Usually people say, "this is harder than it looks"....however this is hard and it sounds and looks just as hard.
Just realized you wanted to drive stick
@Wave Man Mike Man I see you everywhere
@@jbg_22 i know right😂😂😂 no matter where i am on youtube hes there
maybe but driving stick is easier than it looks
It is not!!!! It’s just practice practice practice
Instructions unclear, ended up turning a family of 5 to a family of 4

Best comment on here hahahahaha
Agreed. Dum MoFo says "key here is to slowly " and Pulls his foot off the Clutch at the Fastest speed I've ever seen anyone take foot off the clutch. Lmao
Bruh😂
Instructions to complicated got foot stuck in exhaust pipe
when you've just learnt how to use the correct your.
At what point in the video did he say get out of the car and head to the exhaust... bruhh
Lmfao😂😂
LMFAOO
jorjeeoe I am 14 and I know how to drive manual 😁
this looks harder than ap calculus
MURDACIDEBOY it's easy if Yu think that's hard try double clutching lol
MURDACIDEBOY not even. It looks harder because you're watching it. Doing it makes this process easy.
MURDACIDEBOY it’s much easier than you think tbh
MURDACIDEBOY - it’s easy, hill stars are worse, especially if you don’t have a hill assist feature.

How to drive stick 101:
click away from this video
find a friend with a stickshift car
Go to empty parking lot
Destroy clutch
Brag to friends that you can drive a stick
Cristian Mendez why did you just explain my story
@@tallguyty7991 mine too
This is actually me rn lol underrated comment for sure 💯
Pretty fucking much.
Thats what i did minus the brag part
"Unless you decide to have a backwards race with someone" priceless
I let go of the clutch and reversed into oncoming traffic and died while watching this video
rip
LMAO
💀
😂
I laughed too hard at this
Just went to a dealership and picked out a manual car off the lot. Will be driving it home next Friday having never driven stick in my life. Gonna watch this video a solid 100x between now and then and wish for the best.
ctcourtking how did it go? I'm in the same boat
Ann Cee so I didn’t watch this video nearly 100x, but I really didn’t have to. Driving the car off the lot and getting it home was no problem, but Day-to-day travel and the inner city stuff was really a struggle. Navigating traffic for the first few days can be nerve-wracking. Gain as much knowledge as you can, but what will help tremendously is obv just getting to an open space and getting a feel for your car and the gears will be the best thing. I’ve now driven a number of different manual cars with no trouble.
ctcourtking thank you! Makes me feel a lot better :)
Thats good ctcourtking. First time I bought a stick I was 18 and didnt know anything I just bought the car and took it in first gear all the way home lol damn did I have a big line of cars in back of me lol this is in chicago like 2004 it took me like 3 days to fully learn cause the car was gonna be my daily for work.
How did your first hill start go? Hope you didnt roll back into someone.
First time I ever drove a stick shift by myself I stalled out 5 times in McDonald's drive thru. 😂😂 People behind me were pissed
Damn bro I'm nervous that'll happen to me!!!!
I remember when I first drove a standard by myself was in my dad and stepmom's old Subaru Impreza to go to McDonald's (I worked there at the time) and I took the long way there as I wanted to avoid the hills (they're super small hills. Barely hills actually). Didn't stall the car but did on the way back home. That was 4 years ago and I have my own car now that's standard and I've driven it in stop and go traffic uphill (on a huge hill. Probably the biggest hill in the city honestly). It was scary and frustrating at first but so worth it. I'll never go back to driving an automatic.
I’m learning how to drive my 2016 stick shift Nissan and this video is very helpful... learning to actually get the car going without stalling it is always the hardest part for me!
Same. I've just started trying to learn stick and starting/stopping are my main issues. I stalled out several times and somehow managed to leave skid marks lol.
Pretty easy when you get hold of it
YOU THINK YOU CAN TALK ANY FASTER FOR US BEGINNERS
me & you hahahahah
Really tho
I second that
Lmao for real tho..
Speed control, like in a car, exists for youtube videos.
I gave up 49 seconds in
Gm Visuals Me too i sat down. to watch this video in my head im like let's do this time to focus . But then he said. dont fully let go of the clutch on (R). i know i would be that one person who would panic and let go of the clutch 😞
Gm Visuals shit seem hard af
Gm Visuals same
Gm Visuals right 😂
😂😂
For me the hardest part was reversing. I mean, starting and stopping was the true challenge at first. But after that was reverse, I fully engaged the first time. Until watching this video I was unsure if feathering the clutch was the way to do it.
