How many people get to say they taught themselves to drive a manual car in a Polaris Slingshot? This should be interesting. Hopefully, this will help other peeps out there that dont know how to drive a manual/ standard/stickshift.

For somebody who never drove a manual car you are doing a fantastic job! Congrats :)

@thetreverpitts 6 лет назад

Roberto Castelli I think he's taking his motorcycle knowledge and using it towards that car. I think he doesn't realize on most manual transmission Vehicles first gear is very shortest boom into second but what do I know I've never drove a manual transmission vehicle I just heard first gear is very short on vehicles

@beelzebub6802 6 лет назад

trever pitts yeah you are right. I learned it and normally aso chase did it you cruise in gear 2, the first one is just to get going.

@erikdouglass4153 6 лет назад

Ya Ive seen much worse, nice work

@PeaceBestill-id3uq 3 года назад

Dude you did great. Not everyone has the guts to teach themselves how to drive a manual vehicle plus you did it on one of my favorite pass time machines. Kudos to you. No negativity from me. The more you practice the sweeter the ride. 👍

@ROKKIT44 6 лет назад

Dude, I feel ya. I had a bad experience as a kid driving my dad's manual which made me avoid them for a long time. I still rode motorcycles that were manual, but cars... not so much. Then about 10 years ago, I got into a 6 speed stick shift and once I got the hang of it, I never went back. Sure, it's a pain in traffic, but when I get into a car without a standard, I feel like Im getting into an appliance - not a car. I don't feel connected to the machine at all in comparison. My only tip for you is to drive around on different roads as much as possible. You already know the basics. Now you just have to transfer that knowledge to different extremities. Side Note: It takes courage to admit you can't drive stick in a group such as this. That gives you 1.75 extra bonus points in my book.

@TheBraps 6 лет назад

It takes time to get fluid, its like anything else in life you just have to keep doing it until it becomes second nature.

@KiwiHelpgeek 6 лет назад

Indeed. It took me about a week to get used to driving a manual. One thing to remember is that unlike a bike the Slingshot, and pretty much every manual car, has a dry clutch, which can be a bit more grabby than the commonly used wet clutch motorcycle used in most, if not all, motorbikes. But once they are used a little bit, they get a bit less grabby. As you discovered it doesn't take too long to find the bite point. and get those shifts looking a lot smoother. A slight difference from what your friend said about second to third is to not grip the gear lever like it is a beer can but to put the palm of your hand on the top of the lever with the hand angled up at around 10-15 degrees, curling your fingers over the top of the gear lever when shifting up. That way you can push it in a slight diagonal direction and it will move into the third gear slot, or the fifth from fourth, a lot easier. When shifting down, again do not grip, but just hook your fingers over the top of the stick or rest the palm and pull it towards to on an slight angle. It will naturally slot from third into second. Watch this guy's gear changes as a good example - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_cbZlhduYJY.html I was going to mention the pivoting of the foot with the heel on the floor rather than pushing using the whole leg but you found that on your own the same also applies to the throttle. That makes it much easier to control the pressure you are applying to the throttle. And finally, just like a motorbike, shift down as you slow down. Do NOT stick the clutch in and just use the brake, especially on longer downhills. Here are a couple of good videos about driving manuals, one on why to use engine braking (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sNbMXJ2_yqU_.html) and the other on what not to do when driving a manual. (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_cbZlhduYJY.html - yes, that is the video I linked to on how to position your hand when during)

@josel8799 6 лет назад

well It actually tool me like 8 months to do it fluently, so you r right and now I just cant drive automatic anymore is boring.

@Need4SteveMoto 6 лет назад

Don’t get in the habit of holding the clutch down when in neutral. You’ll burn up the throw out bearing

@lionelbluecobrakai9096 6 лет назад

Props to Chase for uploading this. Loads of Americans can't drive manual, it's just the way it is. In Europe, especially the UK most people learn in a manual because of the higher quantity of small hatchback cars. Manual cars don't really make sense on American styled roads, but on the narrower, less well planned roads of the UK, that precise personal control offered by a manual sometimes makes them more pleasant to drive. I've been driving manual in the UK since I was 18 (now 20) and I'm still learning the best ways to shift and smooth out my control!

