This kinda video is the reason why I like the content. A normal dude and his girl driving in a civic si. Nothing fancy, just real life. Keep up the good shit
My wife has been driving stick for like 15 years and she still goes in neutral all the time. I tried to tell her that you use less gas slowing down in gear but sometimes people do things their way.
Something I’ve found helpful when teaching someone who’s getting used to the shift pattern is using 3rd and 4th as sort of a “home base.” Basically if you’re unsure where you’re at or not confident you’re not going to money shift, those two gears are straight up or down from being totally in neutral with no left or right pressure on the shifter.
How’d you get the rev hang so low on your 9th gen. Was it the flashpro? My girlfriend daily’s a 2012 civic si and you literally have to wait for the rpm’s to drop(no flash pro). It doesn’t like being shifted fast
That was awesome! She did better then I did when I got my 2013 SI. And I’ve been in a 1996 z24 5 speed, 2002 rsx 5 speed, and I learned Manual trans shifting in a 96 jeep wrangler with a 5 speed long time ago. (The Jeep was brand new). Just awesome
I know when I first started driving manual, I couldn’t listen to music, and when my buddy was talking to me, it was hard to focus on the road and what he was saying and my gears and etc. so I feel her when she said she’s multitasking and would need to like “coast” or pull over to fully understand the things you were explaining to her. But great video. Will be teaching my GF soon as well lol I’m a pro with everything now except heel toe, which, I don’t need because I’m fine with rev matching or double clutching etc.. lets race! Haha
Great tips for shifting like a pro. Vivian, don’t read this, but honestly, you could coast as much as you want and shift without blipping the throttle on that car for years and the clutch will still be fine. Maybe not so much if you’re slamming gears...
My reason she could not learn on my Si was because I needed to break in the clutch. She can take out my 5speed forester anytime. Problem is the engine and transmission mounts are pretty shot which makes it more difficult to shift smooth.
I was teaching my gf on my civic si too... sold it and now lessons are over haha dont think shes ready for the s550 5.0, even i feel like a new driver in it😬😜 fkng mt82's 😜
Hmmm coasting vs staying in gear. I know it's personal preference, but someone once told me this and it stuck with me: What's cheaper? Clutch parts, or brake parts? Usually, brake parts. Coasting is what I prefer.
Interesting. I’ve always double clutched and blipped the throttle BEFORE shifting into gear when downshifting, but also when coming out of neutral and into a higher gear as well to save the synchros. Is putting it in gear, then blipping the throttle much different, or mainly to save the clutch?
I think it's a matter of how she holds the shift knob. She's pull more towards her than away. Try back handing it, or just watch one of Aki's video on project driver
keeping in gear instead of coasting in neutral improves the gas consumption bc the injection shuts off when the car is in gear and the foot's off the throttle, and doesn't put stress on the brakes bc of engine braking, so in fuel injected cars it's better to just keep in gear, saves some money on gas and on brake pads on the long run ;) love the content man
@@Camhill182 i get that :v had to do the same when my ex gf got her first car :D i'm happy to see more and more women getting interested in cars, it's a lot of fun
Keeping the car in gear uses more gas,because the revs are higher,so its using more gas. Its not rocket science. This whole Channel is nothing but misinformed early 2000 web forms🤦♂️
God the third to second money shift literally made my heart stop. I'm shaking while typing this 😂 That aside, I think she's an excellent driver. Great job Vivian! You destroyed that power stroke even with Cam the sandbag in the passenger seat 😉 You're a'ight too cam
How many miles is on your 9th gen? Also maybe I'm just use to it but I don't really feel any difference when vtech comes on. I'm sure it's working, the lights on the dash light up when you get to 5k,6k and 7k rpm like it should.
"you know the feeling when you dont hold the throttle and the vehicle like jerks? that is causing damage every time you do that" 2 mins later (launches car from dig). i was dead, keep up the content
Man, my sister, a few of my friends, and my cousin all want me to teach them manual in my car 😑. It’s a bad feeling when you smell someone burning your clutch up.
Happened to me a couple times going from 5th to 6th and accidentally went into 4th while driving fast and shifting at 6k rpm in 5th to 6th, but went to 4th, which obviously the revs would be way above redline, and it saved my ass!!! Got luckily, but gotta be careful going from 5th to 6th sometimes when not paying attention fully.... I was lucky lol
Don't feel bad. I tried teaching my wife in my RSX-S and she almost fried the clutch after 1 minute in the driver's seat. Honda motors are pretty resilient.
How many clutches have you gone through? :-) I just had to change my 2007 Civic Sdn Si clutch out at 229K, I put all the miles on it... Waiting for the 2022 Civic Si to come out, replace then.
The part where she wanted to go in 5 th gear. Wouldn’t it be better to down shift to 4 th .instead of giving it gas then let go of the clutch . Doesn’t that burn the clutch more ur way
Hahah wow Cam!! Yeah my gf would be pissy if I was taping her and also trying to teach her, and especially cause girls think were coming off as jerks when simply trying to be nice explaining things.... even if we over explain to make sure it’s detailed.. lol
Hahha i money shifted a 2003 civic that I was looking to buy... I am glad the owner was not with me but I locked up the weels.... it was my second time driving manual and I went alone with a car that was not mine..... I downshifted from second to first at like 20mph. I guess it was too fast! The car was mint, only 51 000 miles grandma owned
@@Camhill182 nope! The car only had 51 000 miles but the guy was asking too much for it. He was selling it for is grandma and he was asking 4000$. I tough he would go down a bit but no... the car was so clean tho... I ended up buying a mint 2007 civic for the same price but with new brakes, new tires and 57 000 miles! It’s automatic sadly.... this happened this summer for info. Nice vid tho! I am loving the 8th gen even tho it’s just an auto r18
I think you should not teach her how to rev match yet too much for a new driver. once she got the shifting down pack then you can go crazy and power shift burnouts etc lmao
When i was doing it, there were no cars in front or behind us in sight and we were on a back road. When she did it, we were right next to an industrial park with several businesses lots of traffic going in and out and Ive also seen several cops in that area several times before. 😁
@@Camhill182 I get locked out in my 9th gen every time I shift unless I grind it in bad. I don't have a tune, so I'm assuming it's all just rev hang ;)
"What was that!?", "That was v-tech ." 🤣

