try stalling a semi in traffic while learning. when I went to CDL school I never drove a manual, then learned driving a semi and 10 speed at the same time.
Bro holy shit when the ebrake was on i started crying of laughter. and when he stalled at the stop sign and started heavily breathing I felt that shit. Goated video
this guy has 0 shame and I absolutely respect that.If there is one thing to remember when you first start to drive manual is that if you are in doubt you just floor it .The worst that could happen is you spin the wheel wich is much better than stalling lol.Dont be hesitant,just go for it.
That’s what I did lmao. Left turn at a stoplight with a slight hill, I stalled it once and there was hella traffic behind me. Start the car back up hit 4k and dropped the clutch and entered a parking lot to catch my breath 😂 (this was in my dad’s 2000 si)
I spun the rear wheels on mine on a particularly wet day and now I hear a slight grinding noise when cornering on one side. Didn't hit anything and it still feels the same, but still.
"Floor it" is especially true when starting uphill. Smash the gas and pop the clutch if you have to, just don't roll back into that X5 that pulled up _way_ too close.
This video is hilarious, no make of car in title, the heavy breathing as you continuously stall, the rattles and creaks of this piece of shit car. Actual art. Edit: This comment gained some traction so heres a few things to help the OP or anyone learning manual: 1) Get someone who knows manual to take the car on a little test drive, if theres something wrong with the clutch or any other issues you might not realise as you don't know what "right" feels like. 2) Watch English Driving Instructors as we all learn manual over here so they know how to teach it more effectively than a lot of the American vids I've seen - I highly recommend "Conquer Driving" 3) If you do stall just leave it in first and push the clutch down and restart the engine, no need to go into neutral. 4) Just practice on a car park (parking lot) setting off and moving. Don't be afraid to ride the clutch a bit, it's not gonna do any damage if you're at a reasonable RPM, it's what the clutch is designed to do! 5) Don't try to set off quick at junctions (intersections), stop signs etc. Just take it easy and go slowly, if you try to go quickly at the beginning you're way more likely to stall. Good luck!
@@skorpius2029 Even worse when I was first learning I stalled at a red light and the car wouldn't turn back on. Had to push the car onto the sidewalk by myself in 95 degree weather with people honking at me the whole time 😭
omg, you had to learn stick with your dad in the passenger seat? I would’ve had an aneurysm 😂.. I just learned in an empty parking lot with my brother. I couldn’t imagine the stress with my father
I remember on my 3rd day of learning 😭 It was a left turn, the light was green, and I was super nervous that I stalled 🤦♂️ it was uphill so the car was rolling back and 10 cars right behind me were honking simultaneously, so I stalled 4-5x due to frustration. That was the same day I decided to get my windows tinted because at the next light, I had ppl staring at me with a rude face
Glad to see people still learning stick. It will be second nature soon. People wont like you stalling now, but in a few months you can flex on them with some heel toe down shifts. Also to add on to what others have said: You can feel where the Clutch engages and disengages by slowly pushing the clutch in and out. The car can be off to get the feel for it aswell. The peddle should get a little stiffer/heavier when the clutch is engaging. Also make sure your pushing the clutch all the way in when disengaging. But dont let other drivers discourage you. Learning another way to drive will make you a better driver overall. Keep it up.
Stuck?? you mean manual?? Never gotten why you Americans call manual "stick" lol basically every car has a "stick" that changes gears, auto or manual. My grandma in her 1996 accord automatic has a "stick" because it.. ready.... has a "stick" that changes "gears"
BRO THIS SHIT WAS SO FUNNY BECAUSE IT WAS SO RELATEABLE LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO keep up the good work man, if it makes you feel better, i was constantly stalling at redlights and running stops because of i was scared of stalling. Youre doing god's honest work
@@magicream4806 man dont let some dude named sizarr boss you around laugh however hard u want to 😭he the weirdo for laughstalking and being on your tip
Crying of laughter. This was me driving my mom’s 2002 Ford Focus wagon for the first time after getting my license. I managed to stall it close to 10 times at one intersection. Then I got even more nervous and kept trying to drive off with the handbrake still engaged. I was praying for no further stop signs or red lights on my way home. Hearing your labored breathing put me right back in the driver’s seat that day. I had many cars behind me and saw a bicycle approaching from the right. I decided right there sorry, not gonna yield to you today, my guy! And so I went from creeping in second gear to going full throttle in fourth. Not sure how many kph I was over the speed limit there, but I figured it would be better than hitting the bike or risking another stall and having the cars behind crash into me. Bottom line: Don’t get embarrassed. Learning manual is an essential skill and you chose a great car for it. The older Hondas are indestructible. In a few weeks, finding the bite point on the clutch and shifting smoothly will become second nature and you’ll be so grateful you stuck with it.
