no it is not. You can change the gear without using the clutch. "clutch-less shifting" is a real thing. Before changing gear, you get the car in a state where the engine is neither applying force to the transmission, nor the wheels are back feeding torque back to engine. In that state, you can simply take out the gear. Then will in neutral, you RPM match the engine to the transmission and then you can engage the gear without using the clutch. Yeah that needs training. Yeah it is not intuitive. Yeah it is unnecessary. But: Some people drive that way and if nothing else: The clutch wear is almost nothing (you still need the clutch for full stop and start from full stop), so there is a benefit.

You're going too fast!'. You will feel the stick protesting your requested action: if you get to a speed where it gets possible to do so, the stick will almost automatically slide into the right position but if you are just below the limit where it will just restrict you shifting down, you will hear the engine revving up quite a lot and cause quite some engine-braking, even in such manner that you will know you were a bit early. You can always try this by speeding up to 3rd or 4th gear and than try to go back to 2nd in one go: getting it from 4 to neutral will be no problem, but you will definitely feel the stick protest if you try to get it to 2nd gear while you are still at speed. Ofcourse, do not force the stick into position, it's doing all this for a reason, telling you to slow down more.
When you know how to WHiiiiiiiP a vehicle......I repeat WHIP....you can drive a manual CORRECTLY if you're barefoot or have on heels!! It's all about seat and steering wheel placement..... I know cuz I've done them BOTH and not just once.
"never brake without engaging the clutch" nope. Engine braking is important. It helps you slow down faster and save your brake rotors. Brake, then push in the clutch as the engine RPM drops below 2000 or so. That way you get good engine braking without causing any harm to the drivetrain.
Watching this was like watching a cheap horror movie where no one on screen does or says anything right and we're all just laughing the whole time at how bad it is 😆
If you touch the shifter too long: DEATH If you rest your foot on the clutch: DEATH If you release the clutch too slowly: DEATH If you don't park in gear: DEATH If you drive a manual: DEATH
Well the older transmission gears weren’t as sleek and in unison as the newer transmissions. In fact I believe their design never intended for the gears to match the same speed before shifting, causing a grindy, terrible noise every time you shift gears but im recalling this from my bad long-term memory.
My major disagreement here is using your parking brake at a red light or on a hill. Why use your hand brake? If I'm going to be at a light for more than a few seconds, I always shift to neutral and hold with the brake.
When braking, you should use your clutch pedal just before stalling the car. While in gear the car holds itself a bit so it is safer to brake while on a gear. If you press the clutch before braking, nothing will hold the car so it will be much more dangerous and unstable to brake.
Just an american term i guess, I have never heard anyone call it an emergency brake apart from americans. Where I live everyone calls it the hand brake since its a brake you operate with your hand.
Also, don't change from 5th gear to reverse because even though it's faster than waiting till you're in first gear, you could cause a slight damage to the gearbox
@@cloudshifterit sounds horrible and leaves you feeling stupid and nervous (its my 1st week owning a car) i was trying to downshift from 5th to 4th and accidentally caused a loud grinding noise that shivered up my whole arm… i was doing like 80km p/h ended up ‘coasting’ and shifting to 3rd (avoiding that lower right corner) why tf isnt the gearbox more visually intuitive LOL thar weird leather cover over the gearstick seems to make it harder to feel what gear you’re selecting (I drive an old berlingo btw)
@@cloudshifter my car wont let me shift to reverse if the wheels are spining forward, even if just a bit. id say in high speeds you would just hear a nasty grind but wont let you shift
For the gear grinding one, there's a synchronization process that happens to prevent it, but you have to hit the clutch before you shift, otherwise, you'll grind the gears.
Honestly in manual cars, the gear switch is the easiest thing to learn. You simply let go of the gas, slam clutch, change gear and then slowly let go of clutch. The bigger shift the faster you can let go of clutch.
Putting the car into a lower gear when slowing down helps a lot with braking, so I disagree with the "hold the clutch while braking" it just causes more wear on your brakes.
Either a good thing or a bad thing depending on where you were taught to drive. In France, for example, they teach you to use the gearbox to help slow down; in the UK the advice is "Brakes are for slowing; Gears are for going." Today's brakes are so efficient I don't really see any need to use the box as well. And which would you rather wear out: a £100 set of brake pads, or a £2,000 gearbox?
