Great clip. Thanks
Hey bro I just bought an ecoboost mustang and is stick. Ur video helped me learn how to drive but is so heard to drive stick on heavy trafic, my foot hurts really bad. Is there a way u can do a video on how to drive in heavy trafic. Thanks
Literally watched this video because I want to specifically get a gt350 🤘🏼😂
Same 😂
I just bought a 2019 race red GT350. It’s relatively easy to drive stick on this car vs a smaller or less powerful car. Pay close attention to what he’s saying about going from a stop in 1st. That’s the toughest part of a standard transmission. This is my first time seriously driving/learning stick. The first time I attempted it was in a Miata when I was about 16. I only drove for about 5 minutes, so I’m still a newbie. I still need to learn how to rev match downshift and let off of the clutch a little more smoothly.
I’m So Mad It Doesn’t Comin In Automatic
@@YearsHobbies Don't be. This is a GT350. Not a video game. Speaking from experience with a 2015 GT, manual is much more fun and engaging.
@@YearsHobbies It's a proper barrier to entry for posers. Learn manual, it's easy, fun, and makes the drive much more enjoyable
Just picked up a 2016 GT performance package, never driven a manual before but i watched some videos on how to. Drove 3 hours to the dealership in a different state, practiced for 20 minutes and then drove the 3 hours home lol. I stalled a few time practicing but once I started going home i only stalled once in NY rush hour. Everyone thought i was crazy for doing so😂. Been two weeks only stalled once or twice since already feels more like second nature
Ciera Dang! Good for you for just going head on
Glad you stuck with it, props to you.
Fuck you I hate you lol
I so wanted to buy a cts_v with a 6speed but was soo frightened on the idea of buying and not able to drive it unfortunate the deal didn't work out but I still crave a manual transmission
@@arabiantxn You can do it!
Watched this last week Wednesday and bought a Manual GT (first manual) the next day and started driving it immediately.
Great video
Buying a Shelby GT350 tomorrow. I haven't driven manual since I was at least 16 (43 now) so this refresher is great, much appreciated.
@James Langford I've owned an M6(S85), AMG 507 ed, and a Dinan and this is easily the most fun I've had in a car. It's amazing. SO much character, so much fun, it is a fantastic car. Ford outdid themselves. And driving manual is another dimension to the experience.
I leave it in sport mode all the time just to hear that exahust note.
any updates? how's the gt350 now? :)
@@guw0p420 It's outfuckingstanding, and now I've added a K&N cold air intake so it's got a little more "kick" to it when I drive. I also put in a better speaker/sound system since the factory ones are about as good as clock radio speakers. I road trip it all the time and it's amazing. The only thing you have to keep track of because it is a serious engine it likes to drink oil, so every month or roughly 500 miles I top it off. But that's easy.
Far easier and less expensive than zee germans which are apparently made of Infinity Stones according to the dealerships.
Hey... Just wanted to say 'Thank You'. Your How to Drive Manual videos are actually how I learned to drive my 2023 WRX after never even having been in a manual car before. You ROCK!
Back in 2006 my buddy and I were backpacking through Europe and when we were in Spain we couldn’t get a train to Barcelona and the only way was to rent a car. All they had were manuals and luckily I knew how to drive stick. He didn’t so I had to drive the whole way, but at least we made it out. So driving stick came in handy there!
I learned to drive a stick back in 70' in my dad's VW Bug... both my cars today are manual....Kudo's to those who are learning to drive a stick and also to everyone who learned and are still enjoying it.
Thanks, I just bought a GT350R and this was a very insightful video. It had been 20 yrs since I last drove a manual
Low key love this guy, learned how to drive one from this vid appreciate you my man
I am so happy it's such a natural feel too me. Because he's right about it opening up your possibility's as to what you can drive.. And I have seen that where people won't by a Base Model car because it's a manual. So they have to pay an extra 5K to get the Paddles.. People are buying CVT's just not to drive manuals...
Just purchased a 2017 GT350 with 10k miles, it's my 2nd manual vehicle, I haven't operated one in almost 13 years, getting the hang of it, slowly but surely.
There is a driver assist option available on that car that keeps you from killing it on a hill. Try it out
Great overall video. But I would appreciate it if you included more angles of the pedals and shifter.
I agree, even having a small clip of it in the corner as he was describing, still watched the whole thing tho lol
He's right because when I was young thats all we drove, manuals.. Now that I am back in one I am banging second like I never stop drive one! I had to take out that 85lb spring though and go with the 35lb Steeda..
Just found your videos. After the second one, I subscribed. Here's what appeals to me: 1. No Bullshit; no dealing with your personal lifestyle; Lots of important info without having to wait until the end and hope my questions get answered; Articulate, condensed, clear commentary. 2. I'm very interested in the GT350 (stick shift). 3. No stupid commercial breaks. Your videos are like the best, most concise, focused "Owners Manual" for your specific car. Thanks.
