@@ironkicks3075 Might be a little late but every manual car has a different bite point. I heard the WRX'S is quick to engage so it could just be a skill issue on your part.
i've been watching so many videos on "how to drive a manual," and this one is by far the most helpful, well spoken, and easy to understand! not to mention the camera angles were spot on, AND helpful. takes away so much of the anxiety that these other fast spoken videos end up giving me. thank you so much!
The fact he gave multiple examples instead of one, helps. Been watching lots of these videos. I hate when they teach one example and don’t use the proper wording to make you understand, then they move on.
I’ve watched dozens of stick shifts guides. Although they were good, yours gave me the most confidence in learning. Watching real examples on the road over and over is beyond helpful!
Thanks to you I have become a better driver in my manual car. I'm a new driver to it. I love how you have the three cameras to show everything it's very helpful!👍🏼
I really appreciate your clear and simple explanation! I also appreciate that you've provided all possible viewpoints including the speed and RPM! Thank you for that. This is the best stick shift how-to demonstration. I was curious to know the proper way to creep forward from a stop and you've made it clear for me (10:37). Great work, thanks again!
I don’t know what it is, this is the best tutorial on manual driving. The dual camera, calm direct voice is not only assuring but also informative. User friendly. Thank you for simplicity and applicable directions. There are multiple good videos but this is the best.
This is the most useful video guide to driving manual I have seen anywhere online! Thanks a lot for uploading this. This video deserves much more views. Period!
As a new manual car driver, I found this video more useful than the hundreds of other videos I have been watching over the last few days. You explain in a clear and easy to understand way. Thank you!
I needed this. I'm a year late but while I've been practicing I know how to move and shift through gears but when it comes to stopping or turning a corner I end up stalling. But after watching this, on my next practice drive I honestly felt so much more confident in what I had to do and out of the many times I stalled beforehand; I only stalled once but it was due to a dog running into the street. Thanks for the video man
I don't really "need" these videos, as I learned to drive a manual about 15 years ago. However, they're still really helpful, as it's also been about 7 or 8 years since I'd driven one until recently. Thank you for these, for me and for anyone who's just learning for the first time. it's like riding a bicycle, once you learn, you never really forget. But there are little things I couldn't quite remember, and maybe my parents didn't teach me everything. They did well enough for sure, but this is a nice refresher.
Trying to teach myself manual just wondering, isn't it bad to ride the clutch when coming to a stop? Is it ok to do or is it better to brake first and then clutch in when the rpm gets to like 1.5k
I never wanted a manual because it kinda scared me (especially after watching a ton of how to videos that were not good). What always scared me was stopping and this is by far the best video out there. Now I'll have a good idea of what to do if i ever get a manual car
Finally I watched this video one time and found it very helpful but I wanted to watch it again and I couldn't find it anywhere I just started driving manual.
Not sure if it was mentioned but it's extremely important in my opinion to break first and then clutch, specially in situations where you need to do a hard stop. If you're used to clutching first it wouldn't be instinctive to break quickly.
This channel is literally the best channel if you wanna learn how to drive manual u literally go thru every situation u can be in, in a manual car your the best man !!!!!
This is soooo helpful. Many thanks to you Mr. Drive Manual. Sadly, many teachers expect you to figure out all about driving by yourself.. And that happened to me on my first and second lessons. *sobs*
are you sure about Mr? :) Cannot disagree, out of so many videos, this channel kills it with repetitions, variations, commentary and visual indicators.
best intro to manual ever! you must have been teaching it for years, the commentary is so precise and straight to the point! Btw it almost looks like the legs belong to two different people, one wears jeans and another doesn't :D
You really have the best videos for learning manual. Every other video is just some guy talking about driving without really showing you anything. Thank you!
The best way is to brake first, then put the clutch in just before the car is ready to stall out. This occurs usually around 750-1000 rpm. This way you can continue using engine braking and reduce the load on your brakes, and while saving on gas. Also in some jurisdictions it is illegal to coast with your foot pressing the clutch (you are effectively in neutral). Also certain components in manual transmission have a mean lifetime before repair which is proportional to the amount of time your foot is pressing the clutch. Therefore the goal is to be pressing the clutch as least as possible. Downshifiting for sole intent of stopping should not be done by beginners or commercial cars. It should only be done for heavy trucks and race cars. Even then it might be illegal to downshift in certain jurisdictions to down shift due to noise pollution laws. Also downshifting puts strain on your transmittion parts. Brakes are a lot cheaper than transmission parts.
@@Mystxry think of downshifting as trying to slow yourself down while running downhill. You want to slow down so you start putting massive amounts of energy into your legs to fight gravity and to make sure you don't trip and fall under your own speed. Breaks are a wear item, the transmission isn't supposed to be, cheaper to replace brake pads than your clutch and transmission because you wanna downshift for no real purpose.
