It depends on your leg and foot size, mine is too small to press the clutch to the end, without making a very unnatural move that pains my ankle that is. Thats why i just built up endurance on my leg
depends on your car. in mine, the clutch travels like two feet from so you can’t have heel on the floor. also, i would generally put it in neutral if you’re stopped. it’s easier on the throw out bearing and your leg. yes, you’ll lose a whole 1/2 second putting the car back in gear when you need to go again but if you’re paying attention to traffic you should be able to predict roughly when you’ll have to go.

We all know the right way to launch is to rev up to about redline and dump your clutch. Then tag limiter before your grab your next gear. For extra speed make sure you’re doing about 95 then slam it into that R gear. That stands for race mode and you’ll launch to 180

The first time I drove a stick was in a brand new 2002 mustang GT with 3 miles on it out of the Ford dealership. I peeled out of the parking lot and only stalled it once at a light. 3 days later I came back and bought it. I still have it to this day and only have 43 thousand original miles on it.
That’s a great story, brother. Thanks for sharing. I still have the first motorcycle and car that I owned. Both manual. ‘77 Honda XL75 enduro and 1989 Dodge Daytona. I got the bike when I was 8 years old and the car in high school.

@@Celibrimbor Yeah and since most cars in driving schools are diesels it was quite adventurous switching to a gasoline car after, quite a few awkward moments at red lights lol
Was expecting a joke somewhere about "power shifting" but this was actually a pretty good explanation. Most important thing to learn with a manual (other then don't move the shifter without putting the clutch all the way in) is the friction point of the clutch. My dad explianed it quite poorly when he first started teaching me, I though the clutch was an on-off thing...
The one annoying thing about these videos is they always say "getting the car moving is the hard part." It's not! The hard part is rev-matching, upshifting/downshifting appropriately, knowing what gear to be in at what time, and being able to pay attention to the traffic around you as well, and keeping yourself in the appropriate rev band so you can get out of someone's way when you need to. Yes, you can technically "drive a manual" if you can get it through all the gears. But you're going to burn through that clutch unless you practice your technique.
Getting the car moving is considered harder because it’s literally not possible to drive (aka “moving the car”) if you get it wrong. It’s the first thing you HAVE to learn and everything else comes after. Therefore, once you can easily get the car moving smoothly from a stop, you’ve already developed some of the skills needed to do things like, for example, rev-matching. It also happens that rev matching is not _technically_ required when driving so it seems easier. Better on your clutch? Sure.
I’ve personally stalled my car a number of times even with experience driving stick (usually because I’m zoned out) and I’ve always found rev-matching to be much easier/less likely to get messed up.
Best way to learn is in an 4x4 out in the woods in low range. Stalling the motor is not an issue and getting the sudden jerk teaches you rather quickly how to do it right. Its also easier on the Drive train plus no road traffic to speak of. Basic concept applies to everything with a clutch. Just saying.
I taught my ex in my 98 forester and she didn't stall once.. She could now drive a stick if she needed too lol I like ppl knowing how to drive stick.. It's a useful talent to have considering there aren't to many of us left and one day may be 0..
I guess in america there aren't a lot of manual car, here in Europe i'm pretty sure 90-95% of peoples driving knows how to drive a manual. Idk if it's like this in every european countrys but mostly we pass our driving licence on manual cars
@@bindodundid 1. Nobody ever sees any vehicles with manual transmissions in the U.S. unless it’s a semi. 2. Multiple sources online say that only 16% of people in the U.S. can drive a standard transmission. 3. Common sense.
another thing to mention there's 2 ways to keep the engine from stalling, the reason why it's stalling is due to the resistance that is experiencing the engine so you can either press the clutch a bit more in or give it more gas
To be fair, we don't know how to do something until we learn 😂. For many of us, we don't know anyone with a manual car to help teach us. So we rely on the internet to do it's thing.