@@MSM4U2POM And those people are teaching others? If you don't know how to shift, then you will destroy your transmission regardless. If you are good at shifting then actually cause bigger wear on the clutch. Not to mention you loose the ability quickly accelerate.
@@Megaranator I think he explained it badly. The way they teach it in the UK is to use engine braking and work down through the gears but do it without slipping the clutch, using the brake to match speed to revs. That saves clutch wear, keeps your gear appropriate to your speed and uses cheap brake pads to absorb excess energy. Exactly the same way that good drivers everywhere do it.
I laughed so hard when he said if you coast in neutral your gearbox doesnt get lubricated with oil because there is low oil pressure in the engine... i was like hold up thts not right engine oil pressure had nothing to do with gearbox oil
Yes my thoughts exactly... the real dangerous issue is the increasing speed and zero engine breaking causes the physical breaks to overheat quickly and fade and he didn't even mentioned it
I think in some autos that might be true but coasting is not an issue in a stick shift. In fact coasting can be handy when you don’t wish to slow down via engine braking but don’t need to be on the gas either.
DOABLE! It requires 1.stong enough engine to pull the car up without stopping on the step 2. 2.stong enough neck(so it wont get snapped when you suddenly release the clutch) 3.weak enough hand brake so it will fail if you accelerate without releasing it :D
Better tip about parking is figure out whether your e brake works or not. I know lots of people who’s e brake works on flat ground but will not hold the car in a hill. This is a problem that can be fixed, but knowing how well you e brake works will put you in a position where you can choose whether to leave the car in gear or now
@@MelancholicSaiko he’s saying that coasting in N means the car is idling. I guess if you do that too long, you can harm the engine. It’s a dumb statement because you’d need to be coasting down a mountain the size of Everest to coast for that long.
Im glad you mentioned the clutch throw out bearing wear when sitting for a long time. Also resting hand on the lever. I was constantly telling my daughter stop doing that!
I have driven manual transmissions for many years. First was a Chevy Pickup with 3 on the tree. I can even drive an unsynchronised transmission without drama (Ford A). Years ago, I was scolded by a mechanic for keeping my foot on the clutch and my hand on the shifter. Really good advice. My clutches lasted a long time, except for the XJ.
It's for the US market, so they must make it look like it is hard to do. Not sure why they complain about the gas price, it's 1 third of what we pay, but hey.
Many of these 'tips' are not applicable in every situation. 1:20 - clutches aren't that expensive, obviously you don't want to needlessly damage a clutch, but after 10-15 years most clutches start to wear to the point they need replacing shortly anyway. 2:45 - no need to leave car in gear UNLESS you're on a hill. Also, most newer cars have a safety feature that prevents the car from rolling when the engine is off, mine from 2011 is one of them. 4:00 - depends on whether the lights are about to change. There is no point in putting your car in neutral at a red light if you're going to be changing again 5 seconds later. 6:00 - No point in handbraking on a hill if you're literally moving a few seconds later. 7:30 - you would always use the brake first before the clutch, the only difference in the winter is that you should drive in a higher gear to avoid skids and also avoid harsh braking where possible
8:00 "never slip your clutch! it will destroy it!" ... Uhm... the point of the clutch is that it slips to enable smooth gear transitions. I agree with "don't drive with your foot resting on the clutch", since that WILL fuck it up, but using the clutch as it was intended and designed to handle (to start from a standstill & to absorb the difference in RPM between the engine and transmission when changing gears) isn't going to kill it. A clutch is a consumable. Consuming it in less than 100k km usually means you abused it (or used it predominantly in heavy city traffic or while towing large loads on hills often). If it lasts you 150-200k+ km, then it served its purpose.
I’m pretty sure he didn’t literally mean don’t use the clutch as intended. I’m assuming he’s simply saying don’t slip it more than you need to. I can hear a lot of manual drivers slipping their clutches while rowing thru the gears. That is NOT how the clutch was intended to be hsd
I drive my car whit It's original clutch in it, It has 300k km and I think it will least another 50k km and I do used it some times to prevent roll back from a hill