@@sonny926 well you're both right but beginners always do one or the other. either dont let the clutch out and rev it to the moon or let the clutch out too fast and forget to rev it at all

i'd still make sure it's in 1st gear, when I was learning I was stuck at a traffic light for like 5 mins with my mum because neither of us realised i was still in 3rd
Man I was in your shoes not too long ago, went almost 3 hours and bought a manual Honda prelude 1992 and the engine started knocking when I got 30 minutes away from home. Definitely just keep practicing because it becomes second nature. I paid almost the same amount you did for your accord, I will say in restoring it make sure you go for function before cosmetics!!! Fix that exhaust out the hood and any mechanical issues, maybe head to the junkyard because tan interiors are common for that generation and get the small things. Most of all have fun with it!!! In the process of fixing my car still honestly 😅 looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
I'm jealous that you have the BA8 trim of the 4th gen Prelude with no ABS. I still have my 92 Prelude that I bought as my first car for nearly 11 years now.
i paid 1200 for my first honda but the guy was super nice and did a bunch of work on it. gave me a hell of a deal. new cv, suspension bushings and bearings, new brakes and cylinders. i still have that car and it still runs great. was a good first manual to learn on
In the England, you have to get either a manual or automatic liscense, although no one over learns on an automatic and will do the manual test. It seems the US has wayy more automatics in general - seems like a shame to me tbh. Glad to see your'e learning and keeping it going, a much more fun way to drive!!
one reason is we have alot of ground to cover day to day makes more sense to have an auto when youre driving farther than the next town over for work or food, in smaller places i can imagine every km you drive would matter
@@legend131000 I agree, my manual doesn't bother me in the highway, somedays i wish i had an automatic for driving through the crowded small streets in the city lol
@@SyncF As somebody that's been driving for 6 years now, (I'm still rather young), and I enjoy driving alot, especially since I drive an old but fun car, a manual is absolutely a must have for me for any form of "fun" factor, I've driven quite a few cars up till this point, and at least to me, the auto is just mindnumbingly boring, because people say it's better for city traffic and commuting to work, sure that I agree with, but still would rather drive a manual, because driving an automatic make commuting to work feel more like a chore, while driving a manual even in traffic just to work, makes it at least a tad bit more exciting and lifts my mood personally.
My hat goes off to you bro for doing this and pushing on, but I have to say I had tears running down my face from laughter. From that vicious gear changing, to the ebrake
omg this had me dying bro anyone whos learned manual by themselves especially has been here it brought back so many good memories. keep practicing and watch as many videos as you can and youll be double clutchin like you should in no time lmao props for posting this man
I dont think I ever laughed so hard in 5 mins. Takes me back to learning how to drive my grandpas stick shift and him grilling my shit every minute😭😭😭😭 Good stuff tho keep it up💀
Aye my man. I got the same car. Purchased mine for $1600 at 189k miles with a stick too. They are great cars and super fun as well. I drive mine all the time and racked up 25k miles on it, nearly stress-free. It never left me stranded and I had to only replace wear items (clutch and timing belt) during my ownership Unsure if this is your first car or whatnot, but if you fix her up you'll definitely love it over time. They truly are underrated cars. P.S. I would prioritize getting that power steering fixed, the power steering is super nice on these cars.
Facts I learned manual in a 02 accord. Super fun cars mine had 238k when I bought and sold at 249k. Probably only stalled it 3 times total when learning manual. And how it locks out first gear after pretty much moving really helps.
