As an American watching this video, when it hits the 6:13 mark my heart stopped and was instinctively like "WATCH OUT! TRUCK!"
Same here brooo hahah
As an American I just realized how Lazy I was for not learning how to drive
manual earlier.
I managed to downshift from 3rd to 2nd today when approaching a roundabout and it was super smooth for the first time. My instructor actually clapped haha cheers for the video
Ironic how you can only become a better driver AFTER you pass your test
Worse also.
Oi nice profile pic
Very helpful. I bought my first manual a month ago and have gotten over the basics now am trying to learn how to drive smoothly and correctly. Thanks for the tips!
Good luck with learning to drive and have fun! :)
Tip: downshifting is tougher so use double-clutch rev matching to do it. It provides a safety net in case u dont get revs exact
look I bought the whole rev meter and by god I'm gonna use the whole damn thing
Watching this this 2020, thank you. This is so simple and informative at the same time.
"if you need to get away quickly" (thinks about bank heist)
I'm not here to judge where you'll be driving to or away from ;)
Top tips paynos bro... Love all the car vids keep them up...
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words man and I'll keep making them for sure :)
I havent driven a manual in almost 8 years and I panicked! But watching your videos has given me confidence again as I was able to reverse back and go into forward drive in first gear and that is a massive accomplishment for me lol The only difference with our manual sticks here in New Zealand is our reverse is to the bottom right
Thanks for the educative knowledge of gear shifts
1:02 the best advice
The problem is, I can`t even remember what gear I was in to begin with. .And I need to think so hard on how to change gears...
But I only had 12 lessons so far, so it`s not all lost yet. :D
you're amazing and have helped me a lot in learning to drive
Thank you! I'm glad I could help
Very useful for a beginner like me.
Great informative helpful video
I love your videos.You got new fan :)
Thanks for being part of the team! :D
Really helpful videos. ...thanks a lot. ..
clear, simple instructions
Your voice is heaven
Terrific channel
Your Very happy 8,150th subscriber.. man .. You are great.. Hope you will become a great youtuber.☺☺
Thank you! Really appreciate that
thanx man
Good tips bro helped me learn how to drive stick during deployment because that's all they have 😂
Thanks for watching man! Drive safe :)
Great video. basic rule in pretty sure is to upshift at 2000rpm, unless you redline it lol
I did the 2k rpm shift pt when i first started driving too, as a caution. However, *now i must say it sounds nearly ridiculous!
If you have your own space on the road-sure- take ur time like a granny and baby the clutch. Practically speaking you want at...
...least 2500-2700 rpm. This way your next gear will start at 1800-2000, giving you barely enough leverage w/in powerband to accel >
Downshifting doesn't put to much wear to the gearbox it's a normal operating mode, but alows you to save fuel and your brake pads and disks.
I found coming off a national speed limit road into a 30mph road I would go down to 3rd so I could control the car better with my instructor and she said good. I started feeling for myself.
Your videos have helped me so much! You explain things in a way that are so simple and easy to understand better then some of the instructors I've had. Keep up the fab work✨
Thank you!
Thanks
Hi there,i have a question,if i'm on gear 3,4 or 5 on the straight road when I've come to a turn, can i reduce my throttle by tapping the brake and turn or i have to change to gear 2 before making a turn? Can you advise me on this question and explain the better way to do turning in high gear?
I think I blew a synchro ring on 3rd gear because it grinds very very slightly on most upshifts from 2nd gear to 3rd gear. I also tried double clutching upshifts by going into neutral and releasing the clutch and pressing it again and going into 3rd and it didn't grind. Any tips on caring for my compromised 3rd gear to minimize wear?
Thankyou dear God bless you .
*raises tongue up and down with the look of extreme drought of memes* "HAALP...HAALP PLS" *dies*
U shouldnt downshift much at highway speeds because of clutch/synchronizer wear, but at 115 km/h or 70 mph for most cars it is really unlikely u'd be redllining 3rd gear (max 130-140 kph). Double-clutching would help
You should be a driving instructor.
Appreciate it man! :)
Gordon Ip he probably is
McMonoNuggets 2 based on the slack control I'd hope not to be honest. A few items (I'm being nice with 'few') are not very good.
please elaborate
Pelican Stevenson I ' could ' give you a second by second run down but I don't think there is the need... and I'm not an examiner. in response to others saying you should be an instructor; as I explain... you display a lot of sloppy control of the car. I would be shocked if you'd (the poster) would pass a test with that std therefor I made the comment I did in response to others inferring the stds are something to aspire to. they are not in my view. that of course is only my view... 😊
Why does my car start shaking when Im changing gears from 2nd to 3rd going on to the motorway? I need to go down back to 2nd to stop it.
