Civic EG

Um I barely learned how to drive stick shift a lil bit ago. Sometimes when i shift, like the engine makes a sound like its forcing itself to shift. At what RPM should I shift so it does it smoothly? I do it like at 3k-4k. Thanks!

can you be a little more spacific

Ok sometimes when I shift , the engine makes a sound like as if I'm not shifting at the right time. and it doesn't shift smoothly. I shift up at like 3k -4k rpm. Is that more clear? Sorry if not.

you mean when you let out the clutch the car kind of jurks ?

Yeah exactly. Am I shifting wrong or what? Shifting too late? Too early? It doesn't happen all the time though.

na your letin out the clutch to fast . i used to do the same thing cuz I went from drivin a ef cable clutch to a eg hydraulic clutch. on the cable on you can let it out fast but you cant on the hydraulic ones cuz its way more sensitive. so just practice letin off the pedal easyer

Alright thanks man. I appreciate it. Maybe it was a stupid question to ask but sorry I'm new to this stick shift thing and I'm only 16 and still learning

your welcome we all star somewhere good luck dont let it out to slow you ride the clutch and burn it

Better to launch that to sit there try to ease off burning your clutch. Funny sweet smell = BAD

Any advice\tip when going uphill like stopping and going cuz there's a lot of traffic at this one hill by my school.

Sure thing. When stopped. Pull the E-brake. Then you wont have to worry about going from your brake to gas and rolling.

1.) full stop. right foot is on brake.
2.) pull E-brake. Move right foot from brake to gas.
3.) when the light changes let the clutch out, give it gas , and release the e-brake.

This is actually the same thing drag racers do.

Oh thanks for the advice man. I'm barely learning so I need all I can get

there are tons of youtube videos too. Try there and see what comes up
