benz merc greetings from Belgium ;)
I was hoping for the tips to starting on hills. I learned late in life and got pretty petrified as a flatlander going to Atlanta and Birmingham with hills and stop lights.
Cynthia Clavey hello, when my younger brother &I started driving , we used to put wooden matchboxes 1” behind any wheel on a HILL , got out start off & used the hand brake, without rolling back and crush that box , on your test , they allowed you 2” rollback Got my license first time around in 1956. Manual 3 speed FORD PREFECT ESTATE CAR , CHEERS 🏴🇬🇧🏴🏴🇺🇸
I JUST GOT A 2003 MANUAL MIATA. EVEN GOING TO WORK IS FUN.
When I was a truck driver (25 years ago), I knew I was tired when I started shifting without using the clutch; it falls into gear if the rpm’s are right. The next stage of tired is grinding the gears.
This is relatable.
what do you mean if the rpms are right? I try to do it and it just grinds
@@moparguy5876 , on the upshift you might accelerate and then bump the throttle just to take pressure off the shifter and let the rpm’s drop 200 (or whatever you need ) then slip it in gear. On a down shift, you slip it out of gear, rev it up 400 (or whatever you need), and slip it in. You get the rpm’s right, and the transmission will almost do it for you. Screw it up, and -well- you know what it does. This was with an unsynchronized eight or ten speed in a road tractor. Works about the same with any manual transmission.
@@moparguy5876 its clutch specific I'm fairly certain a lot of cars don't feature that tech as most people would not learn to use it regardless, my car doesn't function that way and it's a ford.
Hey- If you can't find it, grind it.
When I get into an automatic for the first few minutes my left foot instinctively tries to reach for an imaginary clutch.
Years of driving trucks still gets me, getting into an auto and putting my foot through the floor lol
Yea, I know. I am Always steeping on that imaginary LEFT pedal - every time!
Yeah I’ve accidentally stomped the floor and was like, “man I’m dumb” lol
My colleague has recently bought his very first automatic car after driving a manual for a little over a decade. During the test ride with the seller, he floored the "clutch" before shifting... Except that in an automatic, the leftmost pedal is for the brakes. Both of them nearly kissed the dash/windshield as they slowed down from 60km/h in an instant.
@@Dengar97 haha! I did that once. Borrowed a car, as I hit the exit ramp off the highway at about 100km/h, I pushed my left foot to the floor and immediately locked all four wheels. Never made that mistake again!
That’s how my dad showed me. I was a wonder bread delivery man for many years. When the mechanic had me drive a truck on a test drive he was impressed with the way I shifted with out clutching. He said he’d taken over one hundred new employees on test drives over twenty years with the company and never seen anyone shift like me. 😎 old skoooool
My dad always told me “the clutch is your friend” when anything starts going wrong. Use your clutch.
Sound advice 👍
U have a very wise dad.
I learned that the hard way 🤦♂️ 🤣
yup. if your brake fails, you can actually drop gears, and drop the clutch, and the sudden engine brake can slow the vehicle a lot.
Your dad is a legend

Manual transmission: how to increase reliability by decreasing the number of people who can drive it
Imagine the outcry if being able to drive a stick became part of the class C exam.
@@tolpacourt That would be pointless
The exact formula companies try to get rid of. And so dies the standard transmission
Ikr, I'm one in two people in my family that can drive my car
At this point I think the only thing that would increase would be the number of people sending in their cars for a burned out or destroyed clutch.
I recommend for every manual learner try to move the car without pressing the gas. In Europe, we use a manual transmission and this is the first thing that we learn in driving school. This will help to feel where the clutch picks up the power.
Only works with diesel engines, driving schools use those cars to make it easier on beginners, once you drive an engine that doesn't have enough torque to get the car rolling on low rpm you have to press the gas or you'll kill the engine before making it move
@@FunTheMentalist It works on gasoline engines too....
@@schakoska definitely not on all
@@FunTheMentalist I learned to drive on a 3-cylinder 1.0 liter Suzuki Vitara and the first lesson was to move without pressing the gas. This vehicle has no power and you can move it without pressing the gas. If you can't, then you're doing it wrong.
