The hardest part for someone to learn Manual is to take the car to the learning spot in the first place
Well for me its actually finding a car to learn in at some point soon. Although I dont know how things will change when i get a permit, and later on a license
Technically the truth
😆
@@aaravs524 Could always find a cheap honda with a stick. I’m currently looking for an Acura RSX Type-S for my first manual although they’ve been quite hard to find but I have come across multiple manual civics with good miles.
@@xuavrice2338 yeah a cheap Honda seems like exactly what I will end up needing. They can also be nice and practical too
“You here to buy the car?“
“Yeah”
*watches this in the driver seat*
Did this with my gfs ‘16 Miata lol. I know how to drive stick but she didn’t. Took it for a test drive and basically showed her exactly what to do like the video. Been 6 months and she can now drive all 3 of our manual cars like a true pro!
This is literally me 😂😂😂
HAHAHHA I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Most older cars, you can’t just move off using the clutch. The car will stall. You need to accelerate a little while you come off the clutch.
Yes! Mine doesnt make enough torque to do it on its own either. I gotta give it some help.
I think I’ll just get an automatic car💀 I was driving my dad’s car at 13, but that was a jeep not no damn math test to drive a car
@@zay_gzs5635If you love cars, i promise its the best thing ever. I get so bored just driving an automatic, the thrill of shifting and having more control over my car makes me smile like a child.
Balance the clutch and the gas
If it still stall then push the gas a little more then slowly release clutch
I have never lifted off the clutch without feeding the engine with the accelerator and I’ve been driving manuals for 33 years.
pro tip: go to a driving school and they'll even tell you what you're doing wrong...
still nice to see people tryna help others tho :)
Let them be, random person. I certainly like these car guys helping young car guys out.
@@r7kan.alexzi10 litteraly says "still nice to see people tryna help other tho"
Even in America? Argh I want to learn (dont have a license yet) and there are almost no manual drivers, and on top of that, none of them know me. So I doubt they'd want me in their car trying it out myself
Driving school is stupid and a waste of money
@@yujiro5677 fax
Honestly the most that would help anyone with this is help begin explaining the bite point of the clutch.
How about finding the right seat adjustment for the driver first?
And that you add fads while still on the clutch not after the clutch is completely off
Yeah the biting point needs to be pointed out. Also slight accelerator is needed in alot of cars to get it rolling or you will stall. Especially if you are on a hill then it is necessary.
My dad told me once, hey buddy you feel it hook. I mastered it soo fast that’s to that 1 top
Or when in doubt push the clutch in. If it is about to stall you can always put the clutch in and keep the engine running and the car from bucking

They learn it under 30 minutes so
Hi
When he let off the clutch I went “stall”
Try gas to 1k-2k first then slight lift off the clutch you will learn where the bite point is after a while
Lol I think Mazda actually has anti stall features built in so you CAN just use clutch no gas.
In my 2010 speed3, it would drop you like a bad habit if you tried to do that without gas!
@@ritkid1 I had a 2014 or 2015 Mazda 3 and yes you have to gas plus clutch
@@ritkid1 same with my Boxster S - you stall immediately if you try that with no gas
@@1pyroace1 when I tried doing it in my dad's bmw 520d m sport when I lift my foot off the clutch it would just stall straight away

@@raiin2032 of course, not sure they made a diesel one and definitely not after the 90s. i can also push it around the garage pretty easily and im not strong at all
@@arcanevoid9199 definitely agree if it’s in neutral, but in 1st gear, there’s no way it goes forward without dying
Edit: happy to hear another celica owner btw ahah
True for my little 3 cyl suzuki as well 😂
One tip: if you start to feel the car roll, dont take ur foot as fast from the clutch that is shown in the video! The car won't stall, but it will jump awkwardly forward.
Using Kangaroo petrol that is called
So lift the clutch slowly until its fully of the foot?
@@Garfire1 you can do that as slow as possible, but its not ideal without using the throttle. Only egines with a lot of torque can handle this comfortably without the use of throttle, like a diesel or powerful petrol/gasoline engine. It's much better to find the balance between clutch and throttle. When you start to feel the clutch grip to the engine (car starts vibrating, maybe even rolling a little bit) you need to give it a little bit of throttle. Just keep practicing this until you find the perfect balance between lifting the clutch and giving some gas. This will also differ from car to car. Goodluck!
Never *forget* that "R" is for race mode!
Truth has been spoken!
That will certainly get the heart racing
😂😂🙊🙊
Yeh I tried that on dual carriageway:) and it works perfectly

