Auto to Manual Licence Upgrade
Getting an unrestricted licence to drive both manual and automatic.
More Info
There are good reasons why you would need manual upgrade. The most common one is employment requirements. The full – C – driver licence removes the restrictions.
Before you may start your manual driving practice, you have to be a holder of a C-A class licence. You are not required a learner’s permit; however, while learning to drive a manual car, you must display L plates and be accompanied by an approved supervisor.
With the upgrade, you don’t have to pass a theory test; however, you will have to pass a practical driving assessment, where you will be under the same scrutiny regarding road rules as you were on the day you passed your automatic test.

See our driving lesson package prices for better discernment.
How long does it take to learn manual?
The best approach is to book with us your manual driving lesson hours in consecutive days because continuity will speed the learning curve.
The learners with an automatic driving licence may count with lesser hours than brand new students.
At Dovetail Driving, we care equally for both types of students and dedicate our professional conduct wholeheartedly to prepare them for the best outcome and passing the manual driving test.
Should I learn auto or manual driving?
An automatic vehicle is easier to learn in – all you need to do is put your car in ‘D’ for ‘drive’, and off you go. Manual cars will usually have up to five gears, and you’ll need to make sure you’re in the right gear for the speed and road conditions you are driving in.
What is the fastest way to learn to drive a manual car?
The secret to learning how to drive a manual car is understanding the clutch’s friction point and how the speed of the car is related to the gears.
This always brings a smile of amazement to students’ faces. 😊
Can you drive a manual car with an automatic licence?
In WA, if your license is restricted to automatics, you cannot drive a manual until you pass a practical driving assessment in a manual. If you drive a manual with an auto restricted licence, it’s effectively driving without a licence. More on the subject on our blog!
