@@ConquerDrivingHey buddy I have a question I was wondering if you were allowed to undertake joining a motoway I went onto a motoway for the first time yesterday and when I tried to join there was a lorry blocking me from joining and I couldn't fit behind so I had to speed up and enter in front of the lorry is this not allowed 👀
I just recently got my license in Sweden, and I was actually not taught giving the car a little bit of gas. The school had a Seat Leon 2024 model, and obviously it was very smooth and easy to drive. My own car I recently got, an Opel Astra 1.7 cdti diesel 2009, is way more sensitive to the clutch and the biting point is on a totally different position than the school's. I am stalling 2-3 even 4 times in a row because I have not been giving it any gas at all, because I was not taught that; the same for gear-shifting, I wasn't taught to 'pause' at the biting point and give a bit of gas for a smoother driving, so the car "jerked" or "jumped" a bit everytime I gear up and down. Thank you for the tips and for making me a better _and_ a safer driver!
I appreciate your work Richard. I got my license a year and half ago but i still watch the video. You really go in depth of every topic, and i never saw a driving instructor explain what rev matching is, usually they just dismiss it thinking you'll ruin their car
This is the only channel you need if you want to learn manual. Had to teach myself by going straight into the deep end and learning on my own car. Lesson #1: Driving it off the lot straight onto main roads.😂 I didn't know anyone with a manual car and absolutely no one is giving lessons around here and this man was a godsend those first few weeks.
You're not the only one! I'm American, and no driving school in my city, or any nearby cities, teach manual driving. I learned to drive a manual exclusively by watching this channel, then going out and practicing the next day. In 2020, I bought a brand new manual car, a Toyota Corolla hatchback, because I had always wanted to learn to drive a manual. I bought it as a second car. I kept, and still have, my automatic. Anyway, shortly after I got my Corolla, the world shut down because of the "coof." The timing was good for me, because whenever I stalled, the streets were completely empty. I practiced driving on what would otherwise be busy roads, and there were no other cars I had to watch out for.
I have a disability related to driving known as being an American. I bought my first manual car a few months ago, and thanks to riding motorcycles (thus knowing what a clutch is) and your videos I was able to get it home only stalling once. Thanks to your instructions I am getting a lot smoother, though I need to practice downshifting a little bit. I can do it, I'm just a bit slow at it is all. Heel and toe downshifting I feel is beyond me for quite a while. I'll admit it took me a little bit to get over the bad habit of just popping the car into neutral and then riding the brakes to a stop.
Had my driving test midday today, turned 17 4 months ago, passed with no faults. I’m forever grateful for your videos and you’ve helped me and countless other people pass and provided them with a whole new life. Thank you!!
Passed my driving test recently over here in Sweden and I gotta say how helpful this channel has been. Even though we drive on the other side of the road, stuff like lugging the engine, engine braking, shifting gears (like this video!) and how clutches work still translate over really well. Also really enjoy your videos about car maintenance and doing eco runs! Thanks for all the help and the entertaining videos!
Just did my test this morning and passed with 0 faults, I failed my first test due to hesistation at roundabouts but your videos helped me a tonne with recognising when you can go etc, have a pint or coffee on me. Cheers for the help
Hi Richard, I have my driving test coming up on Thursday, and my last lesson was on Friday last week. I got around 7 serious faults on my mock test. I decided to come back to your videos as the last time I watched them was when I was doing my theory test, and so after binge watching, I had another lesson today, and i got those 7 serious faults down to just 1. Hopefully I pass on Thursday, as even though I got 1 serious mark, I believe that I have what it takes to pass. I'll keep you updated.
I am so impressed by your videos and your teaching skills! Congratulations on your outstanding work, I've watched many many videos & of course subscribing!!! One comment I've never seen in any video is about the exact exact seat position. The left leg should be fully extended when pressing the clutch, with only the tip of the foot on the pedal and the heel not touching the ground. The reason I mention this is that I recently got a new manual car, and it took me a LONG time to find the exact seat position. Once I realized that the leg needed to be fully extended, everything became clear, and the precise seat position was finally set and determined! Cheers to you mate ! You are amazing !!
My man, you are SO good. I’m just coming back to driving after some time off and having some refresher lessons. These videos are SO helpful in answering some of those questions I have and getting confidence again. Thanks so much, very much hope your channel keeps growing ❤
Thanks for your content. Passed my driving exam on manual over 10 years ago, but then I forgot about manual cars until I moved to other country and started to drive manual car again. Your videos helped A LOT!!
Hi Richard, i passed my driving test today with only 2 minors. Thank you so much for the videos you put out, without them I would have struggled so much.
You're actually the best instructor, my driving instructor was so surprised by my smooth gear shifts, now I have more tips and tricks to shift even smoother 😁
When driving, I will use rev-matching (usually involving double de-clutching on a downshift) and (what I call) "two-stage shifting" (which is what you just showed), depending upon circumstances. I teach two-stage shifting. I also explain that, theoretically, it leads to increased clutch wear but I also add that in over three decades of driving, I have NEVER had to replace a clutch, so any additional wear is fairly minimal.
