I stalled out 3 times at a light with a hill. Had cars go around me and the moment no one was behind me I drove off with out a hitch. People need to give room in general, wether it’s manual or automatic.
Edwin Diaz Same really like 3 hours ago heading home I though my transmission was fucked up
I always try to roll back a little if I see someone approaching from behind. It works for the most part but you always have those idiots who wanna just be buttholes!
No you just learned after the 3rd stall 😂
happened to me today…
Same thing just happened to me today I just picked up my very first manual car
Have to put a sticker on the back lol This is a manual I DO roll back.
in europe you dont need to put anything cuz we are not sissy, we drive like real mans we drive manual! LOL
In America people will see that sticker and get closer so you roll into them
@@cmb271 true alot of fat lazy idiots who need to get to Walmart quickly
@@cmb271 sometimes i just wanna get them out and beat them to death
I need a sticker like that!
Hill starts were definitely the scariest part about learning to drive manual! Awesome video Robbie!
Ashton Richard just ride the clutch with gas, if it the car jerks a little push the clutch back in a little and put gas.. that way you wont stall
Rommel Garcia yeah and u burn ur clutch out faster that way lol
Matthew R.. most manual cars that aren't powerful needs half clutch with a little bit of gas when starting up a hill.. If I have a V6 diesel car, hill start is no problem because I can just release the clutch without giving it more gas while the clutch pedal is half way
Still trying to learn lol
Rommel Garcia you’ll burn the fuck out the clutch that way. I did that shit when I first started learning and it fucking stinks and tears your car up.
Although hill starts can be scary when you're learning, soon you'll feel confident and not think too much about it. Parking on a hill, however, always makes me stressed.
Just put it in gear and pull the ebrake. If that isn’t enough for you just put a brick on your brakes or something idk
Park close to the curb and turn your wheel so that it comes in contact with the curb.
@@capedcrusader16 that will hurt the suspension tho,,
@sketchers ture
My e90 has a feature that when I let off the break the car will hold itself for about 3 seconds or intill I let off the clutch. HUGE life saver.
Lucky you! I just did a manual swap on the E46 M3 and mannn.... I got it down except the hills at times
@@jinkz0
Same I just manual swapped my Audi and other than hill I’m good although I’m 6 days into manual swap
I have a e90 too , not sure how to use that feature tho , how do u use it lol?
@@jinkz0 got a e46 330ci, same thing. Hold the brake pedal, bring clutch to bite point then transfer to gas works like a charm
Don't you get a ton of people who freak out and start honking at you as soon as you roll back less than an inch?
@@sayalaperbandel like uphill grean light? IMO manual tranny start is only as slow as the driver.
Fr lol I'm just learning and some dude or girl honked at me cause the light just turned green.
freezerlunik bcause i almost master hand brake start, but i burn some clutch
Stop sign on the top of the hill
Or when you are learning in an academy's car and others still give you no space and honk when you roll the smallest measurable amount possible
the car doesnt roll back. the earth moves forward
+do u knoe da wae? Woah...
Lmao Illuminati confirmed
"the earth is flat"
I don't know about that chief...
This guy ^ 🤦♂️
I learned how to drive manual in a couple of minutes and after a couple days my dad let me practice on the back roads at night and there was a stop at a hill. Most embarrassing thing ever is when i had to put it in park right there to switch seats
😂
Lol I avoid hills at all costs
time to challenge them!
I go to school in ithaca
@@themisvespucci9894 whats the name of it?
Same
💯💯💯💯
I got nervous and stalled 4 times on a hill thank you for this tutorial
I’m scared of this happening to me
Lol just did this in my new wrx. Got stuck at the bottom of my neighborhood, even flagged a few people by. So embarrassing
@@Jin-ef7rq it happened to me. I don't like it.
@@Jin-ef7rq but you can always use the handbrake and then release at the same time pressing gently on the accelerator.
Same I’m 17 and having been learning stick from my sister but when the car shuts off I panic and cars start beeping 💀😂
Everybody gangsta till you have yo drive up a steep hill with traffic in front of you...
in front, no problem
but behind? i'm walking from here
@@uwusauce666 😂
When I first started to drive manual I had the hardest time going up hills but over time it got easier.