@@schakoska try that on a 50ps Fiesta, you won't move an inch before killing the engine
This brings me back to the days when I had to learn stick and learn to drive at the same time bunny hoping all over the place.
The tip that helped me is to feel for the biting point on the clutch. When you're getting started, you want to barely have your foot on the gas and pull the clutch out to the biting point, then start giving it more gas before pulling the clutch out all the way.
I bought my first standard a year ago, Dec 2019. I had been wanting to learn stick for a couple of years at that point, and decided it was time. Learning the basics is easy. Getting good takes time. :)
This video was so therapeutic for a new driver that hasn't been able to drive due to a surgery. I've missed my manual so much these last couple months...
No one ever wants to borrow my car. Thats prob the best part of daily driving a manual besides the control the physical clutch offers
I have the impression that autos are sluggish to pull away when pulling out at a junction, sometimes it's necessary to get out quickly. I have never driven an auto because I'm Britt and they aren't popular here.
how about learn to say no to people. this behavior of yours gonna lead to more headache in the future
@@HR15DE what now? I didnt buy my manual 6 years ago because i didnt want people driving it. Its a perk. Im 31 and have had two cars in 15 years of having my license. Two civics both ex trim and 5spd manuals. I let several people drive both my cars even taught my buddy standard on my 6th gen after he got out of the military cause he wanted a manual trans Vehicle himself.
The added benefit is no one wants to ride in your car ):
I don't have ac ):
@@termy3934 because racecar!
In South Africa we don't really get a choice we only ever learn "manual" for us its driving lol

I've been driving manual transmissions for 25 years and i dont know how to change gears without a clutch lol
I taught my cousin and 2 of his friends how to drive a manual with my Hyundai Elantra. My cousin did fine and was driving well after one trip down the road, but he rides motorcycles. The other two never drove a manual before and it still just took them a couple of trips down the road and back to get the hang of it.
Love my car it's just like driving a gocart.
Growing up it was my dad's 3 speed column shift GMC, wrecked my mom's 4 speed Jetta in 87, to 3 AUDI S4's, all 6 speed manuals, which they haven't made since 2014. Thanks Scotty!!!
Scotty we need more mechanics like you. You're a legit, honest guy.
"Can't find 'em, grind 'em!"
I live in the UK, where the majority of us learn how to drive in manual cars. If you take your driving test in an automatic car, then you can only drive automatic cars until you take another test to drive manuals. Taking your test in a manual allows you to drive both though.
Manual Transmission: YOU are the TCU and the mechatronics unit
9:28 "when you're going uphills" SUREEE SCOTTYYY SURREEEE 😏😏
The first time Ive drove a manual was a few months ago the day before my 22nd birthday. It was a 6 speed 2013 Chevy cruise at a car auction. It was so fun. I've always wanted to drive one at least once in my lifetime. Then on my way back I was in my CVT corolla, the light turned green, tried to stomp the clutch and freaked out for a second to realize there was none ;).
One day imma get a project/toy car with a manual, Its not a "fun toy" if its an automatic.
Best video on the Art of Stick Shift. I wish my S2K had a backup camera and a guideline for best gas mileage.
When I learned how to drive a stick the hardest part was starting and stopping. I taught myself with a 5 min how to from the guy I bought the truck from.
Stopping is the easiest, just take it out of gear and hit the brakes.
@@billy-go9kx true but when I first started I had automatics in my head so I'd forget to take it out of gear lol. Got that down quick after. I had a 2 hour drive home so I had it down by the time I got home
@@billy-go9kx if its in gear it will stop faster, but risk of stalling will increase for new driver
bill bowie he said it was a truck, you should downshift and use the jakes or exhaust brake to save the brakes.
@@adamfpv8294 I believe he was referring to a pickup truck. One doesn't learn to drive a Semi truck without training and a license. Pickup trucks don't have those kind of brakes.
All of my car questions inevitably funnel back to Scotty’s RUclips channel. All roads lead to Rome. Viva La Scotty!!