Thanks for the vid! You truly are a great instructor. I was taught how to shift on the go straight away :D Despite me having a license for 6 years, i still see myself making a mistake shifting between 1st and 2nd gear when i accidentally "drop" the clutch and jerk the car especially when i have to accellerate fast and i always cringe when it happens because it feels damaging to my clutch. Sometimes i even hear a distant "thud" sound from the transmission when i do it. (the transmission/clutch is not damaged and is working completely fine though...) Also i trained rev-matching using your videos on my car and it helped me quite a lot!
It's not just you! I've been driving a manual for just over 4 years. I have the same problem with 2nd gear. I sometimes find myself dropping the clutch too soon when upshifting from 1st into 2nd gear, or downshifting from 3rd into 2nd gear. It's an unpleasant feeling when I make this mistake. It feels like I'm getting slammed from behind. I tend to release the clutch too soon at 2nd gear when I have a bunch of cars behind me, especially when I'm the first person in line when the light turns from red to green. I kind of get nervous and forget to continue to hold at the bite point. I'm confident that I'll eventually be able to shift into 2nd gear smoothly every time!
The caveat to clutching down quickly during a gear change is that the revs will get to ideal during the clutch release. You can see the revs dropped to ideal @ 6:50. You are inevitably damaging the clutch each time the wheels have to spin the engine up to the correct RPM. This is especially true for cars with little to no rev-hang. Also, it is better and smoother to get on the throttle immediately, say 1cm of the clutch from the floor; that way it’s a linear release, rather than pausing at the bite point then giving gas. You should only pause at the bite point while taking off in 1st gear, rev-matching, and heel-toe downshift.
Best driving instructor videos on RUclips, as a PDI, your videos have helped me so much, thank you ☺️ Do you have any specific videos for PDIs/ADI’s. Thank you
@@ConquerDriving no need to apologise. Your videos in general are very helpful. Thank you for your time and efforts producing them. We truly appreciate you 👍👏🏻😊
No double clutching, no grandma shifting, no gear shifting without pressing the clutch pedal, no lecturing on how riding the clutch in traffic is "horrible" for the gearbox, no BS = Non American stick driver.
@@krystiankowalski7335- I double clutch (AKA double de-clutching) on a downshift, habitually. I find that it does lead to smoother downshifts, even on synchromesh gear-boxes.
I really need to relearn manual. I got my license in a manual diesel, absolutely loved it. I had a good feeling for the clutch and it felt natural. But our family car that I was allowed to drive was a petrol, 2 cylinder. It needed so so so much precision. I drove it for 2 weeks but never quite got it. I got nervous every time and stalled a few times. It felt horrible because I thought I had unlearned it. I started driving my moms automatic and almost never drove manual again. It's been almost a year. I drove it like once since, and I didn't feel comfortable at all, which caused me to screw up the clutch control. But I want to relearn it definitely! I'm motivated because I love cars, and I'm only 18 so have plenty of time. Anyways, got my first own car now. I did get an automatic, but it's gonna be my daily driver so that's what I prefer anyway. But I keeping watching these videos to learn some tips and tricks for when I'm ready to try again
You mentioned the fact that some pupils steer to the left when changing gear. I would call that cross-coupling. When one action (changing gear) effects some thing else.
I think some cars have built in systems that prevent you from stalling. Cause the first car i started learning to drive was a 2015 VW golf and it kept going without applying gas. The instructor taught me wrong, and the next car I got into didn't have this and I was screwed.
The only thing I would say about this video is that it implies it's okay to almost be somewhat forceful in how the clutch is put down. The clutch shouldn't be put down in a forceful manner, as this can damage the clutch. But, that may just be how it appears on the camera angle, more than anything.
Thank you so much. I had my 6th 1hr long driving lesson and I still cannot control the cluth. I keep releasing the clutch too fast and sometimes stalling, over-revving pointlessly, and jerking it badly. Once I'm moving from 2nd to 3rd and up I'm not bad but starting from standstill into a main road is my nightmare 😂
1:38 sick acting skills LMFAO. Just one question please. I hope you answer because I have huge anxiety about driving and I am just starting my instruction. basically what I wnat to know in relation to gear shifting is whether I need to shift down a gear every time I encounter a longer stretch of the road that is curved? Or is it only when encountering sharp turns? I'm not talking about junctions, but straight roads that curve. When braking, if it is necessary, do I need to hold the clutch down to break or can I just brakea little bit without the clutch? In short, I want to know how to behave when taking on turns, any turns at all. Thanks so much
I am wondering if blind spots mirror are good or bad as they can also distort and disguise the distance of car. @conquer driving, can you please explain?
Hey Richard I got my license a couple of months ago and still didn't get the opportunity to practice because my dad wouldn't give his car how can I convince him?
