😂Very true. That is One of the good reasons why I am watching his video rather than the other. Most of videos presenters are either screaming or simply stressful to listen to
My son is just learning to drive and has some difficulty changing up or down gears. This video is perfect to help him master this. Very clearly explained and demonstrated! Thanks for helping me to help him in his next lesson.
I struggled a lot for more than 2 days to select the third gear when l was in my driving lessons. But the most important that l have learned is the 1st and second gear and how you should place your hand into the gear, BIG UP BROTHER!!! On the 10th of May, I have been booked for defensive driving 🚦 and you will be the 1st person to hear 👂 from me
Hey there! Thank you so much for sharing your driving experience with me. It's totally normal to struggle with certain aspects of driving when you're just starting out, but it sounds like you're making great progress! It's awesome that you've mastered the first and second gears, and knowing how to place your hand on the gear is definitely an important skill to have. I'm so excited to hear that you've been booked for defensive driving on May 10th - that's fantastic news! Please do keep me posted on how it goes, I can't wait to hear all about it. And remember, even if you encounter some challenges along the way, don't give up - you've got this! Keep up the great work, my friend!
I passed my test 4 years ago and I've only started driving again.. really struggled with going from 2nd to 3rd gear the last few days.. I needed petrol this evening and after watching this, and changing my hand round the gear stick has made me feel more confident.. thank you 😊
Third and fourth are the "default" gears. The springs automatically push the lever into the center of the pattern. For a change from second to third I don't palm. I simply push the lever forward, wait a fraction for the spring to work, and push the lever forward again. Psychologically I really like this because it's like a pilot pushing the engine levers forward on takeoff! Third to fourth, no palming, pull straight back. Fifth to fourth, no palming, pull straight back, pause, and straight back again. When I watch Classic NLS videos the drivers also use this system. Moral of the story, let the springs help you as much as possible.
Thank God for your channel! You're so clear and you get straight to the point. I love how your videos are so detailed and how they contain such helpful information. Your channel is a God send for us learner drivers :)
okay tell you something after couple of videos THIS is the only one that really got me and and now finally all confusions related Gear shifting are Gone. TYSM, just keep going with stuff like this keeping simple and fully explained covering all possible sides.
Chris the whole world should learn from you. Never seen a clearer and easier person to learn from before I luckily came a cross your channel. Best of luck lad
When I first started learning I used to slam the gear stick into the gear I wanted, because that's what they do in films. My instructor soon stopped that. :-D
One of my biggest fears, once I changed from first to fourth and I’ve been traumatised since. When I’m on dual carriageways I pray before I change gears this video helped massively. Even though it happened to me once I’ve been scared ever since
I have watched a lot of videos on how to use the gear ,this is the best video on UA-cam so far I feel like I can already drive manual car even though I never did ,Thank you so much well done .
Wow, I'm in South Africa. I'm doing lessons, tuning here has helped me. I can't wait to go and drive tomorrow. Everything is easy here. Thank you very much. I can't wait for tomorrow
So glad I have found your channel! I'm ok with change gears up but going down I find a bit tricky! I kinda have anxiety when it comes to driving and have had lessons but now learning with my husband but keep avoiding it as my anxiety gets to me 😣
Drive as much as possible. Choose friendly environments initially( open parking lots or driving in early morning before traffic rush), this will make you feel more comfortable and relaxed about driving. Move on to tougher challenges after that..this might help with your anxiety
I have never been able to block change gears because i was taught to change up through all the gears when speeding up then the same when slowing down. My instructor said (like 25 yrs ago!!) it would help slow me down & not be so hard on the breaks. I understand the idea totally but when i try to block change i just revert back to my old ways lol!
This is so useful, thank-you! I’ve been struggling to not look down at my gear stick when changing gears, and changing up from 2nd to 3rd and this really helped.
This is the best driving instructing video I have ever seen. Thank you so much. Others focus on steering, braking and showing inside car but not shifting haha. Cheers
I’m glad I came across this video, for some reason the only issue is having whilst on my lessons is going from second to third and fourth to Fifth. My instructor hasn’t told me about the spring box within the gears so hopefully now I won’t have anymore issue .
Thankyou so much for these videos! Before every lesson I always watch as many as I can,I'm a visual learner so seeing how a technique works in real life has really helped me remember everything (plus your voice is so calm to listen to). Today I finally passed my test with only 1 minor! 😁
My dad told me this method constantly and he does it with ease. I'm getting there ( I don't look down anymore) but I still change gears time to time without the palm method.
All your videos were very helpful! Thank you Chris for putting in your time and effort making these videos. I passed on 2nd of January, after failing a few times. I finally passed! Thanks to you and my driving instructor. When I was not in lessons, I would always watch your videos.
Hi! Thanks for letting me know and congratulations on passing your driving test. Appreciate you watching our videos. Keep up the safe driving and see you on the road 🙂
Thanks for this video and your lesson delivery too. I haven't known that one can skip a gear before, for instance, 1-3 or 5-1, etc. Thanka a lot for that and we expect getting more from you!
Just wanted to say thank you so much! This really helped me improve in my driving and stopped me from looking down at the gears when changing gears! Thank you!!
i am from india and watching this in 2020 today i learnt that on changing 1st to 2nd gear: Palm away from u from 3rd to 5th : palm towards you........ Thankxx for the info............Love from INDIA
Thankyou! And Honestly your videos are amazing! I would recommend your videos to anyone rather than other videos on youtube! You make everything so clear and easy to understand! Thankyou so much keep up with the good work!

