A small investment that can save you thousand$

       In 2008, I decided to write this book because I felt there was a need for clear and accurate information on how to drive standard. There's so much misinformation floating about (especially online) that very few drivers end up doing it correctly. This usually results in more wear and tear, higher fuel consumption, and lack of control in some situations. Most also perform many more actions than necessary; this tends to make driving a stick shift somewhat cumbersome. And few drivers are aware that, because cars have evolved over the years, some old-fashioned practices are totally inappropriate when driving modern vehicles.


       Know your car - Drive it well. If you're buying a new car, this is the perfect tool to help you "tune up" your driving and help protect your investment. If you would like to "understand" your car better; if you want the peace of mind of knowing you're doing it right, if you want to save gas and have better control in all conditions, then this is for you. And if you're a driving enthusiast, you will also learn how to rev-match your shifts, "double-clutch", toe-and-toe, and more...


       This booklet is also for ProShift clients. It's impossible to cover everything in a few lessons; so once you have a good handle on the fundamentals, you can use it as a "memory jogger" when you practice, and as a guide to continue to improve and avoid slipping into "bad habits".
