I mean it’s a little more complicated than that and it’s intimidating to learn at first, but yeah basically boils down to that haha 😂 I miss driving stick. Learned in 2006 on a 1984(?) bmw 318i that a neighbor had rotting in their driveway. What a beautiful machine once I got it cleaned up. 100 horses, 1.8L engine, 5 speed, very unforgiving clutch (great way to learn). Miss that thing.

Those two steps are essential, but it’s the engaging the clutch that causes 90% of the issues for a new driver. That’s the tricky part.