Practice makes perfect
after a few weeks of driving
*sees hill*
*surfs the web just to climb hill*
Don’t laugh but I did this just to park in front of my damn house because it’s a hill
@@1pyroace1 to get outta my neighborhood I have to go up a steep ass hill and I have to wait for the security to open the gates too 🤦🏽♂️
@@jseiragames8371 damn, i’m from Puerto Rico and you can find hills everywhere, where i live we have a lot and i’m still learning manual, i don’t like them😂
@@jonatan_1325 hey Jonatán my name's actually Johnathan hahaha. Been 3+ months since I got my manual car and I'm loving every single bit of it rn since I'm used to it already. I've brought it through some windy/twisty roads and did some really enthusiastic and spirited drives. Once you get the hang of driving manual, there won't be any regrets!
😹
when i first started driving stick around a year ago i was pulling out of a REALLY steep intersection and somebody was literally a centimeter away from my bumper. there was nobody behind them so as i was waiting at the red light i put on my hazard lights and shifted to reverse real quick. i looked in my rear view mirror and he looked confused but didn’t get the hint. i put it back in first as the light was going to change soon and turned off my hazards. the light turned green i gave it a lot of gas and pulled away just fine and as i looked back he had stalled 😂
I've never been a "car guy" but recently bought a 2002 Honda Civic from a family friend and HAD TO learn manual... your videos have been incredibly helpful! Especially regarding hill starts. Oh man, there was one time I literally just put my emergency lights on and waited for the cars to go around me because I had already stalled from panicking and trying to shift too quickly. Some people told me that you break method is a cheat and not worth using once you're an experienced driver, but you have open my mind and I am going to practice it on some empty hills. Most of the on-ramps and off-ramps in Ventura County are pretty steep, which is literally been the most terrifying part of my 1-month manual driving career thus far
I just bought a 2003 Civic and oh boy. I’m slowly getting the hang of it
I've been practicing driving stick this past week, and what I found works for me is holding the brake pedal while releasing the clutch and then quickly transferring my foot to gas pedal as soon as clutch hits the bite point.
I'm going to try this, really struggling this week. Thanks!
Here to share a story. First time driving a standard I was driving it home from buying the car. I came to a stop on a somewhat high hill, and when I started to go again I dropped the clutch to quickly and hit the car behind me. In the end no real damage was done and neither of us cared enough to get insurance involved
Lol
Easiest way is to be patient if you practice on small hills slowly you’ll understand how fast to release the clutch and how much gas to give on hills versus flat roads. Please be patient it’s very important as soon as you start to panic you will most likely stall so please be patient you will roll back a little but not too much
Most stressful phase of driving especially on congested roads. Thanks for the tips.
Honestly I bought myself my first car and it was a manual. What really sucked was it was a 2003 with 170k miles on it, what made it worse it had the factory clutch with 170k miles on it. I planned longer more inconvenient routes just to avoid hills
??? my 2006 v70 has 300k miles on it original clutch, Manual.
Collin Herold same
Haha..I'm pushing myself to drive on hills, I have to learn eventually 😔
Haha I live in a very hilly area so I can’t avoid hills at all. Hell, I even live on a hill! I’m fucked!
Roll back... Sounds like a sale at Walmart.
TheBigDanois asdaaaaaaa
yea, i cant do the e brake thing.. my E Break is a foot e brake like in an automatic
ThePlaystationCriminal yikes, my automatic has an e brake handle but I learned it doesn’t work the other day lol. Had a suspicion for a while so I tried it out one night coming to a stop sign. Drove rest of the way home pulling and pushing my e brake for fun cuz it doesn’t working
Diesel Richardson its a 1967 camaro but i just learned how to start on a hill in. just a couple tries
ThePlaystationCriminal that’s awesome
Diesel Richardson put some tape or tie rap then you can use it again
I just rev it and dump the clutch lol
Same bruh fuck it lmao
@noahjo8 Dump the clutch anyway because the car has a muffler. He stops you for your tires spinning a bit? Say your new and fight that in court, probably wont be able to get you off of 1 or 2 occurrences of this as long as it isn't frequent. (Which it wont be.)
