    for those who want to learn the ride in a manual diesel, it is even easier. Engage first gear, let the clutch come up and the car will start rolling on the overrun. Disengage the clutch again, shift to second and re-engage the clutch. By that time you may start thinking about pushing the throttle to further increase speed. All this of course if you are not in a real hurry

    Lets say im in 3rd gear, let off the gas, press the clutch, shift to 2, accelerate?
    It's all in the article I posted. Like Matra said, let the rev's drop to a dulling rate, get your left foot on the clutch, and pop the gearshift into a lower gear. You don't accelerate when dropping gears. To go in reverse, it's the same operation as putting it into first: hold the clutch with your left foot, put the gear in R, then while letting off the clutch, slowly depress the accelerator. (Don't drop the clutch too quick or add too much gas because you'll either jolt off to a start, or stall.)