about the keeping your foot on the bite point when stopped on a hill. keep your clutch down or have it in neutral while your waiting. when your ready shift into first, find the biting point and release the brake and give some gas. don’t sit there holding at the biting point for more then around 6 seconds. that’s what messes up the transmission.
Happy to report that I never make these mistakes on a consistent basis. Every once in a while the clutch slips or I grind a gear, but that's maybe a few times per year at the most.
i dont understand, I think I do clutch slips but I wasnt taught to not do so. Granted 90% of the drive done is below 40kmph. Should I get my clutch checked?
I've done 4:41 a lot in my grandpa's old truck. It has a very shallow pedal, meaning there isn't a lot between full throttle and no throttle. It also has a heavy clutch with a hard bit point that can be hard to release right. That thing has shaken so much I might as well be a smoothie.
Thanks for the tips. I caught myself doing the coasting a little when in neutral. I guess we all learn something 😅 I might have to stop doing that. Even tho I do not do it when going down hill, but I get the idea.
And probably most other continents. As far as I know North America is the only region where the majority drives an automatic transmission car, in Europe and most African and Asian countries people drive manual, and probably the same thing in South America.
I tried to teach my son-in-law how to drive manual. I gave up trying after 45 minutes in a church parking lot. It was an old chevy S-10 that was a junker so I didn't really care about him ruining it. He must've put about 50K on that clutch that day and never got it out of the parking lot. Sad. He's from Trinidad, so it's not just an American problem.
@@waldolemmer Replaced clutch costs in most cars (family cars Europe) like 250 to 400 dollars depending on your engine displacement, complexity of the operation etc but this is the average lol. You also change it once what every 200 thousand kms or 150? Its expensive when you have a V6 sports car yeah the price can like triple from that (even that isnt super expensive considering how long will it last you).
9:42 A manual transmission is just a simple gearbox. There is no oil pump in a manual transmission, so coasting downhill in neutral doesn’t starve a gearbox of oil.
9:42 "Coasting in neutral cuts the engines oil supply"...... No bud, it doesn't, lol. That's not how oil pumps work. Can't even use that argument for the transmission either.
@@She1lby it does lower it but you are directly lowering your transmission use so it doesn't matter, there's nothing to be lubricated so why should the car lubricate
@@She1lby dude, the transmission's gears spin as the car goes no matter what, so if the car goes, the gears get oil, period, doesnt matter if the clutch is down or up
@@hephaistosthesmith2069 "lowering transmission"? What do u mean, on neutral engine just gets it's normal lubrication because it still rotates and transmission rotates with the speed of the car as well.
Never brake without engaging the clutch...? Why make completely incorrect statements if you're attempting to educate...? Edit: I'm going to assume he means if coming to a complete stop.
I wondered about that one too. Downshift, of course, but keep the engine engaged. With modern synchronized transmissions you can go all the way down and clutch finally just before stopping. In my first cars sixty some-odd years ago, going into first (of three back then) required double clutching, and the first I had that synced first gear was a 1967 Chevelle my wife and I bought new when I graduated from college. I've never had to replace a clutch on a car, though some have gone 150K miles, sometimes without needing brake jobs.
Btw don't disengage the clutch everytime you brake, but only when you're about to stop. Braking while clutch is disengaged denies engine brake, resulting in longer braking distances and more brake pad wear. Also, if you happen to oversteer, or lose traction to the rear tires while braking, it's pretty hard to correct if you can't accelerate.
Also keeping the clutch engaged for long periods of times puts strain on it`s components, mainly the friction disc, and it wears a lot faster. Whilst the car is moving, you should only press the clutch when shifting gears and press the clutch whilst braking only when you`re about to stop to a standstill, even if you could put it in neutral and brake to a stop.
@@mariusrutza agreed, but it's not the friction disk that wears, in fact if the clutch pedal is fully depressed then there won't be ANY wear at all on the friction disk just the bearing.
Are you insane the clutch should be always pressed with the brake or you want to stall every time you loose enough speed, thats unless your speed is way over your top gear then you don't need to press clutch.
@@vinportobg tell me u nvr driven a manual without telling me!..haha bro the engine aint gonna die unless it drops below idle...an aslong as ur revmatching very lil wear is happening to the clutch..its normal wear