I got a 1989 ford ranger, it was a total beater, was the first time I ever drove a stick. The old owner was extended family, and they told me to get it into first gear I had to rev it to 2k rpm while releasing the clutch... well i barely got it into gear from zero, was able to shift into 2nd or 3rd fairly easy. I probably killed it like 5 times getting it home. I let it sit in the drive way for a few days then wanted to go get some practice, so I got my friend who was experienced with stick to try and it straight up wouldn't go into gear. The clutch was already out... I no longer felt it was actually my bad that it kept stalling. I could put it into a gear when the engine was off and start it in that gear(on gravel,)so I could still move it around
After we discovered its clutch was junk, we debated on what to do. I had done autotech for several years, but never changed out a clutch and I only had a small toolbox, no jacks, stands, and nobody with knowledge, or even the alldata diagrams to refer to. I didn't really want to do it, and we did not want to spend $700 for someone else to.. ended up sitting for months and months before my dad called some junkyard guys. Could have totally been fixed I just didn't have money or tools to do it. Plus if you've ever been in a perfectly maintained ford ranger from 89, even with the bigger V6, its slower than crap.
If your clutch pedal is pressed all the way down, nothing happens, the car starts normally(some modern cars might not want to start in the first place unless the gearstick is in neutral), if your clutch pedal is not pressed down(while in gear) and you try to start it up, the car will stall. ! Note that by pressing the clutch, you are disconnecting the transmission (and therefore the wheels as well) from the engine
Some cars sense this, when I leave it in first, it will pop up a message “depress clutch to start” if it’s in neutral, I can just depress the brake and it will start too
Do the exact tutorial facing up hill with removing the handbrake before even putting the car in gear 😂 but yeah, the bite point is actually the hardest part about s manual because it’s different in every car. Also on another note, you can actually change gear in a manual without using the clutch (wouldn’t recommend though)
Just a tip from someone that got into motorcycles off youtube videos, you’re only gonna learn off trial and error, but as long as you have the concept you should learn quickly
I can't believe after following your tik tok for a long time I just randomly came across this in my suggested list, Mustang still lookin clean and aggressive 👌👌👌👌
Clutch only has to be engaged to move the shift knob when the cars on, final step drive into a crowd and since your check engine light is on make sure the engine is in the engine bay
If u dont constantly tap rev before releasing the clutch pedal your going to wear down the clutch faster than usual letting any car off when releasing the clutch pedal without tapping/revving is going to make the clutch system get worn down faster than usual.
I don’t have a handbrake, so I park my truck in first. To start it, I push the brake in, then the clutch, and I simply turn the key to start. Then I shift to whichever gear (keep in 1 or R) and start driving.
Its actually kinda dope how vids like these can be educational. I know already how to do this but hill starts scared the shit out of me when i was learning. You should try do a vid on that
I’ve been riding dirtbikes since I was 14 and theee kinda the same thing so when I got my first manual I got the hand of it fast and now I drive manual with no problem
I know how it all works and I’ve once driven a manual pickup truck but still I can’t really drive a manual. It’s one thing to know how it’s done but you need practice to get the feel of it to be comfortable.
for most cars, if you don’t hold down the clutch when starting the engine and you’re on a steep road your car would roll down. (that’s why many also have a thing where it doesn’t even start if the clutch isn’t pressed)
you forgot to mention one step! you are supposed to wiggle the knob 3-5 times side to side before every shift because it makes your shifting wayyyy more cooler !!!
