What's different about manual
Clutch control adds 5–10 hours to the typical learning curve, but unlocks every vehicle on the road — including most rental cars, vans and delivery vehicles. Our IG11 instructors break clutch work into bite-sized drills so you're not stalling at the Ripple Road roundabout.