Here's one to go with the "never floor your petal at low rev." Never redline your car. This goes for automatics as well, but it's best to keep your below 4 rpm
@@theunknownguy265 nah mate, VW diesel, cylinder head cracked and had to get a used engine, didn't bother replacing the clutch. Fitted the original onto the new engine still hasn't let me down
The best thing you can do for your clutch is rev the engine to redline and let your foot slip off the clutch pedal while in 1st gear. This will help to resurface the flywheel allowing for smoother shifting in the future. 👍🏼
So, I have a Ford Ecosport diesel. I usually keep the revs between 2k-3.5k rpms (very rarely 3.5k) I usually slowly down shift from 2k+ rpm and the revs climb upto 3k rpm or so. My question: Is this a good habit? If no, what's the alternative for using maximum engine braking for better fuel economy without applying breaks
"Never brake without engaging the clutch" Complete mis-interpretation, it's completely unnecessary to engage the clutch when breaking unless you plan to stop, change gear or the RPM falls to a speed where stalling will occur. If your gonna educate, get the facts right. Furthermore, for anyone in the UK seeing this, you are taught to keep your car in gear at a red light, UNLESS your expected to be stopped for 5 or more seconds, again, get the facts right - different countries have different rules, and honestly, as long as the clutch is de-pressed, it does it no harm keeping it in gear at a red light.
@@dieter2889 agreed, but the release bearing can take the stress more than they let on. I used to always stop with the transmission in gear. Had to replace the clutch before the bearing went bad. Then the vehicle got totaled by a rear ending🤷 But it's better on everything overall to be in it's "natural" position, as it is with most things.
@@dieter2889 yes this, in pole position, you need to be the fastest as to ensure the most cars can pass during a green light. It's the polite thing to do
Over here in Ireland, the vast majority of people drive manual. An automatic car is almost as rare over here as a manual is in the US. I agree though. A manual car is a drivers car.
I learned on a manual trans. It's a trans swapped S-10 from the year 2000. And my dad apperntly has been teaching me well as I know all of these things already.
In low gears with low rpms, you can stay on the bite point for a few seconds. It's not going to wear your clutch prematurely. Excessive heat is the enemy of the clutch.
For hills, what I usually do is I release the clutch to the biting point right before I’m about to take off, then I release the brake n get on the gas as soon as possible before the car starts to roll back. I’m new to manual so idk if this is the right technique or if I’m actually hurting the clutch in the process.
1:47 I’m guessing you’re referring to, pushing the clutch just before the car stops. 2:40 It is okay to leave the car in neutral if you’re parking on a flat road while still having the handbrake up. 4:27 Does the brake pedal mean nothing to you? 9:05 Coasting in Neutral is sometimes bad, but it doesn’t damage anything. Maybe for automatics, but not manuals.
But a lot of modern commercial trucks with automatic transmissions actually go into neutral automatically if you come off both of the peddles to save fuel, if it was harmful to the drivetrain why would they be engineered to do that?
Coasting in neutral won'T overheat ur engine lol, ur engine is "idling" then, yet air flow through radiator is what it would be if u were "working" the engine so...
@@mikalarrington8112 Yeah but, ur engine is only making more heat when u accelerate, initiating combustion, that's where the heat comes from. I get the oil is pumping at an engine spin rate, relative to crank and cam and all the in betweens, including water pump. But at an engine idle, ur not causing more heat to be made and that alone beginns to increase cooldown. I get ur pumps are slower, but the airflow is also faster, cooling it at a higher rate than it normally does in a stand still position. I've literally watched my temp gauge go down when I coast so... I know my instruments is crispy cuz I keep them, proper, at least I try to within my limits...^^
@tiny ate I get what u saying ur just forgetting that the throttle is closed and the air getting through is a small amount and the oil going through is not enough to cool it efficiently the damage is minute and over time components will break down faster than what it is supposed to
Here in Brazil we sometimes are even encouraged to get older cars, to learn car control in a more accessible price. Normally most cars here are 5-speed manual transmission, mostly front wheel drive.
In Europe (or at least in The Netherlands) you’re taught to put your car in neutral and engage the handbrake instead of putting it in first gear when parked. The reason for this is because a lot of people forget to push down the clutch before starting the engine. Which causes your car to shoot forward a bit and stall the engine right away.
It's fine to put it in gear on a hill or something, but on a flat it's better not only because you stall but mostly because most people forget the handbrake and park the car only on a gear.

