I’m practicing for my driving licence and I’m going to driving school, just out of curiosity though I’ve looking on YouTube how to start and run a car and I’ve seen at least 3 different methods, I dunno which one is the correct. Things like the order when you release a pedal or when you need to press the clutch keep switching…

    push down clutch pedal
    put car in fifth gear
    start the engine
    push down gas pedal until you hit the rev limiter
    slowly release the clutch until it smells right

      This right here it the proper way. Another trick is to wrap some bacon around your bell housing. When you can hear the bacon sizzle then you know you’re doing it right. The grease from the bacon also helps keep the clutch disk nice and lubricated.
