Excluding the hill start and I mean more than a light slope. In that situation I use the e-brake to get to bite point then accelerate and a controlled release of the e-break as clutch engages the drive line. Also where I live they like being 2 in off your rear bumper so some roll back scares them so they stay farther away.

Well you can shift without the clutch and be perfectly fine. But that is not a beginner move to do. And trying it very fast while racing will probably blow a synchro. Can shift with no clutch in the slow speed driving easy. Not the best tip for a beginner.

As someone from a country (UK) where most people learn on and drive manual cars, I don’t know anyone who blips the throttle to rev match on downshifts in everyday driving and our roads are not filled with lurching cars. This is a more a technique for performance cars with a narrow power band. The advice on not resting hands and feet on the gear shift and clutch pedals is good. I would add reminding new manual drivers to press both the clutch and brake pedals in an emergency “if in doubt, both feet out”. Also the handbrake (press the button when applying to save ratchet wear) is an intrinsic part of using a manual. It stops the car rolling away when parked but also holds it on hill starts to save juggling between pedals to make a smooth getaway. Many drivers leave the car in gear when parking, first gear on the flat or if facing uphill and reverse if facing downhill. Most new cars won’t start without the clutch pressed fully down but it’s good practice anyway as it reduces strain on the battery. If rolling away is a fear when parking on very steep slopes then turn the wheels into the curb on (towards curb downhill, away from curb uphill).
@BrosFOURRSpeed
@BrosFOURRSpeed 5 месяцев назад
That's what rev matching is....you have to blip the throttle to get the RPM to match, that's how it's done. Some cars have an auto rev match feature to do that for you, but in a vehicle without that feature, this is how it's done. I agree on the next two points! But the button is there to release the hand brake, it's fine to pull it up, hardly any friction to wear it out.
@mad_scientist5597
@mad_scientist5597 19 дней назад
@bobroberts6155 I'm from the Czech Republic and I also don't think most people rev match. But funnily enough I don't know anyone who presses the button on the handbrake when pulling it either. It's so typical to hear the sound of the rachet in any car that stops to park even when just walking by. And yet I have never heard anyone say a word about the ratchet wearing out ever and some people drive decades old cars. I think people count the amount of clicks to judge how much the brake is engaged. I do. Must be a UK thing haha I also think it might be a better idea to teach new drivers that when in doubt, make sure you press the brake pedal first and foremost. I don't think the clutch is paramount in this scenario as it is in normal stops. So what if the engine stalls. Better than crashing because you couldn't find the clutch in time and thought both pedals needed to be pressed at the same time. People who have no idea how their car works even on a basic level are prevalent on the road, and they will believe it when told both pedals have to be pressed at the same time. Sure the engine running could theoretically maybe extend the braking distance a little bit (it shouldn't if one really steps on it) and maybe the engine could cause the wheels to lock up easier in bad adhesion conditions. The risk assessment will vary. Where I live it's mostly dry and not freezing mostly so I think the clutch is unimportant.

I didn't know driving instructors who taught using manual shift vehicles even EXISTED (at least not in the USA), since the purpose of driving school is typically to prepare a driver to pass a test to receive their driver's license. Here in the US you are not required to know how to drive manual, so every driving school I know of only uses automatics and usually smaller cars because they are easier to parallel park (which is part of the exam here in NJ).
@dr.bunterhidenbrobruh5502
@dr.bunterhidenbrobruh5502 11 месяцев назад
... FYI when you get REALLY good at rev matching, you can actually shift without using the clutch. It will "pop in" to gear when you're at just the right RPM for the speed you're going in the gear you're trying to shift to.

@@dr.bunterhidenbrobruh5502 It's really funny they don't teach manual... In Brazil we have automatic cars, but as they are more expensive there are much more manual cars, so basically everyone knows how to drive manuals. Regarding switching gears without pressing the clutch pedal, yeah, it's very possible and I used to do it sometimes in my older car, but if you do it wrong it will wear the clutch, so I prefer to be safe than sorry.

If you rest your hand on the shifter it will wear out the gears and the forks on the end of the shifter plus it can actually cause the gears to grind together. It's that style transmission where the thought of resting your hand on the shift is bad originally is from. Granted that's one of the first transmission designes that was popular. The idea is still there even with the new ones as it does put extra force on bushings and other parts.