i first learned to drive manual on my friends 93 chevy s10, clutch and gas pedal were heavy so it was pretty hard, but i still learned a lot, yesterday i actually got quite the hand of it, i still need to improve but i can upshift from 2nd gear and up to 5th pretty well and come to a stop
I remember when my dad first gave me this lesson, I then continued to practice on my own for 2 months and most of the 1st month I couldn't handle the shifting well and barely successfully switched to 3rd gear. Now just a few years ago I drove a truck up a series of mountains during a storm lol 😅
Fun fact: slowly releasing the clutch will burn the clutch, try not to release it slowly, if you want to press it, press it all the way in, if you want to release it, release it all the way back, and also just for tips, if you're going uphill, NEVER, hit the clutch HALF, it will burn your clutch and it will not be a cheap cost repair
The only thing I learned differently is to not slowly release the clutch. Don't just side step off of it and do a burnout or stall. But don't ride the clutch at the bite point or you'll ruin it faster. Steady gas in and clutch out at the same time
When you use the clutch never put your heel on the ground, always keep your heel up because when your heel is on the ground when you’re in traffic and have to push the clutch in and then back up to the bite point, down again. Each time you do that the clutch will go lower on your feet until you can’t move the clutch back up
If you want to practice the bite point of a clutch then leave the handbrake on, you'll get it right when the rear on the car dips down then when you are ready you can move on to doing that and releasing the handbrake.
Something else, I don't know how it is for push start but for key start, you have to put it in neutral, push the clutch pedal in and turn the key then release the clutch
Dont forget to hold the brake when releasing the handbrake, and then also the hard part is trying to feed the car pull while you are holding the break. When you manage to get that part you release the brake slowly as well.
Okay so one thing wrong in this video, don't find the bite point of the clutch first then press acceleration, this leads to stalling. First go on the accelerator while holding down the clutch,, try to stay between 10 to 20rpm on the dashboard gauge when pressing the acceleration then release the clutch to the bite point for about 4 to 5 secs then let go of the clutch so you don't wear it out

I taught my ex in my 98 forester and she didn't stall once.. She could now drive a stick if she needed too lol I like ppl knowing how to drive stick.. It's a useful talent to have considering there aren't to many of us left and one day may be 0..
I guess in america there aren't a lot of manual car, here in Europe i'm pretty sure 90-95% of peoples driving knows how to drive a manual. Idk if it's like this in every european countrys but mostly we pass our driving licence on manual cars
I have no care to learn but I’ve done it in my truck but couldn’t with anything else. Respect to those who can drive standard
Oh this is a legit tutorial, i thought there was going to be a meme or sum
r is race mode, use it when ur on the highway

It’s funny that most people in the U.S. don’t know what a manual is.
Where exactly did you get that information?
@@bindodundid we saw Trump and assumed.
@@bindodundid 1. Nobody ever sees any vehicles with manual transmissions in the U.S. unless it’s a semi. 2. Multiple sources online say that only 16% of people in the U.S. can drive a standard transmission. 3. Common sense.
Garbage transmission
What's that R in the gear knob for "Rocket mode" 🔥
R for reverse
Race Mode, why would there be a rocket mode
We’ve heard that corny joke already clown
@@AngelFrench we’ve already heard someone b!tch!n about someone’s comment, why you doin it
@@AngelFrench its not corny if you drive a stick. Damn carless kids
Me already knowing how but just love watching car shit
another thing to mention there's 2 ways to keep the engine from stalling, the reason why it's stalling is due to the resistance that is experiencing the engine so you can either press the clutch a bit more in or give it more gas
Next up: “How to walk”.

@@user-zx2os9cs1p how to drink water
To be fair, we don't know how to do something until we learn 😂. For many of us, we don't know anyone with a manual car to help teach us. So we rely on the internet to do it's thing.
