Wow I remember watching this guy's videos back in the day, since middle school I think lol. Brings back memories coming back here lol. Still very thankful for that footcam you setup. :)
Came back after all these years for some nostalgia, and see a lot of people as well learned from you. I was a teenager, and at 18 boought my first manual, a 93 Altima, never having driven a stick before and only watching videos to study. And even 13 years later it's still a special memory that I'll never forget, the pride of being able to drive the car home that day and out your methods into practice.
i learned to drive a stick from this video and got my SI THE NEXT DAY. THX
Man I’m 29 now and I was sat here telling my wife about the story of how I learned stick when I was 17. I watched your videos on repeat everyday for weeks, went out and bought a 99 Civic 5 speed when I never touched a stick before. I somehow managed to get the car home, stalling at so many red lights. You’re part of that memory
Great work.. The foot work video is very helpful. Definitely the best manual tran video on youtube.
I came across this video in 2011. I taught myself stick watching this video. It is 2023 and I still hear his voice while cruising in my Miata on I-80. Thank you sooo much!..🙏
Remember watching this video back in 2010 and I've since passed my UK driving test (in 2013). Now I'm watching this again as I'm about to buy my first car. This video is almost nostalgic haha.
Dude I remember when this was uploaded ( I was about 13; 27 now). This video is single handedly responsible for me knowing how to drive stick today. I've only owned manual vehicles since acquiring my license at 17.
Yeah having the clutch down all the way engages the release bearing and disconnects the clutch from the flywheel completely. No danger in wearing out the clutch if it's pressed down all the way
I learnt how to drive from your videos about 8 years ago. I am now a daily driver and very competent. Thank you!
your feet cam helped so much, thanks,
this video helped me 11-12 years ago. still referring people back to this video.
well done! 👏👏👏
"You don't wanna hear...ehhhhhhEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ! "
I'm learning to drive and I have been watching tons of videos on youtube and these are by far the best.
instructions werent clear enough my hand got stuck in a toaster :(
Getting a 95 laguna blue miata 5 spd after saving up from work, thanks a bunch man your videos really helped me learn stick faster than I thought.
I don't think he know's what hes talking about.... (I'm a mechanic)
What am I saying.. He doe's NOT know what he's saying....
GoveroGames You really look like a mechanic with years of experience on your channel. I will fully trust somebody that looks like they are not even old enough to own a car tell me that this guy actually uploading videos about driving cars. I'm sure you know a lot more about cars.
GoveroGames The purpose of this video is to teach people the basics, and he does so quite well actually. Yeah when he tries to be technical he does not know exactly what he's saying, but that's not the point
you love ponies, so i highly doubt that
13 years ago this was posted. 13 years ago I learned how to drive stick shift by watching a UA-cam video. Thank you for making and posting this video!
Thank you so much for the help!! I just got a Mini Cooper S and I do understand how the shifts works but I had a hard time understand how to release the clutch and accelerate the Mini. I thank you again!! Who ever you are. 😊😊😊
Hey man I literally just got the keys to my first today and its a manual. Your foot cam is so helpful you have no idea. thanks for taking your time, this vid was mad helpful you have no idea.
I gotta say, the fact that you have 500K views on nearly all of your videos shows how great your teaching skills are. I'm learning now..your footwork camera is the best! Oh and the fact you still answer questions...man you da BOMB!
i have been driving manual for 5years now. just wanted to say thanks for the Vids s0ggyrice!
dude i apperciate this man because i just my truck is a manual and my dad has been driving a manual car for 24 years and he didnt get as indepth as you thanks man
Hey man, if it makes you feel any better, I learned more form THIS VIDEO than I have from ANY of my friends, AND family on how to drive a stick. Thank you!
I just wanted to post a big thanks for posting this. This vid was a big help. I've been driving stick regularly for about a few days now and loving every minute of it!
I watched this video over 2 years ago to help me learn stick before I bought my mustang. Now after having driven, drag, and road raced a manual transmission car for well over 2 years I can honestly say this video is very accurate and filled with great info! Watch on and trust his words!
this is one of the best video series to find on youtube. keep up the good work
Learned how to drive stick 10 years ago from this video! The nostalgia is real haha
It's been a longggg time, but thank you for teaching me! Every car I've had since learning has been a stick and it's because of you that I was able to get it down.