Tip: a wide angle lense that includes your surroundings would give more life to your video
For sure, cash was a little bit tight at the time so couldn't get my hands on one. Getting it sorted for next year though don't worry :)
i just started my driving lessons and i feel weird driving at parking lots,im in 2nd gear and i noticed my car just launches when i just release the clutch,like really faster than expected,is that normal?
Who else thinks he looks like shaggy
my car's rpm's hang or "hun?t" when I shift lower than 3k rpm: I think because I've created the habit of shifting there or higher, and the clutch Hhydraulic .What do you think?
Thanks I was scared when shifting down gear
I think it does depend on the car though. I did my lessons in a 1.2 Corsa which only had 60hp and it was terrible. I was changing gears between 3000 and 3500 revvs because it was jst soo soo slow. If i chamged earlier than 3000 there was no power at all.

subscribed for being hella cool
How do you stop that jolt when downshifting? Say 4th gear to 2nd from an A road to a side road.
(Still doing lessons so take that into consideration)
2 Months late but I found slowing to between 15-20, changing down to 2 while braking and then slowly bringing the clutch up reduces jolting considerably. Might be one of these factors, might be all of them, all I know is that it works for me!
Rev matching; blipping the throttle to bring the engine speed up to the road speed so there's no braking forces from your engine to your wheels, causing the jolt.
Change geqr when the car goes " raghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". Job done
while releasing clutch in 2nd or 3rd gear how should i release? i mean first release clutch fully then press gas pedal? or while releasing clutch i have to press gas pedal also?
You need to release clutch slowly while simultaneously pressing the gas pedal
im (american) learning stick, i have 3-4 and 4-5 upshifts down, just need practice starting smoothly and 1-2 upshift
That 1-2 is always a lil tricky to get smooth. Just be more patient with the timing and smoother than you think with the clutch release!
👍
My Scirocco 1.4 tells me to go into 5th at 31mph and will happily sit in 6th at 1200rpm at around 40mph. Tells me to change gear around 1800rpm. Occassionally I take it to redline though for some fun ahaha
Daam mines 1.4 fiat punto, around 25mph time for 4th realsically gotta change faast af my arms kill from changing quick lmao icri 😢
Lugging can bend the crankshaft, over revving can blow the head gasket. Use your ears you can tell when your car is struggling or suffering
Definitely, it's amazing what you can learn just by listening to how your car responds.
Hence whyyy it's impirtant to miss the damn concerts and diucebags who dhout in your ear! Espec on cars w/ no tach!! -- personal exp
You do realise most engines will sit at just under redline all day long......
Can you like shift into first gear, rev it up, press the brakes and hold it when in traffic??
Kunal Datt You'd be in first holding the breaks and clutch in while in traffic, wears the clutch out though. If it's bad traffic just stay in neutral and go to first when needed
Gostei
Great video but I would recommend not to put sound on the background if the purpose of the video is to hear the engine.
Watching this I was panicking, wish I did my test in a manual rather than a auto
Wooow... I wish I could have a car..!
At redline, of course.
what is the background music?
And also what happens if you're going down a hill and you just go into neutral and take your foot off the clutch? You won't get engine braking and you can just roll right?
If the car's in neutral with the clutch out you will just roll, but it's probably a better idea to keep it in gear when you're driving normally at speed :)
Paynos alright cheers! I have my test on Halloween which isn't the best idea I've ever had but I think I should be good, thanks for all the helpers
012chris210 did you pass???
A better way to go fast and take advantage of gravity/downhills is by selecting one of the top two gears. Minim engine-brakin
When coming to a stop at a light going say.. 30mph can’t you just put it to neutral and apply the brakes accordingly to a complete stop? Or would it be harder to control?
+Universal_ Wisdom British driving Instructors are always taught to brake first, then clutch down and stop before applying the handbrake and selecting neutral. That way you keep both hands on the steering wheel during the manoeuvre itself. If you move the gearstick during the manoeuvre, you are complicating things and potentially compromising vehicle control by removing your hands from the wheel, when you should be concentrating on stopping. Hope that helps.
MSM4U2POM Thanks!
