Through this video tutorial we will find out what are the 8 things not to do with a car that has a manual gearbox. First of all it is important to use the clutch gear well so you must not leave the car running at a red light, to avoid damaging the clutch, so you must leave the car in neutral. Do not leave your foot on the clutch pedal, as over time it will lead to clutch noise and failure, which has a high repair cost. Do not release the clutch too quickly, as it exerts excessive pressure on the engine and transmission and, above all, overheats the clutch which can cause damage for a long time. Keep your hand on the gearbox. Do not hold the clutch if the car is uphill, in fact if you have to stop while traveling an uphill stretch, make sure the car does not start to go backwards; many modern cars with manual transmission are equipped with hill assist which allows the car to remain stationary. Do not sink your foot on the accelerator at low engine revolutions, to avoid putting too much stress on the engine. Do not put into neutral when going downhill as it is dangerous as you could lose control of the car and overheat the brakes on a descent. Don't brake without using the clutch, as the car could lock up and then shut down.
