I just want to ask a question.
automatic teaching us to drive automatic
Please ✌️😎✌

I have a question do you have to push the clutch for neutral
I don’t have a dad
Thanks so much
@@austenhuff4696 j
When I taught my wife, she was so paranoid about stalling at a stop light or sign, and making the people behind bet mad. I just told her, if they are impatient, that means they don't recognize the car is a manual, and probably can't drive it themselves so screw them and take your time.
Exactly! I was teaching a friend and put "student manual driver" in tape on the back glass just to help some! People are so impatient, even with normal student drivers, it's crazy how they even got a license to begin with!
I taught her 16 years ago now in a 2005 toyota corolla. It took time, but she eventually rocked it. As someone who has been driving manual probably as long as you have been alive, it does me good to go back and understand the basics when you teach someone. It becomes so second nature, you just forget about rev matching and your point of friction and all that, and just do it.
@@JasonGroom Yeah, it's nice to explain it again and really show someone what's involved with how to operate one! This past weekend I had a passenger in my car and was explaining to them on a mountain drive!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed wait you don't need to know how to drive a manual?! Now i know why Save the manuals is a thing
My husband is actually teaching me currently. The way you phrased this makes me feel much better, like your wife at the start i am really nervous about stalling and causing other people to get angry, so thanks for putting it this way.
Who else’s dad just yelled at them until you got the hang of it 😂😂
hahah I'm some people are like that. I grew up riding dirt bikes, so I drove manual cars easy first time
Yeeehhhh...
Being australian that's how you learn everything haha
@@petercronin8250 very true
literally
The secret to never stalling is flooring it while slowly releasing the clutch.
Source: dude trust me
hahah that is very true!!
Well, neither the cops nor your tyres are gonna like it..
@@NikitasGR21 and when did i care about the cops haha
@@neonicplays You may not care about the cops, but you shouldn't get addicted to that because you won't be able to afford new set of tyres every two weeks..
@@NikitasGR21 eh if im not carung about the cops I can get the tire shop to make a... donation
The simple trick that I was taught was that when you hear the engine juddering and feel you're about to stall, dip the clutch all the way in, set more revs and slowly bring the clutch up again. I don't use it now but it was very useful in my first few lessons.
That's about what I was saying. Best way to do it. Good to learn the feeling and sound of the engine too so people don't just rely on looking at the tach
Drive manual till it's automatic.
W
no.
Wow lol
Clever!
I owned a cheap (but fun) manual, I wouldn't say that to a luxury car, for fun car, definitely agree
If anyone tells you they've never stalled a manual, they've either never driven one, or they're LYING!
Oana Denisa nah bro it’s going to stall
I've driven manual cars my entire life. Aside from a auto cavalier as a work car back in the day lol. I'd say stalling a higher hp/torque car is waaaay harder to stall accidentally then say a shitbox ford focus. And it doesn't take panic or forgetting. Could even be that your shoes are wet from rain and you accidentally slip off the clutch too fast or some other bullshit. But you will stall eventually. It's just gunna happen when you have a million miles of road experience.
Oana Denisa so when you first drove a manual car without learning it never stalled on you?
Oana Denisa ok you said “first I learned what I needed to do” then you said “then I started driving with an instructor” sorry bro I thought it was easy too just by knowing the steps but it don’t work like that once you’re behind the wheel it’s different idk who tf you’re trying to fool 🤦🏽♂️
I'll be driving a manual sports car next week and its gonna be my first time driving manual. wish me luck. Im confident that I won't stall the car even once.
I'm 45, my first car was a manual and I've owned them all my life. I remember the stress of being stopped while on in incline and knowing I'd roll back some before I could get the clutch engaged -that was stressful as a new driver. I think this video is actually a great idea given how many young people don't know how to drive a stick. Well done!
Yeah it can be stressful in the beginning! The first time I stalled a manual was trying a hill start! Glad you enjoyed the video!
The litmus test should be pulling a boat trailer up a ramp. Luckily I cheat and have 4 low + e-brake.
The majority of idiots watching these kind of videos will most likely never drive or own a Manual car my Camry is Manual, my 2016 Scion TC is Manual, and my 97 Accord EX is also Manual. I hate Automatic cars.
I learned on my 1st car to drive manual as well.
I’m going to predict the two top comments:
America needs to bring back manual cars
I’m European
Americans are too lazy to drive a manual
@@justindimarzo8279 me 🙄
@MAZINGER Z Yes and europeans have less chances of crashing these hatchbacks into crowds or anything else.