"never brake without engaging the clutch" nope. Engine braking is important. It helps you slow down faster and save your brake rotors. Brake, then push in the clutch as the engine RPM drops below 2000 or so. That way you get good engine braking without causing any harm to the drivetrain.
Watching this was like watching a cheap horror movie where no one on screen does or says anything right and we're all just laughing the whole time at how bad it is 😆

"Never grind gears" NO WAY, I THOUGH IT WAS GOOD TO GRIND THE GEARS, THANK YOU MODER MUSCLE FOR YOUR ADVICES
Lmao
Well the older transmission gears weren’t as sleek and in unison as the newer transmissions. In fact I believe their design never intended for the gears to match the same speed before shifting, causing a grindy, terrible noise every time you shift gears but im recalling this from my bad long-term memory.
Lmfao
AHAHAHAHAHAH
@@holdmybeefstew7131 Sounds like you had a problem in with the Synchromesh.
My major disagreement here is using your parking brake at a red light or on a hill. Why use your hand brake? If I'm going to be at a light for more than a few seconds, I always shift to neutral and hold with the brake.
When braking, you should use your clutch pedal just before stalling the car. While in gear the car holds itself a bit so it is safer to brake while on a gear. If you press the clutch before braking, nothing will hold the car so it will be much more dangerous and unstable to brake.
Changing gears causes wear and tear on the gearbox. Simply leave that car in first everywhere you go to prevent this from happening.
Using clutch to get it in first causes unnecessary strain on the gearbox. Leave in neutral and just push
Exactly
Getting a new car causes unnecessary wear and tear on its transmission, simply don't buy a car
Yes and the best way to break is to put it in reverse while it goes forward
dang lmao, also the accelerator pedal is optional , you can use only clutch to get your car forward
Emergency brake? It's a parking brake. It's designed to be used when parking.
stan hope Back in the day, and I do mean back. They were an E brake. As brakes failed on a regular. But now it’s a parking brake.
ha if you used the hand brake for an emergancy stop you would just slide into the obsticle.
Just an american term i guess, I have never heard anyone call it an emergency brake apart from americans. Where I live everyone calls it the hand brake since its a brake you operate with your hand.
@@dieter2889 same!
No it's the *DRIFT LEVER*
Also, don't change from 5th gear to reverse because even though it's faster than waiting till you're in first gear, you could cause a slight damage to the gearbox
@@hunterpinson807 if you are moving yeah lol
One shudders to imagine what it would feel and sound like to do that when moving at those speeds.
@@cloudshifterit sounds horrible and leaves you feeling stupid and nervous (its my 1st week owning a car) i was trying to downshift from 5th to 4th and accidentally caused a loud grinding noise that shivered up my whole arm… i was doing like 80km p/h ended up ‘coasting’ and shifting to 3rd (avoiding that lower right corner) why tf isnt the gearbox more visually intuitive LOL thar weird leather cover over the gearstick seems to make it harder to feel what gear you’re selecting (I drive an old berlingo btw)
@@cloudshifter my car wont let me shift to reverse if the wheels are spining forward, even if just a bit. id say in high speeds you would just hear a nasty grind but wont let you shift
The ultimate money shift
For the gear grinding one, there's a synchronization process that happens to prevent it, but you have to hit the clutch before you shift, otherwise, you'll grind the gears.
Honestly in manual cars, the gear switch is the easiest thing to learn. You simply let go of the gas, slam clutch, change gear and then slowly let go of clutch. The bigger shift the faster you can let go of clutch.
Double clutch, saves wear, I O synchros, in box🎉

"never brake without engaging the clucth"?

You know what really grinds my gears? Shifting without using the clutch.