Proud of you for posting this. Gave me a good reminder of the scares I had when i was first learning 😂 you can only get better with practice, so have confidence and dont be afraid to stall
Loved this video buddy, I know exactly how you feel. Learned in a Vauxhall Corsa shit box from 2003. There's nothing more rewarding than when it finally clicks. Manuals are so much more rewarding to drive and they all have personality. Best of luck to you man
This was such a stressful video to watch but this is amazing man, learning steps to look back into, i had the same combo on my shitbox miata, no power steering and little experience with manual.
Dude this video is great, I love it. Really sums up the learning manual experience. Don't worry man you'll get there!! It'll just click at one point and then you'll be cruisin!
ngl as european who never drove an automatic I was nervous just watching this 😭😭 Must be even harder not having someone to properly explain everything.. good luck on learning :D little trick.. when ur parking put it in 1st instead of neutral and you dont have to use e-brake (when the engine is already off) just dont forget to put it in neutral when ur starting the car.. its also good in winter when the e-brake can freeze easily ....But when ur parking on a hill use also the e-brake :)
1:30 tbh is a good car to learn manual, if you will be able to drive that think good in the future you will have a easier time with everything that is in a better condition
This brought me back to my driving lessons, where I live 90%+ of the cars are manual, and so was the one I was learning with, I couldn't keep the car from dying if my life depended on it! But it gets way better overtime, I love manual cars
reminds me of me when i had to actually drive my also powerless steering Toyota tercel with manual back in 2021 nowdays i still drive that thing but it has become second habit by now
A few things to try and help you on your journey: 1) Get someone who knows manual to take the car on a little test drive, if theres something wrong with the clutch or any other issues you might not realise as you don't know what "right" feels like. 2) Watch English Driving Instructors as we all learn manual over here so they know how to teach it more effectively than a lot of the American vids I've seen - I highly recommend "Conquer Driving" 3) If you do stall just leave it in first and push the clutch down and restart the engine, no need to go into neutral. 4) Just practice on a car park (parking lot) setting off and moving.

Good luck!
Had me laughing the whole way through because it reminded me of when I was learning, absolutely tweaking on the stick and stalling at every turn. Best video ever
Honestly, thanks for posting and good for you, bro. Great content to show anyone learning to drive stick. Now I can show my wife and point out the fact that you don’t yell out in frustration at any point. Keep at it. If you take it this well now, you’ll likely enjoy it once you get the hang of it!
I was in your same shoes man.... i noticed your moving to fast with it and you may be taking things to fast. go to a parking lot and just super slowing disingange the clutch. its a honda so it'll be fine, but get used to where that engagement point is and spend some time in parking lots.
Way more calm and youll handle it. From my point of view you keep yanking the clutch up way to fast. Theres no rush, take your time. The car also seems to be on its last few legs. learning manual on a worn clutch sure makes it a lot more difficult.
Props to you for showing yourself learning, everyone has to go through this stage. Easiest way to learn the clutch is to sit in an empty parking lot and left it out as slow as you can til you hear the engine start to bog, the hold for a sec. Try and remember that spot. Do this a few times in a row and try to do it a little faster. Once you have a good feel on where that is, get to that point and start letting it out slow again, eventually the car will start to creep. Push the clutch in once you just barley start rolling and repeat like you did for step one. This will help you learn where your bite point is and where to start pushing the gas pedal.
@@Lucasfazzini tbh can't even hate then... My first hours of driving were almost exactly like your video, except where i live manual is the norm. I had to learn with a broken starter motor, bad clutch master cylinder and broken power steering, i do not wish this pain to anyone lol... But i guess these things make you learn better on the long run...
@@Lucasfazzini yeah, it's hard to say especially who you buy it from and where as well. I bought both of mine for 3k, auto and manual version. One is way nicer than the other, but both run really good. Now looking at the price of these things I'm seeing them blue book over 4k with 200k miles. Both of mine are still just under 200k.