Justin DiMarzo yes because nobody should have to work while driving. As long as they pay attention and not kill anyone that’s all that matters
@ Work while driving? To me, that's like wondering why you don't have aimbots installed because actually aiming on a skilled moving target takes skill and focus.
Key to never stalling when starting. Rev to red line, then dump the clutch 👍
william the sk8er Bonus: You will do some mad burnouts.
You do have a point
Basically what i do haha
Sige Himself lol
dopeeeeeeeee
For me as a German it is weird to call an automatic a "normal car".
Hodor yea nowadays its different. more than 60% of all cars sold in germany in 2017 where either automatic or direct drive
Uhm.. There aren't any official figures for automatic transmissions in Germany. Only Europe.
And only for 2016
Europe - 31.9%
Germany - estimated 20%
In Europe, auto is considered a luxury.
I want to say in Europe People are a lot more likely to fix their cars themselves and Manuel's are less maintenance in easier to work on in general than automatics, its why I drive them at least
I sure saw some crazy workshops in Rome. The would fit them where you'd least expect it. No wonder so many prefer Vespa over there tho.
Thanks to my dad I can start a car under heavy pressure.
haha thats good to hear!
Same 😂
My drive instructor is kinda a noisy prick but i decided to take it as a challenge and not be personal. On my 6 lesson now I'm doing pretty good
Biggest tip
Find the sweet spot and lead with the clutch, once you find the sweet spot the car won’t stall but be able to move forward by itself from here you hit the gas slowly while at the same time releasing the clutch; for people who learned to drive autos first like me and are right handed and footed, really really think about using the clutch; the gas /right foot movement is already implanted in your muscle memory but you have to concentrate to Learn to use your left foot and think about it hard, e.g. lifting weights and thinking about the muscle you’re training (hence lead with the clutch) this helped me a lotttt when I learned
You're exactly right!! Great tip for viewers!
If you get the first gear the rest of the gears are easy
Christian Montano well if you got what i got it’s easy in first too
@@blakedjameson the car tends to stall really easy on first gear. Or shock alot. Thats my experience.
@@thefreakgamerp then you are releasing the clutch to fast, just practice with the clutch no gas at all until you know where the biting point is once you see the car move hit the gas a little and then release the clutch all the way
@@chrishendrickson2392 i do know how to drive. First gear is just very very sensitive. Thats why i drive in second gear more in a village. The car is more stable than. But thanks enyway.
@@thefreakgamerp some cars need more gas like the mini for example I can drive manual and I kept stalling it customers vehicle
How do i get to a parking lot without knowing how to drive a manual
Ryan was thinking the same thing XD
Jaja
Why do u have manual car even if u dont know how to drive it
Eemeli Raki why are you watching this video if you already know how to drive a manual.
U live in the parking lot with a nice car
“first is always up and to the left” until you’re driving an older car and you shift into reverse
Yeah I have seen a few dog leg manuals. that'd be some fun to drive!
Or in a brz and you lift the ring.
In my own experience, the secret to never stalling can be summarised by the following idea:
You're only gonna stall when you're taking off, so when you're taking off make sure to give the car a decent amount of petrol as you release the clutch. That prevents the car from stalling even if you release the clutch a little faster than normal. You can obviously hear, so don't give it too much petrol that it's loud but don't try to force yourself to take off with no petrol every time. There is no point. As a new driver, if you give it some fuel each time you take off, even on flat roads, that helps a lot in getting used to the control point and the whole process of taking off and eventually, you will be able to do with no petrol if you want to.
So again in summary, the secret to never stalling is giving your car enough petrol while you're taking off, even if you're on a flat road. That way when you release the clutch you will not stall and although some takeoffs can be jerky in the beginning, you get used to releasing the clutch slow enough that every takeoff is smooth.
Exactly! Great tip
And you give it gas at the bite point ?
@@GoatedOne201 yes
@@GoatedOne201 Yes. If you're taking off uphill, you have to give it petrol at the bite point and then immediately start to release the clutch.
I have seen a car which automatically gives you some revs without hitting a gas pedal when you start releasing the clutch. Very useful to avoid stalling.
maybe its more fun to drive, but its also way harder to steal
the best anti-theft device
Wanna have the ultimate anti-theft? Buy a Spyker (Doug DeMuro's video shows why).
