1) Use the handbrake technique if you are a beginner. Apply the handbrake, put into reverse gear and slowly release the clutch until the biting point and gently accelerate, at one instant, the car will start vibrating, then immediately release the handbrake. Just remember, don't be too hard with the accelerator. The car generally wouldn't roll forward in this case. It should work without stalling, just requires some practice and technique. 2) If you have a good hang of the clutch control, you shall try the half clutch method, you need not require the handbrake in this case. Put into reverse, hold the brake and clutch tight, then gently release the clutch upto the biting point and hold the brake. At one point, the RPM of the car would increase and you can feel the car vibrating, then immediately release the brake and accelerate. This should also work, but it requires a proper control without stalling as well as rolling forward. Both are good methods, but the second one is much preferred if you are on reverse traffic.. Practice makes you perfect buddy : )
U explain things really well mate, amazing channel as im going for auto to manual liscense conversion! Ive had 4 hours of lessons so far, so watching these videos in between helps so much! Thankyou 🙏👏
@@ZONDOdriving probably clutch control- as an auto driver ive been used to modulating the brake pedal to creep forward or perform manoeuvres/park etc. Now i gotta try and get used to using the clutch and gas for creeping 🥲
I dont have a handbrake. I have a 21 camaro 6 speed and the brake is a small little button. I burned my clutch reversing on a really steep hill. Too much gas and not enough letting off the clutch. If i let off the clutch even to the biting point, the hill was still so steep that the car was rolling forward, even with enough gas. So my question is how the hell do i do that without burning clutch lol. Ive been driving stick only half a year and ive got everything down but that.
If I have to reverse up a really steep hill, I try not to do it for too long because I can hear the clutch working very hard. In your situation, I would make sure I haven't got too much gas on, just enough for it to be like a supporting act in the background. Maybe take some breaks in between so that you're not constantly on the biting point.
The other day i was driving with a friend and i got my licebse just recently, we had to go up a very steep hill in reverse to park, he said later that I was putting too much strain on the clutch and that i had to use the gas pedal more but I felt like if i were to put more gas on it I'd be going too fast to park, the car was vibrating a lot though
Don't think that gas = more speed in scenarios where finessing the clutch is involved. You could rev the car at either 1k or redline and let out the clutch just a bit and you would move at the same rate. Slipping the clutch is not good, but it allows for controlled and much more precise movement. If you need to move backwards up an average-sloped hill starting off from a standstill, you typically wont need more than 1-2k revs aslong as you engage the clutch more than what you probably are now.