@Gamingwind525 6 лет назад

today its chase on 3 wheels ...

@twistedturtle6654 6 лет назад

I learned a standard when I was 14 and it has made life so much easier. There is a lot of what you are doing that is directly related to motorcycles. You are doing great.

@Myndi78 6 лет назад

I have allways driven manual (10years for a job), and recently got on a motorcycle for the first time and yes - ITS THE SAME THING 😆 Didnt take me 2 shifts to get used to it - thats not me bragging, Im a totalt newbie-on2wheels, but it really is the same 😂

@Myndi78 6 лет назад

I really think this is like when you grip the the bike too hard and it makes it even harder to control. Just give plenty of gas when you hit that frictionzone... Dont be scurred, it wont flip on you - if it spins just push the clutch again, but you need more gas - way more gas🤗

@b_mb4948 6 лет назад

I'd think that going from H-pattern (car) to sequential (bike) is easier... Chase is the other way around - his foot needs to get used to that third pedal and his hand that wobbly stick thing in the middle *;)*

@Myndi78 6 лет назад

Yeah but going to a bike, you also have to switch from foot to handclutch - I honestly had a harder time getting used to the rear-brake on my gas-foot 😄 I laughed when he got nervous about 3rd because it had to go "in the middle" 😂 beginners jitters for sure Haha

@Myndi78 6 лет назад

Just give it plenty of gas and snap-release the clutch, Polaris has plenty of power and he is used to driving rockets 😁😁😁😁😁

@charlesm.8807 6 лет назад

Good morning Chase! Thank you for the free content! Keep doing you and I’ll keep watching.

@EliteSniper-240 6 лет назад

Doing great for your first time. One thing I was taught when turning on a junction to think of the clutch as a pause button so you can just roll round the corner and then use your bite point to control it. Good job chase

@fredmaldonado9204 6 лет назад

OMG 😯 Chase, you're doing a good job on your own. You just to keep practicing with it. Once you get used to it. It's so much fun.

@amospike2283 5 лет назад

I had to subscribe. I spent at least half an hour looking for a video like this one! Apparently it's one of a kind in every way lol

@dekustark 6 лет назад

Dude so much respect for learning manual. I love driving manual so much. I hope you keep at it. Also it's ok to be sloppy at first because the pedal settings in every car are different.

@patrickoregan5222 6 лет назад

I loved this video Chase! Can't wait to watch the others

@shortstuffat139 6 лет назад

Great video chase. The camera angles are great especially the one by the pedals. Easier to learn when you can see what's going on.

@ianthomas3653 6 лет назад

I had the same problem when i first bought my bike. My brain was trained to drive a manual car, so i knew what i needed to do, but my subconscious wouldn't do it unless i was super deliberate about my movements. The best advice i can give is relax, and don't be afraid to stall. It just teaches you where that point is. Also when starting on a crazy steep hill hold the e-brake with the button pushed in and drive as soon as you start to feel the engine pull you a little ease off the e-brake. this allows you to use your right hand as a "third foot" until you get comfortable enough to use the sides of your feet to control 3 pedals at once. I love this channel, and really liked this content.

@lilac2193 6 лет назад

ooo i love driving manual transmission its so much fun, i'm 19 and i drive a Nissan extierra 4x4 supercharged manual transmission. all you do is keep trying and finally it will come natural, i learned on hills and its a little scary at first but you'll get used to it, also im new to your channel and i enjoy watching your videos especially watching the videos with you and yummi and this is my first time commenting on someone's video :) keep it up the great videos :D

@jthompson2214 6 лет назад

Don't forget to practice downshifts before the First Ride. Just like on a motorcycle it's better to cycle down through the gears (assuming you have the travel distance) than cluch-in and brake. Love seeing you learn stuff like this! I drove one of these about a year ago and it was a really fun experience. Makes me want to go test drive it again lol

@luxurytaxprep 4 года назад

The honesty was hilarious & informative. I think I’m going to be the exact same way when I try one of these out.