Especially with a brass button clutch 😉😉
chergui toufik steel: metal alloy
Steal: to take without permission
🤣. That’s why I don’t care about my Challenger R/T being stolen. Most of these guys don’t drive a manual and hate it anyway. 😂
I initially learned to drive on an automatic car and always thought of driving as one of the most dull, lackluster activities that would almost put me to sleep with boredom... i then moved in with someone who had a manual and taught me to drive stick, i am now attending automotive repair classes so i can learn how to keep cars running and are looking to buy a manual car for myself because this makes driving fun!
This must be one of the best comments of all time. Bravo.
Goals for real 💯💪🏼
This how I feel a out driving. It's a very dull experience, I drive an automatic car. Looking for a manual now.
Friggin’ A
🙂🙂
@@barbaroacosta5335 if it's boring you're either extra cautious or don't listen to music
The thing I've found most difficult with learning a Manual is dealing with the idiots and impatient people around you. Stalling at a stop sign and having someone lay on the horn behind you is not very fun and definitely gets u nervous.
I can see that! It’s easier said than done, but sometimes just have to ignore those people 😂
“Press the start button” weird flex but ok
What about pressing the start button is a flex?
The vast majority of cars today are push start. Thats just normal. It's like me saying, 'turning the key'. But the 370Z has push start
@@BrosFOURRSpeed it’s just a joke man 😂 idk I just find push to start buttons fancy
@@freshcookieman7089 lol gotcha!
@@freshcookieman7089 u haventh lived until u pressed a few buttons🤪
I have never driven a manual ( I plan on getting one) and have seen multiple video's on how to drive one and your video is by far the most thoroughly explained and demonstrated. Thx a lot.
Edit: 4 years later and I have been driving a manual for 2 years. Some of the most fun I've ever had :)
Thanks, they are a lot of fun for sure!
Trying this in a more usual car with smaller engine will definitelly stall it.
I agree, its one of the best taught videos ive seen.
What car did you get?

Respect from all hoods. Pray for my friend, hes ok, but Im going to be practicing in his car so.
Just know that you burn out his clutch, you paying for new one XD
I need to know how it went 😂😂
Recently got my licence (auto) and have been considering learning how to drive manual as well. It looks so much more fun and feels like you'd definitely have more control over the car. Thanks for the video, you do a really good job of explaining it.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Definitely a great experiences knowing how to drive manual! Check out our most recent upload! Actually re made this video since it has been 3 years. Filmed the new one in a Civic Type-R!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed k
The most important tips that worked for me were:
- dont get too worked up about stalling the car, it creates a self fulfilling prophecy.
- too much gas/rpm when starting is still better than not enough. Since the former just might create sick burnouts and wear the cluth while the latter just stalls the motor.
- Get comfortable with letting it roll in idle, so you get the idea that if youre letting go of the clutch carefully enough it wont stall.
Yeah great points!
The real secret to never stalling is to keep the gas pedal pinned to the floor
influxd That is true lol
After letting go the clutch, put ypur left foot in the brake while in full throttle and walla.... Burnout
And burned clutch
True
@@ChrisAlfanta to do a burnout use the clutch and realease and put brake and gas at the same time
I actually learned to drive a manual in a tractor
Yup, on my tractor
@Donald Trump Move rocks huh? I always knew Donald Trump used to push weight.
I had some loser on r/miata tell me that he has never stalled his car in 15 years. Okay. I have never sneezed since I was 10.
well, if you know how to drive, you wont stall it, its like riding a bike.. he probably didnt stall his car for 15 years, thats fully possible.. its getting used to it thats hard, your first days, after you're used to it, its a walk in the park
@@domi4307 even when you're really good at it, we all have popped that clutch a little too fast once every few years.
My father has been driving manual trans trucks professionally his entire life, from twin stick pete's to 18 speeds and he still stalls occasionally. It happens to everyone lmao
Thank you for this video! My wife is purchasing a '20 370z Nismo (I've convinced her to purchase a manual, for all the obvious reasons), and doesn't know how to operate a manual transmission...your content has reinforced her enthusiasm about this decision, and given her an easily accessible reference on operating the exact same vehicle. Thanks again!
Once you go manual you are never going back!!!!
