Follow These Steps to Drive a Stick Shift
- Press the clutch all the way to the floor board with your left foot (the gear shifter must be in the neutral position).
2)Turn the ignition key. If you are certain that the car is in neutral, you can remove your foot from the clutch. Ensure that the parking or emergency brake is not in use.
-
Press the brake, or the center pedal, with your right foot.
-
Position the gear shifter so that the transmission is in the first gear. 5)Remove your right foot from the brake pedal. If you are on a flat surface, the vehicle should move very little.
6)Slowly begin to place less pressure on the clutch with your left foot. Depending on the vehicle, you may feel it begin to slowly roll forward.
-
As you gently release the clutch, begin to press the accelerator very delicately with your right foot.
-
Once you have released the clutch completely, you should now only be pressing the accelerator with your right foot. Congratulations — you’re driving in first gear. Continue to build speed until you feel that you need to shift into second gear.

How do you get the car to go into gear even when you press on the brake and it still doesn't go into gear?
When you press the brake, a switch on the back of the pedal activates a solenoid in the shift console that allows you to move the shift lever out of park. If the switch or solenoid fails, you won't be able to shift out of park. There is a bypass for this. You can stick a screwdriver in the side of the console to manually move the solenoid so that you can shift it. You will have to do this every time you shift out of park until you fix the problem. The owners manual covers it in more detail.