“Just starting from 0 is the hardest thing in a manual”
Try parking on a incline
Not that hard, i literally have to parallel park a manual car on an incline every day
@@meowritz not saying it isn’t hard just saying it’s harder to do that than not stall lmao
@@dashshay I haven't parked on an incline, but the first time I tried stuck, I didn't stall. There were some rough jumps and such, as is life, but not stalling isn't hard, just gotta think before doing. So I'd say your right on parking on an incline, though if I'm not mistaken, you clutch in, neutral, handbrake, clutch out, if car still moves, say fuck, and try again.
@@Red-Line71 if your on an incline always leave your car in 1st gear. This will stop it from rolling too far If the handbrake fails
@@h-mraps2684 I always park in 6th. Higher gear ratio equals more turns of the engine for it to move which equals less of a chance the weight of the car rolling is going to overcome the compression and let it keep going.
Pro Tip: to get a good start off the line, redline it in neutral then jump to the highest gear.

As an European, where most of us learns to drive manual from the start. This is very funny. I've never driven an automatic
Automatic is common here in Merica
Yeah same here in Australia manual is really common I drive one and I'm 17
@StupidGOD True... But soon every car would be automatic, cuz ev's.
@StupidGOD true more people text and drive in autos
Doesn't really require much skill driving a automatic car I'm glad I have a Manual

because it takes longer than a YT short to teach someone how do drive manual 😂
Was still a pretty terrible explanation tho so not too far off
me: how the heck am i supposed to drive it to an empty parking lot if i dont know how to drive it?
I was just having bad day practicing and I accidentally put it in 3rd gear by accident ,also realized why when stopping it is a very good choice to always put in neutral when stopping because there is a good chance a beginner will forget to put it in 1st and try to move from start on their last gear they were using
My 1st car was an NA diesel and was more than happy to let you pull away in 3rd. You could easily pull away in 2nd with no throttle whatsoever as well.
What about the „race mode”?
yes,
1. hold the clutch all the way to the floor
2. move the gear shift to “R”
3. slowly take off foot on clutch
4. press accelerator at the max
I was waiting for that ;)
I clicked on this video hoping for the Race Mode... I’m a bit disappointed, my dear Kebab Gaming (love that name)
It is only accessible at 6th gear
Yes bro I just got a call from yesterday. Good night 4534
r stands for race mode, so whenever you're on the highway and your already at max gear and your at top speed and you need to overtake someone just go to race mode step on the pedal go back into whatever gear and go on with your day
Oh god 😂
If you have a more recent car it won't let you. If you have an older car it also won't let you and will tell you off by doing an horrible grinding noise as u bearly push it into the slot. Trust me I've tried accidentally after switching from a long drive in a six speed to a five speed very shortly after.
@Mara Knochs even if you dont have a turbo it also makes sense. Cars have their peak HP high up in the revs
Oh thanks I'll make sure to do that tomorrow just got my first car :")
Race backwards you mean... 🤣🤣
I have a 2016 Mazda MX-5 and I learned the manual transmission really quickly and is really easy to use and has a very efficient engine built.
„If you re in gear it wont shake that much“
Me and my 96‘ vauxhaull looking each other while giggling
Just know this: every time you want to shift gears, you have to step on the clutch.
You can do it without clutch by revmatching...but it's possible you'd need one or two transmission rebuilds to learn.
Don't forget to let go of gas pedal.☝️
@@Psych0technic sometimes my floor mat moves and gets my accelerator stuck so on a downshift or something ill slam up to 7k rpm just in neutral 😐 always fun. not
@@zanechristiansen sounds like it’s time to do a floor mat delete
@@AR-zq9hq you still need the clutch while Rev matching, you’re talking about clutchless shifting which isn’t good to do in general
Taking your foot off the clutch when it just barely bites and moves the car will stall the car, when you feel the clutch engaging start from there to help it with the gas pedal up to 1500 rpm and then release the clutch the rest of the way but still slower than in the video.
1,500rpm is too high from a dead stop, the lower the Rpm the longer the lifespan of the clutch will last. At least 700-800Rpm is perfect from a standstill stop.
@@static_Tricolor_camry the guys who are just learning to drive standard tranny will have a hard time not stalling out so the more rpm the easyer is to not stall and as they progress and know how to drive it they can lower the rpm if they care about 30k miles extra on the clutch.
Every single car has different engine, transmission, clutch, gearbox, they will all have different biting points and will each require different rpms to engage/disengage from the clutch throughout all the gears. Your car will yes likely need about 1500rpm, but everyone else will be different.
@@static_Tricolor_camry wrong... I go to 2000 in my Z and it works just fine.
seriously depends on the car
Instructions unclear : I ended up becoming a monk in monastery in China
the hardest part is adjusting to other cars clutches, some catch on at 90% some at 30%

