The thumbnail deserves some sort of award surely
So should you with a profile to match your comment
😄
Yeah it's hilarious! I laughed out loud
I was gonna comment this hahha gold
It's a work of art
Every driving instructor should have an electric drill in their car
Every instructor isn't so passionate and helpful like him
i prefer the old video where he uses a paper plate or something to represent the flywheel and the whole thing jiggles like a broken washing machine
That was golden
👍🏻😄👍🏻
People always explained it as bad to stay on the clutch. When I first started driving a manual, I would stall letting out the clutch to quickly trying to spare the car. This is the PERFECT video for anyone that is a visual learner and doesn't understand what using the clutch does and the right way to use it.
Same here lol
I was letting go to precent muh
Clutch wear.
at sub 2k rpm
Clutch wear is a meme jt doesn’t happen
I always ask other people why car when they drive its skipping some times, and goes slow after gear change, and they say that it should work like that, i learned myself to drive, with goal to be very smooth and only thing i came up its very little hold on bite point to match with little bit of gas, and now i feel like im driving sports car ,but its regular car , drive its so smooth even downshifting, but i keep my eyes so i don't use it to match more then 300 rpm so i use bite point very little, even if my clutch work 10 years, its 130$ with replacement, so fuck it
This was exactly my issue when I was being taught. I was told to get off the clutch as soon as possible. This video is perfect for explaining you need to let the clutch come up to engine speed before releasing the clutch fully.
THIS IS THE BEST Clutch explanation I have ever seen. Thanks Richard!
True da true.
Very informative, thanks.
"Ooh! I can smell that!" I love the smell of clutch in the morning...
What does it smell like?
@@pugsterjosh7925 smells something like burned brake pads but stronger, with a smell that lingers
It's hard to describe the smell.
@@pugsterjosh7925 Bit like a mix of burning rubber and burning hair if you've ever singed an eyebrow or the like (probably given the mix of resin and organic compounds used in the friction plate). Lingers as well, doesn't just dissapate like some other burning smells
@@pugsterjosh7925 As someone who had never smelled it before, it reminded me of burning rubber. It's also scary because, as the others say, the smell lingers for a while. If I was on my own I think I would've panicked thinking something was still burning.
finally someone actually properly explains what does and does not damage the components.
it always made me nervous not knowing for sure.
Hello Richard, a couple of months ago I posted a comment about my sometimes 4K rpm hill starts 😂. Happy to report that now I consistently am able to do it at 1.5-2k rpm without using any brakes, just timing of clutch and gas. Thank you for your videos, I’ll keep watching them ❤️
I'm happy to hear that, I'm sure your clutch is too 😉
I’ve been struggling with getting going from a stop smoothly because I panic with all the impatient drivers here in America. I think I’ve been pulling the clutch up too fast because my starts are often very jerky. Thank you for this helpful video!
Well this might be your best thumbnail to date, brilliant!
giving a thumbs up, poor richard's car had to experience 4k rpm start.
"The things I do for those videos" 😂 That was golden, and could be a motto for your channel. And thanks for sacrificing your clutch to teach us. I like the model you used to explain the connection between the clutch and the engine. We should all have screwdrivers in our cars, it's only logical (for quick repairs, or demonstrations). Also, assuming that "that lovely white car" is your other car, you definitely would not like to risk hitting it. 😂
I wish my driving instructor used the screwdriver analogy because for the longest time, I didn't understand how the clutch worked or what the bite point is...
7:57 I laughed so hard! Please make bloopers more often at the end!
As a new driver within manual transmission, this video has really helped gain a better understanding within "riding the clutch" and also provide information that may is very useful.
New manual driver, this really saved my bacon! Just got a new nissan versa, and 4000 rpm started it a solid 2-3 times and was wondering what that burning rubber smell was when I finally got it home, I'll be practicing with more caution. Thank you for sharing this
0 dislikes and 1.2k likes..I am seeing this for the first time.. keep it up man
Brilliant instructor.