@chrishernandez4134 6 лет назад

Chase your the man... how I learn is by feel... didnt really look at th4 cluster... just learn by feel and then kind of did quick little stabs of the gas to keep the revs off

@JeremyR1 6 лет назад

Best way to learn how to go to third gear is to think in your head your pushing the gear shifter straight towards the dash. Good job man! Hope this trip helps, it helped me when I was learning years ago

@monkeyboyagd 6 лет назад

Great job Chase, you're a lot better than me when I first started. One tip for starting off on a hill, apply the handbrake (parking brake) and get the clutch at the biting zone, then add a bit of gas, you should feel the vehicle wanting to move, then let go of the parking brake and then you shouldn't roll backwards ☺ good luck

@zarins92 6 лет назад

Didn't read if anyone commented this. For uphill starts, IF Polaris has a proper hand brake, do as follows: when stopped on an incline, pull your handbrake, and let the weight of the vehicle rest on it. Afterwards, disengage clutch, put it in first gear, and start engaging clutch alongside with accelerator pedal. DO THIS SLOWLY, as we all have noticed you don't have a prior experience with a manual gearbox. At some point you will start to feel your vehicle wanting to move on, and, at that point, gradually disengage hand-brake while giving it more revs with your right foot. Might sound a bit difficult, but, in a controlled environment you can train this to a very good level. Keep up the good work, greetings from Estonia

@cliff8675 6 лет назад

Similar to my introduction to a stick. Told my parents I was going to see my girlfriend. Dad told me to "take the truck", a Ford Ranger with a 4 speed. I had never driven a manual car (truck) in the year I had been driving, so he rode with me to the main road. We stopped twice on hills (about like the ramp) and I had to start without rolling back. At the main road, he got out, told me to be home by 11, and walked the mile back to the house. Thus ended the lesson.

@npxmnpxm 3 года назад

Cheers to your honesty. (Driving a stick is something everyone should have to learn---before they are gone forever.)

@michaeljenkins6682 6 лет назад

I learned how to drive a manual by buying my Miata and driving it home (50 Miles). Just watch a few RU-vid videos they really help and before you start driving do exactly what you did put it in first and find the friction zone a few times. Then it’s just learning techniques to make it a smoother ride whatever works for you. Just have confidence and you got it! :)

@aTravisD1 6 лет назад

Good job. 1st gear is for taking off from a stop not cruising. 2nd is your cruising gear. Careful riding the clutch, fastest way to burn it out. Love watching people learn new skills.

@slygaming1282 6 лет назад

I learned how to drive a manual in a 1978 jeep cj7, Chase when u are on a hill I found it useful if u have your foot half on the break and have on the gas it makes it eaiers in the transition and so you don't roll back

@adonique 6 лет назад

For a first timer, you're doing really good. A quick tip....As a beginner, when starting on a hill, apply the e-brake (that will prevent rolling back), find friction point of the clutch and because you're on a hill you'll have to apply little bit more gas than you would on a flat surface. Try doing that a few times until you're comfortable with starting on a hill then you can try it without the e-brake.

@dethsteptrr5662 6 лет назад

Seen many tips around the comments section but im just gunna leave mine anyway. 1: The school way is to use handbrake on the slope. Keep your thumb depressed on the handbrake button so it does not catch on the clicky locks and you can slowly release the handbrake once you have enough RPMs. The badass way of doing it is to use footbrake, quickly switch to throttle, giving it the right amount of RPMs and release the clutch to the exact start of the biting point then slowly release the clutch more while maintaining the throttle. Remember not to give too much gas or you'll look like a noob and not throw the clutch or you will stall. Be careful if there's a car behind or you'll get into a bad situation. 2: Left foot doesn't leave the clutch pedal in gear 1. You only use gear 1 to move off and almost immediately gear up. A good gauge when to go in gear 2 is once you feel you are going fast enough to release the clutch fully without stalling. 3: As you said, pivoting your foot makes it easier but also means you have less range of motion. It still works especially good for gear 1 but once in higher gears you might not be able to release the clutch fully thus burning the clutch. 4: Throttle slightly before finding the biting point.