AGAIN with the quality content. You've been on a roll last few uploads
Thanks!
Your patience is above average! Can't wait to see what gains you get with FBO's and a tune! Keep up the good content man.
Watching this makes me more eager to get my first manual and start teaching my girl🔥👏🏼
Laughed out loud when she bogged and said ,”My God, what is that?!” And you immediately reply with, “it was vtec”. 😆
So proud of Vivian, representing the ladies.
She sure did!
Awesome that your girl can drive manual...most women want an auto! You guys are a cute couple👍👍 #save the manuals!
starting at 10:24 you were in the ZONE haha, great video. Picking up a 2015 SI for my next car this weekend.
I know the Type R is wonderful and all, but banging through the gears on this 9th gen is really making me want to pick one up for a daily!
My Grandma actually taught me how to drive manual transmission. True story 🤣
She's on it. Great job 👍
LMFAO, love how she calls you out about the wallet and keys!
I drive an Si 2012 and this video helped me a lot since this is my first manual car. Thanks !
Great! Im glad I could help

I did the same thing going from 5th-6th but putting it into 4th when I first got my 9th gen si
Lol BTW I felt you when you said "Lets not do this again"

Both of my cars are manual. My wife does not know how to drive a manual. I think I will keep it that way.
My heart sank while filming and editing this video

To save the synchros you allways need to double clutch. blipping the throttle after shifting is just to save the clutch.
@@a.a.2783 kind of what I thought.

On her own in normal driving her shifting is seamless, good seeing her beat on it a little.