The scariest shit ever for me was bumper to bumper driving up to the top of a parking garage because there was no parking below......damn near shat myself. The entire drive was an uphill battle to not 1. Stall and 2. Roll backwards. The good thing is my car was a performance tuned 2016 Dodge Challenger RT and the engagement point w/ no gas is enough power to pull the car up, so I only drove using clutch right at or slightly below the engagement point and the break pedal. That car does not come with a handbrake; that shit has one of those foot e-brake pedal with a pull latch to release it. I never want to do that shit again.
Thank you for this! I just learned stick and I'm confident with everything except hill starts scare the shit out of me, this was so helpful!
Finally driving manual. Drove back home for the first time with minor traffic and no problems now I just wanna master shifting smoothly up a huge hill
Just starting to drive manual around Vancouver. The hills and the other drivers make it pretty nerve wracking to learn lol
Yeah, last time I was at the intersection between Fraser and King Edward, you probably know that hill, and I was turning left on a hill with a manual car.
I've always known how to drive manual since I was a kid but when I got my license recently I've had to learn all this stuff, the strategy that I use is, I hold brake (pedal brake) and then go to my bite point and then let off break and quickly apply the throttle, I've only just learned this and it's actually a really good technique if you practice a few times
Edit: let me fix what I meant, so once you are at your bite point, let off break and then apply throttle whilst letting the clutch out
Bruh I do the same thing it's what my friend taught me since the car I practice with has an electronic p-brake and not a handle
I just bought my FRS 2 days ago. I have first gear down, and started practicing hills on my driveway. This is what I figured out:
1) Step on brake and clutch.
2) Slowly release clutch until it bites.
3) Let go of brake and apply gas slowly.
Not sure if it's "correct". I'm holding the clutch at the biting point and applying gas to move forward slowly.
Exactly 💯
thats instant stall on weaker engines
As long as you know your clutch's sweet spot, you good to go.
I’m about to get a stick shift old jeep and I’m nervous about this rolling shit 💀 where I live, if I go left it’s all hills.
sameee if i go up its all hills and i needa go up to get to school im so scared😭
Did u get the jeep
@@uniqueis69 didn’t work out 😕 I tried driving it many times before I finally gave up. It wasn’t the stick shift itself, just a shitty vehicle.
@@cwchris_ dang all bad get a better stick shift car
Just bought a manual and this is such a good video, thing that messes me up the most is I get super nervous but as long as I stay calm I’m good. Thanks for the tips! I prefer to find the bite point before letting off the brake, e brake is just one more thing I have to pay attention too lol
What car did you get?
I haven't driven a stick shift since the nineties. I got a 93 Ford escort, (from the nineties) today. I was able to pick it up quickly. But I had a moment of panic. I got to the top of a steep snow compacted road, which had an intersection at the top, so I had to stop. And a car got right behind me. When I would take my foot off the brake, I would roll back, there was what seemed like a long time, where they were waiting for me to get my shit together and go, as it was a stop sign intersection. I was so nervous I would go back into the car behind me, first hour I got the car. I finally sort of bolted out, putting too much on the gas, but made the turn. But that is why I am here.
Oh I live in the Rockies, so the road was like a 45% angle.
Just bought a 6 speed lifted truck that’s more than twice the engine size of my old Subaru and these little videos help!
I live in the mountains and am driving manual for the first time🤦♀️
I was taught to watch the hood of the car. When your gas and clutch is at the right level (about 1500 to 2000 RPM) your hood will rise up, at the point you release the parking brake, the car should stand still, you then increase the gas and decrease the clutch and the car will move forward. I learned this in 1970 and used it since then without problem. You need to practice it a few times to get it right.
I know you posted this 3 years ago but I greatly appreciate it because I just bought a Fiat 500 sport 2 days ago and I haven't driven a manual in about 10 years and it's super stressful but I love the car.
just bought a golf gti i’m 16 and hills are so scary
I just bought a manual toyota corolla and I am SO scared of going up hills. I try to avoid them as much as possible but I can't keep doing this. I really want to learn how to drive up a hill using manual, so thank you so much for the video.
