How To Drive A MANUAL - (The Secret To Never Stalling) 

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

william the sk8er Bonus: You will do some mad burnouts.

You do have a point

Basically what i do haha

Sige Himself lol

dopeeeeeeeee

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.

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

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

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

You're exactly right!! Great tip for viewers!

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.

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

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.

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the video on how to drive manual! It was fun filming this!

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?

@@tank2469 2001 Mustang Bullitt

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

Glad you found the video helpful!

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. 😂

Just know that you burn out his clutch, you paying for new one XD

I need to know how it went 😂😂

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!

Glad I could help! The 350z is a fun car, so you'll definitely enjoy it!

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

Awesome! That's good to hear, it's fun once you get the hang of it!

Thanks for the sub! And glad I could help! What kind of car are you looking to buy?

*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?

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.

Glad this video could help you get back into it!

Glad it's helpful and have fun!!! A manual miata is a great way to go!

That is awesome to hear!! Keep it up and you'll be cruising the streets soon enough!!

Yeah great points!

lol thanks!

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.

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

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!

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

Yup, on my tractor

@Donald Trump Move rocks huh? I always knew Donald Trump used to push weight.

Awesome!! Glad to be able to help! As time goes on you'll get it even better!

Thanks for sharing!! Glad you are getting the hang of it and figuring it out! One tip with learning on a steep incline is to use the hand brake so you can focus on the pedals and slowly release the handbrake. It's not needed, but can help when you first learn. Keep practicing and it will become natural feeling soon!

Thats awesome man!! Way to learn with technology like that! That's super cool!!

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 🙂

Wauu good

Oh nice! And thanks man ;)

Wow, thanks! Thats awesome! Thanks for the support from far away!

Oh thanks! Hopefully you get it down good!

Glad to help!! Thanks for the support! What manual are you back in!?

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Beater Honda Civic :) but looking at a GR86 eventually

Glad it helped! Thats sooo awesome! Keep it up and you'll be a pro in no time!

Glad it helped! I'm sure you'll pick it up real soon! Like riding a bike ;)

Glad you like the vid! Have fun with it and don't put any pressure on yourself. Enjoy this learning experience. ;)

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

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?

I appreciate that! Glad to help you out!

Oh nice! Enjoy it!

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🤪

Jay Hussain it’s simple! Just learn master clutch and you good to go

Glad it helped! Hope she picks it up well!

Glad you found this helpful!! Driving a manual is a lot of fun, once you get the hang of it!

Yeah that's usually the hardest part about driving a manual! Have you been in one since!?

Yea some vehicles are harder to learn on then others! But cool that you got it down and own a manual now, the Focus ST's are fun to drive!

You got this! Glad to help! Here is anew vid I made on this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-unqmHnTrjAs.html

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.

Nice, you got it!

Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful! What manual are you driving?

Keep working on it! I made a new version of this video. Maybe it can continue to help you out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c_yftLSX980.html

R is race mode correct :)

@@ryanalmic9353 but remember, you should only use it on the autobahn

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

Very cool!!! You'll get use to it in like 10 minutes haha, I miss my Z, they are fun to drive for sure!

Very cool! Knowing how to drive a manual opens up what kinds of cars you can test out and enjoy!

@@BrosFOURRSpeed definitely, I'm kind of a snobby purist when it comes to cars and driving, so it's disappointing to see so many paddle shift cars and few three pedal machines. Learning to drive a manual is a Rite of Passage between human and machine and shouldn't be overlooked for the sake of garnering a new audience. I feel like manufacturers are turning their backs on the current petrolheads by doing so

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--.

Sweet! Keep at it. Manuals are a lot of fun to drive :)

Glad you liked it! Never too late to learn a new trick! I'm sure there will be some new tricks I'll learn

Oh dang. Glad this could help you out!

I can see that! It’s easier said than done, but sometimes just have to ignore those people 😂

Thanks 👍 Glad you enjoyed this video! Fun to share!

Glad I could help! Keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it!

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.

Glad it was helpful! What are you learning to drive?

Very cool! My first car was a manual Scion tC as well! It was a fun car!

Awesome! Keep it up!! And yeah the hill start trick is nice until you get more comfortable with it!!

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! 🤣

That's awesome! Glad to help! You'll have a ton of fun with the Z!

LYx461 just rev up to 8,000 rpms and dump the clutch = no stalling :)

Sey ello to bald tires hahahahahah redline all the way, and every single gir standing around will think: boy, he is a badass motherf...er

I learned more in the comments then the video

the Clutch pedal? ha get it

LYx461 “Smells like something’s burning.”

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

Thanks!

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.

haha nice! Another perk of having a manual!
