QuestionIn Method 3, Step 3, where it says to press on the accelerator and slowly release the clutch, does that mean to put the accelerator pedal right to the floor?Community AnswerNo. Press it more than you would when starting off on a flat surface. If the hill is steeper or there is more load in the car, you may need to press it more. Generally around 2,000 to 3,000 RPM on the tachometer is good.

QuestionHow do I do a hill start without using a handbrake?Community AnswerThis is possible, but more risky. You now rely on the clutch to act as the handbrake. This means that timing clutch throttle and brake gets critical or you probably run downhill. The only way to master this is to practice in a safe location. Note that your clutch does not 'like' this solution. It will wear out more quickly. Fitting a new clutch is a lot more expensive than fitting new brake pads!