*Goes back to being an useless parasite*
I owned a mt and i drive at redline pretty often, let say 3rd gear in 140kmh, but automatic is indeed the future
Because you don't know how to drive back home
@Gonçalo Ferreira I shift right at 140kmh, plus the ecu wouldnt really allow me to surpass that redline, theyll cut the power for me, so I guess it's fine
Plus I never really like that underpower engine and thinking of getting it swap, so no worries (Honda crz)
@@egotist11 aren't you using a massive amount of fuel, when you drive in third gear at 140km/h?
I have noticed americans have automaitcs EVERYWHERE i live in the UK and finding an automatic is like a manual in america
That’s absolute bollocks. Yes Manuals are very common and most people learn to drive manual but a lot of People have autos.
I was astonished to see that aboutt 37% of new car sale in the UK are automatic. I think they're mostly hybrid and electric.
@Jake DV
You see, over here in the USA over the last few generations we have gone through a pretty dramatic shift in: Technology, Schooling, how parents raise their children(almost nonexistent discipline/parenting, concluding in disrespectful spoiled shits that lack even basic life skills)... And what I consider 2nd worst if not 1st, is what seems to be the lowest work ethic amongst my countries younger generations in my nation's history! And there's more, but these are the bigger issues in my opinion..
And I had to say all of that just to be able to now explain why I think manual transmissions are harder to find than an automatic in the US. Because of the aforementioned shifts, younger generations are WAY LESS likely to even attempt to learn to drive a manual(I would even bet that the majority have never even been in a car with a manual transmission!), due to the rising problem of, "it's too much work and effort to learn that".. Even though, unless you're driving a manual that's like 20+yrs old, most newer Manual cars advanced to where you almost have to try to stall the engine...
So that I don't end up writing a novel instead of a comment, I'll conclude with:
The reason manual transmissions are becoming rare is because people are becoming more and more lazy and technologically dependent, in this age of "instant gratification".
@@mrsentencename7334 ill be more precise.. Northern Ireland. I've lived here majority of my life 15+years and I've been round cars most of my life.. never been in an automatic in this country
@@jakedv1640 yeah fair enough bro
Just did my second lesson Sunday. Third lesson this Sunday coming. I have to do 50 hours before I can go for my provisional licence here in Australia and I've already started driving up to third gear but man watching these videos helps. It's so anxiety inducing I just wish there were bumper car type roads where I can just buy my own manual and figure it out hahahaha
Sounds like you are getting the hang of it! A manual can be tough to start off on, but keep practicing and you will get the hang of it! Glad this video could help!
I just bought a manual VW GLI a couple of weeks ago and had 4 days with my dad to learn. I'm very lucky because he is a truck driver and instructor but was still a lot to cram into me within 4 days. I still stall here and there usually on an incline but I've progressed so much in the last couple of weeks. I'm still trying to figure out how to make my downshifts smoother and definitely going to use the tips you mentioned! Thank you 😊
Thats awesome to hear! Good job picking it up so quickly! The more you drive it, the more it will all feel natural to you!
Bring the revs up yourself while the clutch is down, its called blipping the throttle, try to do it at certain speeds so you can remember what revs certain gears will go to, my car usually needs a 1.5k increase, take your foot off before you engage clutch and start engaging throttle gradually as you release if you’re downshifting to accelerate
I'm pretty sure you are a very good driver by now.
@myself8980 yes 100x better than when I originally wrote this comment! So happy I learned, it's made me a way better driver and has been way more fun 🙂

The secret to never stalling: never release the clutch 👍🏻
You ride the clutch, you are gonna find it not there someday, when you really need it, NEVER RIDE THE CLUTCH!
Jaighter /whoosh
Jaighter eh wrong but yeah
Jaighter we never said didnt use we said never release. U can still ride it after gwttting past thr majority of release and it will drive
Jaighter This I do know, and I can't drive manual very well! 🤣
This video was super helpful and after watching it I was able to drive manual so much easier ! You're very good at explaining and the camera angles are super helpful as well! Thanks for uploading!
What I found helps as well is most automatic cars have a manual mode in them. It helps with rev matching and getting used to shifting gears without a clutch.
Good point. A lot of new drivers don't really understand the concept of even changing gears. So thats a good stepping stone
My bmw 330ci has a steptronic mode and I’m getting used to it before my brother lets me drive his focus st.
I thought it would cause more harm to the engine when you opt to shift gears without using the clutch.
@@musengalungu8069 He's talking about in an automatic car where there is no clutch. Changing gears in manual mode in an automatic car is done with a paddle shifter.