Yeah, try reversing with a stick shift car on a hill. Oh, and to parallel park to boot. What a nightmare.
Ive taught several people how to drive a stick. This is a very well done explanation. Especially when you were talking about the catch point.
No wonder bmw drivers dont use there blinkers 😂😂😂😂

@@niknok8116 BMW drivers not using their blinkers is a common joke nowadays and since the car used in this apparently complex video is a BMW, the joke saying "BMW drivers already have so much to focus on while driving that they forget about the blinkers."
You don't know anything about cars.
"Such as pulling out of your moms garage or parking lots"😂😂😂😂
x5150xi Gaming lol
Ain’t it, I was gonna see if anyone else commented it before I did lol
Right when I was reading this I heard it in the video to?
His mom has a parking lot?
Hey at least he visits his mom! (I just happen to be a mom so, yeah its a good thing lol )
Best instructional video by far man! No flexing, no nonsense introduction, just straight into the video with no fluff commentary.
Honestly ,this video helped me so much that I’m able to drive stick, I thought I would never learn also taught me not stall out. Thank you for explaining in words I understand. Helped me find the sweet spot on the clutch and when to add more gas
People say "just lightly tap on the brake" I did that and the fuckin thing wasn't gonna stop at the stop sign.
+Cole Duvall One thing I do is push in the clutch + pop it in neutral when stopping. You can brake as quickly as you want (but be very mindful of who's behind you, very important) but make sure you hold in the clutch the entire time, or make sure the gearbox is in neutral when stopping.
One other thing, having the clutch pushed in, its the same thing as having the stick in neutral; power from the engine is not being transferred to the wheels. If you stop with it in gear and don't put it in neutral (or hold in the clutch) it will stall the engine; it puts too much stress on the engine for it to keep running.
+RetroMegabyte man, your comment made complete fuck in sense. thanks
+RetroMegabyte that was very helpful thanks
Pushing the clutch is like putting your car in neutral. It allows your car to break or change gears smoothly, if you don't you are practically going against the grain and will destroy your vehicle. Typically just push down the clutch.. and break like you would on a normal car
Just noticed someone already mentioned it. Also: You will need to start from 0 Speed back up, so putting your stick in neutral should also be a normal thing for you. You'll need to bring your stick down to 1 and restart the manual game anyways.
dude, this was by far the best tutorial for me. the way you explained it was right to the point. a person like me needs simple lessons like this, thanks I appreciate this!!
Seneca Gunz i agree

Fuck you man. You drive a riced prius
Finally a video that shows how the car moves while pressing/releasing the clutch. thank you man!
Towid Khan you’re very welcome 2 years later!
@@GuysWithRides cool video man
@@GuysWithRides guys with rides;
First off, great tutorial. Most persons are scared drivimg manual, so its why they make up dumb excuse of u not being clear. The driving part and even reverse are super easy to me. The challenge is *BRAKING SUDDENLY!* I was hoping your tutorial would.cover it.
So if have to brake suddenly, do i hold down the clutch while braking? Do i downshift, then brake? Lets say i'm in 3rd gear, can i bring straight to nuetral and brake from there? I jist need to know how to do it properly and *CONFIDENTLY!*
Thanks dude!
@@leonardobraynen1524 If you have to brake suddenly, just press both the clutch AND the brake and keep holding.
Don't worry about what gear you are in or even touching the shifter, just stay on the brake and clutch so you stop without stalling!
Your focus should be pressing the brake AND clutch while EYES STAY FORWARD.
Once the danger has passed, whatever it may be, you can shift back into neutral or first.
@@qx4n9e1xp i got tht, Q thanks!
Took alotta trial & error but 8mths on i can honestly say i can break my car, no sweat. I naturally throw the car in nuetral even from 3rd gear. If am on a curve, i downshift a bit- and even if am in neutral, if the car at a certain speed i can go direct to 2nd shift easy!!!!
My woman thinks i've been driving for YEARS & YEARS!!! She amazed i can do what i do and still keep my eyes on the road, like a normal car!