Bro I'm going through this with you !! Just got my first manual 3 weeks ago and can't deny I've done just about everything you've done in this video lmaoo. Keep at it though man got to say though the more I drove the better i got
Huge props for uploading your driving while still learning. I recently got my first manual as well, though I had prior experience on motorcycles so the process overall made sense to me. Keep up the practice, though maybe keep it in parking lots until you get a good feel for getting going from a stop. Good luck!
I had a good laugh remembering how to drive manual 😂, I stalled out in front of a busy intersection not fun. You’ll get better in time bro and have fun with you car. 🚗💨
A lot braver than me when I started! What I did, I went to an empty parking lot and when I got 10 starts no stalls in row without fail, I told myself that would be enough practice for me to take it home. Took about 100 tries to get it 10 times in a row without failure, and I remember the feeling of "was this a mistake?" But I pushed through those feelings, and I am sure glad I did. I been in that same car ever since; a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek that I picked up back in 2019. Watching this video definitely brought me back to those days of learning and the feeling of embarrassment when say drivers are behind you and you stall. Push through, and one day manual driving will become second nature to you, and it will come naturally. You will actually start to seek other opportunities to drive other manual cars, just to experience something new/different.

@@redlight3932 To be fair, driving on the highway be it in an auto or a manual isn't very different.
@@legend131000 I agree, my manual doesn't bother me in the highway, somedays i wish i had an automatic for driving through the crowded small streets in the city lol
@@SyncF As somebody that's been driving for 6 years now, (I'm still rather young), and I enjoy driving alot, especially since I drive an old but fun car, a manual is absolutely a must have for me for any form of "fun" factor, I've driven quite a few cars up till this point, and at least to me, the auto is just mindnumbingly boring, because people say it's better for city traffic and commuting to work, sure that I agree with, but still would rather drive a manual, because driving an automatic make commuting to work feel more like a chore, while driving a manual even in traffic just to work, makes it at least a tad bit more exciting and lifts my mood personally.
My hat goes off to you bro for doing this and pushing on, but I have to say I had tears running down my face from laughter. From that vicious gear changing, to the ebrake
god damn this video is going to become legendary
why are your power windows immaculate and the rest of the car is made out of recycled tuna cans
feels like I was just learning manual exactly like this almost a decade ago... good times
omg this had me dying bro anyone whos learned manual by themselves especially has been here it brought back so many good memories. keep practicing and watch as many videos as you can and youll be double clutchin like you should in no time lmao props for posting this man
Here before this blows up, god damn what a masterpiece of a video, the heavy breathing, the stalling the rattling and creaking of that car
bro he was driving so nervously lmfao
I’m gonna buy a second car to learn stick so watching this makes me feel better lol. Awesome vid man.
awesome dude glad to hear it. thats exactly what i did
I dont think I ever laughed so hard in 5 mins. Takes me back to learning how to drive my grandpas stick shift and him grilling my shit every minute😭😭😭😭
Good stuff tho keep it up💀
I can feel the embarrassment; but love the fact that you start somewhere , motivational
I drove exactly like this when I first learned to drive my manual civic lol, you’ll definitely get the hang of it soon.
Aye my man. I got the same car. Purchased mine for $1600 at 189k miles with a stick too. They are great cars and super fun as well. I drive mine all the time and racked up 25k miles on it, nearly stress-free. It never left me stranded and I had to only replace wear items (clutch and timing belt) during my ownership
Unsure if this is your first car or whatnot, but if you fix her up you'll definitely love it over time. They truly are underrated cars.
P.S. I would prioritize getting that power steering fixed, the power steering is super nice on these cars.
Facts I learned manual in a 02 accord. Super fun cars mine had 238k when I bought and sold at 249k. Probably only stalled it 3 times total when learning manual. And how it locks out first gear after pretty much moving really helps.
Proud of you for posting this. Gave me a good reminder of the scares I had when i was first learning 😂 you can only get better with practice, so have confidence and dont be afraid to stall
Loved this video buddy, I know exactly how you feel. Learned in a Vauxhall Corsa shit box from 2003. There's nothing more rewarding than when it finally clicks. Manuals are so much more rewarding to drive and they all have personality. Best of luck to you man
the exaggerated mirror/spot checking and nervous breathing is killing me for no reason 😭🤣
this is what it feels like to drive in a stress dream.