This has probably been the best manual driving video I’ve seen so far, it actually described the specifics of how to do each thing you mentioned as opposed to just why they’re important; many thanks
that's a good tutorial, i been driving stick for over 20 years i tought myself and every once in a while even i stall out but hey it happens. taking off on hills is not like taking off on flat ground.
royzcustomz true, I recently got my first car and learned to drive on hills and mountains lol it's definitely an experience
royzcustomz to minimize rollback you need a slightly different technique during takeoff on a hill.
The key would be using your hand brake* when on an uphill.
What happens when you stall? Can you get back it?
@@tylertolentino1943 if you're lucky you can save it before it dies.
Ive been driving automatic for 11 ish years, and just bought my first manual this week! I'm learning on a 1997 miata, and its super fun! This video is super helpful and will reference it if i ever get flustered. Thanks for the help!
Glad it's helpful and have fun!!! A manual miata is a great way to go!
At a stop , you can cause unnecessary wear to the clutch if you hold the clutch pedal down while in first gear. Please note , I've owned MTs on and off for almost 40 years , and this is what I was first taught.
I'm about to teach a 16 year old, and I will have him watch your video as an intro... well done.
Awesome man!! Thanks for using my vid as a tutorial! Have fun!
But if you don't slip the clutch when pulling away, and just step off it instead, you'll ruin the gearbox
You're only applying force to the throwout bearing not the clutch surface. Sitting at a light in neutral is your choice or not...but you aren't wearing out the clutch.
Throwout bearings used to be graphite, solid state....but today they are roller bearings.
My Mazda had 280,000 miles on original clutch...and it was still strong when I sold it. My current Ford has 180,000 on original clutch...still pulls like new.
I only shift to neutral to save my left foot wear and tear at a very long light. Riding motorcycles i have learned to usually have it in 1st in case a driver runs up your a--.
Thanks a thousand for this! While I've been practising driving for quite some time, down-shifting has been somewhat of a mystery to me *until now.* It's just that nobody actually told me to _nudge the gas_ before letting the clutch go :p
I started with a 60 year old tractor that is really forgiving when you dump the clutch in 1st or 2nd gear, but in forth gear you have to slip the clutch a lot. The only reason I do that is because the transmission in the tractor in not secronized meaning if you tried to shift gears while moving you will just grind the gears.
I just got a lil 5 speed mustang and thanks to your videos I was able to successfully cruise around the block with it in first gear! Thank you for all the help.
That is awesome to hear!! Keep it up and you'll be cruising the streets soon enough!!
I’ve watched numerous tutorials here in UA-cam on how to drive manual. Your video is the most informative and straight to the point.
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the video on how to drive manual! It was fun filming this!
What about makin a video on advanced manual driving, like for instance the technique used to make the 0-100km/h acceleration official time?
Mattew84 I'm thinking of something like that. It'll be more of an 'intermediate' skill level, since I'm no pro. But there are a lot of fun techniques to share and I am pretty good and launching lol
Lookin forward to it then (y)
Usually when cars are tested for 0-100 times they rev the cars up untill the redline and they just bash the gas until it goes into redline (depending on the car you dont want to be doing that), but using some driving techniques you can shave off quite a bit of time while accelerating.The main thing about hard from-stop acceleration you need to be careful not to put too much power down the rubber because youll lose traction and that will effect your acceleration quite a bit. Depending on the car (im taking my godawfully slow grande punto as an example ((63kw))) you will want to hold the clutch in while in first gear, rev the engine up to about 3500-4500 rpm (in ths case its the sweet spot for torque and horsepower where they are both peaking), then you dump the clutch but dont floor it use about 70-90% of the gas (depending on the car) and as you start hitting the redline or preforabely 300-400 rpm below it, hit the clutch WITHOUT letting go of the gas, this will cause your car to jerk a bit when you change gear and release the clutch and might cause some wheel spin, but have in mind that by not letting go of the gas you will wear your clutch out very, very fast so do this as little as possible. this method applies to slower and less powerfull cars very well, but as soon as you go above a certain horsepower car this may slow you down because no matter the gear if the engine is powerful enough, you will spin the wheels even in 3rd and above gear,also beware of rear wheel drive cars if you are doing this. In the end if you dont want (and really shouldnt) to do that inter-gear gas bashing you should look up your cars dyno chart and find where the torque curve starts to drop in higher rpms and shift around those indicated rpms, again depending on the car shift some time before or after the indicated rpms.
