When you park or leave your vehicle:
ANSWER: Make sure it is low or reverse gear with parking brake set
Explain the purpose of the clutch.
To interrupt the connection between the engine and the transmission. The clutch disengages the connection between the engine and transmission to allow gear changes. To connect the rotating engine shaft to the gears in the transmission.
Explain the purpose of (a) the forward gears and (b) neutral gear.
Forward gears- used to match the vehicle's speed for optimum engine performance and to maximize fuel mileage. (Typically 5-6 forward gears). To provide range of power and speed.
Neutral gear- (Not in gear). The engine is not connected to the drive shaft. Is used when you start the engine or when the car is stopped with the engine running. A vehicle in neutral rolls easily

Why should a driver never leave his/her foot on the clutch pedal after having shifted gears when the vehicle is in motion?
Such a habit, called "riding the clutch," rapidly wears the clutch surface and causes slippage. Rest your left foot on the "dead pedal" to the left of the clutch pedal until it is time to shift again.
Explain the process of securing a manual transmission vehicle.
* Come to a complete stop with wheels straight or turned away from curb
* Keep clutch pedal depressed
* Shift to first gear or reverse as appropriate
* Set parking brake
* Turn off all accessories and lights
* Make sure windows are closed
* Turn off ignition and remove the key
* Check mirrors/blind spots over your shoulder for traffic
* Exit with keys in your hands
* Lock your doors
Outline the basic procedure for stopping a vehicle that is going more than 30 mph