In trucking we " Grind them till we find them"
@benz merc A clutch job on those big rigs is lots of $$$ so guys usually only use it to start rolling. From what I understand these big trucks don't have synchros, atleast not like a cars manual transmission.
Not really. Do you know how much a transmission overhaul costs in a semi? If you have to ask then you can't afford it.
@@VeryGnawty, just shy of 2 grand last time. Didn't wear it out, the pressure plate cracked at 1.5 million miles. And no, the trans does not have syncros.
Grind me a pound for Christmas.
When I was in Truck Driving school years ago, they taught us the opposite of that, double-clutching, lol!
Awesome! Now I can carjack a stick shift😄 Man u couldn’t understand the embarrassment I have had to deal with! Thanks Scotty!!!!👍
This is the best manual tutorial I’ve ever seen honestly, dudes a great teacher
Then you haven't seen many manual tutorials 😄 It's not bad, but it leaves out stuff like avoiding rolling or coasting in neutral, hill starts and partially clutching to stay nippy in roundabout entries/diving into traffic gaps. It's also not a a great idea to shift without using the clutch if you do it a lot, because it will eventually cause gearbox wear that's a lot more expensive to fix than a clutch is.
My dad had an absolute beater Hyundai with no clutch or 3rd gear (my brother was learning how to drive on asphalt and blew 3rd) this was all about in late 2000s and he had to shift with no clutch or third so he showed me how it’s done and he dude it like an absolute pro lmao love the vid
How the hell did he take off with no clutch?
When I drove a truck (years ago), we always floated the gears up and down and only used the clutch when stopped. I do find it harder to float a modern car transmission by floating.
Diesel trucks have a limited range of RPM as opposed to a gasoline car. It's just easier, safer (and probably faster) to just push the clutch, revmatch and release in a car instead of trying to float the gears.
Ive floated every car i own, the only one I didnt like floating was the ford/mazda 5speed truck tranny, those gears were spaced too far apart. The rest, from jeeps to hondas to porsches, all float pretty well. Clutch for spirited drives of course. Never wrecked a gearbox and never cooked a clutch. ...but we old heads are the only ones that get enjoyment out of this stuff...
I had an '07 Ford focus. Going up, you just about had to use the clutch. That little motor was so snappy, by the time it was ready to go into the next gear, you already missed it. Coming down, it wasn't bad at all. I'd drop gears all day long without the clutch. I learned how to drive a manual in an '06 Mack Vision. 330 Mack, with a 10 speed. Only used the clutch for starting out, and stopping.
I turned the volume off and knew everything he was saying as long as I saw his hands! He is good
I love that in the USA this is somehow some sort of amazing thing to learn to drive a manual car. Where as pretty much the rest of the world learns in manuals.
Ah, the old mechanical clutch. I had a 69 Camaro with the Muncie rockcrusher transmission. I swear I had bigger muscles in my left leg than I did in my right. That trans was bulletproof.
Brilliant.....Here in the UK 90% of cars are standard transmission and we drive them without thinking about it. Good to see it analysed though. It's really not difficult.
Don't try that unless your clutch is broken and you're stranded somewhere. If you have a working clutch then use it.
Scott you took me back to my early days when I learned to drive stick. That Miata reminded me of Fiat Strata reverse forward instead of back.
Passed my road test at 16 on a stick. And I maintain that a rear wheel drive sport car, V8 in the front, manual transmission, power to the rear?
Best driving experience you can have! Just take it really easy in the winter time. Lol lost my first car, an 86 5 litre mustang LX that way...lol I was 17 what did you expect? 😁
I have a lot of respect for Scotty and his great knowledge of mechanics and cars. With that said, I will disagree with him on shifting a manual without using the clutch. While it is true that you can 'float' shifting gears without depressing the clutch pedal, I don't ever recommend doing that. I've driven many manual cars and big trucks. My instructors in auto shop and the ones training me on big trucks always said that while it's possible to 'float' gear shifting, it is a fine line between getting it right and possibly doing damage to gears and syncros, on any manual transmission. Sure, with perfect timing, moving the shifter on upshifts at the correct moment when engine speed drops the proper amount of engine speed by lifting off the throttle, you can change the gear you are in to a higher gear. But I was taught that there will almost always be a little damage done to the edge of gears, shifting without the clutch, even in big trucks. It may seem 'cool' to shift without the clutch but you will shorten the life of the transmission. One other habit to get right is to never apply throttle until a split second after the clutch is engaged and not before that point. Slipping the clutch on takeoff is necessary but should be minimized so the clutch can last a long time. Any forced 'power shifting' will shorten it's life also. Quick engagement and disengagement of the clutch will allow it to last a very long time, as well as having the correct engine speed for the gear you want. If you want your machine to last a long time, these tips are very important. Save the manuals! Peace!