Thank you for confirming 🙏🏽 I am learning so much. The hills in our area gives me heartburn😂😂
I been driving stick for over 30 years now. Still, i enjoy watching your videos.
this is like THE video on manual transmission I’ve been looking for.. it answers all my questions as i live in a hilly area
Man so many people have told me how to do this wrong. I have never heard of anything resembling the bite point. I have been told not to put the clutch in to slow down while reversing, which I do to avoid a collision. Thank you so much. I will re-watch this every day until I get this right.
Recently got my first car and realised there's still loads that I need to learn, especially when it comes to driving to minimise wear on the car. This video has given me loads of information that I couldn't find anywhere else, THANK YOU!
congrats on your new car
OMG now i understand why my clutch worn out too quickly when i was starting to learn 🤣 thank you Richard for explaining the clutch in the easiest way!
Can we appreciate the scared to death clutch in the thumbnail for a moment?
The thumbnail is proper class
Thumbnail: 10/10
Another very good video! I've been driving for decades but I have still learned a few things from your channel 🙂.
i have always being haunted with “release the clutch smoothly”, without knowing that you can hold the clutch in the biting point a few second. no matter how much I tried to smoothly but continuously release the clutch, the car always jerk. This video carefully explain this very and really hope me alot
Love your videos mate, always informative, and gives me confidence in driving
You really deserve more subs as your videos are quite informative & each time we learn something new from you.
👍
So much varying information online about slipping/riding the clutch and what's bad or not bad for the clutch. This video (and all your other videos) have been a MASSIVE help in learning manual. Thank you!
This is the best explanation of how the clutch works that I've seen on youtube, kudos for that.
That ending is perfect, excellent video as always !
These are the most helpful videos for beginning manual drivers, thank you!
Passed my practical test first time on Friday!! Massive thanks to you and your videos (and my instructor) don’t think I would have been able to pass this fast during two lockdowns without your videos, they’re amazingly helpful. Thank you :)
Congratulations! I'm pleased to hear it.
Thank you so much, Richard 🥰 you were born for this job 😁
THIS IS THE BEST Clutch explanation I have ever seen thank you so much
The science of clutch riding. I love these empirical videos.
The fact that this is an educational video about cars and only has 2 thumbs down just shows you how well its done. Thank you!
I am so thankful for your channel. I am getting better at driving my focus and gaining for confidence in myself. I am so happy to be learning this skill and your videos have helped me tremendously. Thank you.
As others have said, this is the best clutch explanation I've seen on TH-cam
Richard you have honestly helped with me remembering how to drive manual. Thank you 🎉
learned driving from u man. thanks a lot. i am kinda confident now and still watch ur videos to learn more.
This is by far the best and Easy to understand demonstration I’ve come across on how the clutch works and how as a driver to use it effectively. Bloody Brilliant mate. I enjoy watching your videos. I can’t believe someone can use an electric screw driver to explain it neatly.
This was helpful was really struggling with the clutch today during my lesson.
As a learner who just passed their test (does that make me not a learner?) in a diesel car only ever moving away only on the clutch, this is a lifesaver. Going from a juicy Cooper Sport diesel to a very docile Renaul Clio petrol, i've been stressing about the clutch and just i'm using it. The thought of starting on a hill is terrifying. Watching your videos has really helped me understand the mechanics of moving away with clutch and throttle in sync, and this just reassures me that a launching from a handbreak on a hill isn't going to kill the clutch relieves me somewhat. It's pretty difficult finding that right balance between clutch and throttle at the moment, but I will get there!
Simply you are the best...wishing u was in my city and I'm taking lesson every week with you. 🥰
Great video! I've been driving for over a decade now, but endless online debates made me question whether what I was taught is wrong, or if I remember it wrong.
Your videos have been a confidence boost, I don't seem to be doing so bad after all (as judged by... me)!
This is one of the best driving tutorial channel on youtube.