Thanks for this! I'm Filipino too and I'm learning how to drive stick. I've only tried it once so far and I only now realize that I'm stepping on the clutch a little too long that's why the car doesn't sound pretty. I'll keep that in mind! This was really clear (the footwork footage helped). Thanks a bunch!
I remember watching this probably about 10 years ago when I first was learning to drive manual. Just wanted to stop in and say thanks!
I'd like to thank you for this video and your others, I just got my '99 Z28 Camaro today and I've never driven a manual, although I screw up quite often in the last 6 hours i've had it, your video really helped me get it down. Manual is so empowering!
great vid man...when i had my first lessons i was told to bring the clutch up to the biting point before applying gas, which is a bit of a juggling act, but the way you've demonstrated by applying gas before bringing the clutch up seems much better and effortless..thanks man
Been watching this video for years. Finally got my own manual. Gotta' do some work to it but excited to be driving it soon. This video helped me get the car home though.
This video helped me when I learned stick in '08. Thank you for this video!
The OG how to drive manual video
amazing teacher this really helped me out. Im going from a automatic Tacoma to a Subaru wrx sti and it will be my first clutch shifting experience.
I like the two cameras. Much better than all these other people shaking the camera all over the place to show two things at once.
thanx bro this helped, im getting an rsx type s in about a month so i needed to brush up on manual driving, this helped refresh my memory, used to own a isuzu impulse but i have long forgotten how to drive stick. thanx for the vid and the help man.
Also, I gotta compliment your driving skills judging by your other videos. I find it awesome how you're good enough with a manual transmission to perfectly illustrate all the things you SHOULDN'T do. haha
FANTASTIC video. I'm 15 and about to start driving so this vid taught me a lot of stuff about manual that I didn't know
ok, i've seen this video a couple times, and i finally figured out where im effin up at! lol. when i was learning how to drive it, i didnt hit the gas a little and roll off of the clutch to get the car going. i was letting go off the clutch first, THEN hitting the gas. WOW lol ok. now i'll have to try this method when i practice again. thanks for making this video!
You have really thorough. I like all the "what not to do" examples you show. It really gives me a near reality of what happens when you do it wrong. Really a nice video and cool dual camera work. I mostly learned from your video besides from friends. Awesome Job!!
I have a bass booster on my phone and when your car idles my earphones tickle my ears lol
Good showing for ppl who doesn't have any experience with manual transmission. Thank you.
Five years later and these are the go-to stick tutorials on UA-cam. I first watch them and when one of my friends asks me to teach them stick I start by watching these with them before I teach them in person.
Thank you soooo much.. I had bought my 86 rx7 and I was scared to drive it. I had all the basics down but just too scared.. So I woke up this morning and I got in the car. I turned it on started it .. I put it in first released the clutch but I didn't give it gas and it jerked exactly how you showed on the video.. So I got on UA-cam and typed in how to drive stick shift and your vid was the first one so I clicked on it saw the 1st few minutes.. Started my car again.. Btw this is all happening
Comes down to personal preference. Some may love it, some may hate it. Everyone who loves it finds it fun. I find it fun lol. I'd say get your first car as a manual. Then for your second car you'd know for sure if you want another manual, or you'd know if you're definitely getting an auto and never going back to manual. Hope that helped. :)
I legit learnt how to drive watching this video 10 years ago
Dude I'm 26 years old now and came across this video, when I was 13 I taught myself to drive with this video and used to take my dad's car out for drives when mum and dad weren't home and to this day they don't know about it
Really appreciate this video. Buying a new car and this video is definitely helping with my confidence. Thanks broooo
i started watchin this vid and was like "this is shit i aint gonna learn nothin" and it ended up teachin me more then the 3 times my dad, mom, and neighbor tryed to teach me. thanks man your great. thumbs up and sub!
Okay now I know HOW to switch but now i needa know WHEN and WHY. Thanks!!! Cuz imma be taking driving school in like 3 months and i want a good headstart!
the best how to drive stick video on youtube.it would have been nice if you had included going in reverse also. thanks!