Hey thanks for the video I do panic when someone gets behind me, I did yesterday and it was a small hill, but I was going backwards 😱😱 so I gave it gas and was gone. Will maintain to be calm and pretend as if no one is behind me. Thanks again for the video.
East tn has some huge hills 😂. It’s all mountains
East TN gang
Fuck east TN how about east TX
TN in general is very hilly
I'm in Knoxville. I make it a point to commute on I-40 with my 6 speed Focus instead of going down Kingston Pike! lol!
@@ryankelsey9646 yup😂. Screw that
Thank you so much. You just saved me from having a accident by stalling in the middle of the road. I hate uphill exits from shopping centers.
Hey man, new learner here. Recently had bought my dream car! It’s a RHD 93 skyline. I’ve known a lot of the basics and how to use a clutch and shifting. But This is one thing I’ve been scared to death about. Just tryna learn as much as I can and put it into practice to be more efficient in driving a manual. Thanks for sharing! Very useful and helpful and quite clear on how to start on a hill! Thanks again (:
Awesome man! New Manuel driver in USA 🇺🇸
Thank you so much! This makes things so much more darn easier than the gas first, release clutch till biting point and release your e-brake. This is like, release clutch till biting point, gas and then release e-brake! So much more easier! Thanks again! :D
It's been six months since I started driving, but still struggle with the clutch. Uphill start is quite challenging! It's so embarrassing sometimes even though I have big L stickers, front& rear 😀
where you from?

@@shishiq4850 interesting so what all languages do you speak?
Little bit of advice: when your on that hill just ease off that clutch and let it grab then give it some gas or more if necessary. Just be confident. No need for an e brake but people like to use it which there’s nothing entirely wrong with that.
Excellent video on handling hills. On point! Beautifully explained. Teaching my son to drive stick shift., so glad I found this video. Thank you for making it.
Happened yesterday... I hit the hazards and waved them off! 😂☠️ then I rolled back and finally made it up, will likely practice this or avoid at all cost!!
It has been a while since I drove stick shift, my first 3 cars were sticks. I don't remember a situation where the clutch wasn't strong enough to hold the car. Release the clutch until it grabs and depending on the steepness, use more gas on steeper hills etc. Never thought of using the brake but thats a good trick
This video really calmed me down. Cant wait to practise it tomorrow.
When you think about this in your head its a mental overload but when you physically do it. It’s easy and makes sense
I hope this video helps, my school has a very steep hill and that is usually packed with traffic. I start driving to school in 3 months and im trying to get all the tips I can get.
Man, those are tiny hills, where I live, hill starts are mandatory and strict in learner assessments.
Handbrakes are a must as letting go of the brakes would make the car "drop" down the hill.
In the city (yes, city) alone, had 35 degree hills with lights and some hills 45 degrees, and even our driveway is around 40 degrees. But funnily enough, there's a 50/50 between manual and auto, but we still get idiots who will almost bumper to bumper on those damn hills. Used cars usually had failing handbrakes and for parking, the 1st gear was always used.
This is Tasmania, Australia by the way.
Hobart right? It is so hard to drive a manual in the city, especially two one way main roads.
45? No way. That’s hill climbing grades of steep. It might FEEL that way but I almost refuse to believe that’s a grade you’d see in the city.
@@shortForPychael I think he meant 45% lol. 45% grade is 24° which is still steep af
@@baileyharrison1030 that’d make a bit more sense. but still, yea, those are some steep bois. I’d just move.
But also steepest public road in the world is a 35% grade, and it’s Baldwin street in Dunedin, New Zealand.
Hill start gives great confident to and it's where you can prove your smart ability to handle manual transmission car,thanks
Yeah, in my country motorcyclists and even heavy trucks love to get too close behind cars. I wish I will find a right way to tell them to keep their distances.
use your finger
Roll back into them
Bumper stickers
Well now on quarantine they better keep their distances
Once you know where ur grabpoint of the clutch is, its pretty easy to hill start, but if you are knew to the car or to driving in general its pretty hard, even more with the selfmade pressure when seeing cars behind you
Im learning manual, first manual car.