He was doing everything right fuck you mean XDDD
excuse me
I'm afraid you're doing something wrong there Ed
Yea he would actually have a worse problem of a broken gear or something important if done all the time
In older manuals you must press the accelerator and clutch halfway simultaneously.
FACTS
Your going to need to "tickel" the accelerator (Gas) in any manual car!
And do not bring it up fast like the poster said you will wear the clutch plate out fast.
this is helpful in every manual cars
No joke.. I was playing assetto tonight in my Vr sim and noticed that! It threw me off haha 😂
@@unlimitedexistence1355 so you like it when they play with your assetto?
“Find an empty parking lot”
*I’M STILL STUCK IN MY DAMN DRIVEWAY*
PS: i recommend to use the clutch slightly earlier than the brake and to press it down faster to make sure that you activated it fully when stopping
I remember being like 5 years old thinking there were 3 pedal for going forward, backwards and braking.
I’m pretty sure that’s roughly how the Ford Model T works actually, so your 5 year old intuition is technically correct

@@kendivedmakarig215 I’m just gonna go out on a limb here, automatics are much better. People say that manuals are more fun and like you said apparently it’s feminine to drive an automatic but automatics are just easier to drive, I don’t want to worry about shifting gears all the time, pressing the clutch when an automatic is just easier, and before you call me gay for liking automatics, I DON’T OWN A CAR so hop off your high horse and just shut the hell up
I've been thinking whether or not i should go for an automatic or manual license, but i do want flexibility in my car choices, and seeing you do this kinda gave me confidence that i can do manual!