@@Mystxry Downshifting wears out the clutch plates if you don't execute it 100% perfectly (using perfect rev-matching). Since it is so difficult to perfect it, it is advisable to not use the technique. Unless you're an expert race car driver or heavy truck driver, I wouldn't do it. For pushing in the clutch while coasting: Every second your clutch is engaged, you are putting strain on the throw-out bearing.
@@yourspider383 so say im breaking and im in 5th slowing down to about 20mph but dont come to a full stop how do i get back into the rite gear without stalling or causing damage?
Thanks a bunch for all these videos. I've been learning to drive stick properly for a while now without the assistance of a driving school and I've saved around 1500-2000€ this way. Only a few kinks to iron out now before I'm satisified. Been working on rev matching as well.
I learned so much more in this 17 Minutes than I did in over the half-dozen 30+ minute video's I have already watched on TH-cam! Bless your heart! I will Like, Sub, Ring the Bell and watch the other part as well.
I love watching your videos! You show how slow to release the clutch which is so important so you don’t lurch the car. I slow down and put my car in neutral when I am heading to a light or stop sign not a big down shifter. I’ve been driving my manual since July steadily. I still like to look at manual videos to see if I can learn any tips. Very helpful!
Drove a manual down range in 2013 beeeeeen years now it's 2020 and I went with a manual ( woulda gone auto but hey the car was such a nice deal so fuck it ) this was my refresher course and holy fuck the best video guide period I've watched tons all talk no show this this is perfect balance
very very good video! I now learning the drive, but i dont understand the clutch and brake game. I was see this video, and i understand this Thank you very much!
If yall need like a pointer as to where and when to shift. This helped me when i was learning: Press the clutch when going slower than 800RPM’s depending on the car. at 1000 is a safer bet tho, when you are comming to a stop its better to keep the clutch pedal out as long as possible to not be coasting. Shift from first to second at like 2,5k rpm at roads and as early as you please on streets. 2nd to 3rd and so on at like 2 thousand. Mabye slightly later at highways, uphill etc. and downshifting at like 1500 to 1200 rpms.
lean do you still stall a lot ? I’m learning manual but I stalk a lot . I can’t get out of first . Sometimes I even stalk at an intersection. Like right in the middle . Will I get better or should I change to automatic transmission?
This video is more informative than many of the ones I have on my Manual Driving Playlist. Everyone I came across is saying you have to Rev Match, and Heel toe. I spent hrs looking at videos on how they do both techniques, and though I understood some of it, I didn't get the point of doing all that, or whether is necessary. Most ppl replied back saying if you're going 80-100mphs you would definitely need to know these things... But why on earth would I drive that fast? Can anyone enlighten me on whether it is needed to know those things, or is things I should pick up as a learn to drive first? I also saw them say those rev matching and heel toeing saves the car? Can't I just apply the brake and down shift as you were normally doing without the car jerking a bit?
I was the same way and then ended up saying "dammit" and stalling various times when learning. Learn that bite point before anything else, and it will be way easier.
@@t58beare I have heard the bite point can be tricky at first. I used to own a dirt bike, so I have some experience with a clutch. However, I'll probably never own a manual so it really doesn't matter 😂
people like to downshift coming to a stop for audible exhaust/engine noise and engine braking. I do it in my Mustang because it sounds great and makes me happy, even though I know it's more wear than using brake pads. Having said that, it's an automatic paddle shift manual mode that rev matches, so that should mean there is less clutch wear than user-error in a manual using heel-toe.
Downshifting for stop signs to me is based on how fast you're going and for better engine braking. If you're in 5th gear on a 55mph road going 55mph and a stop sign is coming up, I would brake until I reach a certain speed, downshift to say 3rd gear, brake, clutch in and stop.
I mostly know how to drive a manual but it's the little things that trigger my anxiety and I freak out but the fact you explain so much what to do, like I had no clue you could stop in 3rd in low rpms if you have to. I work at a dealership so I drive manuals here and there to practice more but I'm looking to upgrade from a 09 2.5i auto impreza hatch to a 2011 wrx hatch so I rlly needed to learn small things before I go buy him. Thank you for these videos😩🖤
Thank you for making this kind of videos. I am buying BRZ hopefully will get it this year, Will be my first manual car This tips are very helpful! Do you have a video going in a reverse? Lets say your in a parking lot and trying to get on the road. Would be cool if I see footwork
I got a question for anybody that knows about manual cars because my question is..when I got to a stop sign or if I’m gonna go to a red traffic light in 6th gear can I really press the break and then go to 1st gear with no problem by that I mean will it hurt my car?