In the Netherlands I've been taught (we all pay €2000+ for official driving lessons and exams) to hold the clutch, stay in 1st gear and staying on the brake at stopping lights. Neutral is used for parking with the handbrake. Also no downshifting: you brake as much as you need until you feel the car can't handle it and then use the clutch. Depending on from what speed you want to drive, you shift to the appropriate gear.

@@karamalqussiri6533 Police doesn't watch after that at all. It's taught that way because of the weather conditions for the most part. I have snow for 4 months in a year and basically if you're out of gear in snow/ice you won't ever be able control the spin coz there is no torque available at all. They teach you to stay in gear for as long as possible because a car w/o gear can spin out quite easily under braking, having the clutch engaged equalizes axles and gives you a vector + torque if you ever need it. I can go down to about 15 kph in 4th. That comes from times before ABS and stabilization were common and drivers had to control those aspects themselves. If you don't have assists - good luck braking on ice w/o a spin if you don't know how to do it right.

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I'm from Estonia. When I came to US I laughed my ass off when I wanted to pick a car and in the options they had automatic and PROFESSIONAL. That's all you need to know about stick and culture of driving in the US. Didn't know that like 70% of drivers in Estonia are so highly regarded to be considered professional drivers lmao. We have a special mark on your license if you CAN'T drive stick (if you completed training on auto car only). Check out my comment below too to understand why keeping the car in gear for as long as possible is taught. I'm somewhat sure you're in a snowless state. Also, the tips you've done are for a big part applicable to US stick cars which are usually either an old unbreakable brick you really can't do anything to or it's a performance car and then your tips are applicable. Rev matching is so unnecessary in a 80 bhp car, the clutch will always outlive the engine (coz it's some sort of a 1.2L with variable angle turbo lol), I can do shifts up and down w/o the clutch at all, but why bother if I'm not in a race, just ease off the clutch slowly lol. Resting the hand is ok because manufacturers long know of this habit and usually the weight is held by a supportive structure and not the mechanism of the gearbox or the actual rod that moves the gears is not directly connected with the shift stick at all.

All the advanced driver/content creators in RU-vid sell rev-matching as easy and essential. Rev-matching is an advanced and optional technique. As an intermediate driver, I tried to match my revs today for the first time. Now my car is missing a gearbox, and I don't need a clutch anymore.
@mad_scientist5597
@mad_scientist5597 19 дней назад
To be fair I started rev matching right after getting my licence in my car that has no rev counter, and I can do it fairly well. I think it's advantageous for me and my car in particular and when done properly, it minimizes wear on the whole drive train, hence dual clutch automatics do it. But I agree that most people with most cars will get away with no rev matching for all of their lives. We drive mostly manuals here and I don't know almost anybody who rev matches. I'd wager it's mostly car enthusiasts and older people who are used to old trucks and/or tractors with unsynchronized gearboxes. Rev matching improperly could on the flip side likely increase wear of everything and I doubt most regular mortals will bother mastering it. The other tips are far more important.

The ultimate test for a manual driver is able to go from 6th gear, at speeds of 100 mph, into "R" mode with the R gear. What most people don't realize is while R does stand for Reverse, once your car exceeds over 100 mph, "manually", R goes from Reverse to Racing Mode. Try it, fellow brothers! See the magic happen! :)

So I agree with one and two. Point 3, you're right on keeping your foot off the clutch unless you're about to use it but there's little to no harm in keeping your hand on the shifter except that it's not otherwise on the wheel. Sure there's some greater than zero chance you could inadvertently throw your trans out of gear but a gear selector is a type of toggle mechanism. That means it takes a lot of movement up top to get a much smaller movement down in the guts of the transmission below. If you aren't jerking your hand around while your hand is on the shifter, you're not going to hurt anything. Is it a good practice to keep your hand off it? Sure, but it's not the end of the world if you don't. There are much worse things you can do. The way I see it, as long as you don't ride the hell out of the clutch when you're starting from a stop, don't attempt to shift without the clutch and you make some attempt at rev matching, you'll probably be fine.