In Sweden, most people drive manuals. If you do the final driving test to get your license with a car that has an automatic transmission you get a special note/mark on your drivers license that says you are not allowed to drive a manual transmission car.
Currently in the market for a manual. I really miss driving them. My first 3 or 4 vehicles were manuals. I want to have one before they're gone completely.
For those automatic drivers, manual is wayy more fun, engaging (it becomes instinct), cheaper to maintain and 100% worth learning! Easy too but remember it might take a few days-week to really get use to it and you will notice you get much much better in that time! I dont think I could ever buy an automatic due to how rough they feel and the fact that it shifts when you dont want it to!
Im an auto driver and definitely have thought about switching to manual. My dad used to drive manual so hopefully he still remembers.
As a manual driver, automatic transmissions in modern cars are far superior and "smoother"
My first driving lesson was in a Volkswagen Fastback 1600 with a 4 speed manual. My Dad took me out to the “sticks” and parked the car in the middle of a hill (going up). So my very first task was to get a car moving with a manual transmission while sitting on a hill. Nowadays I actually use my clutch to hold my vehicles in place at an intersection on a hill. No, it hasn’t trashed a clutch yet in many vehicles and many years. I get way more than the average miles on my clutches. My next vehicle will be a manual but so far I have only found one electric vehicle with a manual trans, so I guess it limits my choices in the future.
I honestly recommend learning in a motorcycle/dirt bike first if you can, it’s actually way easier because each of you limbs does something rather two or three limbs doing everything in a car.
In Portugal we are required to know how to drive stick to get a license. But when I really learned the true magic of shifting was when I started driving a Unimog off-road
As a European i'm surprised that Scotty has to explain how to use a manual transmission to his mostly adult audience XD
This is the car I learned to drive a stick shift on. Very easy car too learn on.
lol I remember getting a valet job when I was younger. I had no idea how to drive manual, but the place I applied at was mostly Bentleys, Ferraris and Mercedes cars. I remember some lady pulling up in a VW bug. When I hopped in it was manual and I was like what the hell do I do now? I did the "herky jerkys" all the way to the parking garage LOL! Eventually I taught myself with the same woman's car. Fun times.
I'm glad he did say that you should always use the clutch. I don't know why people try shifting without the clutch. Are they trying to reduce wear on the clutch, a thing specifically designed for this task that likely lives the entire life of the car? I've never had to replace the clutch on any car I've driven.
Scotty, at the risk of revealing just how OLD I am, The first full size vehicle ( not a go-cart or grandmas riding lawn mower ) was "grandpas " 1962 or so basic Ford truck, three on the tree in his cow pasture. I was maybe 6-7 years old and had real trouble reaching the pedals. I was then totally hooked on anything with wheels . I really didnt care how many wheels there were, just let me at it ! My Mom drove a school bus when I was in 8th grade or so and she parked it at our house every day. I took that for a spin a few times, until my sister ( the family tattle-tale ) Kathryn spilled the beans. I got in a heap of trouble over that one. ; -) The only thing I never could master was my brothers uni-cycle. He would ride it for miles at a time. Maybe it just didnt have the horse power I needed. BTW, the Miata in your video looks like a ton of fun. Take care bud...
To help teach how not to over rev the engine while letting up the clutch pedal, teach what pedal free travel is. Have had to float gears to get home a few times as linkage breaks and the pedal to the floor board will not disengage the clutch.