In sixth gear you're going pretty fast so press the break down slowly and as your rpms go down you can downshift. Think about it, do you really think it's good to press down on the break at 70 mph?
The reason for downshifting before a stop is to minimize the braking distance until a stop, but if that's the case it's only needed on the main road driving with a speed like 70 km/h, totally unnecessary at a local road.
So if I’m in 4th gear and I’m coming to a complete stop, is it bad to break and when I get to about 1500rpm then clutch in and out into neutral if I stop within a few seconds? Or is it recommended to clutch in then break and then go into neutral until you begin moving again
I have a question. So if I am heading for a stop sign or red light and I am in 4th gear - if I want to ease of the accelerator and then put into neutral then break to come to a stop. Do I need to press clutch in when going from straight 4th gear to neutral? Or can I just ease off the accelerator and put into neutral without pushing the clutch, and not causing any damage to the transmission? Advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
So I'm just learning stick and coming to a stop if my biggest problem. So if I'm in 3rd it's okay to put the clutch in and come to a stop then putting it in either N or 1st ?
@@whoischris28 say you downshift all the way to first and come to a complete stop with the beake can you just realese the brake and get going again or have to depress the clutch?
Great video! I just have a question? When you say"clutch up and give a little gas" how much up on the clutch are you going before the give a little gas? to the biting point? or you know how much you letting off the clutch by the way your personal car feels and how smooth it should feel?
Quick question: You said it doesn't make sense to you to downshift for a stop, but what if you're in a situation where you can't really use your brakes like you would normally, like say, if the road is icy or covered in a lot of snow? Isn't downshifting useful for slowing down the car then? I don't mean in place of braking entirely, I'd still pump them to slow down as much as I could without losing control first.
I feel if you are familiar with the areas you should slow down or stop before coming up to your stop and then drive up to the stop vs trying to downshift for the stop. I think in this video I show that near end I say something like that th-cam.com/video/We9r3emgwQ4/w-d-xo.html but yes it is ok in those situations to experiment and know you can use it to your advantage if you feel it helps but I don't think it makes any sense in the rain or dry or even most snow except for changing your driving where you are slowing down way in advance. Also good to check if your car has ABS brakes because most cars do now a days I know older hondas it was always an option even up to 2001.
Just curious - so would clutching in all the time before stopping wouldn't this be hard on the clutch? Could one clutch in put in neutral then one could let off the clutch, while using brake to the stop sign?
Holding the clutch all the way down doesn't burn or cost the clutch anything. So if you hold it down earlier it won't wear away the life of the clutch. It might wear down the spring but it's really negligible. If anything, clutching to neutral then clutching to first will cause you to wear the spring down more (still negligible) since you're going through the motions twice. Maybe over a lifetime, all those extra clutch inputs will add up but I'm not an expert. Either way, you're only engaging the clutch (not the spring) once, which is when you start from 0mph in 1st gear
9:30 is it okay to downshift while turning your also loosing rpm. i think it makes you save fuel. staying on higher gear while turning makes you press the accelerator much longer to gain the speed for 3rd gear
It depends on the speed your driving in. If you’re slow (second or first gear) and you brake first, your car will most likely stall. If you’re in higher gears (3rd and upwards) you can brake without the clutch, because your speed is faster.

this place looks like in canada and thank you for the making this video i learn a lot :)
@Tp L no. Did you watch this video? He has got clutch on the left, break in the middle and gas on the right.
@@profiyntroz5186 What were you replying to?

@@_u0nda928 he said something wrong about the pedals, MAYBE their wrong order. Can't remember correctly
Downshifting for stop signs to me is based on how fast you're going and for better engine braking. If you're in 5th gear on a 55mph road going 55mph and a stop sign is coming up, I would brake until I reach a certain speed, downshift to say 3rd gear, brake, clutch in and stop.
I mostly know how to drive a manual but it's the little things that trigger my anxiety and I freak out but the fact you explain so much what to do, like I had no clue you could stop in 3rd in low rpms if you have to. I work at a dealership so I drive manuals here and there to practice more but I'm looking to upgrade from a 09 2.5i auto impreza hatch to a 2011 wrx hatch so I rlly needed to learn small things before I go buy him. Thank you for these videos😩🖤
Excellent guide, thank you very much..
Best vid so far!!!
Thank you for making this kind of videos. I am buying BRZ hopefully will get it this year, Will be my first manual car
This tips are very helpful! Do you have a video going in a reverse? Lets say your in a parking lot and trying to get on the road. Would be cool if I see footwork
amazing video!! the most helpful by far
I got a question for anybody that knows about manual cars because my question is..when I got to a stop sign or if I’m gonna go to a red traffic light in 6th gear can I really press the break and then go to 1st gear with no problem by that I mean will it hurt my car?