@kajnrider9598 6 лет назад

Your doing a great job for your first time Chase 👌👍

@BIKEGEARMOTOVLOG 6 лет назад

What I want to know is how did you get it to the parking lot???

@boazmckoy1060 3 года назад

The truck probably dropped it off there

@PeaceBestill-id3uq 3 года назад

🤣🤣🤣👍

@kylegier 4 года назад

Nice video! The way that helped me the most was hitting the gas the same time as releasing the clutch and it’ll grab a little easier

@fonkdasnyguh 6 лет назад

Chase here's a huge tip that nobody told me when I was learning to drive a car: when doing any clutching with your left foot, take you foot up off the floor. Don't rest your heal on the floorboard. It will give you a ton more clutch control because you can use the strength and stability of your leg and foot together instead of just your foot and toes. It makes a big difference, especially at first. Once you have the muscle memory embedded and no longer have to think about where the clutch catches and this and that and finally find yourself clutching without thinking about it you can be more lazy about it. I rode bikes since I was four and didn't drive a manual car for a long time until I finally bought a manual. Same scenario as you. You're doing great though man,. Don't worry too much when it's not perfectly smooth, it comes with practice just like anything else.

@lvcsslacker 6 лет назад

smooth comes in time. you're doing good! 2nd to 3rd typically has a thing that shoves the shifter over to the 3rd gear position.

@LuminousBox 6 лет назад

Chase, when you’re hill starting use your hand break, and pop your feet on the throttle and clutch.. build the revs up and theh bring the clutch up. You’ll feel the engine drown out a touch, drop off your hand break and move forward without any movement back!

@andr9285 6 лет назад

It's fun watching these videos of people learning to drive manuel. When coming from a country where it's mandatory to take a driving licence in a car with a manual transmission. And where 81% of new cars sold are with a manuel transmission.

@Montgomeryleather2 6 лет назад

• after 2nd gear, any shift you make you can quickly let off of clutch. The momentum from the engine spinning fast and the car moving fast work with each other • dont be afraid to just mash the clutch in to stop when in small areas that are tight and need abrupt stopping. Use those tips and you should be perfect

@Montgomeryleather2 6 лет назад

Also i have reason to believe this has some sort of rev-hang and/or clutch assist that would throw people off that operate motorcycles (its less mechanical and more electrical (driver assist))

@jordandenmark8443 6 лет назад

I remember learning Manual and its tough. Great job!

@44Eflores 6 лет назад

All those miles on a saddle have proven to give you knowledge about shifting. Great job on the manual! *HEEL AND TOE*

@Crillzz 6 лет назад

Chase i think you did a great job for the first time driving a a manual car, tip you can give gas before the catch point in the clutch you can even rapid tap the gas as long as you easy the clutch . when on a hill the rotation of the engine isn't enough to propel you up so you have to first give the vehicle steady gas and then roll off the clutch slowly and when getting to the top cover the clutch because without gas it will stall ( going slow). and sometimes when a dead stop on a hill like you might have to cover the clutch or not even fully engage, every situation is different .

@SpryCude 6 лет назад

Not bad at all Chase I have seen some terrible driving from people in a manual but I think you did quite well for a first time.

@nathanl5091 6 лет назад

Hey man I learnt on a quad then went to a vehicle, similar to you - hand to feet. Since you got the logic down packed you'll have that down in a ride or two. Bet by the time this video came out you got it mastered.

@thaflyingyorkshireman3553 6 лет назад

Alright Chase, 2 tips. 1. Don't coast to a stop. You need the engine to be engaged to be in total control. Push the clutch in about 2m before you stop. 2. Hill starts, use the hand brake (parking brake I think you call it). Put the hand brake on, find the bite point with a little accelerator (gas), hold your feet in position at the bite point, let the handbrake off slowly.

@Nirot123 6 лет назад

When you're stopped on a hill, pull the E brake. Once you're ready to start moving again slowly release the clutch and give it a bit of gas as you're releasing the e brake at the same time, this will ensure that you don't roll backwards into the vehicle behind you. Takes some practice of course but pretty crucial on really steep hills.

