. How to change gear in a manual vehicle

19/09/2026

If you struggle with gear selection when driving, try this tip:

PRACTICE IN A STATIONARY/PARKED VEHICLE, NO IGNITION KEY NECESSARY. It's all about developing muscle memory.
(DON'T BE AFRAID TO USE THE CLUTCH AT THE SAME TIME IT WILL NOT DAMAGE THE CAR.

WHEN YOU PRACTICE DO NOT LOOK AT THE GEAR STICK. INSTEAD FORCE YOURSELF TO LOOK STRAIGHT AHEAD.

Selecting 1st or 2nd gear:

1. LEFT hand, thumb facing DOWN towards the floor.

2. Using the palm of your hand PUSH the gear stick away from you.

3. Guide the gear stick into position, up for 1st, down for 2nd.

Selecting 3rd and 4th gear:

3rd & 4th gear sit opposite neutral. Manual car gear sticks are spring loaded.

1. Changing from 2nd to 3rd requires minimal effort. Simply move the gear from 2nd, allow it to spring to neutral, then guide it forward.

2. 3rd to 4th simply a matter of guiding the gear stick down through neutral into 4th.

5th & 6th (if you have a 6th gear):

1. LEFT hand, thumb facing UP,

2. Using palm of hand PULL the gear stick towards you.

3. Guide the gear stick into position, up for 5th, down for 6th.

Try not to rush this process at first, speed and efficiency will come with practice as your muscle memory grows.

IF YOU FIND THIS USEFUL, SEND ME A LIKE OR COMMENT. YOU WILL BE SURPRISED HOW QUICKLY YOU GET THE HANG OF IT.

Happy Driving 🚗