First time trying on the public road I live in the mountains and had people behind me honking and I was trying and trying but kept stalling, I got it after 2 tries and pulled over on a flat part to calm down but the guy behind me pulled over as well yelling, told him I was learning manual and he apologized.
Dont be a dick on the road please
Thank you for this video I’m still learning manual on a truck it’s my first time 😊 but I’ll get there keep practicing 👍🏽
i just got done hill starting, im so greatfull for the vid :)
This video was really really good. The best video I've seen on this subject.
the brz has hill assist function, just touch TRC OFF 30 seconds, when we look TRC missing in the screen and then sharply touch TRC two times in following 5 seconds
Nice video! Like the use of the Crown bag💯
I live in Florida. We don’t have hills, yet I’m still here looking this up. Scared of getting stuck going up an express way when it’s packed
Thank you so much. I just bought a mazdaspeed3 and never driven manual before. I'm good at everything else except I panick when I am on hills and there's cars behind me. Thankss ❤️
I remember having a Peugeot 206 with a weirdly adjusted clutch that completely disengaged when you pressed it down 1/4 of the way. My mum tried to drive it and hated it. Hearing the revving between gear changes was funny.
You know how to explain it every well bro! Thank you! I just bought a camaro 2013 super sport lol soooo 😅
In Germany you learn in every driving school to hold the E-brake/handbrake on an uphill. Eventually some time you'll be able to do this with your foot and simultaneously press gas. Like heel-toe
Robbie explains this so well!!!
This is where I'm struggling the most (New driver)
Your video is saving me, I was struggling, just got an 05 GT
Okay, so it is perfectly fine to get it to the bite point just before I know I’m about to start moving. I’m just too worried about wearing out the clutch quicker than it needs to.
BMW M2 and golf r has hill start assist, it will hold the car for a short duration, kinda acts as an auto e-brake. I was surprised by this feature when I bought the golf R and I'm very happy with it.
I live in BC too (new west) and yeah. the hills are crazy. this video was helpful! Thank you!
That was the coolest intro EVER 😂
I didn’t even realize you live in bc too. I’m getting a manual car and I’m stressing about driving on the hills man. Not to mention how great Vancouver drivers are 👍🏼
I just started driving manual here in BC too, usually I just tap the gas before starting and the rev hang is enough to not use the handbrake but man when trucks are on my ass I still freak out and do a burnout 😂
Just bought a manual and I'm having so much trouble on the hills... I live in a valley so it's nothing but hills ;-;-;-;-; ... I learned manual a few years ago but on mostly flat land ;-;
Thank u so much. your videos are really helpful, even if i want to know some small tips about the manual, i do get back to your videos, definitely there so many videos out talking about manual's related, but some of them are so formal and complicated. Big support from Saudi Arabia
My car doesn't have a tachometer cause early 80's but my neighborhood is nothing but hills so it was great learning how to drive stick
Jasen Stewart you dont need one, i have a 67 camaro so i cant even do the e brake thing, i installed aftermarket tachometer and other guages though
@@musclecarsdaily3020 so what do you do on hills?
the phantom just take off like normal. you dont need an E brake
@@musclecarsdaily3020 so when stopped on the hill how you keep from rolling back?
the phantom hold the regular brake
Hill assist for the win!
Just bounce it off the rev-limiter and drop the clutch.
I call it the automotive magazine 0-60 strats.
2 yrs later and here I am at 31 yr old still looking into videos like this cuz my ass still has not driven a stick shift car thanks for the video explaining it all
I wanna get my first car a manual and there’s so many hills here like everywhere you go it’s up and down just straight hills so ima have so much fun🤣
I also drive a manual and my e-break doesn't work properly and guess what I live in a extremely hilly area.. that's why sometimes i sweat alot.. sometimes i even smells my clutch burning but nothing i can do..