When my dad started teaching me how to drive a manual I didn't want to leave the empty lot bc I was so nervous to stall in traffic. Finally did it and got over that fear and it actually helped my timing alot better.
With no valid license ?
I stalled in traffic and wanted to die. It was a humbling experience
@Davidpmp1928 😂😂😂
It's not illegal to drive on the street without a license? Where are you from?
That was my biggest anxiety when I was still learning
It's weird that i'm watching this, since i'm from Finland and i'm perfectly aware of how manual transmission works nearly having my (manual) drivers licence with only driving test left.
PS: In Finland manual drivers licence is standard so most of us drive a stick.
Hyvä nähdä suomalaisia täällä!
Same thing for me (im from Brazil)
Same here in India.most of the people here don't have automatic transmission car even i don't have one and i don't know how to drive a automatic transmission car.
In the uk at least 95% of people learn to drive in a manual
in austria you're not even allowed to drive a manual if you did your drivers test in an automatic
Wow that was actually helpful thanx
Me and my dad test drove a 780hp stick mustang and put me behind the wheel in a pack parking lot of some shopping center. Also Diddent stall once, but i did accidentally spin the back wheels.
Don’t just slip the clutch until it starts to slowly move, you have to add some throttle when releasing the clutch, or you’ll wear out the clutch and/or stall out every time
Nah you won't stall (unless you suck) and there will be no abnormal wear. Most of the time clutches fail if you overheat and glaze the eff out of them.
Someone isn't experienced enough with efficient clutch release
In a diesel car if you floor the clutch and slowly remove your foot your engine won’t stall and your car will run at a crawling speed. I have done it till 3rd gear without even touching the gas paddle. When at 3rd gear the car runs at 30 kmph. The clutch doesn’t wear as a matter of fact the mileage increases significantly. Same thing can be done in a petrol car but it needs more bhp.
Clutch won't wear, it'll actually wear more if it's slipping on a higher rpm.
Adding throttle will wear it more.
I learned how to drive with a manual but I’m still voluntarily watching this video
I have a Manual . It is not as easy as He is saying it
@@wallyray62 true, and different cars have different clutch characteristics. He just mentioned the very basic principles.
In Europe is more common the manual cars. So, no one's trying to show off his skills, because is normal to drive a manual car. In addition, people do not clarify that they have a manual car, because it is understood that they have that car
@@adaplay13 I always envy you Europeans. You get a looooot of cars with manual. Here in Southeast Asia (at least in my country), most cars are only offered in auto with no manual option. No manual A3, Focus, M4, 911, Mustang, and everything else. They exist of course, but either it’s a base trim cheap car or something very rare like a 911 R. You can import any car as long as it’s not a used car (unless you’re willing to pay a lot of money) so you can always request anything to your dealership, but heavy traffic means hardly anyone want to drive a manual.
Keep in mind that smaller engines need gas as you slowly release the clutch and it starts to bite, and there is no reason to release the clutch that quickly clutches dont like shock and it can increase wear
Tickle the gas pedal
This is the best instruction I have ever seen, I have been driving stick all my life but I am not good at teaching others to drive, this one helps, thanks 🙏
"How to stall a manual transmission car" is more like it. You need to rev the engine by pressing the throttle at the same time that you let go of the clutch. In a fluid motion.
*edit: typo*
he‘s not driving a normal manual car. newer manuals sometimes have start aid where you can almost completely let go off the clutch without pressing the gas pedal and it will slowly speed up (just like most automatic cars will slowly speed up when you let go of the brakes).
@@XYZ-bb4fd the ND Miata doesn’t have that. My 2018 as well as the 2021’s I’ve driven are normal manuals. No start aid or rev match, gotta do it all yourself.
Actually you don't have to do that unless on a hill.
I have been driving manual trans since I started and I don't give it gas unless I wanna to a quick takeoff or have to start on a hill.
@@nateholden7598 I was mainly referring to rev matching. I've never actually heard of start aid on a manual before.
@@jakashh Nether have I.
But I prefer what I like to call a true manual.

Where you also have a spark lever and no synchros.
In that kind of transmission/vehicle you have to adjust everything manually.

The taking the foot off the clutch sllllooooooowwwwwlllllyyyy is the key part here when getting the car rolling

Hmmm. Been driving manual cars since 1989 with my first Mustang GT. Who would want to go back to automatic?
My uncle tried to teach me the same way. What you guys didn’t mention is you gotta give it a little gas or your gonna be stalling it all day. Light gas and release the clutch.