@CurtisDavis89 6 лет назад

Not stupid learning manual cars/trucks etc is done best just as you are for learning on a motorcycle stay of gas as long as possible or you will just stall out and get fed up lol great start to learning man I love the difference between the two types of manual driving.

@TimberGinger 6 лет назад

My best advise is practice practice practice. Bring a buddy who knows what he's doing for situations that you don't know what to do or need advise that way you have instant feedback. Practice your shifting pattern with it off so you get your muscle memory going. Keep it up, pro in no time!

@jonasarfwit427 6 лет назад

Top tip for hill starts, use the hand brake, not the foot brake. You will have full control of both the clutch and accelerator. Set your revs to about 2000 rpm, slowly engage the clutch and you will feel the car dip slightly as it wants to move. Disengaged (release) the handbrake and you should slowly move off. Now lift your foot of the clutch and away you go. Best to practice this on the flat first. Also, you should do this at traffic lights. Best of luck.

@davydecoene3801 6 лет назад

Your doing a good job driving a manual ,I drive manual vehicle's for about 22 years now . If you think about stalling to much ,give it a little more gas ,but release the clutch slowly . Uphill you should use the handbrake ,good luck !!✌👍

@airtylerb 6 лет назад

The most difficult part of driving manual is getting it rolling. You’re spot on for learning how to drive stick. If you get in trouble push the clutch all the way in, brake, and come to a complete stop. Also don’t worry about other people once you transition to the road, they can wait for you to figure it out.

@jameslrbrand2002uk 6 лет назад

Chase a a quick tip for Hill starts from a car driver leave the handbrake (E-Brake) on till you have both gas and clutch pedal set to move forward then release the E-Brake this will stop you rolling backwards

@IBatesI 6 лет назад

7:55 - 8:23 I completely understand I've recently started to drive a manual car instead of my bike, thought I was alone😂

@KrAzY3rIk 6 лет назад

I loved the video its great man but yeah a lil tip is just relax dont think about it too much but yeah when you are coming to a stop it helps putting it in Neutral

@cam545 6 лет назад

Great job Chase.

@thebrokenrojin5916 6 лет назад

You got this Chase! If you know how to drive a stick shift, it's easy to transfer the knowledge to a bike and vice versa. You did great though got your first time!

@kristianbishop9850 6 лет назад

A tip for people who are learning to drive, use the handbrake/parking brake rather than the foot brake when you’re pulling off. That way you can have your right foot slightly on the accelerator/gas pedal and you can release the handbrake when you feel the clutch bite.

@velocity8181 6 лет назад

When doing hill starts use the handbrake instead of the foot break to hold you in place while you find the friction zone

@jpheymans 6 лет назад

Good for learning, but you should be able to get the transition quickly and accurately enough to do it without handbrake and without your car rolling back. if not, just get an automatic

@velocity8181 6 лет назад

Jean Paul Heymans exactly but for now he should use the handbrake until he is automatic on finding the friction zone with the clutch

@thewiredfox2691 6 лет назад

Jean Paul Heymans - it depends on traffic and the angle of incline. If some d-bag is on your bumper on a steep hill, hand brake is almost necessary.

@jpheymans 6 лет назад

The Wired Fox not really, if your car is strong enough to go up the hill, it is possible to get it moving without pulling back at all with just proper clutch play. Where I live, we are just making the transition into automatic being more common, and a large portion of the population drives a manual. If you look at an average hill launch (i.e. with a stop sign) most people will move less than 2 inches, anf that is without the jerk of releasing the handbrake in a lot of cases. Then you see bus drivers (99% of buses here are manual) who don't move an inch back any time. The trick is to hold the car with the clutch "halfway in" while you quickly but very smoothly transition to the gas. It takes a lot of practice to do it without damaging the clutch and without stalling or pulling back, but it is definitely possible.

@josel8799 6 лет назад

yeah but there are times when you cant do all the handbrake process, lets say umm you are in line for something and your r in a hill, you have to do it quicklu without the handbreak

@DJMotoVlogs 6 лет назад

Good job Chase! Keep in mind in a car its not good to keep the clutch pushed in for a long time like a bike with a wet clutch. If you are at a red light throw it in neutral.