I just purchased my own car 2016 Fait 500x it is a standard I stalled in traffic in the rain lol took me some time but I made it home in one piece I love my car I just need
A little bit of practice this was a great video refresher am in my 30s you don’t really forget how to drive a gear box I just got to get Acquainted with the car but am happy I have a gear shift
great vid looking into buying a used 2016 Shelby GT350.
Learning how to drive and I’m trying to get one can’t believe there’s actually a video on this specifically
I learned how to drive manual in a semi truck lol. I gave this video a like to save for later so I can watch it again in a few months when I get my GT350😁My main concern is downshifting in a vehicle with this kind of speed
I believe everyone should learn how to drive manual.
Love your videos just bought a 2018 Shelby GT 350 in ruby red I couldn’t afford all the mark ups while this car was in production got luckily it’s a one owner a 9 out 10 car. I owned a 2012 gt 500 in the past.
I've been driving stick for 2 years but this video is very entertaining
You did a great job on making your video.!! Thanks! They have a lot of cars now with manual/auto. I've never driven a stick. But I've driven dirt bikes, wheelers, and moto's.. They say if you can drive those you can drive manual car and vise-versa.. But I have Subaru with CVT and use the manual often. I know there is no clutch but it's almost similar.
I bought a gt350 yesterday with barely knowing how to drive a manual. Was an interesting 300 miles back home lol
Was it hard? This will be me lol
hey man im coming across your vid a few years late but really appreiciative as i'm going from a t5 foxbody to a s550 car with 6 speed. thanks
"its like rubbing your stomach and patting your head"
excellent analogy lol
"Find a big parking lot to practice " BUT HOW DO I GET TO THE PARKING LOT IF IDK HOW TO SHIFT😔😭
Stall your way all the way over there 🤣 jk I feel you though
I want to get an automatic mustang but I might have to get a manual if the price is right.
Car prices are just insane right now.
Well being a car and gun guy, I see this man often...
Watched this because my friend got a gt350 and he wants me to drive it 😂but good video 👍
you should do this video with a camera on the dash and a camera on the pedals at the same time with split-screen between the three. Not asking for much am I? I learned in a manual because that's what my parents had (66 Volkswagen lol) Now I own autos but it's not a problem to go back to manual. If you want the best anti-theft device these days, have a manual shift.
Those seats🤤 I wish mine came with those, now I gotta drop $3k😂
I see you changed the clutch spring, i changed mine also , i purchased at Steeda
watch this video before i got my 18 gt manual and oh boyyyyyy the harder part for me are the hills 😩
GREAT VID!!! You are the first guy on youtube who teaches driving a manual sport car !!!!
I've been driving manual for over twenty years. 42 years old. Anyways I still love watching videos like this because even though I'm experienced, you never know what pointer you may pick up. Question for you though I was curious about. I have a GT350 as well and just recently went to the steeda clutch spring. Curious if your on the stock spring or the steeda? Still up in the air as to which I like better.
Also a tip man when you made this video you should of mentioned proper seating position. It is very important for the best driving experience.
Great video though man I enjoyed it.
Thanks for the support! And I'm still on the stock spring. I got used to it very quickly so I figured why change it. I don't mind it.
@@TexasRevving I hear ya man, I like it as well. Just hate the first to second shift with it! Its very unpredictable!
@Vapor Connoisseur yea I love the stock spring now. Steeda ejected my foot to much.
Stock spring just takes a little practice and its great. Once you can drive it smooth its the best of both world's cause its so light
I greatly prefer the steeda spring. There was way too much help and unpredictability on the stock spring...it took away from the feel. The steeda spring feels more like a porsche, where the clutch basically tells you when it's time to let off.
Not even gonna lie i want a gt350 but the reason I haven’t purchased one was because I’m not a manual driver but I’m thinking of doing it now
I'm a little late to this video but I am looking to buy one of these cars within a couple months. It will be my first manual car. The 2018-19 GTs seem to allow you to roll forward while In first gear when you take your foot off the clutch and not giving the car any throttle. I've seen a few videos on that.. I guess it's a way to make driving a manual easier. Does the GT350 have that feature?? Because if it does that would be awesome.
great video man
Hey men how to doing?
Can you tell me if Iike I forgot to pressed the brake without clutch at least 50 to 70 mph what the result am getting
Are you usually off a couple/few hundred RPMs when you downshift? I have a guide I used to use when I first learning how to but then I started going off of memory for some points, but I still seem to be a bit off when actually releasing the clutch. Any tips here?
My very first driving a manual was on a 18 wheeler... 12 shifts! And I was just wondering if its different from driving a car
Good video man. I was wondering... If I’m learning to drive a manual do you recommend I buy a beater car for a couple grand (and pay the fees associated with registering the car) or would it be okay to just start learning with the car I am going to get (the Shelby GT350)?
