Just to add to what Ace is saying.........if you come to a complete stop and do not push in the clutch or put the gear stick in netural, your car will jump foward and cut out and you'll have to restart it. Learning manual is more difficult than auto but to me it's alot more fun.

Hmmmmmm and Blackmane is right a maual car is faster than an auto if they both have the same specs....that why rally drivers use manuals not only for the speed but becausee they give you more control of the car when your driving fast ( they use the compression that the manual car gives you when you shift to lower gears)
