How to change gear is important if you want to learn how to drive a manual / stick shift car smoothly. The two hardest parts of learning to drive a manual /stick shift car compared to an automatic will be clutch control and changing gears. In this video we look at how to change up gear as well as how to change down gear in a manual car. We will show you how to use the palming method. The palming method is a reliable way of changing gears especially if you're prone to making mistakes when changing. Although you won't be penalised on your UK practical driving test for not using the palming method when changing gears, it's still a good habit to get into as less mistakes will happen.
When learning to drive a manual car you will have a driving lesson on how to change gear. Hopefully these gear changing tips will make it easier to drive a manual car.
Firstly, get familiar with where the gears are by remembering the diagram on top of the gear lever. When changing gears, you'll have to do it without looking down at the gear lever.
The gear lever is spring loaded which means that it always springs to neutral which is just under 3rd gear and above 4th. You'll need to remember this as you'll either be pushing against the spring or letting it spring itself depending on which gear is needed.
How to change up gear: Once you've speeded up, as you release the accelerator, press down the clutch, change up gears, clutch up gently and back on the accelerator.
How to change down gear: Once you've slowed down, either use slight acceleration or footbrake, clutch down, change down gears and then clutch up gently (unless stopping and then clutch down).
Watching our video on changing gear in a manual car will hopefully help you understand how to position your hand correctly on the gear lever and make less mistakes and change gear smoothly in a manual car.

World Driving I passed my test a week ago but still love watching these videos, they are really helpful
World Driving iam new to driving can you help in how to drive a manual car and when to change gears + how to start a car
I subscribed a week ago :) Thank you so much for all your videos, they have helped me tenfold in terms of my driving lessons.
Hi what is heel and toe ? why we need to do that ?
Suppose i forget which gear i'm in whilst i'm driving?
1st to 2nd gear - palm away from you
3rd to 5th gear - palm towards you
Why didn't anyone make this clearer for me? Thanks Chris!
they will be useful am learning i just completed my 3rd lesson i was working on 1 and 2nd gear
This is only applicable if you're driving right hand manual cars
OMG i passed today🎉 couldn't have done it without your youtube videos, thank you so much😭 lots of love❤
Hi! Congratulations on passing your driving test. Appreciate you watching our videos and keep up the safe driving :)
babygirl wtf? They didnt teach you this in driving school?
Babygyal. Congrats
@@hans2695 🙄🙄🙄
How you doin
your voice is very relaxing and soothing to the ears.
Infamous no homo
Yes I really like the voice over and the way he guides. 🙌
😂Very true. That is One of the good reasons why I am watching his video rather than the other. Most of videos presenters are either screaming or simply stressful to listen to
Third and fourth are the "default" gears. The springs automatically push the lever into the center of the pattern. For a change from second to third I don't palm. I simply push the lever forward, wait a fraction for the spring to work, and push the lever forward again. Psychologically I really like this because it's like a pilot pushing the engine levers forward on takeoff! Third to fourth, no palming, pull straight back. Fifth to fourth, no palming, pull straight back, pause, and straight back again. When I watch Classic NLS videos the drivers also use this system. Moral of the story, let the springs help you as much as possible.
I was not taught this palming method when I was learning to drive. I only knew this when I came across WorldDriving. Thanks Chris.
My son is just learning to drive and has some difficulty changing up or down gears. This video is perfect to help him master this. Very clearly explained and demonstrated! Thanks for helping me to help him in his next lesson.
Thank God for your channel! You're so clear and you get straight to the point. I love how your videos are so detailed and how they contain such helpful information. Your channel is a God send for us learner drivers :)
Hi! Thanks for your nice comment and appreciate you watching :)
World Driving no problem I've just passed my test today I'm so relieved! I'll continue to watch your videos I can always continue to learn lol! x
RiMarinaxo I totally agree with u

@@kuukuyankson2033 hello sir can you have sume drivar job
How's your driving 5 years later?
I've been having trouble with changing gears until I saw this. I must say that it's quite handy.
Hi! Pleased that you found it useful. Thanks for watching :)
Handy as in literally 👌🏾👌🏾👍🏾
Passing my driving test first time today thanks to the help of your great videos 👍🏻
Hi Adam! Congratulations. Keep up the safe driving and see you on the road :)
This helped me big time and I only drive manual for two days , had my first stall but after watching this everything seems clear . Thank you .