Thank GOD !!!! A guy who just gets RIGHT into it without a bunch of condescending "MANSPLAINING" like these other Poindexters...THANK YOU
3:50 I wasn't aware my mom owned any parking lots
Why am I watching this? I've been driving for 7 years
Me too but never a stick and after this video I dont think I ever will 😂😂
I have been driving for 14 years and thought it would be a good time to learn how to drive stick. Am an old man here lol. Just like the rest of you guys Iearned on an Automatic
Rosie Fabian trust me it’s easy once you learn how to take off it becomes second nature
Oh yeah? Well I been driving twice as long!
@@JesusisKing03 i mean i dont think the guy was a bad teacher. Driving part is easy- just like he said, start the car in clutch. Then slowly release the clutch while lightly pressin gas and then let go. Make sure clutch is in 1st gear and then car will indicate when to shift. Its like balancing on a bike. I was waiting for the guy to show how to stop suddenly while shifting- that can be a lil tricky. I used to have it down pack but havnt drive in 5yrs so jist needed a refresher!
1. Push the clutch pedal.
2. Engage first gear.
3. Push the gas pedal to the metal.
4. Release the clutch pedal fast while keeping the gas pedal to the metal.
5. Have fun while hearing your tires.
6. Go back to the shop for the 6th time for new tires and clutch pads
This was really super helpful thank you guys so much for making this and showing the different angles and foot pedals for specific motions and the thorough explanation, this was very helpful!
After going back and forth, i decided to get a 2009 Suzuki Swift stick shift. Sure automatics are easier but i LOVE CHALLENGES! I just needed a brief refresher course on this! I used to drive stick regularly on my job but its been many yrs since. This is my 1st manual car and i'm gonna love it! This tutorial guy made it real easy amd simple for me. Thanks man!
I've been driving Manual for 13 years and your video is by far the best trainer's video on how to drive Manual you did something no one else has done you actually showed people how to reverse in a Manual car without riding the clutch thumbs up bro
"Pulling out of your mom's garage and parking lots"
Great little video thanks. In Australia, we have a very high % of drivers that prefer and drive what we call "manual cars", what you call stick shift. For other viewers, no its not hard as the video shows. The key is to slowly release the clutch, not quickly. After a few hours practice, in a safe empty parking lot etc, you'll get the hang of it. Then you'll never go back to auto since manual gives you that feel that finally you're in control of your car. Thanks!
No, you'll never go back to automatic because you'll slam the brakes the first time you go to shift because there's no clutch.
It might be a good idea to mention that you want to slowly engage the clutch because too much shaking that you might feel will stall the car. My friend was just teaching me how to drive stick and said to pay attention to vibrations starting to happen and to limit these vibrations to avoid stalling.
I just trashed my car
Prettyboyretard ll you must really suck 😂😂😂 that was funny bro ufff I learned it in 10 mins driving a stick is pretty simple. Just practice in first gear like in the video then everything is easy. So about 5 mins on first the other 5 on the gears and you set 🤷🏻♂️
Darvin Gil Reyes That made no sense
@@brodyalquist61 TuFf
Brody Alquist bro stick is simple I’ll say it in a simpler way. 10 mins right? You spend 5 mins practicing and figuring out the biting point of the clutch, as soon as you get first gear down the remaining 5 minutes can be spent in the rest of the gears which is pretty self explanatory if you got 1st down. Get it? Down shifting comes later just learn the basics of first gear and you’ll be good!!
V8 Bimmer cringe
Just got my first manual. This video offered some great tips! I got The hang of all the other gears besides shifting into first from a standstill and this video really helped me out! I liked as soon as you launched the car in reverse 😂. Great video!
I've only driven for 1 week but I wanted to know how to back up carefully and I found this video and I'm not disappointed!
Thank you for this helpful video. I needed a refresher because I haven't driven a stick in 30+ years. I had a Toyota Celica 5-speed in the late '80's but then became a mom and did the responsible thing for a lot of years. Now I'm "shifting gears" from an older Tahoe and want to something FUN to drive again. After watching this, I feel the skill of driving a stick will come right back, and I won't make a fool of myself at the dealership.
Seriously sat here watching these videos multiple times, this looks so simple. I am sure reversing would be my nightmare but thank you so much for these tutorials!! 💕
I learned how to drive a stick in 1 day maybe about 2 hours it took me, the best advice the guy who taught me was "listen to the motor" it was a 1999 dodge Dakota n it was all I needed to do. I stalled a couple times at first of course but after each stall I figured out what I did wrong and how the motor sounded with my mistakes. Listen to the motor n u don't even need RPMs or MPH u know exactly how fast or slow your going
this comment helped thank u
Very true
Yeah definitely
Agree that's really good advice. When learning / practicing, turn off the radio and have other people in the car be somewhat quiet. Then listen as the car revs so you can tell when to change gears. Just takes practice.
