The clutch is a third pedal to the left of the brake which lets you disengage the engine and transmission so you can change the gear then let the pedal out, engaging the new gear.

With a clutch, the brake pedal is usually really narrow. So when you get into an automatic instincts will tell you to press the clutch and change gears but that pedal doesn't exist and the wide brake pedal is there instead. Instead of changing gears, you slam the brake.

Also you press the clutch pedal a lot harder and quicker than the brake pedal so you really slam it.

I actually have done this in my auto Civic after daily driving my manual Prelude for a while. The good thing is I was only moving about 8 miles an hour when it happened, so it looked weird. Would be kind of cool to have the narrow brake pedal in the Civic lol

But yeah, I've been thinking about swapping the auto Civic for a manual Accord of the same vintage.