This is Probably one of the Best "How to Drive Stick" Videos on youtube
its gets Right to the Point....and Quickly....i think this video has helped me alot. :-)
Your videos are very helpful, the camera shot of the feet help a lot
wow this is the only video online that is veryyyyyyyyy helpful. thanks dude
I learned how to drive a manual from this video when I was 16, I'm 21 now. Good old times :(
Nice! after this, the next lesson is the rev-match downshifting (or heel-to-toe downshifting), the best way to downshift while braking. You push in the clutch with left food, top of your right goes on the brake pedal to slow down, and the heel of your right goes to give the engine gas to match the engine RPMs to the transmission ratio of the new gear you are going into. This will prevent a big jerk when the revs of the engine don't match the revs of the transmission... piece of cake ;)
Honestly, you guys that think it's too hard to drive manual and would rather buy a manual really are missing out... After you learn the basics, it's fine, and you actually have more fun driving. If everyone just did what was easiest for them, we would probably still be in the dark ages. Jeez, give it a chance at least. @s0ggyrice, I've been driving stick for while now, but I'm still constantly finding things to help my driving improve in all your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, in need to learn stick because that's gonna be in my first car and the visual video that you put together really helped a lot !
Finally a video that teaches it in a very simple way
Thanks mAn im learning to drive stick so that i can get my car which is also a mini cooper so watchin you drive on a mini it really helped me out
One minor gripe. Engaging the clutch - foot down on it, does NOT wear out the clutch. *Note, you are more specific later when you show "riding" the clutch - which is definitely bad. I saw this video from your quick shift video - excellent BTW. I'm a road racer. We don't use the transmission to slow down the car. That's what breaks are for. Brake pads are a lot cheaper than transmissions. This is why heel-toe works on a track. Slowing for a turn, you're clutched in and rev matching to a lower gear, then letting the clutch out. Race cars without synchronous transmission MUST be exactly rev matched on downshifts, just like in your quick shift video. In a race, if a synchro dies, you shift exactly as you showed.
You're a great tutor, thank you! I'm able to drive manual transmission, and be bless with great abundance.
Nice tutorial. Nice to see people attempting to help others learn.
@RancidRabid NEGATIVE people don't make it nowhere in life, YES YOU CAN !!! I just learned how to drive manual a week ago and these videos helped alot! Good luck
that whole :"don't keep your hand on the gear shifter" thing might be the reason why my 4th gear doesn't shift smoothly. Good shit man.
very helpful vid dude, thx, i watched this before i stole my dad's car for a ride and i was fine. you'd make a good teacher
I learned how to drive stick shift today, it wasn't too difficult.. I love driving it .. I have a 1994 Saab 900s pretty good car :)
I learned to drive stick from you man. Now passing this video on to my OLDER brother Ha
Yes. Better still in most cars you can move from any gear to any other gear whilst stationary. So if you stop at a set of lights in 4th, you can shift straight to first to get ready to move again.
this really helped me out! literally i watched this video like 4 times or more
Yes, if you're rolling in Neutral, you can still put it into 1st gear. But, in most cars (including mine), make sure you're rolling very slowly if you're selecting 1st gear. Usually you can just select 2nd gear if you're already rolling.
UNLESS, you're on an uphill. Rolling slowly on an uphill, select 1st gear. You need higher rpms on hills.
When you shift from 1st gear to 2nd you will always release the gas slightly as you press the clutch. Kind of like a trade of, so as you release the clutch you'll step on the gas. The reason you release a bit is because it will start to over-rev and RPMs might then be to high for 2nd but more equiped for third. When in a parcking lot 2nd gear is better also, but you have to play with the cluch a bit due to frequent stops.
Best video I've seen so far
Great video, very helpful, and I gotta say I'm diggin' the wheels. I love mid-2000's Minis, and I'm looking for a used one myself.
Mini with a manual transmission = Proper automobile.
Man, I like the videos you posted on how to drive a manual. I know it was all informal, but 6:37 made me laugh. Nice work!