Agreed! I just had to explain it to her in layman's term, since she isnt very hip with car-talk

Great vid!
I always coast to stop sign. No issues anyway lol
Same I was told it’s better to go threw brakes than using the transmission to slow down the car. Idk it’s al preference I guess.
"What if theres a dead goo residue all over the floor or something?" LOL!
I’m dying lol that was a V tech 😅😅 that’s a real Honda fan !
Never knew what "money shifted" was...I swear I learn something new in every one of your videos...😂
You should have called the video, Vivian hitting Vtec😎
Love you guys..she's a PRO.
the 'lets not do that again ' Face 😂🤣😂🤣 great video cam
Fam she riding that clutchhhh
How many clutches have you gone through? :-) I just had to change my 2007 Civic Sdn Si clutch out at 229K, I put all the miles on it...

I need to keep practicing with my gf in the 10th gen. But can we see the zoomed in version of your face going into 4th @10:32 lol
“I kinda wanna slow it down and do it again” -that’s when Cameron knew that she’s the one😂🙌🏼🤙🏽
Oh smack do I see a 9th and 10th gen race between the two of you in the near future??? Lol
Absolutely not. My 10th Gen is ridiculously faster than the 9th right now. Not even close at all. Not even a little bit
Can't wait till I get a manual transmission car 🚗💨
Girls rule
The part where she wanted to go in 5 th gear.
Wouldn’t it be better to down shift to 4 th .instead of giving it gas then let go of the clutch . Doesn’t that burn the clutch more ur way
You actually did the video
Where are the other parts to the tune videos?
What do you mean? I have like 4 videos of the tuning process
More wear than damage but both of you did good 👍
Great video! I was worried she was going to get actually mad at you a couple times lol.
Oh she was not pleased about doing this video. I had to beg her for over a week
Hahah wow Cam!! Yeah my gf would be pissy if I was taping her and also trying to teach her, and especially cause girls think were coming off as jerks when simply trying to be nice explaining things.... even if we over explain to make sure it’s detailed.. lol
Cameron appears to be a huge Honda aficionado.
No disrespect, but I honestly kept waiting on him to say "Good girl!" and offer her a treat. lmao
Not bad. Good lesson!
I praying your FB6 don't get clutch to blew up! And, good keep up with her!
Great video she’s a lot better than any girl I’ve tried to teach they always give up 10 minutes in 😂
Shoot I’m gonna have to start going to Starbucks and find me a girl like Vivian 😂
I did the same thing with my si went from 5 to 4th
did it blow up?
what is he holding at 12:30
vape boi
A vid ive been waiting for😂
You have more patience than me, that's for sure lol
Great job on the clutch!
You gotta teach her how to rev match next, it'll let her keep it in gear instead of coasting in neutral which is not a good habit
Your girl is cute. Put her in more vids for sure!
Hahha i money shifted a 2003 civic that I was looking to buy...

Yikes. Did you end up buying it?

Vivian Cheese B smoked the ford out there,
Put a ring on it
I think it's nice to teach ur gf or a wife to drive a manual
That was a fun video
That VTEC is aggressive asf boi
Was that fun? Viv not impressed with our 9th gens 😂😂
Dope girlfriend bro 💯
I want an 8th gen si 😪
Funny ass vid!
I think you should not teach her how to rev match yet too much for a new driver. once she got the shifting down pack then you can go crazy and power shift burnouts etc lmao
Can i get her ig?
You
e a patient man, Cameron.
It's ok for the boyfriend to go over the speed limit but not the girlfriend 😁.
When i was doing it, there were no cars in front or behind us in sight and we were on a back road. When she did it, we were right next to an industrial park with several businesses lots of traffic going in and out and Ive also seen several cops in that area several times before. 😁
she knows how to drive but da arm rest tho.. teach her how to rematch or downshift or heel toe...???
She did quite well. Teach her not to leave her hand on the shifter all the time, it is a bad habit.
There were a dozen other things i wanted to say, but she was already getting frustrated
First view!
Vape pen made it's debut!!😝
You haven't owned a Honda truly if you haven't money shifted it at least once ;)
Ive never money shifted, but I have been locked out of gears while WOT, which is almost just as bad
@@Camhill182 I get locked out in my 9th gen every time I shift unless I grind it in bad. I don't have a tune, so I'm assuming it's all just rev hang ;)
Dude stop making the stupid cruise/coast thing a big deal lmao.
Its not a big deal, just a tip to stay in control more
Watching people learn to drive stick kills me on the inside just a bit...