I passed my test 4 years ago and I've only started driving again.. really struggled with going from 2nd to 3rd gear the last few days.. I needed petrol this evening and after watching this, and changing my hand round the gear stick has made me feel more confident.. thank you 😊
So I have a habit of changing into the wrong gears by accident and my driving tests in just over 2 weeks. Thank you for this it really helped 😊
okay tell you something after couple of videos THIS is the only one that really got me and and now finally all confusions related Gear shifting are Gone. TYSM, just keep going with stuff like this keeping simple and fully explained covering all possible sides.
This is the best video on RUclips to learn gear changing on a manual car. Thanks a lot!
I struggled a lot for more than 2 days to select the third gear when l was in my driving lessons. But the most important that l have learned is the 1st and second gear and how you should place your hand into the gear, BIG UP BROTHER!!! On the 10th of May, I have been booked for defensive driving 🚦 and you will be the 1st person to hear 👂 from me
Hey there! Thank you so much for sharing your driving experience with me. It's totally normal to struggle with certain aspects of driving when you're just starting out, but it sounds like you're making great progress! It's awesome that you've mastered the first and second gears, and knowing how to place your hand on the gear is definitely an important skill to have.
I'm so excited to hear that you've been booked for defensive driving on May 10th - that's fantastic news! Please do keep me posted on how it goes, I can't wait to hear all about it. And remember, even if you encounter some challenges along the way, don't give up - you've got this! Keep up the great work, my friend!
I was struggle with gear change special when 2 to 3 but now feeling confidence .thanks!
one vital thing about you is your clear voice and calmness teacher keep it up
If anyone ask how I learn to drive standard this is where I’m sending that person. Your videos thought me all I needed to knw about driving standard🤙🏾
The best tutor on gear level, very educative and easier. Thank you
Appreciate you watching 🙂
This is the right video ive been looking for, for a long time... thank you so much! Thanks for the detailed demonstration...
Thanks for this video and your lesson delivery too. I haven't known that one can skip a gear before, for instance, 1-3 or 5-1, etc. Thanka a lot for that and we expect getting more from you!
I’m glad I came across this video, for some reason the only issue is having whilst on my lessons is going from second to third and fourth to Fifth. My instructor hasn’t told me about the spring box within the gears so hopefully now I won’t have anymore issue .
Just get happy by seeing your crystal clear videos......
You are a great teacher/ instructor. You teach us so well, well done.
Wow you make this so simple one of the best tutorials I've seen
2nd to 3rd has really been holding me back, have literally perfected everything apart from this. Hopefully this will help me
I am the same don't know why
4th to 5th for me still scared to do after paassing. thankfully not been on anything over 40mph roads fo now.
Same i think its the speed because i was under 40 kilometers per hour
Have you passed
Same for me. I used to accidentally skip to 5th
An excellent educational piece as usual. I will owe it to you when I become a complete driver. ❤
So glad I have found your channel! I'm ok with change gears up but going down I find a bit tricky! I kinda have anxiety when it comes to driving and have had lessons but now learning with my husband but keep avoiding it as my anxiety gets to me 😣
Drive as much as possible. Choose friendly environments initially( open parking lots or driving in early morning before traffic rush), this will make you feel more comfortable and relaxed about driving. Move on to tougher challenges after that..this might help with your anxiety
This is the best gear video I've ever seen
Thanks very much 🙂
When I first started learning I used to slam the gear stick into the gear I wanted, because that's what they do in films. My instructor soon stopped that. :-D
🤣🤣
:'D
Same 🤣
All your videos were very helpful! Thank you Chris for putting in your time and effort making these videos. I passed on 2nd of January, after failing a few times. I finally passed! Thanks to you and my driving instructor. When I was not in lessons, I would always watch your videos.
Hi! Thanks for letting me know and congratulations on passing your driving test. Appreciate you watching our videos. Keep up the safe driving and see you on the road 🙂
Very helpful thanks very much
Of all the videos about manual transmission I've watched this had been the most educative of them all I love it
Pleased 👍
This is so useful, thank-you! I’ve been struggling to not look down at my gear stick when changing gears, and changing up from 2nd to 3rd and this really helped.
