Rev it up to 4000 and let the clutch out as fast as you can. It's that easy.

Practicing manual today has been great fun, for first time really doing it I'm pretty good and kept the stalling to a decent minimum haha! If we're a size 8 shoe I'd have it by now, but 14s make it anatomically difficult haha!
