re: Simple animation showing how a clutch works

Do you have access to a standard? If so, a school parking lot in the summer. That's where I learned. But I was also 15 at the time.

I haven't driven a new manual. My third car is a 30 year old BMW I rebuilt myself. I'll have to try a new manual one of these days.

The car we had for drivers ed was a three on the tree. There was a steep hill that the instructor would take us to and he would put a traffic cone behind the rear bumper. You had to heel and toe it 3X without knocking the cone over before you could pass his class. Those poor cars took a beating.

I would love to show this to my kids. They would freak the frick out.