@RavagerVG 6 лет назад

my sister is trying to learn how to drive stick, and i'm not comfortable with teaching her how to drive (she does not seem to get it) , but after seeing Chase teach himself how to drive i now believe anything is possible

@MrChazOMatic 6 лет назад

The best advice is to start on a honda or Toyota. They have the most forgiving clutches out there. The cars aren't super fast and it helps you learn the basics. Then once you're good at it, then you can get a sports car and shred tires and do the fun stuff.

@johnnykeller7648 6 лет назад

On steeper hills, you can use the E-brake to make managing them a whole lot easier. Once at a full stop, engage the E-brake but keep a grip on it and the thumb button depressed to keep it from actually locking into position; you're now holding the car on the incline with the parking brake. Keep the clutch depressed (disengaged), move your right foot off from the break pedal and over to the accelerator (keep the E-brake held in position with the thumb button depressed). When you want to go up the hill, feed the engine some RPM's with the accelerator, gradually let the clutch out and when you feel it start to grab, let the E-brake down slowly in tandem until fully disengaged. Think of it like a "rub your tummy and pat your head kinda thing". The HARDEST thing for me first time doing steeper hills in a stick was syncing my left leg and right arms motions smoothly. I was just over thinking it. Let your inner Shia out "JUST DOOOO IT!!!" Driving a stick is like swimming or riding a bike; once you get the hang of it...it's almost as unconscious as breathing.

@hodgy87 6 лет назад

more than happy to come and teach you Chase, in return for a free trip over of course ;)

@MrNetgearUser 6 лет назад

i always support when someone learn something new.... but as a european which is used to drive manual stick shift it is kind of funny to observe your steps ^^

@sr.salmanr.r.6809 6 лет назад

Try not to get back on the gas too soon, except if you want to go fast. And try to park the car in reverse its kinda a challenge for learner (especially me). Good job Chase!

@Crunchy428 6 лет назад

hey chase when you were driving on the hill i hold the e-brake so i dont go backward and it helps and keeps you in the same position then let it out when you start going forward

@seank1328 6 лет назад

I learned my manual car gearbox skills from dirt bikes. The feel factor of the clutch from the bikes was priceless. Might not be as easy to all. Back in the day we used ebrakes to take off on hills to learn.

@danbrazieruk 6 лет назад

You don't necessarily need to drop all of the 'gas'/accelerator pedal when dipping the clutch and changing gear, once things are more fluid, you'll try and match the road speed and engine speed to your newly selected gear to make engaging the new gear more smooth. Try adding some 'gas' whilst moving through the biting point/friction point for a smoother change, also blipping the throttle before dipping the clutch to keep engine revs up will help once you start getting faster.

@Marty41P 6 лет назад

Like you, I taught myself to drive manual. You did awesome, the rest is a piece of cake.

@dcsportej1civic 6 лет назад

Best tip I usually give is don’t look at the gauges at all. Better to learn feel then try to go by useless numbers. I’ve taped over gauges before because new learners won’t stop looking at them.

@peteyboy6629 6 лет назад

I learned to drive stick, in the 83 Pontiac Acadian I bought. From my Acadian,(known as the T1000 in the US,) I went to a B2200 truck, and an 07 Focus, all stick shift. Have no desire to go back to a slush bucket transmission.

@tomaszchiossi6814 6 лет назад

When you get familiar with a clutch and most important 'where' is a bitting point you can easily go without using a throttle at all. Generic tip for beginner. Slowly let clutch off to the bitting point and add a little throttle (something around 1300 - 1500 rpm ) and you are good to go. On a hill use hand break and this time with a bit more throttle, around 2k rpm is fine. You doing good.

