    What do you mean?

    What problems do you have? Do you just not know when to change, how to change, or what?

    Your question is way too vague - you'll need to be more precise for others to assist you.

    Ask your driving instructor to show you the palming method.. If he doesnt know what this is then get a new driving instructor.

    You are either two fast for 2nd gear or you are releasing the clutch too fast.

    It's usually caused by releasing the clutch too fast, be gentle and it'll go smoothly.
    As other have said, go out with your instructor and practice practice practice!
    Best of Luck

    Hello

    Sounds like you may be relaesing the clutch a little to quickly.......Don't be discouraged.....a little practice and it'll start becoming smoother......an idea would be to ask your instructor why it is happening and post the cause and I'm sure loads of people here will try help you with it.....

    Best of luck with the driving....

    Could be caused by releasing clutch too sharply or be going too fast for the gear in question. It will take practice, you'll get it eventually.