These are the cars you think back to fondly.
This is one of the greatest videos i've ever seen. Thank you for posting this. Reminded me of how much abuse my first manual took lmao
I cannot believe you coughed up 1400 for that thing, my condolences
greatest video of all time
this is genuinely the most entertaining thing I have seen in awhile I am dying at this
This was such a stressful video to watch but this is amazing man, learning steps to look back into, i had the same combo on my shitbox miata, no power steering and little experience with manual.
Dont worry bro, i learned to drive manual in a non powered steering manual suzuki lol,
FLOOR IT MAN I BEEN WAITING TO HEAR THAT RASPY BEAUTY
Just look up “Trumpet solo” and you’ll hear it
😂😂
Now THAT is what a true shitbox it bravo bro AND learnin is CRAZY. Dem noises got me crying the fartcan exhaust, shii sound like a whoopie cushion 💀💀😭
Dude this video is great, I love it. Really sums up the learning manual experience. Don't worry man you'll get there!! It'll just click at one point and then you'll be cruisin!
ngl as european who never drove an automatic I was nervous just watching this 😭😭 Must be even harder not having someone to properly explain everything.. good luck on learning :D
little trick.. when ur parking put it in 1st instead of neutral and you dont have to use e-brake (when the engine is already off) just dont forget to put it in neutral when ur starting the car.. its also good in winter when the e-brake can freeze easily ....But when ur parking on a hill use also the e-brake :)
1:30 tbh is a good car to learn manual, if you will be able to drive that think good in the future you will have a easier time with everything that is in a better condition
Very true
This brought me back to my driving lessons, where I live 90%+ of the cars are manual, and so was the one I was learning with, I couldn't keep the car from dying if my life depended on it! But it gets way better overtime, I love manual cars
i really like these type of pov manual driving manuals, i felt like i am really driving the car when watching. you should really do more of these vids
reminds me of me when i had to actually drive my also powerless steering Toyota tercel with manual back in 2021 nowdays i still drive that thing but it has become second habit by now
A few things to try and help you on your journey:
1) Get someone who knows manual to take the car on a little test drive, if theres something wrong with the clutch or any other issues you might not realise as you don't know what "right" feels like.
2) Watch English Driving Instructors as we all learn manual over here so they know how to teach it more effectively than a lot of the American vids I've seen - I highly recommend "Conquer Driving"
3) If you do stall just leave it in first and push the clutch down and restart the engine, no need to go into neutral.
4) Just practice on a car park (parking lot) setting off and moving. Don't be afraid to ride the clutch a bit, it's not gonna do any damage if you're at a reasonable RPM, it's what the clutch is designed to do!
5) Don't try to set off quick at junctions (intersections), stop signs etc. Just take it easy and go slowly, if you try to go quickly at the beginning you're way more likely to stall.
Good luck!
amazing reply and detailed information! thanks
Conquer driving a real one fr fr
Had me laughing the whole way through because it reminded me of when I was learning, absolutely tweaking on the stick and stalling at every turn. Best video ever
Thumbs up at the end was happy he didnt die lol
Honestly, thanks for posting and good for you, bro. Great content to show anyone learning to drive stick. Now I can show my wife and point out the fact that you don’t yell out in frustration at any point.
Keep at it. If you take it this well now, you’ll likely enjoy it once you get the hang of it!
we all started somewhere bro its alright! what did u use to record this?
Just my phone with a jerry rig POV set up. Fold a piece of paper over the phone and bite it with your mouth
i still be stalling at light cause i get distracted. your doing good bro
bro this video had me wheezing the whole time, good shit bro keep it up, that's how you learn lets go dawg
I was in your same shoes man.... i noticed your moving to fast with it and you may be taking things to fast. go to a parking lot and just super slowing disingange the clutch. its a honda so it'll be fine, but get used to where that engagement point is and spend some time in parking lots.
Way more calm and youll handle it. From my point of view you keep yanking the clutch up way to fast. Theres no rush, take your time. The car also seems to be on its last few legs. learning manual on a worn clutch sure makes it a lot more difficult.