That paint job is a AMAZING 😍😍
I am 79 & I still drive a stick shift. My daily drive is a 2003 Scion.
Living in an Rv a stick shift car can always tow it 4 wheels on the ground
It also does not have a CVT transmission
You have a different body language in both of your hands, I rarely have seen that. Great content by the way. Thanks!
I always teach people to find the friction point on the clutch first and get use to it before I have them start adding the gas pedal.
I took my driver's test back in February (I'm 25 btw) and passed it in my 5 speed 1995 S10!
Knowing how to shift without the clutch is important for example when the clutch cable breaks and I love to skip gears, pull away in second till I get high enough rpm to drop it in high gear, and I have the bad habit of down gearing to brake
Stick shift is the way to go . I love my dodge ram 2nd gen . It has a 5 speed . It's a great truck .
0:53, my first car was a stick. I think it's actually easier to learn if it's your first time.
I'm getting the New GR Corolla. And preparing myself for Manual.
Very good tutorial on the basics of manual transmission driving. Also loved the bonus of spinning/dumping the clutch. Ironic, I am sitting in my candy apple red 2019 mx-5 watching this 😀
When giving it gas ,its crucial to c9nsistently give it gas until after youve fully engaged the clutch and the engine is able to pull the car (slowly, without assisted accerlation) while in the 1st gear.

My friend was riding minibikes and mopeds around the rural areas before he could get a driver's license.
When he started driving cars, he was used to accelerating with his hands, so you could see him twist on the wheel rim to go faster, before he remember that he's driving a car.
Muscle memory is weird.
I'm saving this video for when I get my BMW m3 e46.
I wish I was taught when learning to drive to play with and get to know the clutch slip/grab point, and that in some cars, you can creep in first or second just in idle.
Being in the UK passed my test in manual car. one of the easyest thing to do. hell making food is harder

Manual transmission: it's not just for driving, it's also for theft protection.
*millennial theft protection*
Drew M. Short Apparently I just missed being a millennial, but as a Gen Z kid I feel like I missed out on some of the best years for car enthusiasts. I love driving standard transmission, but it feels like they’re going to die out before long. I’m kinda sad about it.

“When it’s in neutral, it can’t move”
Inclines: "Hold my beer"
Damn did I miss something he meant the engine won't move the car because it's in neutral.
Or get a new car that has incline assist, even in neutral and the brakes off it'll not roll.. it spoils you. lol
My car will roll once you put the clutch in on an incline even though the car is off
@@legabausscarter8042 with the clutch engaged the engine is connected to the wheels via the transmission if it is in gear so the vehicle wont move unless the force of gravity overcomes the internal resistance of the engine. this is why you should park a manual transmission vehicle with both the hand brake as well as having it in gear.
@@Delantho I'm aware. I found the rolling thing out when I was trying to move it backwards down my driveway so I let the handbrake down
One last tip learning manual: don’t look at the shifter while shifting, get used to the feel of shifting gears while always keeping your eyes on the road.
My driving instructors used to joke when he was teaching girls. He said something like this "Why are you looking down there? Do you like stick shaped objects? Keep your eyes up!" :D

Vietnamese Drivers and my Dad: If you drive a Manual Transmission Car, you can drive anything. But if you can drive with a broken transmission, you are a genius
Lollll
Me driving my mazda3 5 speed with a fucked 3rd synchro everyday for deliveries
I once drove on a broken clutch for 3 miles and it's not fun. My sister called me up. It was 1 AM and she was leaving work, but the car wasn't shifting. I went to her rescue with a friend and drove the car home the best i could. I could shift to gear 1 with the engine turned off. Than to shift to gear 2 or 3 i had to now the sync point of transmition. Things didn't go smoothly. Shifting from 1 to 2 without the clutch was easy, but 2 to 3 was hell. At every red light i had to shut the engine to go back to gear 1.
But that was just a broken clutch. Now imagine a broken transmition, god.