Hope i helped and goodluck.
I am by no means an expert but i know a few stuff here and there and I consider myself a "car guy"
Just remembered its called flat-foot shifting and as i said its very harmful and avoid it as much as possible. Some say its useless some dont. I say it does help, but your clutch really takes a beating. Ive had some good results with it, but it hurts me to do it so i also avoid it as much as possible.
Don’t forget to go strait to 5th gear when taking off👍🏿
A few people have tried to teach me manual but they were not patient enough so I would freak out and quit everytime. Now I bought a manual and HAVE to learn. Thanks for the video I feel much less pressure about being a perfect driver right away☺️
Glad you like the vid! Have fun with it and don't put any pressure on yourself. Enjoy this learning experience. ;)
English Fella here - Majority of us drive manuals, one quick tip for beginners - feel for your biting point, it will become muscle memory and you will be able to move off quicker and make progress👍🏻
Yeah very true!
I used this video to practice on forza horizon 4 with a full rig it works similarly and with the virtual practice it moved to my friends WRX and nailed it thank you for giving me the general knowledge to drive manual (and this is a sign that virtual practice works)
Thats awesome man!! Way to learn with technology like that! That's super cool!!
Thank you so much. I subscribed because of this video. I've been looking to get a manual since a kid and i've just never knew how to drive one. Out of all the video's i've seen this is by far the best. You don't just ramble and stall to get extra time on the video which most people do but yet you get so much useful information in. Thank you so much!!!!!
Thanks for the sub! And glad I could help! What kind of car are you looking to buy?
Thank you so much. You are a good teacher. I’ve been driving a manual for about a week because I borrowed a friend’s car. This helped me improve the way I drive a lot!
Glad you found the video helpful!
Watched this video a month ago before i bought my 2007 350z and I just came back and realized how much more I knew than the first time I watched it, thanks for the guide man, you're the best 👌

I appreciate that! Glad to help you out!
I like the detail he goes into, very informing💪🏽
Its so much easier to just rev your car at 1500-2500 rpms and maintaining it and just let of the clutch slowly the more you do it the faster you get at it and you'll never stall agian.
this was the only method that worked for me and stopped me from stalling when my dad taught me
Your a dick lmao
@@achrafabouras2118 how?
Your going to make them wear out their clutch disks a lot more faster that way. Instead of them just learning the same sweet spot of the clutch point
@@achrafabouras2118 bro the wear diffrence would be marginal at best as long as you dont overrev and dont stay on the clutch on the release, this just a fullproof no stall method for new stick drivers dont c a problem.
I’ve been struggling with the idea of rev matching during this video it finally clicked, thank you!
Awesome!! Glad to be able to help! As time goes on you'll get it even better!
I am 75.. someone gave me a manual yesterday, so…never driven one before but very excited to have a car again.
Oh nice! Enjoy it!
Thank you so much for making this video! My dad has been teaching me clutch on a 2004 Dodge gas truck and I killed it SO many times. Your little description of the biting point finally made it click. I was revving it to about 2500rpms and then releasing the clutch. 😬😆
Awesome! That's good to hear, it's fun once you get the hang of it!
I just stalled for the first time today in my first car, it’s a bmw 325i. I turn 16 next month and I’ve been practicing every chance l get. This video really helped me
It's a weird feeling to stall right? Haven't done that in quiet sometime but keep practicing! It's a lot of fun driving manuals!
the hill start without the handbrake really really helped me bro
Glad it was helpful!
This is old but great. Your super calm demeanor is excellent. I'm overseas and left with a manual vehicle and never really taught or driven a stick more than a couple miles. Thanks brother!
Oh thanks! Hopefully you get it down good!
I actually learned in my imagination.
Not a bad start! Time to apply it to a real car!
I think stick shift is very hard for beginners. I had to do my drivers license with a manual, so I was already busy enough following the rules and watching the traffic. Not stalling and smooth up and downshifting was very hard at the same time, but I felt like a king when I passed the test with no mistakes
I learned how to drive my moms 94 Honda Civic when I was 8 and I was the only person in my family who has never stalled a manual I love them so much they make driving more fun
This video is awesome! I havent touched a manual in 12 years but recently just picked up an 88 Suzuki Samurai with a 5 speed. This really helped refresh me. Also to those who havent driven a manual before or are just learning, practice makes perfect and just make sure you stay safe. To keep people off your butt, you can buy a learning stick bumper magnet and people should stay back quite a bit.
