Re: help dowshift 3rd to 2nd
Ramman, Starting from 3rd gear:
1. Push the clutch pedal to the floor
2. Shift in to neutral
3. Let the clutch pedal out (all the way up)
4. Rev the engine to the rpm that 2nd gear will need (this is where experience is needed)
5. Push the clutch pedal to the floor again
6. Put the transmission in 2nd
7. Let out the clutch pedal
Same procedure for going from 2nd to 1st.
Unless you need the engine to help you slow down going down a grade, down shifting is not normally needed. In town driving you just pull up to a stop and shift from third into first (with the clutch pedal to the floor as normal).

Forget the brakes, they really don't work.
The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk.

Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