In sixth gear you're going pretty fast so press the break down slowly and as your rpms go down you can downshift. Think about it, do you really think it's good to press down on the break at 70 mph?
The reason for downshifting before a stop is to minimize the braking distance until a stop, but if that's the case it's only needed on the main road driving with a speed like 70 km/h, totally unnecessary at a local road.
So if I’m in 4th gear and I’m coming to a complete stop, is it bad to break and when I get to about 1500rpm then clutch in and out into neutral if I stop within a few seconds? Or is it recommended to clutch in then break and then go into neutral until you begin moving again
I have a question. So if I am heading for a stop sign or red light and I am in 4th gear - if I want to ease of the accelerator and then put into neutral then break to come to a stop. Do I need to press clutch in when going from straight 4th gear to neutral? Or can I just ease off the accelerator and put into neutral without pushing the clutch, and not causing any damage to the transmission? Advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
You always clutch then N
So I'm just learning stick and coming to a stop if my biggest problem. So if I'm in 3rd it's okay to put the clutch in and come to a stop then putting it in either N or 1st ?
Im driving toyota truck, do i really need the downshift? Im just using my break and put into desired gear..
Premature wear on the throwout bearing if ur holding the clutch while breaking...just put it in nuetral and break and put in first after u stop
what if you dont come to a full stop how do you get back into gear?
@@thephantomzoneboxing i blip the throttle and put it in second or if im under 10mph i put it in first on my 03 wrx
@@whoischris28 say you downshift all the way to first and come to a complete stop with the beake can you just realese the brake and get going again or have to depress the clutch?
Great video! I just have a question? When you say"clutch up and give a little gas" how much up on the clutch are you going before the give a little gas? to the biting point? or you know how much you letting off the clutch by the way your personal car feels and how smooth it should feel?
NewYork85 it’s a biting point with the clutch you’ll know if you drive one
Quick question: You said it doesn't make sense to you to downshift for a stop, but what if you're in a situation where you can't really use your brakes like you would normally, like say, if the road is icy or covered in a lot of snow? Isn't downshifting useful for slowing down the car then? I don't mean in place of braking entirely, I'd still pump them to slow down as much as I could without losing control first.
I feel if you are familiar with the areas you should slow down or stop before coming up to your stop and then drive up to the stop vs trying to downshift for the stop. I think in this video I show that near end I say something like that th-cam.com/video/We9r3emgwQ4/w-d-xo.html but yes it is ok in those situations to experiment and know you can use it to your advantage if you feel it helps but I don't think it makes any sense in the rain or dry or even most snow except for changing your driving where you are slowing down way in advance. Also good to check if your car has ABS brakes because most cars do now a days I know older hondas it was always an option even up to 2001.
Thank you. Must keep studying it!
Just curious - so would clutching in all the time before stopping wouldn't this be hard on the clutch?
Could one clutch in put in neutral then one could let off the clutch, while using brake to the stop sign?
Holding the clutch all the way down doesn't burn or cost the clutch anything. So if you hold it down earlier it won't wear away the life of the clutch. It might wear down the spring but it's really negligible. If anything, clutching to neutral then clutching to first will cause you to wear the spring down more (still negligible) since you're going through the motions twice. Maybe over a lifetime, all those extra clutch inputs will add up but I'm not an expert. Either way, you're only engaging the clutch (not the spring) once, which is when you start from 0mph in 1st gear
Is it bad when stepping on clutch halfway when shifting gear ?
I learned a lot of this video. Thank you!
Really useful video 😊 thank you very much 👍
So the reason the car isn't stalling is because you have your foot on the clutch clutch in correct?
Yep
This video is extremely helpful! Can you do a video on expressway driving?
Thank you so much !! So simple and helpful ❤
isn’t he tecnically riding the clutch though? i brake and put mine into neutral and then stop
So when I’m slowing down my speed I don’t need to use my clutch but when I’m slowing down coming into a complete stop I use the clutch?
I drive a semi truck, and when I do clutch brake, then let go of brake and then clutch the truck shakes real bad? Would u know why
This was the most helpful video. Thank you.
9:30 is it okay to downshift while turning your also loosing rpm. i think it makes you save fuel. staying on higher gear while turning makes you press the accelerator much longer to gain the speed for 3rd gear
By the way, when slowing down/stopping, what is the difference between clutch in then brake vs. brake then clutch in???
It depends on the speed your driving in. If you’re slow (second or first gear) and you brake first, your car will most likely stall. If you’re in higher gears (3rd and upwards) you can brake without the clutch, because your speed is faster.