Pleased you found it useful. All the best with your practice 🙂
Hello bethany how are you mam can you sume drivar recuerment job plz🙏
Wow, I'm in South Africa. I'm doing lessons, tuning here has helped me. I can't wait to go and drive tomorrow. Everything is easy here. Thank you very much. I can't wait for tomorrow
Thankyou so much for these videos! Before every lesson I always watch as many as I can,I'm a visual learner so seeing how a technique works in real life has really helped me remember everything (plus your voice is so calm to listen to). Today I finally passed my test with only 1 minor! 😁
Hi! Congratulations on passing your driving test. Appreciate your nice comment. Keep up the safe driving and see you on the road :)
That's amazing!
Thanks alot for sharing this important things❤ could have not make without your youtube videos,many thanks❤🎉
Thanks another for your useful video. Keep the ball rolling.
I have never been able to block change gears because i was taught to change up through all the gears when speeding up then the same when slowing down.
My instructor said (like 25 yrs ago!!) it would help slow me down & not be so hard on the breaks.
I understand the idea totally but when i try to block change i just revert back to my old ways lol!
Just wanted to say thank you so much! This really helped me improve in my driving and stopped me from looking down at the gears when changing gears! Thank you!!
That's really good to hear 🙂
You are straight to the point and you explain it so clearly, I did not even know how to change gears but you took me from zero to Hero ,thumbs up man you know your thing❤
Thanks for your comment 🙂
Chris the whole world should learn from you. Never seen a clearer and easier person to learn from before I luckily came a cross your channel. Best of luck lad
Thanks for your nice comment 👍
My dad told me this method constantly and he does it with ease. I'm getting there ( I don't look down anymore) but I still change gears time to time without the palm method.
As an American who wants to learn to drive manual, this is a godsend.
Hi! Thanks for watching. Have a look thorough our videos as you might find some more videos that will help you 🙂
This training video will help many drivers from errors while changing gears....thanks
Thank you so much for this video. It has helped me. Much love from Mombasa, Kenya.
I have watched a lot of videos on how to use the gear ,this is the best video on RUclips so far I feel like I can already drive manual car even though I never did ,Thank you so much well done .
Appreciate your nice comment 🙂
This channel and The Learner Driving Centre are essential for learner drivers!

Thanks so much , this really help me out I am changing my gear now easily. Thanks
I have my test in November bit nervous but these videos have helped me just need some luck on the day lol
Thank you for this video. Such a great help for me who occasionally change into wrong gear in my driving class. Been binge watching your other videos as well to learn other techniques that I didn't learn from driving school. I hope you'll cover on how to drive over speed bumps coz I have a hard time on how do it smoothly.
Hi! Appreciate you watching our videos. I'll add speed humps to our 'to-do' list :)
Nadine Sakirani Downshift to 1st and then brake,leave enough momentum to make the car roll comfortably over the bump then after the front tyres have cleared the bump you're good to start accelerating. My uncle taught me this hahaha
Very good video, two thumbs up for world driving & Chris. Thanks
Blimmy!Your videos are easy and very helpful
You are an excellent teacher and I am now confident after watching the video
Where have you been damn it. I am still learning to drive but your palming method was never taught by my driving instructor. I am always switching to 4th whenever I try to engage 2nd gear. I will give your method a try tomorrow :)
Chris you are absolutely the best
This is the best driving instructing video I have ever seen. Thank you so much.
Others focus on steering, braking and showing inside car but not shifting haha. Cheers
Appreciate you watching 🙂
Your video is is clear and helpful. I started driving a week ago.. Thanks.

Brilliant videos such a help I'm so glad I came across yr channel x
One of my biggest fears, once I changed from first to fourth and I’ve been traumatised since. When I’m on dual carriageways I pray before I change gears this video helped massively. Even though it happened to me once I’ve been scared ever since
how is it now lol?
@Vladimir Putin somehow lool
You can miss out gears ,if you get the engine speed correct!
I do it all the time.
Thank you for this! I find the videos incredibly helpful. I recommended this channel to my driving instructor so she can let other students know and hopefully they can benefit from it as much I am. :D
Hi! Thanks for your nice comment. Pleased that you found the videos helpful :)
Your videos have really helped me, I passed first time today with only one minor 🚗 good luck with your future progress on your channel!
