    A tip for this: the accelerator is less important, slowly release the clutch until you feel the car vibrating, then you can release the brakes and the car will not move, or start moving slowly, then you can start accelerating and releasing the rest of the clutch.

        Use the handbrake. At least that’s how I learned it. Back when the handbrake was a lever connected by a steel cable to the break pads. Man I’m old.

          Oh yeah I hated the electronic handbrake when learning to drive and start uphill. I just never knew when it was going to release.

        You try not to park on hills haha. But the concept is the same you just get better/quicker at doing it. When you’re letting off the clutch, the engine is connected to the wheels. Its enough to not need the brakes so you give it a bit more gas to get over the resistance of trying to go up a hill versus flat ground.

        But some manuals will “hold” the brakes for a few seconds after you let off the brake pedal.

        Also, everyone who drives manual stalls. You just laugh at how dumb you are and try again.