@@vitorpavani7125 there is a technique called "Manual gear synchronize" which is very helpful when your clutch is broken. It is something like driving as a constant RPM like 3-4k then when you shift just leave the pedal a little and the gear will lock in smoothly. My dad teached me that technique, seem easy but hard to master
driving without 2 and 3 on a 4 speed right now i just skip em lmfao

ace boogie how to drive without a engine
You can actually drive with only the starter motor in emergency situations
“Scotty still has my miata. He should be done working on it by now. Wonder what he’s up too.” *sees him destroy the clutch*
@de brebeuf and transmission synchronizers
He's Scotty, probably one of the few people I wouldn't mind giving my car to do it
@@timoarrg unless it's a mercedes, bmw, mustang, or something like it, you would probably end up seeing your car get roasted on one of his videos
Hahahah this made my morning
@@ikilledthemoon nah, it's one he was borrowing
Nobody:
Miata: you’re going 20 mph but you should totally shift into 5th
I questioned the same thing. Seems like overkill to be in that high of a gear at 25 mph. 🤣🤣🤣
My na is good at 4th gear 20mph+ 5th gear 25 to 30mpg+. You drive like that if you want to save gas ... my last gear is 5th gear btw
@@modehfy1352 I can get 25mph in 4th at 1500rpms, I'd drop a gear if I needed some acceleration but no way am I using 5th at that low of a speed. Mine is a 6-speed.
When I'm in 6th gear, the rpms are 2000 at 65mph. Real good gas mileage at this rate. Idles at 850.
@@Tsch6373 my 91 na at 60mph is at 3000 rpms 😂 but I still manage to fill up the tank every 5 days maybe6. My civic is like 7 to 10days so I'm pretty happy with both
My 2018 Honda Fit wants me in 6th at 27-28 mph in steady state light throttle flat road conditions. And it'll do it smoothly. Can't accelerate in that gear at that speed but no problem holding that speed smoothly as long as the road is not up hill.
Scotty, teaching people this stuff is messing with my anti-theft program!
LOL!!!
Relax, most people are too lazy and don't care to learn
@@manuelroxas1892 Exactly...
Omg I just just got a Accord sport 6spd and everyone asks, why manuel? And that's what I tell everyone 🤣 basically theft proof in today's day
I know right
"How to Shift Without Using the Clutch"
"Become a pro"
Long time experience, felling the car and then you can do funny thing's including shifting without a clutch.
It feels so good 😊
I had a clutch pedal go bad at night. Instead calling road assistance drove the car home anyway, and to the shop next morning. :)
It’s not to hard
the engine will tell you when to shift.
go back in time to when you were 16...
Make knowing how to drive standard a requirement
That would reduce the number of vehicles on the road by about 1/3.
So many Americans are so unwilling to learn anything.
Make English the official language of the USA!
Like welding start with a stick then move on to luxury. If you know basics the rest is just simple. How to appreciate not take for granted.
Driving standards is required! Cause your eventually gonna sell your 2020 car for a reliable vehicle.
I hope not. I think it’s better if not everyone knows how to drive one. Keeps it niche
Mash the grapes.
Scotty at 7:36: "You don't want to go over 7000 RPMs in this, it kind of revs the engine up." Also Scotty at the start of every episode: "REV UP YOUR ENGINES!" :D
Save the Manuel Transmissions! 💖
Save the Manuel indeed
poor Manuel, save him :’v
Yes, please save Manuel.
I'm so disappointed that new trucks with manuals are pretty much extinct.
Save the Manuel, the guy who fixes my manual transmissions
8:54 "Well you're not supposed to do this but..." Does it anyway 😂
Even if we’re not supposed to do that it still seems really fun to do
The best teachers always do that. I like that because when you have more practice and want to do the thing you're not supposed to do, at least yo know how it should look when you're doing it so you don't harm yourself (whatever the thing it is)
Millennial'a anti-theft system! 😄
LOL
Perfect
Not if they're watching this vid lmao
Actually, if you're gen y, then you're probably in the same boat.
Eh no , because I have the same car as in the video but mine is standard transmission and I'm 27 , and it's been my daily driver for 3 years
USA: How to drive a manual?
UK: How to drive auto?
Plus he's on the wrong side of the car.
kniVes .
I own a Volvo x/c 70 diesel auto and a Toyota iQ with a 5-speed manual box.
