Hey everyone,
I just recently leased the 2016 Honda Civic LX model 6MT! I have never driven a manual transmission car before but I have 10+ years of motorcycle experience so I'm familiar with how a clutch works. I was just wondering if you guys have any tips and tricks to driving a manual. I have about 400 km on it already and i think I'm pretty smooth when I shift at 3000 but if I want to accelerate quickly and run through the gears I'm a little more choppy. Also i cant seem to get the hang of downshifting and using the engine breaking unless i have a lot or room to rev match and change gears.
Please send me any tips you may have from being in my shoes!