as someone who owns a manual as of the day i make this comment, this seems simple and is good for a 60 second short, but by no means conveys how difficult it actually is to drive stick, especially after only driving auto. parking lots are also good, but finding areas that have some slope to practice starting on helps as well
I saw the shifter and I'm like: oooo a Miata.
I was not disappointed.
The funny thing is, is that people who already know how to drive a manual watch this, like me. And people who are not bothered to learn and cannot drive manual will skip this video haha
Bro, Do we have to press accelerator at 1st gear?
@@amitrawat588 yes slightly
Clutch is your best friend. Best tip is to practice in a parking lot and on hills. You will stall on hills when you first start. So mastering them early can save you some humility. Reverse is also a point of difficulty as for some cars the car pulls you back and you're not ready. Best way to learn is definitely by doing though, you'll mess up alot but you'll get good.
+100 on this one! Learned driving stick on winding narrow uphill and downhill streets. Makes your clutch game spot on!😁
Ngl he got that Logitech shift knob
The funnest part is when you're going uphill. So fun.
When I teach people to drive stick I don’t even start with them using the gas pedal. I let them get to know how the clutch works and where it catches by practicing using the idle. If u do it right you’ll be able to get the car moving by the idle speed alone.
You sir are a great instructor 🙌
My instructor taught me that, too. The car was junk, though, with overly sensitive accelerator pedal and would jump from the start if you apply even the modest amount of gas.
Yes
It's weird seeing all the comments that says "you have to Rev at 1,500 rpm from stop just to move" they don't know idle alone is enough.
Yes!! You dont need the gas pedal to get rolling.
Fact no one needs to know: In Germany we have restrictions in our drivers license wich tells you if you are allowed to drive a car with manual transmission: You are only allowed to to drive cars with manual transmission if you did your drivers license with a manual transmission car. You have to take additional driving lessons wich cost you arround 2000$ if you want to drive manual transmission if you only have a automatic drivers license.
That is the dumbest shit I’ve heard. What is the reasoning behind that?
In England theirs Automatic and Manual driving tests and you have to start again if you want to drive a manual if you have an automatic licence
@@charliejackson7640 but why I just don’t see a reason behind that. You learn to drive a stick in like a day or 2 at most
@@patrickweir8382 it's the same here in France. I think it's better for security because some people are dumb as fuck and even after hours of practice they can't understand how a clutch works lmao
@@osrmxmaster1422 It's not for everybody.
If you don't press the gas whilst letting go off the clutch the car will stall/turn off with older cars. Just to keep in mind if you're not driving a newer car, also gasoline vs diesel makes a huge difference
Lol I learned in a petrol car but after passing my test I got my Mums diesel she said go steady it probably won't be forgiving as the car you learnt in. It was nearly impossible to stall it. The car would set off in 3rd gear without stalling and I even got with accidentally dumping the clutch in 4th gear at 8mph thinking I was in 2nd.

The hardest part of learning a manual now is finding a manual car
We had couple new civic hatch manuals arrive on the lot and I must say it's literally child's play. With all the assists the clutch is like a sponge and takes the fun right out of it. Quite disappointing
Great tutorial!
One small comment on breaking at the end: you should actually only push on the break without touching the clutch when you start breaking. This helps you break more effectively because you're also engine breaking. Only start pushing on the clutch too at the end when you're about to come to a full stop (so you don't stall).
My dad used to drive a 1993 Izuzu Amigo with a manual transmission, and when he drove an automatic, he accidentally brake checked the person behind him when he tried to shift
exactly, that's why when you shift to automatic people always tell you to only use your right foot, for both throttle and breaking, that way it's harder to mess up; if you use left foot for brake you'll automatically go for "clutch" which is nonexistent
Most important lesson from a longevity standpoint not covered in this short is not to ride your clutch. Aka when you are at a stop put it in neutral and take your foot off the clutch. You'll reduce wear and tear on your clutch and throw out bearing.
Key part to learning is finding the contact point in every clutch as you release it from the bottom. It will hit a point where it’s just about to stall and needs to add rpm or it will die. That is step 1 so you understand how a clutch works
Instead of adding rpm you can hold your foot at that point and let the car do its thing
That’s the first thing I had to learn, driving a 94 triton with a government replaced heavy duty clutch that is extremely late. You’ve almost got to pull the clutch all the way out before hitting the balance point and contact point.
Everybody gangsta manual fan until it’s an uphill road or traffic
Him:how to drive a stick
Me:I don't want to drive a stick I want to drive a car
You've just shown how to stall the car really 😂 you can lift the clutch faster but maybe not quite that fast
I'm sayin. Trying to explain manual in a short video is probably the dumbest thing I've seen. Pt2 pt3 pt4 doesn't matter but watch a genuine tutorial that doesn't try to squeeze things into a certain time frame.
I did this once an made my grandpas truck buck like a fucking horse for 20 feet or so before it stalled
just pause when you feel the bite and than lift off completely
First, let go of the clutch to see where the car will die at
Quick tip if you see a R on the stick make sure you shift it to the R when you top out the gears it stands for race mode like it gives you an extra boost and allows the engine to get more air
For me the hardest part was learning to start on a hill. The rest only took a few minutes of practice back and forward in an empty parking lot to gain familiarity. It's those hills i didn't like.
How would you get to said empty parking lot if you can’t already drive stick 😂

