"Take your time." That's honestly the only thing you need to keep in mind. I tend to rush because there is a car behind me and I feel like they just always impatient.
How about stiff uphill? When taking time to release the clutch it will cause the car to move backwards. Pls help. I'm have a hard time timing my clutch to mix with gas. I'm just a beginner
Got a new car and I can’t drive it at all. The bite point is 90% of the way when lifting the clutch it’s so high it’s stupid. You feel like you’re stalling it every-time you pull away. Hate it sm. Anyone got any tips on the Hyundai i10?
If the biting point is near the very top of lifting the clutch off, it could be the clutch is on its way out. But if it is a brand new car, maybe that is how Hyundai does it clutch. The only thing is practice in a quiet area to get used to where the biting point is.
@@JamesTravis it’s only got like 33k miles so I don’t think the clutch is worn, however I did see online that it’s possible to change the bite point to so it is lower down? Do you recommend adding a lots of gas it struggles to pull away sometimes. I’m used to driving diesels
@@jamesa2482 some clutches can be adjusted to lower them, some are automatically adjusted. If you are stalling when moving off, then it will probably need more gas with it being a petrol car and possibly a bit slower off the biting point as well. If you are putting on more gas and the car is still moving slower, then it is probably more clutch to come off.
After I change gear from 1st to 2nd and lift the clutch up my car jerks and slow down a little bit. What you recomend me to do. I lift the clutch up and than adding gas.
It’s the co ordination of your feet. What is causing the car to jerk is the left foot coming off the biting point too quick, just needs to lift off more slowly. The second point of your car slowing down is because there is a delay from when you lift off the clutch to you putting gas on, that’s why your car is slowing down. You need to put the gas on just as the clutch comes off.
@@misha-elb.8637 you can move off on a hill without using the handbrake. It’s all above it balance of gas and clutch. You can even move off with no gas. I will pop below a couple of videos that should explain further ua-cam.com/video/2tFbe0wNjuw/v-deo.htmlsi=Fwk45ImK0_ok0lpR How to balance your gas and clutch on Hill Starts ua-cam.com/video/FgAPZyyiXmM/v-deo.html
@@JamesTravisyou can set off in 2nd if you’re downhill but on the flat or up hill,always select first or the car will stall or the clutch will wear out if holding it for too long. Hope this helps!😊
I keep tending to keep the clutch a bit more at biting point after applying gas , till i feel like is time to let go completely. I feel like if i do that I'm wearing the clutch down faster as just changed it . How can i minimise the time i hold it, without accelerating like a rocket, as my street is full of cars and not comfortable accelerating past 10 15mph in tight places .
Hi I am coming off the clutch too slowly when changing gears as im driving, for example whilst approaching a roundabout or changing gears.... do you have a tip for this?

That’s true

@@VinSmoke-hc7po do you use handbrake or foot brake method? If you are a beginner use the handbrake because I find that to be easier.
@@VinSmoke-hc7po yeah I had the same problem, I worry that I’ll take too much time and I’ll bump into a car thats behind me.
I had the same problem
I'm curious, which car is this in? It's interesting how all the mechanisms behind the pedals are visible, quite cool to look at actually
Honda Jazz
Does your foot have to be off the ground or on the ground ???
It can be either. But if you manage resting your heel on the floor, it will steady your leg.

@@JamesTravis thank you
Happy to help. Safe driving
Them the wife's socks trav??🤣
@ that’s funny. They are mine
Can you use these 2 technique described without using the hand brake and just the brake? Or would I stall
On a flat road yes.
@@JamesTravis what about on a steep hill without using the hand brake?

Every time I take my foot of the clutch it makes a squeaking noise as I think I take my foot of very fast
That’s interesting. Lift your foot off slower and listen if the noise is still there.
Thanks! I like how you teach it. Where do you live?
My instructor told me to pull off in second gear not 1st. ?
Always pull off in 1st unless you are in snow, then pull off in 2nd on snow.

3 seconds
Once you're over around 6mph lift it up fully

Try the gear change a bit sooner.
Or try lifting clutch a bit quicker and see what happens, if it jumps, slow it down a bit.
Clutch first or gas first. ?
Gas then clutch
Come on, I can't understand what you're saying
Thank you for watching
😂 Need t' spend more time wi' Northerners! Our lad's from Yorkshire/Lancashire I reckon!
