Thank you :)

I also was aware the gear wasn’t changing but couldn’t check what it was, immediately figured it out when I stopped safely and because it was so loud and all up hill and sounded like the car was under strain, I thought I’d ask if I’d done any damage, but that makes me stupid apparently

I have only been driving for 2 months

Look all I know is it the car was struggling up the hill making really loud noises the engine was revving it sounded really bad I panicked I asked for reassurance and help on if I damaged my car and I got berated so that’s that

I knew that I shifted it into manual but I didn’t realise until I had come to a stop and I was worried that all the strain of being stuck in first gear and revving was damaging my car