Thanks, yeah I was in the bad habit of dumping the clutch
Props to you for showing yourself learning, everyone has to go through this stage. Easiest way to learn the clutch is to sit in an empty parking lot and left it out as slow as you can til you hear the engine start to bog, the hold for a sec. Try and remember that spot. Do this a few times in a row and try to do it a little faster. Once you have a good feel on where that is, get to that point and start letting it out slow again, eventually the car will start to creep. Push the clutch in once you just barley start rolling and repeat like you did for step one. This will help you learn where your bite point is and where to start pushing the gas pedal.
I admire you sharing this, definitely a struggle at first but with time!
It's sad to see a honda in a bad condition
they never break down😢
Paid 1400 bucks for it, now that it’s in my possession I plan on fixing it up! 👍
That's the beauty of Honda
@@Lucasfazzini The don't make manual Accords anymore you're a lucky dude!
I'm curious: how long have you been driving manual for?
@@gio0042 when this video was made. Never
@@Lucasfazzini tbh can't even hate then... My first hours of driving were almost exactly like your video, except where i live manual is the norm. I had to learn with a broken starter motor, bad clutch master cylinder and broken power steering, i do not wish this pain to anyone lol... But i guess these things make you learn better on the long run...
@@gio0042Too much text
@@sillonelmasxd wat
Absolutely beautiful video. Amen to the algorithm for blessing me with this one.
dude 1400 for that is crazy. something like that has to be less than 1k
not in todays used car market lol.
Yeah good deal In my opinion. If the car didn’t run then I would agree with you. But it starts first try every time
@@Lucasfazzini fair point. honda is honda. plus manual driving lessons are pretty expensive so this is probably worth it
@@Lucasfazzini yeah, it's hard to say especially who you buy it from and where as well. I bought both of mine for 3k, auto and manual version. One is way nicer than the other, but both run really good. Now looking at the price of these things I'm seeing them blue book over 4k with 200k miles. Both of mine are still just under 200k.
@@Lucasfazzini Starter sounds a little weak, I'd check to make sure the distributer isn't leaking oil onto it, that's what took mine out.
Bro I'm going through this with you !! Just got my first manual 3 weeks ago and can't deny I've done just about everything you've done in this video lmaoo. Keep at it though man got to say though the more I drove the better i got
This video brought back a lot of good memories. Keep practicing !
Huge props for uploading your driving while still learning. I recently got my first manual as well, though I had prior experience on motorcycles so the process overall made sense to me. Keep up the practice, though maybe keep it in parking lots until you get a good feel for getting going from a stop. Good luck!
The way this video is so real is what makes me love this 😂
Just shows how bad we all were tryna learn manual at some
Point 😂
*This video reminds me of me when i was learning manual on a Daewoo matiz, Keep it up bro* 🔝
I havent laughed this hard in a while 😂, saving this vid to my favorites. Brought me back to my young days learning stick on a 94 Integra.
@@ssboost haha I’m glad to hear it
I had a good laugh remembering how to drive manual 😂, I stalled out in front of a busy intersection not fun. You’ll get better in time bro and have fun with you car.
🚗💨
We need more of these videos they are amazing not just from this channel but everywhere its so relatable
A lot braver than me when I started! What I did, I went to an empty parking lot and when I got 10 starts no stalls in row without fail, I told myself that would be enough practice for me to take it home. Took about 100 tries to get it 10 times in a row without failure, and I remember the feeling of "was this a mistake?" But I pushed through those feelings, and I am sure glad I did. I been in that same car ever since; a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek that I picked up back in 2019. Watching this video definitely brought me back to those days of learning and the feeling of embarrassment when say drivers are behind you and you stall. Push through, and one day manual driving will become second nature to you, and it will come naturally. You will actually start to seek other opportunities to drive other manual cars, just to experience something new/different.
Respect for posting this with no cuts or edits.
I really enjoyed the ride with you, sir!
I don't know why but you made my day dude HAHAHAHAHAH. The chaotic energy 😂😂😂
You never wanna be learning stick on a loud car lol, then everyone can also hear you mess up. Man I don’t miss this stage of driving hahaha