Glad this video could help you get back into it!
All the way from Tanzania, I think this is the best tutorial I've seen so far. Thank you Bro 👏👏👏
Wow, thanks! Thats awesome! Thanks for the support from far away!
The proper way to do hill starts is with the handbrake. It means you don't roll back at all, which means you put less wear on the clutch and are less likely to stall.
In the UK (where 80% or more of all cars sold are manual) the majority of people are taught to do hill starts this way.
Using your handbrake instead of the footbrake gives you more control over the car because you don't need to do the quick switch from holding the brake pedal to pressing the accelerator, so it's better practice in general.
Or you can use skill and coordination. I live in mountains that dwarf anything in the UK, especially England...yet I don't drop back on a steep hill stop. I did when i was 15...but resolved that before taking the final practical....as that was part of the test. I live on a steep gravel private road too...no worries.
Every nation has their quirks of driving. In the US, using the handbrake is a sign of inexperience....probably because in the 30s to 70s the parking brake was an extra floor pedal or a pull out lever like an airplane brake.
My first "handbrake" was my early 1974 MGB...but i only used the handbrake for parking. When in Rome.
@@STho205 goodness. why are you so insufferable towards random strangers? Dont break an arm jerking yourself off.
It's not hard to use the footbreak. You just have skill issues.
Thanks a lot. The last time I drove a manual was in... 2002, so I really needed the refresh on how to do what.
Now I'm ready.
Glad it helped! I'm sure you'll pick it up real soon! Like riding a bike ;)
we where on one of the most slanted hill ever and my dad out of no where accelerates the heck out of it it felt like we was about to do a wheelie. what he does is holds his foot on the break, let’s go of the clutch a little and then let’s go of the breaks and accelerates it so much to the point it can roll back. it’s scary
Yeah that's pretty much what I said in the vid. Great way to hill start without rolling back
Learned on my Nismo 370z and I've never driven another manual car lol it's definitely an experience every time I hop in the car that's why I love it!
Very nice!
Good stuff man. Just don't teach how to float gears.
you sir have been blessed with that car. I have to rev my shit up to 2.5 k to get it going a bit ahhaha
nukexD You need more rpms on a hill
Ever drifted with a low-power?
Great video! I’m learning right now since I just bought my first manual car (WRX) and it looks like I’m doing everything right! Thanks for the tips man
Good luck! Glad I could help!! The WRX is a great car to learn on, the clutch takes some getting used to, but keep practicing!!
love your pfp
Most informative. Thank you.
U explained it so well, thanks for your work
You are welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thansk brother! I'm considering a Miata standard and really think this helped a lot! forward, practical and well instructed!
Glad it helped! The Miata is such a fun car and definitely worth it to get the manual! Have fun with it!!!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yep I purchased it about a month back. The most fun car I’ve ever driven, even more so than my wrangler
First video which helped me thanks
I am currently trying to learn stick, and this has been the best video yet👏🏽
You got this! Glad to help! Here is anew vid I made on this. ua-cam.com/video/unqmHnTrjAs/v-deo.html
Excellent Summary - Re-aquatinting myself with a manual transmission after about 25 yrs of being in autos..
Your tips are extremely helpful! Love the channel!
Glad to help!! Thanks for the support! What manual are you back in!?
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Beater Honda Civic :) but looking at a GR86 eventually
Bro made it so simple. Best instructional video
Jay Hussain it’s simple! Just learn master clutch and you good to go
Beautiful car ! I remember I drove my friends manual mustang like fifteen years ago . Once I got moving I was fine . It’s just the starting that was hard for me .
Yeah that's usually the hardest part about driving a manual! Have you been in one since!?
I’ve had my license for 11 years and never had a reason to learn, decided I would just buy a manual car and teach myself with a little help from UA-cam
Stalled a few times, otherwise so far so good
No turning back now
Good luck! Driving a manual is a lot of fun!
Thank you. The part about not stalling was what i been looking for. I do the second one, with the regular brake. But i wasnt sure if it was okay ha. Just got my first manual car and i been learning on my own. Very well made video brotha.
I have been driving a clutch tractor since 11 and it’s pretty easy getting used to a car
This is a very good explenation!!
Thanks man I just got a Mazda rx7 im just happy to get my hands on one and I’m trying to learn manual since I’ve only been using autos for half my life I really needed this video thanks!
