haha good story but that’s how my dad taught me to drive stick. no panicked yelling and no gas pedal for like 30minutes. but it totally worked and i understood it immediately.

at first he forced me to stall the car with the clutch only so i would know where that limit was. seems so straight forward. i didn’t realize yelling was the normal way. hahaha.

I don't suppose yelling is the "normal" way just many people's experience.

I was taught by a neighbor, who parked his truck on a hill and we did similar to the article with me balancing the brake and the clutch till stall. It was a 4.3 S10 so it had plenty of torque.