The Volvo is relaxing and the Toyota fun.
I live in England.
There are plenty of automatic cars , here, these days; usually with big engines.
I think u mean UK: why would you use an auto?
The MX5/Miata has one of the best gearboxes ever.
Stephen Hookings I’m in the UK, a lot of modern cars now come with auto as standard and for quite a few models a manual isn’t even available any more. An advantage of an auto in Britain is being in traffic a lot, so much easier and more effortless to drive
LePoursuivant makes virtually no difference if you use auto hold on a manual vehicle. I personally preferred manual for slow moving as you have more contro,
I learned how to drive on a stick shift (I took driver’s ed on a stick shift) and every car I’ve ever owned has been a manual transmission. One thing that helped me a whole lot when I first started learning how to drive was practicing finding the friction point on the clutch. I just sat in an open area and searched for the friction point, meaning that I slowly raised my foot on the clutch until it vibrated more and more and eventually cut off. That point where it vibrates the most and before it cuts off is the friction point, and that’s precisely where you need to go every time you shift gears. Once you’re able to quickly get your foot to the friction point because your left leg knows exactly where it is, you’ll be able to drive in real life traffic situations with no problem.
In the UK we call that the biting-point because its when the engine "bites" and starts to accelerate the car
@@Ec1ipse.. we call it biting point here in the US first time I've ever heard it called friction point
Ma man!
That's a good way to practice. In modern cars, if you release the clutch slowly enough, you can get the car into gear and moving without using the gas pedal at all. It's not the best for the transmission in the long run but doing it irregularly or a few times to get the hang of the bite point will help you understand the car much better. The truck I learned to drive manual on was older and it didn't let you do this
Manual transmission is the best anti theft device for the U.S
The "standard" transmission is the automatic. The term "standard" has always been very erroneously used to describe manual when in fact it was first used to describe the transmission you got as standard from the factory, back when an automatic was an option. Now its reversed, the automatic is the standard and manual is usually an option or not available at all depending on the make and model.
@@lowrivera fixed it
I thought so too until I had my truck stolen.
I know it’s pretty embarrassing.
I believe the best anti theft is not owing a civic, number one most stolen car in America
I learnt to drive in a manual at 17 and i can remember the first time I drove an automatic at 27. During the day the car would drive fine in D mode but at night in N mode it wouldn't move 😁
yeah its a bit different with manual cars... on monday youll be using first gear, tuesday second etc. riiigght?
R is for Race mode. If you want to win you put the lever into 1 if you want to lose put the lever in the highest available gear
Looool dad joke
It’s because the car is afraid of the dark and the horrors that lurk at night. Buy it a nightlight maybe?
Learnt isn’t a word
Imagine Scottys customer seeing this and they’re in shock after seeing scotty dump the clutch and shifting without a clutch 😂😂🤣
I'm sure they knew he was going to do this, I doubt he didn't tell them
I wonder if they get a little service discount for letting their car be featured
well as long as you match the revs shifting without the clutch doesn't hurt it at all as long as you don't grind gears
Shifting without the clutch won't destroy anything unless you literally grind the living hell out of the gears every time it shifts
The owner of the MX-5: "Hey who said you could dump the clutch in my car?"
“Most ppl here knows how to drive” ...... not true
Im European and been to the US, most people drive like idiots. And I thought Norwegians were bad xD
Pretty sure he means most of us aren’t old enough or something like that
@@faduddin Nah, I mean ppl are bad drivers that don't know how to drive.
@@danisoful Yeah, In the state i'm in, ppl constantly takes up two lanes and change lane without blinker..
@@youtubeDaddy525 I was driving to Miami once and i couldn't believe my own eyes. Its a 4 or 5 lane road each direction and one guy took a hard right across all lanes too an exit ramp. No wonder there are huge crashes, but then again, everything is bigger in the states xD
Year 2020: Learning to drive stick shifts are an achievement rather than a requirement
You know since the 60s autos have dominated. It’s not a new fad
Sad but true
Agree
Sad.
It’s better to know how and not need to than to need to and not know how. Knowledge is power.