Straight up UA-cam Certified now. Thanks for that! I got my license almost 20 years ago, NEVER got the hang of driving a manual transmission. Never had the ideal teacher. I just realized the whole concept had been so stigmatized for me. Said teacher doesn't want a noob grindin or "burnin" out their clutch, whatever the f*** that means. lol! I just decided to never stall it again by disassociating from the concept all together!!!
I have definitely missed out on a few chances to drive some cool cars because of my inability to grasp what the gears were actually doing behind the scenes. So, thanks for posting this all calm like so I can pause and rewind it while reminding myself what the mechanisms and do dadds are doing behind the scenes. I took some mental notes and finally got the boyfriend to stop trying to teach me, and just let me try in silence.... SLOWLY, and step by step.... Anxiety much!!!!! thanks again:)
I drive a manual I can’t drive automatic (I can but I’ll fall asleep)
on the highway manuals drive almost the same with automatics. If you have cruise control you only need to steer the wheel.
good luck in traffic
Hahahaha i understand how boring it gets you. Youd better buy self-driving car 😂
Oana Denisa lol that’s being lazy that’s why Americans are fat “good luck in traffic”
@@highvibes4203 i was ironic, you know what irony is?? i'm sure you do
I always overthink that i might accidentally push the gas pedal too much
Comes with practice. Just gotta feel it out and over time you'll know it perfect
You get it eventually, just takes a lot of practice. One you have it though, it's just like riding a bike, you will always have it
@@JasonGroom today i baught a super nice Saturn sky manual and don’t know how to drive it and these comments kinda helping me let’s hope my money doesn’t go to waste I really like this car
@@zachhdrake9722i’m curious if u still have it and like it a year later?
Even though I know how to drive a manual (at least I used to, it's been quite a while) this video taught me a lot that I didn't know from my driving lessons.
Also this guy looks like a pretty great fellow who is great to hang around, just got this vibe off this vid.
Oh nice! And thanks man ;)
i know this vid is 6 years old, but a tip for anyone having trouble hitting the 3rd or 4rd gear. If you're in second. You can just hit the clutch and push the stick between 1 and 2 then let go. It will automaticly center itself so you just gotta hit the cluch again and push it forward into 3 or down to 4
Dude showing how a stick shift works as if its some kind of a spaceship. Automatic gear box is a luxury in Eastern Europe 😃😃
mskitaeca I live in the US, people are just lazy here lol
Mitchell Permenter not really it’s just that everyone is already used to auto
Hey, great video. I drove a manual for the first time today. I'd say it took about 15 min to get the hang of it but I'm nowhere near good yet. Your video helped a lot. Thanks.
Glad it helped! Thats sooo awesome! Keep it up and you'll be a pro in no time!
Hii bro I’m so young (12) but my dad and brother drive stick and it’s so satisfying and now I know I’m gonna make my dad proud:D
Awesome! Manuals are a fun driving skill to learn!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed yea my older brother, dad, and mom all drive stick or know how to when ever my big brother takes me out on his car I like to look on how he shifts like clutch in second and third and fourth and he takes turns in neutral and when he downshifts it’s so cool:D
My dad had a old 92 Ford Ranger. I thought I'd learn how to drive manual on that but he got rid of it in 2001, and got an F150. Fast forward to 2009, I'm working at a Ford dealer as a detailer. I never driven a manual, and they come to me with an old Saturn. They wanted it just to give it a quick cleanup to auction it off. It was a manual. I tried to vaguely remembered how my dad worked his feet. It took me a few minutes, but I taught/remembered how to drive a stick. (I worked the Tues-Saturday shift). Later on that year, the owner of the place had himself, his second and myself go to a car show, with a Shelby GT 500, a normal Shelby and a Billet version. I'm still kinda new at manual, and they took a road that had a steep hill. Fortunately I didn't stall on it (as I just quickly went from break to gas), but I was in second gear going 40 mph trying to keep up with them (editing, for reference, it was a 25 zone). Fun times! I do really wanna get a manual, but we'll see what the future holds.
This seriously helped. I still need to work out letting off the gas/ clutch, but this helped with it 👌
Nice, you got it!
the worst part of driving manual or automatic is that some people behind you stop very close to you. Rule of thumb is: Always give cushion space, even at a stop. You never know when someone behind you might hit you then push you into someone else.
Very true. At least knowing that, you'll quickly learn how to not roll back in a manual
Best instructional video so far ! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! What are you learning to drive?
