Anyone else find it difficult driving auto after learning on a manual gearbox?

I drove one for first time recently and thought it'd be ez and tbf for the urban driving parts it was, fricking hate shifting from first to second and back to first in 30 sec. Also probably saved me on some really steep climbs, I've never driven on roads that narrow and steep before, I'd probably have gone all 20-30km like that on first gear. But instinctually I was treating the brake like the clutch which when combined with even light touch on accelerator would make the car jerk violently. Finally decided to use my right foot for both to avoid that but braking still felt a lot rougher without clutch and my leg still aches two days later.

you're supposed to pivot your right foot between the accelerator and brake, and rest your left foot on the pad

Clutch, I press both clutch and brake to slow down so that's what I kept doing.

i've only used the left foot for the clutch so that would be so awkward lol

the idea is to use the right foot for both so you dont brake and accelerate at the same time? :marseyhmm: the way you're doing it sounds like you'll need a lot more coordination

Nope, took me 15 mins max to get used to it. I used to drive an 800 then swift, but then I moved to the us and drive my first auto, in 15mins I got used to it. Even now I have no problems driving manual even after driving auto for years. Using two feet in auto is something I never even experienced

went through a flooded underpass. the truck guys were afraid to do it, multiple splendors bricked, thar guy panicking due to the water level & waves

felt like a river crossing in ladakh

immediately after that there was an acute jam. vehicles crawling with heavy downpour. i climbed through a ramp on the sidewalk. another poor champ decided to follow my tracks. after a while there was a steep cliff end to the sidewalk. i hopped off brazenly and the poor guy was stuck

it's always the skill issue
