Using the Clutch
Your Hyundai's manual transaxle has
a conventional shift pattern. This shift
pattern is imprinted on the shift knob.
The transaxle is fully synchronized in
all forward gears so shifting to either a
higher or a lower gear is easily accom-
plished.
st
The clutch should  be pressed all the
way to  the floor before  shifting, then
released  slowly.   The  clutch   pedal
should always be  used after fully  re-
turning to the original position. Do not
rest your foot on the clutch pedal while
driving. This can  cause unnecessary