Thank you for the videos!!! I am learning how to drive manual thanks to you
Very helpful video. Had to repair my clutch today and I want to fix some poor driving habits I had with my shifting.
The man, the legend, back in action!
Absolutely excellent video quality. Thankyou for this free rescource
Thank you thank you thank youuuu there's no one that explains these things clearly and I needed it thank you so much love from India ❤
This guy is absolutely amazing
This is so helpful. I'm just learning to drive stick and I'm surprised how many people who "know how to drive stick" have basically told me to ride the clutch on a hill...
Sir Your all videos are very informative. I learn manual car driving with the help of your videos. 👍
The thumbnail is a work of art😂🤌🏾
Passed today and your channel helped enormously
Thanks !
Congratulations! I'm happy to hear I've helped.
thank you for your video, I'm American and figured the people who literally only drive manuals would be great teachers and i wasn't wrong taught me a lot
Best driving tutorials on TH-cam
I passed my driving test today and I just want to say that your videos are amazing. I can't thank you enough!
Congratulations! You're very welcome 😊
Excellent demonstration
Thank you master for the knowledge you bestow upon us youth 🙏🏽, I wanna be able to drive stick before the art is no longer needed in this fast evolving world.
🙂..iam learning alot from you Conquer Driving school 💞 thank you for being so helpful 💕.... All the way from South Africa.
hi I just passed my manual exam! and it's all thx to u man. your videos helped me so much!
Congratulations! I'm so pleased to hear that.
Perfectly explained, thank you!
I must confess. You’re a genius man🥰🙌🏽🙌🏽😂
Am getting my first Car and its an old corolla box type... Excited and nervous at the same time because its been long since I drove a manual Car, these videos really helping calm me as I count down.
How long did you do without driving a manual?
thank you very much sir! i learned a lot and it was very easy to understand! 👍
Thanks for explaining,also thanks for taking ur time to educate some of Us 👍🏽👍🏽
i never watched something be clarified so well
The Best Video on YT on Clutch Riding, and how to handle it gracefully! Awesome! I know a youtuber who reviews cars and starts all his new cars with 4000 RPM.. damn!
Great video mate!
That thumbnail is absolutely amazing.
Thank you for this one! Good for peace of mind.
The best video I ever watched on this
Very Good explanation of clutch sir..👍
Wonderfully explained.
so grateful for this video ♥️
Wow mister, you are very good at your job
My driving instructor always taught me the handbrake start… even though I’ve passed now, the usual method when I was learning is clutch at bite with brake on for 20 seconds sometimes even longer while I wait for traffic to clear… didn’t know that was so bad.
Another brilliant informative video👍🏻
Sacrificial conquer videos are the best videos.
Love your video. Very helpful thank you
Thanks that was a really useful video, I know what I'm doing wrong now.
Your videos always help. 🙂👍🏻
Very nice videos bro. Thank you for your effort
Dude thank you, driving my 1988 325e in style 🤙
I've learned something new... Thanks
I love the first person view
Very informative thanks for your content.
Wow! You r very knowledgeable!👌👌👌
Poor clutch got damaged for making this video... I hope it's still alive. :(
You can do that quiet a few times before it's toast. But it does depend on their car.
That’s me today before a roundabout- terrifying experience
Hi Richard, Although this is a great video the only detail that I noticed(not that important) but it is that the clutch connects to the flywheel, just to clarify the clutch has sets of plates, which in your explanation can be simplified as just two plates, when the clutch pedal is release what actually happens is that the spinning clutch plates on the engine side start to rub against the gearbox side plates and gradually the rotation speed of the clutch will be the same across all the clutch plates.
Great video. Thank you.
You are my hero dude
Watching all way Uganda 🇺🇬 East Africa 🥰
I like your body language so much. You're surely a great presenter! One note, you might need an external mic to enhance the audio quality for your dialogue. Keep it up mate, your videos have helped many.