You see that r gear position
It's called rocket mode in case some dude with a Lamborghini challenges you for a race
Imagine being a grown ass man learning this like its some special skill
Don't forget to tell them about R for "Race mode"
It's fun to see people learning to drive a manual car, in my country, most of the people uses manual cars lol
This is really useful for someone who is just starting to drive a manual, nice tips 👍
U have to get to the bite point and then give it a little gas 1500 rpm do not quickly get ur foot off the clutch or u will either stall or wear the clutch out which will cost u alot. This guy is wrong once u have gotten to the bite point and given it a little gas then slowly complete ur release off the clutch :)
@@danthesolarman6480 that’s good to know, thanks for the info
daamn.....
Damn I'm always amazed by this kind of video haha, everyone only drives manual gear box in Europe. You forgot to mention that you need to give a little gas when releasing the clutch, the car is usually to heavy to roll only with the clutch, especially if it's flat / slightly uphill
When I was learning manual the hardest part for me was downshifting smoothly.
Its for diesel tho, the others need a bit of reving in combo with the clutch to go
Nah, you can totally do it without gas in a petrol car as well. Unless you kinda suck.
@@AR-zq9hq it really depends. The car I drove at the auto moto school barely made it with gas so yeah...
@@cristiandinulescu688 clutch control. I've done it in a Lada.
@@AR-zq9hq up hill in my old 45hp polo with a passenger has to be pinned to even have a chance LMAO
If my car is cold and the ECU/TB is dumping in lots of fuel and revs are already high, I can get going without feeding fuel for obvious reasons. Once at op temp I have to feed fuel or else it will cut out. This is probably true with many manual cars.
“If you’re in gear it wont shake around as much”
Me in my Integra: laughs in Vtec
“Laughs in worn shifter bushings”
Some petrol cars won't pull on just the clutch itself, you have to balance the gas and the clutch, it's also important to hold the clutch for a little bit, not immediately release as you did. Finding the bite it's called. For a hill start for example you're going to want to hold that clutch half lifted approximately while giving it gas, a bit more than for flat and don't release the clutch till the gears completely engaged with N kangarooing or stalling. Older petrols are more prone to stalling if you don't get this just right. Diesels are easier. All a lot more fun than an automatic imo.
The best way I’ve heard someone explain it good hob
"u can tell ur in neutral if u can shake it left and right"
Me: *laughts in a e30*
When going from 0 mph and letting of the clutch usually you should think that:
When letting go from the clutch have the rpm around 2000
Also think that the effect of the clutch is noticeable the higher up you are. “Let go slowly and then all the way” isn’t a great tip, it should be more like “let go of the clutch in normal speed but the higher up you come the more slower you go”
Remember also every car is geared differently while 2,000 works for you it may be different for someone else’s vehicle
You don't need to use the gas but it's way faster with gas because you can let go off the clutch faster
It's better to use the accelerator, and shift into the 2nd gear. Being in the 1st gear isn't good for the clutch plate.
@@gamechep Please explain to me how being in first gear damages the clutch in any way? I learned manual on a 600whp mustang gt, and it's never needed any tranny work, besides the time my dumbass burnt the clutch out by riding it like my life depended on it.
@@isaiah3735 lol I think you burning the clutch answered your question
Instructions unclear, I am sitting in the pilot seat of a 747
You’re a lifesaver. Now i can flee with this car i just took.
Watching this type of videos its just so weird, since I live in Spain and I've been driving manual for 6 years now
Everyone knows how to drive manual... except americans 👀
@@qualcunoacaso4865 And Asians.
@@qualcunoacaso4865
I agree but manual transmission is dying out. New cars wont have them anymore. There is already less and less cars that have them.
@@CanariasCanariass depends, outside from america it's still the commonest choice. but ev has no gears so
@@qualcunoacaso4865 I understand sports cars but I still don't know why most of the world still drives manual normal cars. Autos are easier to drive, often more efficient and you don't have to worry about replacing the clutch.
