You know… I thought I sounded crazy when I said I wouldn’t drive an automatic again. It’s instinct now to always press the “clutch” in an automatic, it just kicks in
I’m very impressed on the little you mentioned of canyon runs. Too many people don’t know about that lifestyle. And it’s sad, all they do is 40-60 rolls lol

Hey Rush..another great and helpful video for us manual transmission rookies. How about a small video on downshifting only..I know I could use a few pointers as to when
really like your vids (just recently got a manual 2016 GT PP1 with corsa extreme) btw the owners manual actually states the recommended shift points for best fuel economy 1 to 2 - 13 mph 2 to 3 - 24 mph 3 to 4 - 31 mph 4 to 5 - 39 mph 5 to 6 - 43 mph

You are right though I’ve been driving stick shift for over 20 years I can tell by the sound went to shift the gears also, you can also downshift as well when I spent time in the Philippines it amazes me how they drive manual transmission. They start the car up in second gear and start driving it in second, which really intrigue me which I’m thinking about doing.
I start my day, hand on the shift, my car is automatic but can go semi, I taught to myself learning when to shift manuel would be cool and your video explain it all thx
@@rmn4348 lmao man i upshift after 1500rpm... im automatic but i got semi auto mode.. i usually dont go over 2k rpm when im alone in the car it burns too much fuel :D
I learned on a 1972 VW Beetle. 4 speed. That thing was very loud and had no tach, so you had to go off sound. I wanted to get a newer manual but couldn't drive it at all. 2011 Hyundai Sonata with a 5 speed. Stalled it out so many times I decided to get an automatic.
Thinking of getting a Z31 in a couple months, but don't know how to drive manual. The only person I know that drives a manual is my moms friend. So I'm thinking of asking her to go with me when I go see the car, so she can drive it.
My main goal is to have my manual license but I'm only driving auto right now so I'm just looking at videos on when it's best to shift before looking at getting lessons in a manual car. Great work and really informaning
@@xRenegade_999 no, you do not. There is no such thing as an "automatic/manual license." It goes by class. If you have a class D license, you can drive manual or automatic.
Where I mess up a lot is when I have loud music and once in a while I forget I am at a low gear in a freeway and can't hear my engine stress, until song changes or worst when you feel engine overwhelmed, hurts

Thank you so much bro. I've been looking everywhere for a vid like this explaining the shifting process in detail. I'm new to driving so I didn't understand anything. thank you so much, have a great day
Holy cow that Costco is packed! I never see gas stations packed where I'm from that would drive me nuts. I got a Ford Focus 2012 for really cheap and I'm trying to educate myself about manual bc it has a manual transmission driven by a computer so it's "automatic". Most people have their clutches wear quickly and many say to "drive it like a manual". I wish it was a manual manual in a way bc you kinda have to make the computer drive like a manual. It's pretty cool though and I think I get the concepts now.
I install a louder exhaust, if needed, and drive by sound. I only check my RPM or MPH at times, if need be. Also, most MT car manuals have a graph in it showing the rec. shift points, etc. But, any aftermarket stuff in drive train, clutch, etc. requires an adjustment to drive habits.
I'm new to driving a manual transmission and I'm in my first week of learning. I can drive around regular streets with stop-and-go traffic, but I haven't tried the highway yet. My main issue is that I think I'm shifting too early. I'm concerned about the cars behind me, since I've always driven an automatic before. When I'm in 3rd or 4th gear while cruising, my RPM is consistently at a steady 3, and I feel like it should be lower than that. How can I prevent myself from shifting too early?
How do you come to a stop? Do you have to go from which ever gear you were in to first I then to neutral ? Or can you go from let’s say 4th gear to neutral ? Is that a dumb question ? I’m really wanting to learn
You can be on 5th gear going 60 and if you’re about to stop at a red light, just put on neutral and break. If you’re going about 20 mph and the light switched to green, just put it on 3rd gear and go from there
This is pretty useful content. But to add note, u mentioned: “ Add more weight to the car when shifting down gears? -Its’s just downshifting or otherwise known as engine brake. Your car’s weight remains thesame, unless ofcourse if u add or reduce items in your car.
I do the same thing but they recommend we stay in gear incase shit hits the fan. What I started doing is just cruising in gear while braking until I'm closing in real close then shift to neutral but I'd definitely would like to hear his answer.
1st mt 2019 wrx here and boy is it a pain in a crowded area makes me wish I had an automatic at times but when that road opens up shit you never want to touch an automatic ever again.
I’d rather drive in my city than the suburb because the city green lights are synchronized. I constantly have to stop in the suburb. Also, driving in the city means you’re likely to hit a major highway soon. Watch the green lights for a while and you’ll see.
i’m learning and i’m about a week in now, i’m just not sure if there’s anyway to lower rpm’s when i’m already in 5th in the highway. It sits around 3.5-4k when going 75-80
More than likely a smaller engine. My 2.0L miata is chilling around 3K when I’m going 65 on the highway. My previous car that was a 3.3L twin turbo would be barely at around 2-2.5K at 65 MPH. It makes sense that a big V8 would only be hitting around 2K RPM in 5th gear.
Congrats. It is definitely an accomplishment. I wanna know from anybody about how fast are you going before you’re able to engage in six gear? By that I mean for me so far, the RPM shoots up to 4000 -4500 and does not sound happy. I usually shift back into fifth. Any advice??
I = 0 -10mph ; II = 5 until 25 mph ; III = 15 until 45 mph ; IV 25 until 70 mph and last one V gear 35 until 98 mph ( My car max speed is 99 mph /159 km/h ) . R = 0 - 20 mph.
I shift whenever I hear the bald eagles screeching.

With sport mode on a cvt I can’t put it in neutral for braking at lights. So I just downshift through all the gears?
So I can go neutral at any gear to stop ?
Yes
What do you mean by shifting down puts more weight to the front of the car
This was a very helpful vid, I just got me a Mustang GT manual I’ve drove manual but not as a daily lol
I always assumed that higher gears burned more fuel. Is that not the case?
U drive a manual to shift whenever you want lol as long as your not banging the limiter