Keep your clutch heel on the floor to have better control
As soon as he pressed the brake with his left foot I started treating this as a meme
Its spelled brake not break
i'v been driving manual cars for 7 or 8 years now
but yet i kept watching this
I got a 1989 ford ranger, it was a total beater, was the first time I ever drove a stick. The old owner was extended family, and they told me to get it into first gear I had to rev it to 2k rpm while releasing the clutch... well i barely got it into gear from zero, was able to shift into 2nd or 3rd fairly easy. I probably killed it like 5 times getting it home. I let it sit in the drive way for a few days then wanted to go get some practice, so I got my friend who was experienced with stick to try and it straight up wouldn't go into gear. The clutch was already out... I no longer felt it was actually my bad that it kept stalling. I could put it into a gear when the engine was off and start it in that gear(on gravel,)so I could still move it around
After we discovered its clutch was junk, we debated on what to do. I had done autotech for several years, but never changed out a clutch and I only had a small toolbox, no jacks, stands, and nobody with knowledge, or even the alldata diagrams to refer to. I didn't really want to do it, and we did not want to spend $700 for someone else to.. ended up sitting for months and months before my dad called some junkyard guys. Could have totally been fixed I just didn't have money or tools to do it. Plus if you've ever been in a perfectly maintained ford ranger from 89, even with the bigger V6, its slower than crap.
I was like… your check engine light is on. Then I remembered it was a Ford. 🤣🤣🤣
What's that mean
You suggesting fords aren't reliable?
Starting it off with “obviously” is just how you know he is going to be the worst teacher ever
What happening if you but the transmission in the first gear and start the car with start button?
If your clutch pedal is pressed all the way down, nothing happens, the car starts normally(some modern cars might not want to start in the first place unless the gearstick is in neutral), if your clutch pedal is not pressed down(while in gear) and you try to start it up, the car will stall.
! Note that by pressing the clutch, you are disconnecting the transmission (and therefore the wheels as well) from the engine
Some cars sense this, when I leave it in first, it will pop up a message “depress clutch to start” if it’s in neutral, I can just depress the brake and it will start too
Thx guys so much for give me this information
@@KevBoy3D only thing depressed is me though
Explained it better than my Driving Instructor
Remember: 1-6 are your gears, if you are at you highest, just put in R (also called racingmode)
Do the exact tutorial facing up hill with removing the handbrake before even putting the car in gear 😂 but yeah, the bite point is actually the hardest part about s manual because it’s different in every car. Also on another note, you can actually change gear in a manual without using the clutch (wouldn’t recommend though)
If its a straight cut, you could do it. But only if you're moving of course.
You can do it in a normal transmission too you just have to match the rpm’s of the gearbox to that to the engine
@@stefanstefan2105 yeah but its not safe forcthe gearbox
Romans 1:16- Always pray never lose hope.❤️
I love manuals. Always struggled a bit on uphill stoplights though.
Wow thank you I totally know how to drive manual like pro now.
Just a tip from someone that got into motorcycles off youtube videos, you’re only gonna learn off trial and error, but as long as you have the concept you should learn quickly
I can't believe after following your tik tok for a long time I just randomly came across this in my suggested list, Mustang still lookin clean and aggressive 👌👌👌👌
Clutch only has to be engaged to move the shift knob when the cars on, final step drive into a crowd and since your check engine light is on make sure the engine is in the engine bay
If u dont constantly tap rev before releasing the clutch pedal your going to wear down the clutch faster than usual
letting any car off when releasing the clutch pedal without tapping/revving is going to make the clutch system get worn down faster than usual.
i like the way you're holding the gear stick
My man really hit the brake with his left foot pushed the handbrake button with his index finger
As a person who lives in the UK, most of us new drivers drive manual. Funny to see tutorials on RUclips about this
Getting a 2019 in manual excited for this new experience I’ve only ever driven auto
In the UK we have separate licences for auto and manual
I don’t have a handbrake, so I park my truck in first. To start it, I push the brake in, then the clutch, and I simply turn the key to start. Then I shift to whichever gear (keep in 1 or R) and start driving.
Its actually kinda dope how vids like these can be educational. I know already how to do this but hill starts scared the shit out of me when i was learning. You should try do a vid on that
I’ve been riding dirtbikes since I was 14 and theee kinda the same thing so when I got my first manual I got the hand of it fast and now I drive manual with no problem
Actually not a troll and pretty accurate im impressed
I'm 35. Been driving standard since I was 14. Everyone should know how to drive a standard even if nowadays they're being phased out
I know how it all works and I’ve once driven a manual pickup truck but still I can’t really drive a manual.