What about pressing the clutch when you are accelerating harsh during a sportier ride? Feels jerky even if u hit that pedal quickly when you have lots of gas
Any tips for far away clutches. Im not the shortest person in the world but my fiesta clutch seems soo far away and im having to sit so close to steering wheel. Of all the cars ive driven ford fiesta been uncomfortable. Any tips on extending the clutch?
I’ve been driving for a couple months now (passed in July) and my gear shifts from first to second are the worst. The car jolts like I’ve given it an electric shock and I die internally every time.
ive been driving petrol 1.4 ford and still having constant jerky gear changes, particularly 1st 2nd, and changing down. i just cant seem to get it right without a jerk or the gearbox clanking. just glad its a cheap old car (new driver of 2 months btw)
You’re probably not slow enough to gear down, (the appropriate speed for that gear) that can cause a jerk. - Going up, clutch down, lift slow and then apply gas. Do not apply gas before you’ve lifted the clutch in gears above 1, it will jerk. (A new driver since July). Hope that helps.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while now because ones like these have been so helpful to me. Did my test today and passed first time with 3 minors so thank you very much❤️🫡
It's not really a beginner question, but for smooth gear changes, is the coordination of action a means to an end to match the revs for the new gear at the speed you're doing? I've been taught to just ease the gas pedal back enough to let the revs drop to where they need to be for the new gear as the clutch comes up. As long as the revs are "matched" as you engage, is that the secret sauce for smoothness? It feels that way for me
There isn't really a secret sauce and it varies from car to car. But you need to allow the revs to match with the gearbox speed smoothly. The clutch is designed to do this for you when used carefully but you can do it yourself with the gas.
I was driving at 43/44 today in 40 speed limit because it was in the middle of the 60 limit that I did not realize and I failed. Zero minor but one single serious mistake. Examiner failed me for 43 in 40 zone.
Hi teacher finance law from India you are a Guru to me your teacher to me but could you explain how we can move a car in emergency situation added for fastest I know you have made a video on this but you have not covered this topic in huge detail please make a video regarding emergency start and to push the call to its limit so that in emergency situation we will be able to drive it really really fast
A video on this would be great. But you can actually practice this on a track or a closed (not public) area. And if you're ever in an actual emergency, the adrenaline in your body just takes over. I almost got in a scooter accident, because a car pulled ahead of me last second. And because of the adrenaline in my body, I was able to make a turn that would be impossible normally. Almost 90 degrees, and didn't fall or crash. It's crazy how much adrenaline improves your driving skill
you stop at the biting point because when the clutch is down the gear isnt connected to the engine. you need the gear and the engine to sync up and the biting point is where they do that gently. you will notice as you shift down gears - when you bring the clutch up to the biting point - the revs will jump up and vice versa when you shift up
keeping the clutch at bite point whilst applying revs is called riding the clutch, although it will make the gear change smooth it's destroying the clutch

It's not really a beginner question, but for smooth gear changes, is the coordination of action a means to an end to match the revs for the new gear at the speed you're doing?
I've been taught to just ease the gas pedal back enough to let the revs drop to where they need to be for the new gear as the clutch comes up. As long as the revs are "matched" as you engage, is that the secret sauce for smoothness? It feels that way for me
There isn't really a secret sauce and it varies from car to car. But you need to allow the revs to match with the gearbox speed smoothly. The clutch is designed to do this for you when used carefully but you can do it yourself with the gas.
I was driving at 43/44 today in 40 speed limit because it was in the middle of the 60 limit that I did not realize and I failed. Zero minor but one single serious mistake. Examiner failed me for 43 in 40 zone.
I'm sorry to hear that. If you're that much over for very long it is likely a serious mark in my experience.
@@ConquerDriving I want to do mock with you through manual car.
Hi teacher finance law from India you are a Guru to me your teacher to me but could you explain how we can move a car in emergency situation added for fastest I know you have made a video on this but you have not covered this topic in huge detail please make a video regarding emergency start and to push the call to its limit so that in emergency situation we will be able to drive it really really fast
A video on this would be great. But you can actually practice this on a track or a closed (not public) area. And if you're ever in an actual emergency, the adrenaline in your body just takes over. I almost got in a scooter accident, because a car pulled ahead of me last second. And because of the adrenaline in my body, I was able to make a turn that would be impossible normally. Almost 90 degrees, and didn't fall or crash. It's crazy how much adrenaline improves your driving skill
I like my car. I don't have to mess a clutch to change gears
🔥
after a gear change can't i just lift the clutch quickly? why do i need do stop at the break point
you stop at the biting point because when the clutch is down the gear isnt connected to the engine. you need the gear and the engine to sync up and the biting point is where they do that gently. you will notice as you shift down gears - when you bring the clutch up to the biting point - the revs will jump up and vice versa when you shift up
If you don't pause at the bite point the gear change may be jerky and in some instances will put a lot of strain on the transmission.
@@ConquerDriving ok thanks
🙌🏾👍🏾👌🏾
keeping the clutch at bite point whilst applying revs is called riding the clutch, although it will make the gear change smooth it's destroying the clutch
First
What a great example of how to drive a car but not actually moving and driving a car.