Hi what is heel and toe ? why we need to do that ?
Suppose i forget which gear i'm in whilst i'm driving?
1st to 2nd gear - palm away from you
3rd to 5th gear - palm towards you
Why didn't anyone make this clearer for me? Thanks Chris!

This is only applicable if you're driving right hand manual cars

I was not taught this palming method when I was learning to drive. I only knew this when I came across WorldDriving. Thanks Chris.

This is the best video on UA-cam to learn gear changing on a manual car. Thanks a lot!
one vital thing about you is your clear voice and calmness teacher keep it up
As an American who wants to learn to drive manual, this is a godsend.
Hi! Thanks for watching. Have a look thorough our videos as you might find some more videos that will help you 🙂
Passing my driving test first time today thanks to the help of your great videos 👍🏻
Hi Adam! Congratulations. Keep up the safe driving and see you on the road :)
okay tell you something after couple of videos THIS is the only one that really got me and and now finally all confusions related Gear shifting are Gone. TYSM, just keep going with stuff like this keeping simple and fully explained covering all possible sides.
So I have a habit of changing into the wrong gears by accident and my driving tests in just over 2 weeks. Thank you for this it really helped 😊
Chris the whole world should learn from you. Never seen a clearer and easier person to learn from before I luckily came a cross your channel. Best of luck lad
Thanks for your nice comment 👍
If anyone ask how I learn to drive standard this is where I’m sending that person. Your videos thought me all I needed to knw about driving standard🤙🏾
I've been having trouble with changing gears until I saw this. I must say that it's quite handy.
Hi! Pleased that you found it useful. Thanks for watching :)
Handy as in literally 👌🏾👌🏾👍🏾
The best tutor on gear level, very educative and easier. Thank you
Appreciate you watching 🙂
2nd to 3rd has really been holding me back, have literally perfected everything apart from this. Hopefully this will help me
I am the same don't know why
4th to 5th for me still scared to do after paassing. thankfully not been on anything over 40mph roads fo now.
Same i think its the speed because i was under 40 kilometers per hour
Have you passed
Same for me. I used to accidentally skip to 5th
This helped me big time and I only drive manual for two days , had my first stall but after watching this everything seems clear . Thank you .
i like your lessons it has real changed me
Of all the videos about manual transmission I've watched this had been the most educative of them all I love it
Pleased 👍
I was struggle with gear change special when 2 to 3 but now feeling confidence .thanks!
When I first started learning I used to slam the gear stick into the gear I wanted, because that's what they do in films. My instructor soon stopped that. :-D
🤣🤣
:'D
Same 🤣
Accidentally shifted into gear 1 instead of 3 on a driving lesson, thankfully didn't damage the car. Will try this method
How was the method any tips?
shifted into 5th by accident it was not fun
One of my biggest fears, once I changed from first to fourth and I’ve been traumatised since. When I’m on dual carriageways I pray before I change gears this video helped massively. Even though it happened to me once I’ve been scared ever since
how is it now lol?
@Vladimir Putin somehow lool
You can miss out gears ,if you get the engine speed correct!
I do it all the time.
I have watched a lot of videos on how to use the gear ,this is the best video on UA-cam so far I feel like I can already drive manual car even though I never did ,Thank you so much well done .