I learned how to drive manual 2 years ago by watching this video. 2 years later today I have my own car subaru impreza sti manual transmission. Thank you for this educational video.
“So generally first gear is only used for very low speeds such as, pulling out of your MOMS GARAGE or parking lots.” Lmao
granny shifting and not double clutching like you should.
weezyskater you never had me, you never had your car
"Ted, kiss my shoes"
weezyskater Dude I almost had you
Every time I think of stick driving those lines for some reason always come to me Looooooool
Are u saying he should granny shift or should double clutch
I like how he specifies "your mom's garage"
I popped the clutch so many times when I first learned but eventually I got it right. This was in 1986 and I learned in a Honda Civic. A lot of cars back then we’re stick shift, now it’s rare. Practice makes perfect but it is a fun drive and worth knowing.
Definitely the most helpful video we watched! You helped me break this down for my son, especially giving the RPM’s for the sweet spot when releasing the clutch.
But that floor mat. Bro that’s an accident waitin to happen!
This honestly helped me out so much! Thank you.
I could probably use a downshifting video lol
Most helpful video I've seen on driving a manual. Thanks!!
Thank you! Because of this video, I had an impressive first drive with my husband!
This is a great refresher since it’s been years since I learned how to drive a stick when I could barely see over the steering wheel, looking to trade in my civic for a truck and didn’t quite remember everything
Just learned how to drive stick at my job thanks to your very helpful video thank you!
Dominic Masciola glad we could help you sir!
I'm glad I learned when I was 16. It's fun n still love to drive them.
Me who turned 13 on feb and trying to learn without having any manual car to practice in😔. Just imagination ig
This video is how I learned to drive stick. Now im teaching a kid how to drive stick. Thank you so much!
5 years old video is now all I need to drive my first manual transmission, good job man.
This is exactly how I was doing it and it was fine until I got nervous and started stalling lol. I think the important thing is to hold the clutch at that engagement point and not just let out the clutch with one motion.
Wtf I’m high asf and actually get this😂
😂😂😂😂
Right? Like, how the hell is this not being taught in drivers ed as much anymore (or at least I wasn't taught or required to learn). And I understand its because automatic is the new norm. But, it still seems like a relevant, useful, and normal everyday skill.
Thank you sm for describing the catch point, I’ve been practically for a few days Im good at shifting up and down gears I am just absolutely terrible at starting and going
stick shifts will always be a preference for me... i feel more connected to the car and i love that! also that sweet shift from 3rd to 4th ughhhhh!
thanks dude! you made it so easy! I got the hang of it
Piece of cake he says? If only it were as simple as that.
Dane Tyghe it is, if you get used to it :P
Ikr
It is super easy, Dane. Just practice
@@leonardobraynen1524 Emm, You know that he is a driver instructor right? And he was joking
I never drove a stick before (I'm currently selling my car that is an automatic and looking around to see what's out there, might get a manual or I might not, depends on which car I think is better to invest in when the time comes) but to me it seems like all you really need is patience and practice and it'll be as easy as driving an automatic, this video helps out a lot as well
I just bought an Honda Accord to teach myself to drive a stick. This video legit is awesome 👏🏻 you broke it down perfect 😊
But wait... How are you supposed to get the car to an empty parking lot if you can't drive it there in the first place
I guess he assumes you have a friend to help you out.
This video reminds me of physics class, entering through one ear and going out through the other 😂 big up from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪
I like the fact that school learnt me what sinus is, but I still have to learn basic things that I will need for a life from a 7 years old video by myself. Thanks man.
Straight to the point no bull 10/10 video dude
This help a lot I just bought my first car yesterday and I got a stick shift and I don't know how to drive it now I do this Video help a lot thanks
same I wanna get a stick shift car but dont knows how tf to drive it
Extra tip : Remember to not let your foot hang in the air place the heel of your foot on the ground of the car for stability and it should be a peace of cake
+Ed Sama I can't stress this enough. I used to not have my heel on the ground and had the worst lead foot because I didn't have much foot control. Makes driving a lot more difficult.
so placing the hell of your foot on the ground was more difficult ?
Ed Sama Placing my heel on the ground was easier, and helped me control the clutch much better.
