Driving a manual transmission, are there different types?
The first time I ever drove a manual transmission was on a ford f1000 in Brazil. It was probably a late 80's model or something. I remember I had to slowly take my foot off the clutch and at the same time push in on the gas or it would die. I never got the hang of it. My dad has a farm and has a dodge 3500 to pull everything and its also a stick but with this one you can just let your foot all the way off the clutch then press on the gas. Its alot easier and I can drive it everywhere with out any problems. I have also driven a couple semi truck's and they were like the dodge. I was just wondering if most manuals were like the old ford where you had to do it simultaneously or just let off the clutch competently then press the gas.
There are different types in terms of the number of gears, and location of reverse. There used to be vehicles with the shift not he steering column; particularly in trucks.
Clutches vary greatly from vehicle to vehicle. Some have a lot of travel some not so much. They aren't different types, in that they functionality is the same, but the characteristics in terms of that function vary.
- Why do car companies sell in different countries under different names? Why are companies like Chevrolet selling their cars under names like Holden in Australia? I'm not sure if Chevrolet sells in Australia but I do think they do. If they already sell in Australia, what's the point of selling the same thing under Holden? Another example is some Ford cars are sold under Lincoln, and Chevrolet sells the same thing under GMC. Buick and Opel? What's with this?

- Can you get a 2015 ford mustang and Chevy camaro in automatic transmission instead of manual transmission? Hi, I'm thinking about buying a 2015 ford mustang or Chevy camaro. Both of the cars come in manual transmission! Is it possible to get it in automatic transmission instead? Can I just ask the dealer (dealership) to give me the car with automatic transmission or do I have to change it myself?
- Listed as driving an ATV on my speeding ticket when I was driving a Truck? I live in Minnesota and received a speeding ticket yesterday. When I looked it over it said the vehicle was an ATV. I was driving a Ford Truck. Is this how they list all trucks on tickets or did the officer make a mistake. The citation was correct just not the type of vehicle.
