@@ironkicks3075 Might be a little late but every manual car has a different bite point. I heard the WRX'S is quick to engage so it could just be a skill issue on your part.
i've been watching so many videos on "how to drive a manual," and this one is by far the most helpful, well spoken, and easy to understand! not to mention the camera angles were spot on, AND helpful. takes away so much of the anxiety that these other fast spoken videos end up giving me. thank you so much!
The fact he gave multiple examples instead of one, helps. Been watching lots of these videos. I hate when they teach one example and don’t use the proper wording to make you understand, then they move on.
I’ve watched dozens of stick shifts guides. Although they were good, yours gave me the most confidence in learning. Watching real examples on the road over and over is beyond helpful!
Thanks to you I have become a better driver in my manual car. I'm a new driver to it. I love how you have the three cameras to show everything it's very helpful!👍🏼
I really appreciate your clear and simple explanation! I also appreciate that you've provided all possible viewpoints including the speed and RPM! Thank you for that. This is the best stick shift how-to demonstration. I was curious to know the proper way to creep forward from a stop and you've made it clear for me (10:37). Great work, thanks again!
This is the most useful video guide to driving manual I have seen anywhere online! Thanks a lot for uploading this. This video deserves much more views. Period!
As a new manual car driver, I found this video more useful than the hundreds of other videos I have been watching over the last few days. You explain in a clear and easy to understand way. Thank you!
I don’t know what it is, this is the best tutorial on manual driving. The dual camera, calm direct voice is not only assuring but also informative. User friendly. Thank you for simplicity and applicable directions. There are multiple good videos but this is the best.
I needed this. I'm a year late but while I've been practicing I know how to move and shift through gears but when it comes to stopping or turning a corner I end up stalling. But after watching this, on my next practice drive I honestly felt so much more confident in what I had to do and out of the many times I stalled beforehand; I only stalled once but it was due to a dog running into the street. Thanks for the video man
I don't really "need" these videos, as I learned to drive a manual about 15 years ago. However, they're still really helpful, as it's also been about 7 or 8 years since I'd driven one until recently. Thank you for these, for me and for anyone who's just learning for the first time. it's like riding a bicycle, once you learn, you never really forget. But there are little things I couldn't quite remember, and maybe my parents didn't teach me everything. They did well enough for sure, but this is a nice refresher.
This channel is literally the best channel if you wanna learn how to drive manual u literally go thru every situation u can be in, in a manual car your the best man !!!!!
I never wanted a manual because it kinda scared me (especially after watching a ton of how to videos that were not good). What always scared me was stopping and this is by far the best video out there. Now I'll have a good idea of what to do if i ever get a manual car
best intro to manual ever! you must have been teaching it for years, the commentary is so precise and straight to the point! Btw it almost looks like the legs belong to two different people, one wears jeans and another doesn't :D
This is soooo helpful. Many thanks to you Mr. Drive Manual. Sadly, many teachers expect you to figure out all about driving by yourself.. And that happened to me on my first and second lessons. *sobs*
are you sure about Mr? :) Cannot disagree, out of so many videos, this channel kills it with repetitions, variations, commentary and visual indicators.
Finally I watched this video one time and found it very helpful but I wanted to watch it again and I couldn't find it anywhere I just started driving manual.
You really have the best videos for learning manual. Every other video is just some guy talking about driving without really showing you anything. Thank you!
I learned so much more in this 17 Minutes than I did in over the half-dozen 30+ minute video's I have already watched on UA-cam! Bless your heart! I will Like, Sub, Ring the Bell and watch the other part as well.
Thanks a bunch for all these videos. I've been learning to drive stick properly for a while now without the assistance of a driving school and I've saved around 1500-2000€ this way. Only a few kinks to iron out now before I'm satisified. Been working on rev matching as well.
A lot of people always talk about downshifting to a stop but 99% of the time, it’s just not possible because of limited time to do it before reaching the stop sign. Especially if there’s traffic and they’re not moving at the speed you need to downshift at. Years ago, I use to just clutch in and brake to every stop sign and stop light. I didn’t realize then that I was cutting off the engine brake and using brake pads only. Nobody taught me manual. I learned how in an empty mall parking lot in the middle of the night. I pretty much just learned how not to stall it and that’s it. Fast forward, I had 3 manual cars over the years and pretty much did the same thing over and over. Clutch in and brake. Even at 60mph, clutch in and brake all the way down to the stop sign. It’s all I knew. I just got my 4th manual after not having one for over 12 years. I went straight to UA-cam because I was excited to have a manual again and just wanted to watch shifting videos. Needless to say, I now let off the gas, let the engine brake kick in a bit and brake until it’s time to either clutch, downshift, rev match, and continue or clutch, stop, back to 1st.
Not sure if it was mentioned but it's extremely important in my opinion to break first and then clutch, specially in situations where you need to do a hard stop. If you're used to clutching first it wouldn't be instinctive to break quickly.