It’s one thing to know how it’s done but you need practice to get the feel of it to be comfortable.
for most cars, if you don’t hold down the clutch when starting the engine and you’re on a steep road your car would roll down. (that’s why many also have a thing where it doesn’t even start if the clutch isn’t pressed)
how does that work? doesn’t make any sense
Was expecting this to be a joke. Good work
You can also move the shifter without the clutch if you know how to match the revs too.
I just bought a mustang for my first car in standard I really enjoy it alot.
you forgot to mention one step! you are supposed to wiggle the knob 3-5 times side to side before every shift because it makes your shifting wayyyy more cooler !!!
Whoever plays car games when he is young, sure now he knows how to drive all kinds of cars
i first learned to drive manual on my friends 93 chevy s10, clutch and gas pedal were heavy so it was pretty hard, but i still learned a lot, yesterday i actually got quite the hand of it, i still need to improve but i can upshift from 2nd gear and up to 5th pretty well and come to a stop
I'm glad to see an actual tutorial even though i already know how to and not the 1-2-3-4-5-6 and R is for race mode bullshit
I remember when my dad first gave me this lesson, I then continued to practice on my own for 2 months and most of the 1st month I couldn't handle the shifting well and barely successfully switched to 3rd gear.
Now just a few years ago I drove a truck up a series of mountains during a storm lol 😅
Yup drove a manual g35 coupe and it was so fun learning now I’m getting a manual
If the car starts to shake, push the clutch all the way in to avoid stalling!
Good tip.
There are some cars where if you start to pull the clutch out before giving the car revs, it'll just stall instead of "biting"
Fun fact: slowly releasing the clutch will burn the clutch, try not to release it slowly, if you want to press it, press it all the way in, if you want to release it, release it all the way back, and also just for tips, if you're going uphill, NEVER, hit the clutch HALF, it will burn your clutch and it will not be a cheap cost repair
The way I learned was by my older cousin yelling at me until I figured it out
Man they are actually teaching people how to drive a manual. I taught myself that before I could drive legally 😂
It takes time to master and is highly adictive.
My driving tutor would slam my head into the steering wheel if he saw me holding that manual like that.😆
The only thing I learned differently is to not slowly release the clutch. Don't just side step off of it and do a burnout or stall. But don't ride the clutch at the bite point or you'll ruin it faster. Steady gas in and clutch out at the same time
When you use the clutch never put your heel on the ground, always keep your heel up because when your heel is on the ground when you’re in traffic and have to push the clutch in and then back up to the bite point, down again. Each time you do that the clutch will go lower on your feet until you can’t move the clutch back up
Mans braking with his left foot and releasing the handbrake with index finger,no way i trust this guy
If you want to practice the bite point of a clutch then leave the handbrake on, you'll get it right when the rear on the car dips down then when you are ready you can move on to doing that and releasing the handbrake.
I may already drive manual but this is very good for those who are learning
the lost art of stick driving..pretty soon no one will remember how to drive a stick
Something else, I don't know how it is for push start but for key start, you have to put it in neutral, push the clutch pedal in and turn the key then release the clutch
that is different for every car, would be annoying to do that though. I can start my car in any gear clutch in or out
Dont forget to hold the brake when releasing the handbrake, and then also the hard part is trying to feed the car pull while you are holding the break. When you manage to get that part you release the brake slowly as well.
You dont have to if youre on a level surface
Okay so one thing wrong in this video, don't find the bite point of the clutch first then press acceleration, this leads to stalling. First go on the accelerator while holding down the clutch,, try to stay between 10 to 20rpm on the dashboard gauge when pressing the acceleration then release the clutch to the bite point for about 4 to 5 secs then let go of the clutch so you don't wear it out
'muriiiicaaaaa, look at me mom! I'm driving a manual, I'm soooo special, duuuur duuuur!
You do know that the manual transmission is virtually non existent here right?