@flaviox1031 6 лет назад

Hey Chase, a small word of advice for hill starts: if you aren't fully confident in using all three pedal at the same time, you can keep one foot on the clutch and the other on the throttle and use the emergency brake or parking brake instead to avoid rolling backwards until you get the muscle memory to use the regular brake ;)

@Rncfbnx 6 лет назад

I started on a 07 civic. Forgiving clutch and when I got my hands on a motorcycle it was like nothing different. Just the hand and foot controls got switched. People were actually surprised I can ride well despite not riding at all. I just told them I drive stick. My brother did it the other way. He rode a motorcycle first and when he got on a car, he learned fairly quickly. Maybe got it 2-3 days earlier than I did. Same concept tho. Good luck chase. Just keep practicing.

@gunnarvanwingerden5872 6 лет назад

When I learned, I was taught to think of every gear relative to neutral. So from neutral first is left and up, second left and down, third straight up, forth straight down and so on. When you think of it like that you don’t really have to worry about looking at the gear lever. I know the feeling though! Sometimes I’m still scared to shift into 7th haha

@libertyroads7342 6 лет назад

When I was learning how to go from 2nd to 3rd I would just press the stick at a 45* angle toward 3rd. I never thought about finding neutral first. A little like going from 1st to 2nd on a bike. But, once you get the hang of it, it's way more fun than driving an automatic.

You did really good for never driving a manual (car)...I learned to drive a manual in an 87 mustang which I kept breaking the rear end loose and hubby at the time was freaking out...Motorcycle is way easier than a manual car!

Chase, you are awesome

@_baughy3532 6 лет назад

Lol. I learned to drive a manual a little over a year ago. The jerking and stuff is annoying but it gets easier quick. Nice job for your first time. You can't let out the clutch as quick like a bike. Follow Yummi's shifting instructions until you get use to it, then you can shift quicker.

@quincythomas3749 6 лет назад

I’m 16 and saved up to buy a car and I wanted a manual but never driven one. Been driving it for a few months and I’m pretty confident in myself. When starting in a hill hold the brake and let the clutch out slowly to the bite point and ease off the brake. If you don’t roll back hold the clutch there. If you do barely let the clutch out a bit more. Once you can hold it still on a hill with only the clutch your golden. From there just give it some gas and ease of the clutch like usual

@g2motovlog814 6 лет назад

Use the handbrake when on the hill, hit the rpm until 4k, let go the clutch slowly and the handbrake too. You'll smoothly climb it.

@johnaustin6649 6 лет назад

4000 RPM! you should be getting up that incline using proper control of clutch and throttle in under 2000 RPM. Easy for me to say as I have never driven an auto, manual for 43 years.

@g2motovlog814 6 лет назад

John Austin You have more experience then I do sir, I just shared what I knew, because I drove a manual car below 1500cc, but thank you for sharing your experience and that will be usefull for me too.

@darktruth101 6 лет назад

I have a 1998 ford festa with a 1.2L engine. I'm not sure it could even get up to 4k. haha.

@SileX406coup 6 лет назад

G2 Motovlog you must be joking... 4k rpm... what r u driving ? a Ferrari? ^^ 2-2,5k is more than enough

@g2motovlog814 6 лет назад

Thanks for the advices, I need more lesson in driving a car.

@ericmetcalf861 6 лет назад

When you move into shifting into 3rd, if you just push up from where the stick rests, that’ll be third. In every manual transmission the stick rests just under third in the middle (if you have it in neutral). If that makes sense, I hope it help!

@Flipoff94 6 лет назад

Bro, good on you, you're doing better than most first timers I've ever seen! I'd say, just get a hang of using your handbrake instead of trying to go from brake to gas transition for the "hill-starts", It'll make for a smoother pull-away on both flat or inclined surfaces. If you use your handbrake instead of the brake, you'll be able to control/handle that "Friction-zone" as you call it, better, since you don't have to worry about switching pedals and timing the gas-2-clutch ratio. My suggestion, go to a proper incline, get a hang of the pull-away, and the rest will flow naturally. My dad took me to the middle of our town in rush hour traffic, gave me the wheel and said, get me home. Nothing like some public humiliation and disgust on dads face every time you stall to get you to drive stick like a pro... Drive safe Boet!