I love watching your videos! You show how slow to release the clutch which is so important so you don’t lurch the car. I slow down and put my car in neutral when I am heading to a light or stop sign not a big down shifter. I’ve been driving my manual since July steadily. I still like to look at manual videos to see if I can learn any tips. Very helpful!
The best way is to brake first, then put the clutch in just before the car is ready to stall out. This occurs usually around 750-1000 rpm. This way you can continue using engine braking and reduce the load on your brakes, and while saving on gas. Also in some jurisdictions it is illegal to coast with your foot pressing the clutch (you are effectively in neutral). Also certain components in manual transmission have a mean lifetime before repair which is proportional to the amount of time your foot is pressing the clutch. Therefore the goal is to be pressing the clutch as least as possible. Downshifiting for sole intent of stopping should not be done by beginners or commercial cars. It should only be done for heavy trucks and race cars. Even then it might be illegal to downshift in certain jurisdictions to down shift due to noise pollution laws. Also downshifting puts strain on your transmittion parts. Brakes are a lot cheaper than transmission parts.
@@Mystxry think of downshifting as trying to slow yourself down while running downhill. You want to slow down so you start putting massive amounts of energy into your legs to fight gravity and to make sure you don't trip and fall under your own speed. Breaks are a wear item, the transmission isn't supposed to be, cheaper to replace brake pads than your clutch and transmission because you wanna downshift for no real purpose.
@@Mystxry Downshifting wears out the clutch plates if you don't execute it 100% perfectly (using perfect rev-matching). Since it is so difficult to perfect it, it is advisable to not use the technique. Unless you're an expert race car driver or heavy truck driver, I wouldn't do it. For pushing in the clutch while coasting: Every second your clutch is engaged, you are putting strain on the throw-out bearing.
@@yourspider383 so say im breaking and im in 5th slowing down to about 20mph but dont come to a full stop how do i get back into the rite gear without stalling or causing damage?
very very good video! I now learning the drive, but i dont understand the clutch and brake game. I was see this video, and i understand this Thank you very much!
Drove a manual down range in 2013 beeeeeen years now it's 2020 and I went with a manual ( woulda gone auto but hey the car was such a nice deal so fuck it ) this was my refresher course and holy fuck the best video guide period I've watched tons all talk no show this this is perfect balance
I was the same way and then ended up saying "dammit" and stalling various times when learning. Learn that bite point before anything else, and it will be way easier.
@@t58beare I have heard the bite point can be tricky at first. I used to own a dirt bike, so I have some experience with a clutch. However, I'll probably never own a manual so it really doesn't matter 😂
lean do you still stall a lot ? I’m learning manual but I stalk a lot . I can’t get out of first . Sometimes I even stalk at an intersection. Like right in the middle . Will I get better or should I change to automatic transmission?
I mostly know how to drive a manual but it's the little things that trigger my anxiety and I freak out but the fact you explain so much what to do, like I had no clue you could stop in 3rd in low rpms if you have to. I work at a dealership so I drive manuals here and there to practice more but I'm looking to upgrade from a 09 2.5i auto impreza hatch to a 2011 wrx hatch so I rlly needed to learn small things before I go buy him. Thank you for these videos😩🖤
If yall need like a pointer as to where and when to shift. This helped me when i was learning: Press the clutch when going slower than 800RPM’s depending on the car. at 1000 is a safer bet tho, when you are comming to a stop its better to keep the clutch pedal out as long as possible to not be coasting. Shift from first to second at like 2,5k rpm at roads and as early as you please on streets. 2nd to 3rd and so on at like 2 thousand. Mabye slightly later at highways, uphill etc. and downshifting at like 1500 to 1200 rpms.
Trying to teach myself manual just wondering, isn't it bad to ride the clutch when coming to a stop? Is it ok to do or is it better to brake first and then clutch in when the rpm gets to like 1.5k
This video is more informative than many of the ones I have on my Manual Driving Playlist. Everyone I came across is saying you have to Rev Match, and Heel toe. I spent hrs looking at videos on how they do both techniques, and though I understood some of it, I didn't get the point of doing all that, or whether is necessary. Most ppl replied back saying if you're going 80-100mphs you would definitely need to know these things... But why on earth would I drive that fast? Can anyone enlighten me on whether it is needed to know those things, or is things I should pick up as a learn to drive first? I also saw them say those rev matching and heel toeing saves the car? Can't I just apply the brake and down shift as you were normally doing without the car jerking a bit?
Thank you for making this kind of videos. I am buying BRZ hopefully will get it this year, Will be my first manual car This tips are very helpful! Do you have a video going in a reverse? Lets say your in a parking lot and trying to get on the road. Would be cool if I see footwork
@@whoischris28 say you downshift all the way to first and come to a complete stop with the beake can you just realese the brake and get going again or have to depress the clutch?
people like to downshift coming to a stop for audible exhaust/engine noise and engine braking. I do it in my Mustang because it sounds great and makes me happy, even though I know it's more wear than using brake pads. Having said that, it's an automatic paddle shift manual mode that rev matches, so that should mean there is less clutch wear than user-error in a manual using heel-toe.
