I am going uphill and stop, when I start moving, the car always roll back.

Is there any technique to start without rolling back?

 

is this your first manual? that is normal you will get good at it eventually.


If I ever need help taking off in a very steep slope I pull up on the hand brake so that i can take my foot off the brake and onto the clutch and get it to the point at where it grips.

try this in a flat parking lot and you will see you can feel the car shift when the clutch engages, then u simply let off the hand brake and go on your merry way. i hope this helps.

 

This is why you should all start off with manual driving before going off to autos :P.

But yeah it's normal, because you haven't got the "biting point" so the cogs/gears aren't engage which it needs to in order to move the wheels.

Follow Berto's tips above, that helps on a hill, if you feel the car is going to stall, apply a little bit more gas.

Use a handbrake start on all hills until you are confident of your clutch control, then you can do it on mild slopes just with the break.

 

I agree with the hand brake method.

 

I do the handbrake method if I know I'm going to be stopped for a while. If I stop at a light on a steep hill, and I know it's about to turn green, I'll just ride on the gas and clutch right at the bite point until its time to take off.

 

its even scarier when its rainning.. i dunno about snow since it doesnt snow in Austin..

 

Use the e brake to hold until you get the clutch engaged,

 

would to give you advice , but i live on flat land

 

Subaru has the neatest thing for this situation. My old 82 Subaru had a device called a hill holder. There was a cable from the clutch lever beside the clutch cable. My clutch was slipping and I went to adjust it and found it. It went to the brake system where it had a ball in it that rolled back over a hole in the brake valves. If your car was at an uphill angle this ball would hold brake pressure on two wheels, one in front and one in back on the opposite side, as long as you held the clutch pedal down. You could put your foot on the accelerator and give it some gas while holding the clutch in without the car rolling back. I have been baffled as to why other or all manual shift vehicles don't have this simple device. Anyone living in San Francisco should drive a Subaru just for that. It would have been great for hillclimbing in a 4wd Subaru.
