- HOW TO DRIVE STICK SHIFT
First, we’ll show you the general principles behind the clutch and gear stick without getting too deep into technical details. Then let’s jump into my Mercedes and practice driving stick shift.
PART 1: PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE CLUTCH AND GEAR STICK
THE ROLE OF THE CLUTCH
* Here’s the ENGINE. Its job is to produce power.
* Here’s the TRANSMISSION. Think of it as a powerful set of gears. Its job is to change the gears so that the car can efficiently use the engine power and increase your car speed.
Now imagine trying to change the blades of a saw. You wouldn’t do it while the saw is running, right? It’s similar for a car. In a running car, the engine spins all the time. How can we slow down the gears and change the gears - without turning off the engine? Quick answer is that the engine and transmission need to be temporarily disconnected.
That’s what the clutch system is for. The clutch allows us to change gears without stopping the engine - because it temporarily disconnects the 2 systems.
In an automatic car, this process is taken care of for you. But in a manual car, you have to manually disconnect the engine and transmission. That’s why we have this third pedal, which is the CLUTCH PEDAL, here on your left.
Also in a manual car, you have to manually shift gears to change speed or drive in reverse. That’s why we have the GEAR STICK. It’s connected to the transmission.
THE GEAR STICK
Here’s our gear stick. The gears are numbered, and it’s easy to understand where to move the stick to shift gears. Just follow the lines.
* NEUTRAL is when the gear stick is in the middle. You’re in Neutral when you can freely move the stick from left to right.
* Here’s REVERSE. Most cars require an extra safety measure to shift to Reverse. You’ll need to refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for the specifics for your car.
* These numbered gears are for different speeds when you’re driving forward. 1ST GEAR is for low speeds, like when you’re pulling out of a garage or parking lot. The higher the number, the higher the speed.
* But where’s P for Parking? Gear sticks in manual cars don't have a parking gear. That’s why you must always engage the EMERGENCY HANDBRAKE whenever you park.
Now you understand why we need the clutch and gear stick. We’re ready to discuss a few tips, before we dive into how to drive a stick shift.
* Always use your LEFT FOOT whenever you press the clutch pedal.
* Let’s find the FRICTION POINT on the clutch pedal. Try pressing the clutch when the car is parked. You’ll notice it’s fairly smooth at first. But as you press further, you’ll feel a slight resistance and you’ll need a little more muscle to press the rest of the clutch in. That part of the clutch - where you feel resistance - is where the clutch is disconnecting and connecting the engine and transmission.
* It’s ok to press the clutch immediately to disconnect the engine and transmission. But when you let out the clutch to reconnect them, make sure to ease off the clutch slowly. Otherwise if you release the clutch suddenly, the car will jerk or stall, especially when you’re in in 1st Gear.
* Always press the clutch first before you shift gears.
To summarize, here’s the general sequence of action, when dealing with the clutch and gear stick:
1. First press the clutch all the way in
2. Then shift gears
3. Slowly ease off the clutch within the friction point, as you gradually press the gas
PART 2: HOW TO DRIVE STICK SHIFT
Now let’s practice driving stick shift on a flat and empty parking lot.
STARTING IN NEUTRAL
1. CLUTCH in all the way and shift to NEUTRAL
2. START the ignition

This video helped me
Thank you ~ ~^^
Glad it helped!
Scotty Kilmer's channel brought me here, great video and amazing information
Thanks for the invitation to jump into Mercedes! :)
Great presentation, great video, superb 3d, voice actor and music - everything!
Wish all car driving videos was of this quality!
Scotty Kilmer channel has point me here! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
4:24 So, where is the driving on a hill video? Great animation btw
one of the best channel i have ever seen........ you are the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Save the stick shifts! 2004 Toyota Echo here :)
This is a great tutorial. I wish my dad had taught me how to drive a manual. (also, Scotty Kimmel sent me!). :)
Scotty Kimmel sent me! Great video. Wish I had seen something like this when I was 1st learning to drive.
Kilmer no? :D
Same here. I never had helpful videos like on this channel. I learned it all by trial and error.
Missed out important point. You shouldn't shift to neutral immediately when wanting to come to a stop. Using engine braking is recommended, a.k.a don't shift to neutral until you're close to idle speed.
Wow I’m amazed by the details of your animation. I wish you can make a video explaining how to do these animations 😃
this video helped me from all of my issues with standards. thank yo so much jimi ( i heard this channel from scotty, but i’m definitely subscribing now).