Downshifting for stop signs to me is based on how fast you're going and for better engine braking. If you're in 5th gear on a 55mph road going 55mph and a stop sign is coming up, I would brake until I reach a certain speed, downshift to say 3rd gear, brake, clutch in and stop.
The reason for downshifting before a stop is to minimize the braking distance until a stop, but if that's the case it's only needed on the main road driving with a speed like 70 km/h, totally unnecessary at a local road.
I thought it was better for the transmission to put it in N then just use your break but what should I do like at a red light but then I end up not having to stop all the way idk if that makes sense but those kinds of situations stress me out
I’m no expert i’m just learning myself, but what i’ve been told is when you see a red light and you go into N and braking but it turns green before you stop at all, always match your speed with your gear. Example, if you slow down to like 10-20mph shift it down to 2nd gear, if you 25-35 drop it to 3rd and so on. If you below 9mph of course first.
I got a question for anybody that knows about manual cars because my question is..when I got to a stop sign or if I’m gonna go to a red traffic light in 6th gear can I really press the break and then go to 1st gear with no problem by that I mean will it hurt my car?
In sixth gear you're going pretty fast so press the break down slowly and as your rpms go down you can downshift. Think about it, do you really think it's good to press down on the break at 70 mph?
Great video! I just have a question? When you say"clutch up and give a little gas" how much up on the clutch are you going before the give a little gas? to the biting point? or you know how much you letting off the clutch by the way your personal car feels and how smooth it should feel?

Premature wear on the throwout bearing if ur holding the clutch while breaking...just put it in nuetral and break and put in first after u stop
what if you dont come to a full stop how do you get back into gear?
@@thephantomzoneboxing i blip the throttle and put it in second or if im under 10mph i put it in first on my 03 wrx
@@whoischris28 say you downshift all the way to first and come to a complete stop with the beake can you just realese the brake and get going again or have to depress the clutch?
Best vid so far!!!
people like to downshift coming to a stop for audible exhaust/engine noise and engine braking. I do it in my Mustang because it sounds great and makes me happy, even though I know it's more wear than using brake pads. Having said that, it's an automatic paddle shift manual mode that rev matches, so that should mean there is less clutch wear than user-error in a manual using heel-toe.
On a flat road, i usually shift gear before reaching 2000rpm, for better fuel consumption.
Downshifting for stop signs to me is based on how fast you're going and for better engine braking. If you're in 5th gear on a 55mph road going 55mph and a stop sign is coming up, I would brake until I reach a certain speed, downshift to say 3rd gear, brake, clutch in and stop.
this is an awesome setup
This was the most helpful video. Thank you.
I learned a lot of this video. Thank you!
Great video like. Always, thanks for the effort and time.
Thank you. Must keep studying it!
The reason for downshifting before a stop is to minimize the braking distance until a stop, but if that's the case it's only needed on the main road driving with a speed like 70 km/h, totally unnecessary at a local road.
Excellent guide, thank you very much..
give a littybit a gasssss
great video man
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
This video is extremely helpful! Can you do a video on expressway driving?
Thank you so much !! So simple and helpful ❤
Approaching a stop sign i just throw it into neutral a few feet away but for beginners it's best to clutch it then brake.
I forgot about that but sure lots of people do that as well.
Thanks this video is really helpful.
I thought it was better for the transmission to put it in N then just use your break but what should I do like at a red light but then I end up not having to stop all the way idk if that makes sense but those kinds of situations stress me out
I’m no expert i’m just learning myself, but what i’ve been told is when you see a red light and you go into N and braking but it turns green before you stop at all, always match your speed with your gear. Example, if you slow down to like 10-20mph shift it down to 2nd gear, if you 25-35 drop it to 3rd and so on. If you below 9mph of course first.
This is video is great very helpful. Do u have other video on shifting
Best video to learn 👍 great job
Do you have to switch it to first at every stop? What happens if you just leave it in like 2nd or 3rd gear while stopped
I drive stick almost every day but still watches this for entertainment. Haha
I got a question for anybody that knows about manual cars because my question is..when I got to a stop sign or if I’m gonna go to a red traffic light in 6th gear can I really press the break and then go to 1st gear with no problem by that I mean will it hurt my car?
In sixth gear you're going pretty fast so press the break down slowly and as your rpms go down you can downshift. Think about it, do you really think it's good to press down on the break at 70 mph?
Thanks for this video just started to learn how to drive manual. :)
She makes it look so easy but when i go to do it its like the transmission is about to drop out of my car. Smh. Why is this so difficult?
Awesome vid very helpful
isn’t he tecnically riding the clutch though? i brake and put mine into neutral and then stop
So the reason the car isn't stalling is because you have your foot on the clutch clutch in correct?
Yep
Great video! I just have a question? When you say"clutch up and give a little gas" how much up on the clutch are you going before the give a little gas? to the biting point? or you know how much you letting off the clutch by the way your personal car feels and how smooth it should feel?
NewYork85 it’s a biting point with the clutch you’ll know if you drive one