Sorry, I worded that weird now that I realize. I'll fix it.
I can’t do this, I’m too short and wear a size 4 shoe. My leg is fully extended when I put the clutch in
I learned to drive stick in a friend's '94 BMW M3 which had a hard clutch to shift. He was impressed once I figured out how to get it out of first gear on the second day and said if you can do it in this you can drive anything. He was right. I haven't done too much downshifting and taking off from a steep hill, but can do everything else in a manual knowing when to shift when the RPMs around 3000. It's fun to drive once you get the hang of it. I want to get my dream car which is the Camaro 6-speed manual, so I'mma finish polishing my stick shift skills before buying it.
That slowly release the clutch and have the car move forward on its own helped a bunch💪🏼
A important piece of info don’t shift to other gears as fast as this guy. When you’re in gear 2 shifting to 3 you don’t need to go fast you only do it if you’re racing or it could screw up your gears
My dad taught me how to drive a manual transmission and to this day I drive a manual transmission. It's super duper easy and it almost makes every car you're in feel like a race car lol
This video made it look easier than I thought driving stick was before!
I sold my manual for paddle shifters, this is fun but new tech is a blast
This video helped me and I picked up driving manual faster than I thought! Thank you so much! And for people saying he’s talking too fast for beginners just rewind it to and replay the parts that are unclear to you; that’s what I did. Odd to complain about someone offering free information. I had no knowledge of how to drive manual. If your expectations are higher for free information, I suggest you pay for it and hire an instructor.
Idk why I’m watching this at 3 am when I got school in a few hours
out of all the tutorials ive seen this is by far the best
Best tutorial is getting a car and doing it not watching millions of videos once I got my first manual car then all of this made sense I got mines like two weeks ago I already learned pretty well the most important thing like he said is coming out smoothly cause it’s easy to launch the car when coming off from a sudden stop in first gear. Nice video by the way
Play the video In .75x speed, you can thank me later.
When he went backwards and started screaming I laughed so hard. That'll be me.
Driving this type of car is not too difficult. It just takes practice and after a while you can accomplish this skill. Kind of like learning how to ride a bicycle.
Very good video thank you for posting.
Im 12 years old i tried out my dads S-presso for the first and then a miracle happened its i never stalled for the first time im so thankful for this tutorial
what would you do in heavy traffic thats i fear stall in traffic help somebody i just a chevy cobalt ss
Great vid
This helped so much! After watching this I am much more fluid with the motions!
I learned how to drive manually when I was about 18yrs Old because my boyfriend at the time car was a stick shift and I didn't have a car at the time, and if I wanted to roll I had to learn. I love driving them I still drive them to this day.🚛
Wait... so which is the reverse??? #1???
Brian Velez the gear that has the R letter on it is only the reverse.
@@Oogbooga117 nonono the R stands for race
@@SuperVarunan I’m fucking dead🤣
I give up im never gonna learn
Reverse is far left and up
I learned driving manual at 16. Before that my mom had already thought me an automatic transmission and I though it was a piece of cake but then my dad was like, “that’s too easy, let me teach you something a bit more challenging”. At my first lesson I stalled the car like 6 times until my father told me “it’s enough for today”. The second time to my surprise, I didn’t stall the car not once for around 40 minutes of driving and parking. Moral of story, don’t give up just because you think it’s hard at first.
Probably one of the best and most simple video.
Thanks guy this helped a lot my dads (poorly) trying to teach me stick and I wanna make him feel like he's doing an awesome job thanks this helped a lot especially with understanding what catching the clutch was thanks man
This helped me teach my son how to get into first without stalling, thanks so much.
This is why I drive an automatic.
Finally someone with brains ... thank I soooooo much
Brought back my cdl skills. Thanks 💯
Is that your BMW? It's so beautiful.
Idk about you guys but this to me is like having a phone with a cord on it lol.
Buying my first stick car tomorrow with 0 experience on it, thanks for the tutorial it really helped me with questions
This was in my recommended, I also just wanted to stop by and brag that I know how to drive a manual car. Took me lots of screaming and frustration and panicking when I would stall at a stop sign with cars honking at me, this was with no driving experience/classes whatsoever. If you’ve read this far and you’re learning or planing to learn how to drive stick; YOU GOT THIS. Once you learn its fun and you feel so great. It is not impossible and don’t overthink it. And remember that everyone who knows how to drive stick had been in the same position before