Fun.
Americans: “i don’t get it”
@@itsurboidonnie Ahhh exactly, no one in the Americas drives standard.
What you definitely should do is down shift from 5th to 2nd while going 70mph your gearbox will explode and will be good story to tell grandchildren
Putting the car into a lower gear when slowing down helps a lot with braking, so I disagree with the "hold the clutch while braking" it just causes more wear on your brakes.
Either a good thing or a bad thing depending on where you were taught to drive. In France, for example, they teach you to use the gearbox to help slow down; in the UK the advice is "Brakes are for slowing; Gears are for going." Today's brakes are so efficient I don't really see any need to use the box as well. And which would you rather wear out: a £100 set of brake pads, or a £2,000 gearbox?
@@MSM4U2POM And those people are teaching others? If you don't know how to shift, then you will destroy your transmission regardless. If you are good at shifting then actually cause bigger wear on the clutch. Not to mention you loose the ability quickly accelerate.
@@Megaranator I think he explained it badly. The way they teach it in the UK is to use engine braking and work down through the gears but do it without slipping the clutch, using the brake to match speed to revs. That saves clutch wear, keeps your gear appropriate to your speed and uses cheap brake pads to absorb excess energy. Exactly the same way that good drivers everywhere do it.
I laughed so hard when he said if you coast in neutral your gearbox doesnt get lubricated with oil because there is low oil pressure in the engine... i was like hold up thts not right engine oil pressure had nothing to do with gearbox oil
A better argument for not doing it would have been that it wastes fuel compared to not giving it any gas and leaving it in gear.
Maybe he confused it with 2 stroke
right. the last part is kind a funny.
Yes my thoughts exactly... the real dangerous issue is the increasing speed and zero engine breaking causes the physical breaks to overheat quickly and fade and he didn't even mentioned it
I think in some autos that might be true but coasting is not an issue in a stick shift. In fact coasting can be handy when you don’t wish to slow down via engine braking but don’t need to be on the gas either.
"Clutch slipping will destroy the cluth" Well mr einstein then tell me how to start on a hill.
DOABLE! It requires
1.stong enough engine to pull the car up without stopping on the step 2.
2.stong enough neck(so it wont get snapped when you suddenly release the clutch)
3.weak enough hand brake so it will fail if you accelerate without releasing it :D
@@Ev0ltion hehehe
"You don't"
Just do like me and dump the clutch and hope the car stops doing a burnout and you go up the hill
@@_Boobz that's amazing 😂😂😂 made me lol
Better tip about parking is figure out whether your e brake works or not. I know lots of people who’s e brake works on flat ground but will not hold the car in a hill. This is a problem that can be fixed, but knowing how well you e brake works will put you in a position where you can choose whether to leave the car in gear or now
Resting your hand on the shifter doesn't hurt the gears or syncros, it does however wear out the shift forks.

I have driven manual transmissions for many years. First was a Chevy Pickup with 3 on the tree. I can even drive an unsynchronised transmission without drama (Ford A). Years ago, I was scolded by a mechanic for keeping my foot on the clutch and my hand on the shifter. Really good advice. My clutches lasted a long time, except for the XJ.

@@abba9462 hahahaha patric stop your scaring him
Like dude wait have you very driven a car
@@libhongo894 yep
Many of these 'tips' are not applicable in every situation.
1:20 - clutches aren't that expensive, obviously you don't want to needlessly damage a clutch, but after 10-15 years most clutches start to wear to the point they need replacing shortly anyway.
2:45 - no need to leave car in gear UNLESS you're on a hill. Also, most newer cars have a safety feature that prevents the car from rolling when the engine is off, mine from 2011 is one of them.
4:00 - depends on whether the lights are about to change. There is no point in putting your car in neutral at a red light if you're going to be changing again 5 seconds later.
6:00 - No point in handbraking on a hill if you're literally moving a few seconds later.
7:30 - you would always use the brake first before the clutch, the only difference in the winter is that you should drive in a higher gear to avoid skids and also avoid harsh braking where possible
“Never park in neutral” okay mr. Smarty-pants, explain to me how I’ll use my remote start when my truck is in gear 🤣😂
8:00 "never slip your clutch! it will destroy it!" ... Uhm... the point of the clutch is that it slips to enable smooth gear transitions. I agree with "don't drive with your foot resting on the clutch", since that WILL fuck it up, but using the clutch as it was intended and designed to handle (to start from a standstill & to absorb the difference in RPM between the engine and transmission when changing gears) isn't going to kill it. A clutch is a consumable. Consuming it in less than 100k km usually means you abused it (or used it predominantly in heavy city traffic or while towing large loads on hills often). If it lasts you 150-200k+ km, then it served its purpose.
Yeah, good luck using the clutch without any slipping. Any difference in speed means slipping to some extent.
I’m pretty sure he didn’t literally mean don’t use the clutch as intended. I’m assuming he’s simply saying don’t slip it more than you need to. I can hear a lot of manual drivers slipping their clutches while rowing thru the gears. That is NOT how the clutch was intended to be hsd
Well yes but actually no
I drive my car whit It's original clutch in it, It has 300k km and I think it will least another 50k km and I do used it some times to prevent roll back from a hill
I also seen drivers redlining the engine and barely slipping the clutch just to start from a stand still
"Revelations per minute"? After watching this I think I just had a few, lol
i felt like an oracle after hitting the redline
I had so many rpms my turbo just shat the bed.