It doesn't take long to downshift, takes about a second or maybe even less. You can downshift before the turn, during the turn, or after the turn. Most people would recommend before the turn tho.
If you have to brake quickly because you never seen the turn coming, you can still brake quickly. Just push in the clutch and the brake at the same time to prevent stalling. Then while you're in the turn you'd be able to downshift without causing any problems. :)
Thank you, very informative I took some notes and ready to hop in stock shift!
@veetour it's not for everyone (especially in the USA apparently!) but learning to drive stick will give you better performance and economy (mpg) out of your car. It's also fun!
Thank your so much man my dad let me drive his car and man your videos made me somewhat decent driver :]
Thanks for the video, Ironicly, Im a "NON" Driver, As i havent started learning yet.
Your Video-s Are a great reference for me, Thanks Man! :)
I already knew how to drive stick but this was pretty good review for me since I'm going to be driving an 86 Civic Si for the time being.
Good video man, only part i would debate out is stoping i just put my car in second clutch in all the way break come to stop put in first. And take off just like u said spot on :-)
Thank you for your videos. It helped me last weekend driving stick for the first time. I had trouble getting the car moving (from 1st) going up a hill. The car was rolling down although i was pressing the gas (while releasing the clutch). I'm not sure what i did differently, but after 4 times the car was moving forward. Phew! Any tips?
The best stick video i have ever seen
He was saying it's best to go to neutral when coming to a stop. But, to go into neutral only the second before bringing the car to a complete stop. He was pretty much saying not to see a red light ahead and immediately shift into neutral and then continue braking for like 5-10 seconds in the neutral position.
So stay in whatever gear you're driving in (2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.), then start braking, while still braking, before you come to a complete stop push the clutch in, then drop it to neutral.
with you shifting the gear looks really smooth. i have a question, how would you know when to shift the gear?
I am watching this because I am getting used to a Mini clutch. I have had manual transmission before but I am finding that engaging the clutch into first in the Mini to be different than past cars. Typically, the conventional wisdom is to find the bite point at 1500 to 1800 rpm and when it engages and the rpms fall to give more the gas and release the clutch entirely to 'take off' from a stop. However, I am finding that the rpms fall much faster unless I am slower releasing the clutch and this of course burns the clutch. So, I have been trying to find the best point on the tach to release the clutch enough to find the bite point from a without lugging it out (rpms fall too low) or burning the clutch by remaining on it too long. What rpm level were you at for this video when engaging from first?? It wash hard to see the tach. Thanks. Btw, all the the footwork you did mirrors what I am familiar doing and shifting into 2nd and up is seamless and 'immediate' engine response (as you stated). It's just about finding that spot where engaging from first is smooth instead of luggy/stalling, spinning the tires or staying on the clutch too long to make sure it is engaged. Thanks.
Wow u rly made it easy to understand my dad and my husband were making it so confusing ..lol
Thanks man. Great video and good information. Really helped me out. Keep up the good work.
I learnt alot in this video.
Alot more than in some other videos.
I bet it would have really sucked if he forgot to press record on his camera and realized only afterwards. lol Great job. This helped.
good video man, one of the better ones i have scene on YT
I just wanna say thank you man for teaching me!
I'm A Girl, Turning 15 In Nov. getting A Honda && Basically Watching Your Video Has Helped me Learn How To Drive Stick^_^
Yes.
However, right before you come to a complete stop you will need to push in the clutch. Or even if you don’t come to a complete stop, make sure your rpms aren’t too low. If your rpm is too low, you again need to push in the clutch. (right now you obviously won’t know when your rpm is too low, but it takes practice and it’ll be easy to determine when you practice a little)
If your rpms are too low while in gear, or if you come to a complete stop while in gear, the car will stall.
Yes. If you keep the gas pedal and the clutch pedal pressed in at the same time the engine will just rev because when the clutch is pressed, it disconnects the engine from the wheels.
Yes. For example, you're driving in 1st gear: you'd release the gas pedal, then push down the clutch, then switch to 2nd gear.
And yes, you can come to a complete stop in any gear. BUT, you MUST have the clutch pushed down (to avoid stalling).