Abhishek I never smell my clutch burning and never use the handbrake. I think it means you should be driving an automatic
HighStreet Killers : Sometimes when you have to stop on uphill in a traffic jam and there are cars behind you then you have pressure to not go backwards not a little bit.. then it is obies to abuse clutch little bit.. even if you don't want.. and i don't even have a e break..
Abhishek your doing something wrong, I can do a burnout and not smell my clutch ever! It will last forever. And handbrake on a hill is wrong. Only time I could see maybe using you're handbrake is if you were towing a heavy load and dint have the horsepower
HighStreet Killers Dude I can tell you have a 6th grade education. Learn how to talk properly.
A parking structure during late at night at locations that are closed at night might be the best place to practice in a not so hilly location.
Pulling out of my street I have a pretty steep hill that’s why I’m watching
Bro that kelowna bridge after work is so brutal I literally wait for traffic because I’m not that confident in shifting yet
Awesome video. You are a good teacher.
Or what you could do is as you get to the light is play with the clutch & keep it balanced until it’s green, that’s what I do
mk7+ gti’s have a 2-3 second grace period for hillstarts when u let off the brake
Just tried it and I got it love this video thanks bro mad excited
This is why I went to auto. Very stressful driving a manual in my city.
Add this vid to the manual playlist!
Thank you for living here!!!!!! I have watched but a lot of other videos are based in UK.... Other side of the road...a little confusing for a beginner like me!!!! Subscribed!!!
learning manual and i live on a huge hill with a steep driveway so fun
What sucks is when your pulling a trailer full of heavy stuff on a hill and they get too close sometimes have to use parking break and regular break can be agervating also seen people ride the clutch to keep it from rolling back i don't like doing that cause when i burn it up i dont feel like replace it lol well small cars i dont really notice it that much unless its a really steep hill.
second time driving a manual out on the road it was a huge hill very steep and i had to experience in the past so i pulled the e brake put it up to 3500 rpms and let the clutch out a little bit and dropped the e brake. got up the hill but was not ideal
Great vid, lower the background music lol
E brake is very helpful if you know how to use it
4:10 pro tip: if you are on your e-break, let your clutch out till the point you see your car shift a bit. Check your rear view mirror. If you see the view on your rear view mirror shift, then you should release the e-break.
Brenwin Vette my ebrake is a foot pedal and handle release. So I never use it and can't anyways. You should never use your ebrake while driving. If you can't handle the hills then you need more practice. I should make one these videos and show this guy how it's done on a really steep hill and in winter with RWD
HighStreet Killers while driving? Who said anything about driving and using your e-break?. Whilst you are standing still, on a hill, look at your rear view mirror. If it shifts release the brake and drive away. That's how we do it on steep hills on 10% and up. Also yes I do use the e-break while driving, but that's just for drifting.
Brenwin Vette if you took your driving test like me in a manual you would fail using your handbrake. I can drift no problem with no handbrake. Cause I drive rwd. Handbrake on a hill is for posers, you don't drive a manual if you need you're handbrake. Anytime your engine is on and you're on the road you are driving
I'm kinda on the edge about getting a manual, I want to have that engaged feel while driving but I don't want to have to drive stick 24/7, especially if I'm faitgued, etc.
+David Sidrak if you wont enjoy it ALL the time id say just dont! People will say whay they say but if YUOU are happy thats what matters! Its nobody else's car!
Could always go for an automatic that either has sport shifting with the stick UP/DOWN or with paddle shifters. That would give you the ability to force the shift or to drive normally with the automatic, say in frequent stop/go traffic. I personally have a manually and don't mind the stop/go driving, though I don't have to do it every day.
David Sidrak i say it depends on the car and the driving you do. I love my brz but I can wait to get another auto for when i just want to commute or go through a drive through or something
it's nothing. Way better to get a manual. You'll be a better driver overall. You'll understand what's happening and be able to drive without brakes. After a few months you don't even think about it. Plus nobody else can drive your vehicle. I got no worries of my truck being stolen cause I know they wouldn't be able to handle the clutch
David Sidrak dude you'll love it . I felt the same way at first
