Apparently, learning a standard is "difficult" but it just took me three tries to figure out the pressures and positions to get into first.

OH, a *manual* transmission.

Getting it there isn't terribly difficult, sure - it's just repeating it over and over and over and over, without error, that is tricky. Should take a month or two for most of the stalling to go away.

The stalling went away within a half hour... >_> I just memorized the pressure to put on the gas and got a feel for how to loosen the clutch. It's pretty simple, really.

It really is... People psych themselves out on it...

Just have to remember that in first gear you just have to ride the clutch to keep it from stalling.

Well, no... Riding the clutch will burn it out.

Well, not sure if I'm saying it right. In first gear you have to go back to the clutch whenever you need to stop. You hit the clutch, then hit the brakes, then start it like you do from stopped.

Ah, okay... You weren't saying it right...
Riding the clutch is when you keep your foot on the clutch pedal.

What's tricky is learning how to shift an unsynchronized transmission...

The idea is that you fix the transmission before you try to drive it broken?

Truck transmissions are unsynchronized by design.

Ah.

Now I remember what I meant. When I was first starting to drive my car, I was trying to jump off of the clutch because I didn't think I could ride it to get it started. Riding the clutch when you're just coming into 1st and getting moving is ok, rather than hitting the clutch in third.

Have you ever been on a mostly religious forum?
Just to see what it would be like to have everyone against you instead of vice versa?

No, though the thought is tempting...
I figured it would just be more people for me to shoot down.

Hmm I bet some people here who claim to be Atheists!

In actuality are just going with the flow.

We should do it.

I'll wonder by myself then...... the JforJ chatroom is never open.... and for exposition I've been kicked off too many times

Good evening, NSG. I have a feeling what we all need tonight is Clippy the Paperclip.

Ovens cannot kill me!

The only way to subdue me is by trapping me within a triangle. I will then be required to tell you the secrets of the universe.

Yeah, yeah, 42 we all read the book.

Also the Magen David is two Triangles!