Definetely deserves more views.
Great video
Thank you.
I just saw your video.
I would like to learn how to drive a manual transmission.
I think that is a very important skill to have.
This is such a helpful video! To understand how to drive a manual, first you need to know how it all works!And the way you explained it was amazing! Thank you so much!
Glad you found it helpful! And thanks for commenting.
@@JimiMoso Thank you for uploading! And please keep it up! :)
Scotty sent me here! I subscribed too.
Thank you very much - and to Scotty too! :-)
Could you please make a companion to this one. How to drive an Automatic car?
Your videos are great. Under rated channel for sure. I hope your channel gets more traffic.
I hope so too!
Scotty sent me. The animations and script are clean and professional, congrats bro! Dont quit making videos, like i did
Thanks so much!
I wish I had this video when I was learning to drive stick shift years ago! It would’ve helped me learn faster!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent rendering of the gearbox! Also I'd drive a mustang.
Thank you !
I love the clutch pedal sound, exactly as my car! And tutorial is really professional. Is this a certain teaching method?
Beautiful video, I already know this but I feel it's a great explanation. I'll show this to my kinda when we'll have manual electric cars in 20 years 😂😂😂
the best tutorial ever made !!! keep it up
Glad it helped!
@@JimiMoso yeah it really did , most tutorials were only the use of clutch , not really complete in details
Well done tutorial. I'm in my mid-60's and learned to drive at 15 in a '67 VW beetle with 4spd manual. Since then I've always owned & driven at least one manual transmission vehicle. They're cheaper to buy new or used, cheaper and easier to maintain, more durable than automatics (as long as you know how to use the clutch properly), and they are much more fun/interesting to drive - except in stop & go traffic. And unlike modern electronics and smart phone apps, using a manual transmission is something this old boomer can still do well which most under-30 year olds have never mastered, or perhaps even attempted.
ive seen other vids and this one explains it the best. This really helps a lot 👍🏽
Awesome, thank you!
Manual transmission is the best and will always be the best!
Scotty brought me here
Iv been driving manual 30 years as in u.k. most cars are manual!
really cool animations, cudos
i like your videos! nothing beats driving a manual ♥️
So true!
I previewed (compliments of Scotty Kilmer), I saw the pristine 3D animation and explanation, I subscribed.
Q: Would a conversion from an Automatic to Manual be feasible without swapping the ECU/ECM/PCM (perhaps solely omitting/removing the TCM), or would rrogramming of the ECU/ECM/PCM be necessary? (I am completing apartial rebuild of a 2006 dodge MAGNUM, but I am contemplating rebuilding/modding a dodge CHARGER in the future--both 5.7L HEMI engines).
Has anyone here done such a mod?
Yes, perhaps the inquiry is beyond the scope of the channel, but perhaps not.
Hi Ivan, that's a great question. Scotty can probably answer that one best. Thanks for watching.
You would need to swap the ECU because every car made after 1990 uses electronic fuel injection. unlike a carburetor, EFI uses stored Air/fuel ratio data from the ECU to determine how much fuel to inject given the RPMs/gear/current speed. A raw swap from automatic to manual might work mechanically but wouldn't run correctly without the manual ECU
What software did you use to animate this and how long did it take you to make it? Amazing job.
Thanks much! We use multiple 3D programs. It really depends on specific task needed at hand.
This was very helpful, thank you!! Will you be making more like it? I’ve watched all your how-to’s and enjoy them
Yes I will
Scotty sent me.
Where's the separate or 2nd video that shows how to drive on hill?
Scotty Kilmer brought me here
Rev up your engines!
gosh where have you been!!
Now I understand why someone would want to invent an automatic transmission.
It's still easy once you get the hang of it. I know, it was pretty hard at first, especially since you're afraid of breaking the clutch on someone elses car.
While it takes a little longer to learn, and initially paying more attention to what you're doing, you quickly get to the point of it being second nature. Then you discover how much more fun driving can be with a manual. And that you can do something which most people these days cant.
Wheres the video to lower gear and the video for driving up hill
Did you give Scotty Kilmer rights to use your video?
Yes, it was an honor he posted us. Thanks for checking.
Toyota AE86
Where is the link to the video that teaches how to downshift?
Anybody still alive out there that remembers how to double clutch?
Good lesson, but the music is such a huge noise and distraction !!
im sorry
nah i would just “stick” to the automatic transmission.
Very sorry if i triggered someone
tiktok brought me here anyone else? 😭
Great video