Universal_ Wisdom still, when you get better at driving, learn to rev-match and maybe even heel-toe. It's not that heel-toe is in any way mandatory to know, but it does save a bit of fuel to be running in gear when coming to a stop as long as possible, and it WILL save your clutch downshifting. Also, it's extremely good for Ur driving pleasure, as its damn satisfying to get right
i dont like changing to 3rd gear i always put it to 1 when i do it fast
I just put the Car in 1st Gear If I Slow Down to 6 MPH
I Upshift at 2.500-3000 RPM Generally
On the Highway I rev up to 3.500-4.500 RPM
The Redline on my Car is at 6.000 RPM
I Downshift at 1.800 RPM.
I feel like I will never get the hang of this. I feel so stupid
Cars are made to run, redline won't damage the engine, that's why they have a rev limiter
fuck! driving is very hard especially for me.
Nebbou Hicham because you are a fool
so your saying to dump the clutch
Hi.. i have a small car..., after all car video i watched, i understood that i should not use too much clutch.. so o did my small research in my car that.. my car's 1rst gear idle speed is 8 kmph and 2nd idle speed is 12 kmph...my car doesnt have tackometer, so what i do is, except the traffic roads , bumpy roads, and ascending roads, at the speed of 10 kmph , i use 2nd gear so that i just need 2 kmph clutching to reach at 12 kmph. When i am below 10 kmph, like 9 kmph, i use 1rst gear so that i can only use clutch to just to rev match.. and if i am lower than 8 kmph i can just use the clutch to reach to 8 kmph... i did this way so that i dont have to use clutch and clutch ware decreases..
But after i watch this video i am confused.. because yu said to only downshift it to first when it stops... or else there will bes a clutch ware.. so am i doing the right thing..??😐😐😐😐😐
Depends on car u figure out how it works urselfff. Like my punto im gradually learning gear speeds fo IT
When you said about the tesla it made me think, you can't actually get a manual electric car can you? Right?
No not at all. Formula E has flappy paddle gearboxes attached to their cars but that's the closest you can get these days!
Paynos so semi-automatic?
The are no gears on most electric cars. The motors have a high enough power density to drive the car without a gearbox.
Removing the need for a gearbox can save on weight (at least for consumer cars) and can improve reliability as you have far fewer moving parts to deal with (motor controllers are solid-state electronics anyway) 👍
there are some old electric cars that do I believe
You should be a driving instructor
It's not as if he's being dangerous whilst driving because of the cameras. I think he'd be a great driving instructor the way he explains things is easier to understand than some other instructors.
Chloe Blackburn how are the cameras dangerous?😂
I don't know why i'm watching this video, i already know i have to shift at red line..
petrol then its about 2500-3000rpm then change gears, in a diesel car it is less around 2000-2500rpm
Yeah that's about right for normal driving :)
Paynos yep i drive a manual gerboxed car my dads is diesel and have lover rpm and my car is a little motor petrol and has higher rpm
I find myself driving at around 4k if I try and use engine note because my radio is always blasting. Using shift light is the best way to go
when u hit 7k rpms !!!!
Can u do a car review please
I've done one already on my own car, but I'm planning to do them more regularly this year coming up! :)
High revs aren't bad for a car, even past redline unless your car is still cold.
dont change gear if you dont need to. if you want to save fuel. for exampel acce in to motorway go on the 3rd gear to the speed and then 6 gear.
3 to 6?? you will end up forcing your engine, probably even stall if you don't have the right amount of revs built up
DANIEL3351 My driving teacher want me to do that to save fuel becuse you dont need to acc on every gear. And its also fun
You need to remake this Title.
I always change at 2000rpm in a 1.8T sport petrol passat :)
mr Insane You may want to bump that up a bit, particularly with a turbo. You'll actually get a longer lifespan that way as lugging them too much will cause a detonation/timing issue. My 2.Slow non turbo Jetta won't be shifted that low. 3k would be much better. :)
will test it while out and about think gearbox is on way out anyway thing won't always go into gear and it slips out from time to time
who is all grown up now
3:13 man changed the wrong gear😫
But....BUT...... How do you know all this when you're only 12 ? :-D
Ironlord2015 you’re not supposed to be driving anyways
It would be better if you were able to demonstrate what you're saying then there's a visual back up. Otherwise I don't get what you're saying.
Wrong stick shift 3:10 ;)
bwahahaha I was scrolling through the comments to see if someone noticed that :D
Tesla don't have gears.
pleb time
