how to get a manual licence from an automatic vic

So you've mastered the automatic and now want to tango with the stick shift in Victoria? Good on you. The process involves booking a driving test specifically for a manual vehicle. You'll need to ensure your learner permit allows you to drive a manual car, then pass the practical driving test in a manual transmission vehicle. Once you pass, your licence endorsement upgrades from automatic-only to manual, giving you the freedom to drive anything with a clutch.

Keep in mind, the test assesses your clutch control, gear changes, and overall smoothness—none of which you get to fake. Check the VicRoads website or ServiceCentral for the latest test booking info and requirements.