Don't forget the clutch PETAL either,
Amen lol
about the keeping your foot on the bite point when stopped on a hill. keep your clutch down or have it in neutral while your waiting. when your ready shift into first, find the biting point and release the brake and give some gas. don’t sit there holding at the biting point for more then around 6 seconds. that’s what messes up the transmission.
Happy to report that I never make these mistakes on a consistent basis.
Every once in a while the clutch slips or I grind a gear, but that's maybe a few times per year at the most.
i dont understand, I think I do clutch slips but I wasnt taught to not do so. Granted 90% of the drive done is below 40kmph. Should I get my clutch checked?

Edit: I'm going to assume he means if coming to a complete stop.

Your reply gives complete misinterpretation of exact what he means
I wondered about that one too. Downshift, of course, but keep the engine engaged. With modern synchronized transmissions you can go all the way down and clutch finally just before stopping. In my first cars sixty some-odd years ago, going into first (of three back then) required double clutching, and the first I had that synced first gear was a 1967 Chevelle my wife and I bought new when I graduated from college. I've never had to replace a clutch on a car, though some have gone 150K miles, sometimes without needing brake jobs.

@@afoxwithahat7846 well I don't...
Resting your hand on the shifter mainly just we’re out a little rod in the shifter, doesn’t really wear out your transmission
My instructor specifically told me not to ride the clutch during my test but still taught me to balance my clutch for an easy hillstart
So did mine although I still find the act of balancing out of a traffic light on an uphill preety hard.
Btw don't disengage the clutch everytime you brake, but only when you're about to stop. Braking while clutch is disengaged denies engine brake, resulting in longer braking distances and more brake pad wear. Also, if you happen to oversteer, or lose traction to the rear tires while braking, it's pretty hard to correct if you can't accelerate.
Also keeping the clutch engaged for long periods of times puts strain on it`s components, mainly the friction disc, and it wears a lot faster. Whilst the car is moving, you should only press the clutch when shifting gears and press the clutch whilst braking only when you`re about to stop to a standstill, even if you could put it in neutral and brake to a stop.
@@mariusrutza agreed, but it's not the friction disk that wears, in fact if the clutch pedal is fully depressed then there won't be ANY wear at all on the friction disk just the bearing.
Are you insane the clutch should be always pressed with the brake or you want to stall every time you loose enough speed, thats unless your speed is way over your top gear then you don't need to press clutch.

The best thing you can do for your clutch is rev the engine to redline and let your foot slip off the clutch pedal while in 1st gear. This will help to resurface the flywheel allowing for smoother shifting in the future. 👍🏼
dont forget it will resurface and warm your tires and give your transmission a nice little stretch
Am I dense or is this sarcasm. Maybe both.
In 5th or 6th gear
It also removes oil and debris from the tires, giving them more grip for braking.
Instructions unclear - found myself in the back seat
So, I have a Ford Ecosport diesel. I usually keep the revs between 2k-3.5k rpms (very rarely 3.5k)
I usually slowly down shift from 2k+ rpm and the revs climb upto 3k rpm or so.
My question: Is this a good habit? If no, what's the alternative for using maximum engine braking for better fuel economy without applying breaks
Thank you, I learned a lot and hopefully I should be able t keep my car healthier now :)
This just told me to not do everything I do
"Never brake without engaging the clutch" Complete mis-interpretation, it's completely unnecessary to engage the clutch when breaking unless you plan to stop, change gear or the RPM falls to a speed where stalling will occur. If your gonna educate, get the facts right. Furthermore, for anyone in the UK seeing this, you are taught to keep your car in gear at a red light, UNLESS your expected to be stopped for 5 or more seconds, again, get the facts right - different countries have different rules, and honestly, as long as the clutch is de-pressed, it does it no harm keeping it in gear at a red light.
AGREED.... from the US too
I agree with most of this but keeping the clutch in at red lights does cause excess wear on the throwout/release bearing
@@dieter2889 agreed, but the release bearing can take the stress more than they let on. I used to always stop with the transmission in gear. Had to replace the clutch before the bearing went bad. Then the vehicle got totaled by a rear ending🤷