Get a beater first. Any gt350 has well over 500hp and unless you've driven in powerful cars like that and used to it,I would recommend beater first,a gt,then the gt350
nobody close to me has a manual but i want to learn
I learned when I got my licenses.
So i have an automatic now and next year i think i wanna get a e46 M3. Do you think it'd be a good idea to learn in a car as such, or should i get something not as high class so i dont break anything?
I got a Subaru wrx sti for my first stick and it’s worth it, I wouldn’t get brand new because of the break in period + learning how to drive could be bad but a nice broken in car would be perfect to learn on
So, are all manual transmission cars similar to drive ie is there an easy ones vs hard ones.
( is the learning curve the Same on most)
Also How is the GT350 as a manual transmission car for someone who doesn't k ow how to drive a manual
This is very true❗
Wait so when stopping would you press in the clutch then the brake? and would you keep the car in 1st gear?
Btw I drive an automatic at the moment but I'm looking to driving a manual as my next car which probably won't be for awhile now
*moment
You don't need to press the clutch in to brake. However when coming to a full stop you need to push the clutch in so the car doesn't stall or if your RPM drops below 1K you would need to either downshift or push the clutch in. If your going to move immediately after stopping, (Stop Sign, Right hand turn on red) you could just leave it in first gear with the clutch pushed in and brake engaged. This way when you need to move again you just engage 1st and move off. If your coming to a red light take the car out of gear which is considered neutral so you dont need to keep the clutch pushed in the whole time. Its alot easier then it sounds.
What’s the best RPM to shift at for upshifting for normal daily driving?
Around 3k rpm I would say 2800 rpm
@@mickeymousering9361 honestly, it also depends on the car, for example, my 5.0 has an axle ratio of 3.73 and it seems that i have to shift at a higher rpm, just to get the car moving, although i know everybody will have different ratios, so 2-3500 is a good #
Clean
I think others inability to drive a stick saves a lot of car thefts. I'm good with the majority of the population having no clue how to drive my GT350. haha
For my car(brz) my rpm has to be 2k rpm to move. Is that normal?
2020 Corvette has the 7 speed transmission
My only challenge is getting into first gear while trying to find the balance between the clutch and gas.
Johnny Chan just keep foot on clutch then put a little gas then while ur putting gas slowly take foot off clutch.....I think😐
I watched his old video
Technically you can take off without ever touching the gas at all. I'm part of big brother big sister and I taught my little how to drive my gt350. Started him out without ever touching the gas pedal. Once you figure out the clutch modulation necessary to take off without the throttle, you'll be able to easily pickup the throttle modulation necessary to take off quickly.
There are also 7 speed transmissions. I think the
Most people are Idiots, They think I am Rev'ing my car up at them when I am down shifting!! NO.... I am Rev matching to get into 3rd.. I want to freak, and they get on your ass to when on hills.. Either they are Dum about Manuals or it's on purpose because I have noticed unless the other driver is driving a fast muscle car, I get Mad Hate! People don't understand I saved for like 7 years straight! I'm not some young Kid with rich Parents! Or spoiled. It's not like I am driving a 150K Z06... SMH.. And when i was 17 I was driving manual stake Body Truck's with 22' trailer's and backing them down long drive ways.. I born in 73 so by the time I was 16 in 1990 I was on Bako's and shifting my dads truck around the yard, by 17 I was out in a 1976 309 Big Block F250 Lifted with the works, with a granny gear... LMAO..
U talk more about talking then talkin about shifting gears😁
I think the point that not knowing manual limits your car selection is weak. With all new cars now, only about 3% are manuals.
if only i had a manual car to practice with :/
Oh no... We don't know how to drive manual's anymore ? LOL
So fucking hilarious. These millennial's can't drive a stick. HAHAHAHAHAHAA. I learned to drive on a stick.
well as someone who is just learning to drive manual (parents didn't have one so I got my own), I'm learning on a stick however my drivers ed used auto trans so if I didn't buy one and basically force myself to use it I would probably not know how to drive it (I wanted to learn manual and I am getting into cars that's why I got one)
I never learned in the first place cuz I'm 13 😂
38snubby you know millennials are in the 30’s+.. so you’re talking shit to yourself?
@@SirenS550 Almost 40 even. Alot of people mistake millennials for gen z.
Tell me why I'm watching this 3 hours before buying a 350😭🤣 wish me luck fuck me
I daily drive a Manuel
Ahhh hell nah my boy just really said gt350!? I’m out this bi***
First to comment lol
3rd
How to drive a manual? Bahaha oh you millennials...
If you're never shown how to, can you really be blamed?
@@mistamaog it's called taking initiative. Something most people don't do because they are lazy....
@@kjeezy421 And what helps is knowing people who can help you take that initiative
@@mistamaog now a days it's more like force them to do it...which is the exact opposite as initiative...
@@kjeezy421 That's not what I mean, I mean so one can actually learn and practice because most people and dealers won't let you take home a car if you can't drive it back.