Numbers 1 and 2 - if you’re stopping for any length of time you should use your hand brake. It makes hill starts easier and you don’t dazzle the driver behind you (if there is nobody behind you, then you probably should use your foot brake so that approaching vehicles will see your brake lights and not run into the back of you).

@rickconstant6106
@rickconstant6106 2 года назад
In the UK, where most people learn to drive with manual transmission, you are taught to apply the handbrake before you put it in neutral, or, if it's only a brief stop, keep it in gear with foot on the brake and clutch disengaged, ready to pull away.
@E52O4

one thing about #2: totally agree don't sit the whole duration of a red light with the clutch on the floor and shifter in first, BUT also DON'T wait until the vehicle directly in front of you starts moving before smashing the clutch to the floor then slamming the shifter into first.. doing that puts big wear and tear on the first gear synchros. Always try to stop where you can see when the light turns green (when you're not the car in front).. give yourself time to press the clutch and wait a couple to 5 seconds before moving the shifter to 1st gear.. doing this will help the trans last a lot longer. Or if you're the vehicle in the front, or close enough to see when the perpendicular traffic light turns yellow (and you know there won't be a left turn for the road you're on, or you're not waiting for that left turn arrow).. then you can use that perpendicular yellow light to get an idea of when to press the clutch so you have that 2-5 seconds before needing to be getting moving, allowing the front 'half' of the transmission to slow down and match the rear half of the trans, reducing wear on the 1st gear synchro.

Thanks man. I taught myself to drive myself and I lacked the technical knowledge. So, I burned my first car’s clutch. It’s been 15 years driving manual. But only recently did I really start to learn a manual properly. I used to always wonder why guys rev the engine while downshifting ans also wait just a little before pressing the gas pedal when upshifitng. 🤣. Now I do it. I’m still correcting my manual driving. And I still mess up sometimes because my old bad habits. I now rest my hand on my lap, I stop wiggling the shifter also, and engine break as opposed to use my brakes to slow down.

@@RacecarsAndRicefish My brother does that. I usually do the opposite which is leave it in gear and do not pull the parking brake unless I'm on an incline. The reason I always place it in gear is because years ago I pulled the parking brake on a car of mine on an inclined driveway leaving it in neutral and it rolled down the driveway with the parking brake engaged. Bad brakes or whatever, it scared the crap out of me so from that point I've ALWAYS parked in gear.
@cowboy4378

@@RacecarsAndRicefish you can do that yeah but sometimes (on older cars usually) the handbrake cannot hold the car. By leaving it in 1st that locks the wheels meaning that it is harder for the car to role away. Btw remember to take it out of gear before starting the engine again because sometimes i start it and the let out the clutch, if i did that in 1st it would obviously stall the car.

@Pobsta-de7hb 9 месяцев назад
On hills, 1st gear when parking up and the car will roll forward down the hill, if you are aiming so the car will roll backward down a hill once parked then reverse is the correct way. Another safety tip when parked on steep hills is aim your wheels toward the inside of the road (depending on how the car will roll) especially if there is a curb this is good because this acts as a second protection against rolling if there is a brake fail at all whilst parked. Try it next time you park, aim your wheels inward toward the curb depending on direction you will roll and then let the hand brake off, car bounces gently in to the curb and stops. Good video

Nice overview. I may be in the minority, but I don't like parking with the car in gear: if the car gets hit while parked, the impact could damage your transmission. As long as the parking brake is solid, you can park in neutral. Streetside parking on an incline I make sure the tires are turned into the curb.
@MikeLof
@MikeLof 5 лет назад
TL;DW 1. Don't use clutch to hold yourself on a hill instead of brakes 2. At red lights or long stops, Use Neutral and brake instead of holding clutch pedal 3. Don't rest hand on Shifter, or foot on clutch 4. Rev-match when downshifting. 5. Leave car in 1st gear or Reverse when parked. Bonus: Excessive wear leads to premature wear

@mrjohhhnnnyyy5797 6 лет назад
That is because the bikes and big rigs have so-called "dog boxes". Doing clutchless shifts on a synchromesh transmission is more tricky. In the dog boxes, there's play between the dogs which allows you to shift without precise rev matching; in the synchromesh trannies you don't have that and doing it wrong will put excessive wear on your synchros.
