:) Thanks! -

slope, for beginners like us, pull handbrake, find biting point, once found, bring down handbrake and you will find the car moving forward. just that, simple

ar-ga ar-ga release the clutch to half, then dont release handbrake at one go, slowly put it down then adjust the clutch to suit the situation you're in.