I’m new to manual so idk if this is the right technique or if I’m actually hurting the clutch in the process.
3:40 yeah, I did a few grindings when I first learned to drive one around 1989. It was my uncle's Camaro, and he sure had a fit when he heard that!
1:47 I’m guessing you’re referring to, pushing the clutch just before the car stops.
2:40 It is okay to leave the car in neutral if you’re parking on a flat road while still having the handbrake up.
4:27 Does the brake pedal mean nothing to you?
9:05 Coasting in Neutral is sometimes bad, but it doesn’t damage anything. Maybe for automatics, but not manuals.
But a lot of modern commercial trucks with automatic transmissions actually go into neutral automatically if you come off both of the peddles to save fuel, if it was harmful to the drivetrain why would they be engineered to do that?
Exactly what I wanted to say 😂
Yeah the fucking part when he told to use handbrake in every red light broke me l would go crazy if I actually had to do that
@@emu8113 right and how many time do you do that before you forget that the hand break is engaged and you try to drive

Coasting in neutral won'T overheat ur engine lol, ur engine is "idling" then, yet air flow through radiator is what it would be if u were "working" the engine so...
thats true BUT if your car was over heating then costing in neutral wouldn't help..
It can make ur oil heat up more then it should. As the oil pump is not spinning at the speed the car is going
@@mikalarrington8112 Yeah but, ur engine is only making more heat when u accelerate, initiating combustion, that's where the heat comes from. I get the oil is pumping at an engine spin rate, relative to crank and cam and all the in betweens, including water pump. But at an engine idle, ur not causing more heat to be made and that alone beginns to increase cooldown. I get ur pumps are slower, but the airflow is also faster, cooling it at a higher rate than it normally does in a stand still position. I've literally watched my temp gauge go down when I coast so... I know my instruments is crispy cuz I keep them, proper, at least I try to within my limits...^^
@tiny ate I get what u saying ur just forgetting that the throttle is closed and the air getting through is a small amount and the oil going through is not enough to cool it efficiently the damage is minute and over time components will break down faster than what it is supposed to
@@mikalarrington8112 I've taken that all into consideration...
Thank you very much
Here in Brazil we sometimes are even encouraged to get older cars, to learn car control in a more accessible price. Normally most cars here are 5-speed manual transmission, mostly front wheel drive.
Hold ur Brake And Accelerator in ur manual car at the same time.Then It will take a screenshot of you
Edit: thanks for 1 like
Easy
it's actually the base for heel-toe downshifting lol
Hey!! It works!!🧐
It took 3⬇️in burst mode..
😂 😂 😂
Bonus: put shifter in neutral and wiggle it back and forth to crop your screenshot
🤣🤣🤣
In Europe (or at least in The Netherlands) you’re taught to put your car in neutral and engage the handbrake instead of putting it in first gear when parked. The reason for this is because a lot of people forget to push down the clutch before starting the engine. Which causes your car to shoot forward a bit and stall the engine right away.
NL is flat. :)
I leave in neutral on the level, and in gear on a hill. :)
@@ArcanisUrriah to european standards. NL is high from weed
It's fine to put it in gear on a hill or something, but on a flat it's better not only because you stall but mostly because most people forget the handbrake and park the car only on a gear.
@@Vert_GreenHeart you want your car stable, that is a standard in germany, everyone puts it in first gear, probably because of poland they just roll it unto their truck lmao
So this is why the clutch has to be pushed in modern cars to turn the engine over in gear. Thanks I hate it
Thanks you for making me want an automatic one.
I didn't know the last part, shifting on Neutral when you are going downhill. Thank you.