@Dareios4297 6 лет назад

Don't know if anybody posted it already but just in case learn to do an emergency brake with a manual car. I'm sure you know what to do since bikes behave about the same in this case. Just pull in the clutch and slam the break. Only thing different in a car is that you under all circumstances have to keep it from stalling since when doing the emergency brake compared to a bike, because you would loose almost all braking power if you do on a car, if it stalls.

@ghannehNL 6 лет назад

use the handbrake when you want to start driving uphill. one foot is on the clutch and the other is on the gas. then slowly let the clutch go. at the point where you feel the car wants to move forward, hold the clutch in that position and give a little gas and simultanously release (slowly) the handbrake and then release the clutch.

@weswills9929 6 лет назад

You’re doing great man. As someone that was driving standard cars for years before I got on a bike I totally feel you that there’s a learning curve but I didn’t see you do anything wrong especially for your first time. What I wanna know is did you drive it to that parking lot for those shots?

@worty2888 6 лет назад

I've been driving manuals for over 25 years now. They are all i've ever owned. I'm so use to driving them that when I drive an automatic I still go for the clutch and slam on the break or just miss the break petal.

@GodEpix 6 лет назад

Don't worry about being smooth 1st and most of the time 2nd is your torque gears they will be jerky with the gas 3rd and up get easy the biggest thing is to just be confident with what your doing the clutch is tuff it can handle most of what you put it through so just be confident and just send it good job

@chasehill1004 6 лет назад

Once you get rolling you can compleatly let the clutch out and it will roll with the engine idle

@signalfc3s 6 лет назад

Best way to overcome nervousness is just find a slight incline in an empty parking lot and practice starting moving over and over. Gets you more experience with it and seeing as how I'm guessing that's a new machine it will help break in the clutch

@WideLoad405 6 лет назад

Smoothness just takes time and practice. Don’t worry about it so much. You figured out for yourself to just be confident with it. The 3rd and 5th gear shifts aren’t as bad as they seem. Depending on how notchy the shifter is, you don’t have to be so deliberate about the up-over-up motion. Just kinda push it at an angle and I’m a lot of cars, the shifter will do the work. You can gauge how notchy the shifter is by sitting at a stop, holding the clutch and just running through the gears at a standstill to get used to the pattern. Don’t rev it or anything. Jus 1-2-3-4-5 over and over. If it has a 6th, usually that’s a highway gear and you don’t have to be as brisk with that upshift. Just leisurely put in 5th and 6th most of the time. You just need to practice. The timing will come and you’ll get more proficient with the city driving.

@The3Kway 6 лет назад

When i learned stick i put the car on a big ass hill and practiced starting from a stop a few times. Than i just committed to taking the car on a 45 minute drive and through myself in the fire. Never had to learn again. By the end of that trip I was solid and ive been able to smoothly drive any stick vehicle ive ever been in since than (including bikes)

@Onibocho11 6 лет назад

My first manual driving experience was a tractor trailer. Don’t feel bad. It helped me to be comfortable on a bike many years ago.

@pippogt5 6 лет назад

Chase to do uphill start just use the parking brake, engage brake-release clutch and give trottole. then car is like to move but no due to brake, release slow the handbrake and you go without rolling back

@toschbob5 6 лет назад

If you want to start on an incline you can also just pull the parking brake. Though you dont need to worry about rolling backwards. You then get the clutch to grab slightly and give some throttle while releasing the parking brake ;)

@tkproductions6258 6 лет назад

I driven nothing but manuals. Couple tips is do not pivot your foot and use most of your leg. Pivoting the foot will put pressure on the clutch half in and half out and you'll be eating the clutch quicker. Another tip is to listen to the exhaust notes when you can. It's easier by sound on shifting and friction zone. Cars are a lot heavier than a bike so you may need more throttle before going into the friction zone.

@bigjake4122 6 лет назад

hey chase protip when youre on a hill do heel toe so the way i do it is heel on the brake side toe on the gas side ive seen people do heel on the gas side and toe on the break side if you rock your foot from gas to brake you can time it so its smoother In bike terms youre holding the front brake holding the clutch finding the friction zone releasing the front brake and doing throttle at the same time that will limit the roll you have on the hills hopefully that helps man
