I just learned on the road. Reminds me of that lady on Family Guy “Ok, I turn here, good luck everybody else” 😂😂 thankfully it took me 20 minutes because it was the same concept as a motorcycle for me.
I drove 3 states away to buy my stick shift mustang ,never drove stick before didn’t even test drive the car ,I purchased it from dealer and learned how to drive it all the way home ,which is nuts cause if I couldn’t figure it out I had NOBODY to come down and help me
I’m about to do something similar but I think mine will ship to my doorstep thankfully lol. How has learning on such a car been? I’m worried a 5.0 or gt350 will be too much car for me to learn manual on.
@@benjaminfrank_ how do you get first gear down I always mess up on it but the other gears are fine also when If im on a hill and I’m scared to take my foot off the gas cause i don’t wanna roll back into a car yk so what do I do I also don’t wanna use the handbrake could you tell me how to take off on a hill when their a car behind you and you don’t wanna roll back also without the handbrake
@@Zen-xv9ti what car do you have ? If you got a 2015 and up mustang then have hill assist , but once you learn 1st gear going up a hill will be easier so start with 1st gear… Slowly let go of clutch while also giving little bit of gas ,as soon as you feel the car start to move hold the clutch in that spot and give it lil more gas and then slowly let go of clutch as car starts to roll ..it takes time just practice ,,and if you have a car with a good engine or tune you can slowly realease the clutch without any gas but a little bit of both is best slowly release the clutch while slowly giving it gas as time passes you’ll get better
"it's muscle memory" SOOOO true. I drove manual for over a decade and now have an auto... when instinctual situations on the road occur I find myself depressing a phantom clutch pedal and reaching for a non-existent stick
You’re totally right about seating position. It is very important. The left leg should not be fully extended when pressing the clutch to the floor. Also the arm should not be full extended when putting the car in 5th (or 7th) gear. Thankfully more cars have telescopic steering columns so it is easier to find a comfortable and effective seating position.

I know people say you're gonna burn out your clutch if you ride... but it's perfectly fine to ride the clutch from a stand still... ride it for a second or 2 while giving a little gas... you'll be fine!
I literally just said to myself when I heard him say that… did he really just say it was a deterrent and he’s hoping this will resolve that??? Is he posting for the owners or the thieves? If my stang goes missing it’s all his fault 😂. Come on dude preview your videos before posting

i went from driving an old beat up gmc that was stick to a 2006 mustang gt and my brother (the previous owner) told me the clutch is gonna be different. so i came to this video just to remind me how to drive stick. (i already know how it’s just been a while and need a reminder)
Good thing about the newer cars you really don’t have to give throttle to pull off. Those older new edges will cut off on you if you come off the clutch too fast
You need to also press the gas when u seitch gears , if you just switch a gear and let the clutch out without giving it gas , car will jump making the ride rough ,
I’ve been thinking about getting a Manual Mustang GT however, I do not know how to drive manual lmao. I figure it’s alright, my pops knows how to. Maybe muscle memory will kick in. Cuz it’s been like maybe a decade and a half since he’s driven a manual. But he says to release the clutch slowly at least halfway. But then I see most ppl release the clutch as quick as they can. Any reason? Don’t know shite about cars, so like has the clutch mechanism changed drastically over the years?
They tell you to release the clutch super slow so you can learn with where the friction point/bite is on the clutch. But no matter the experience you have you’ll always want to let out the clutch relatively slow until you reach the bite. Once you’re up to a no-stall speed you’re good to let off as fast as you want
Yes. But do it swiftly and smoothly for minimum ware. Don’t spend all day in reverse like a grandma, a good 1-2k rev should get you going fast enough to clutch in and back out to neutral during roll back
So is this basically the same thing as it is with a motorcycle? 🧐🧐 seems the same, so I think this could be easy for me since I’m a motorcycle rider I’m trying to get a badass mustang
okay so im a truck driver, and i learned how to drive manual with them, never on a car. my question is, is there any type of floating? or do i have to double clutch?
I'm in the same boat too. I drive a manual rig but I find manual cars confusing. It's the whole adding fuel when letting off the clutch when ur starting from a stop. I also feel like I'll accidentally float gears in a car, which is apparently bad.
I just bought a 2020 ecoboost with 19,000km on it. When I let out the clutch on first gear with out any gas I get a vibration. Does yours do this? Maybe not because you have rev match? I drove a 2005 mustang and I never had this experience.

Basically let the clutch be your buddy anywhere you go…even at a light or sign it will be your new neutral, if your car ever stalls and dies out on accident then take you feet off of everything then put your foot back on the clutch and restart…punch that clutch in so it stops stalling…you need to press the gas while holding that clutch down and then slowly release the clutch as you accelerate. So to time it perfectly just as you hear the engine start to make noise then slowly release the clutch.Then when you hear the engine moderately scream then punch the clutch all the way down and then put in second, when you put it in second casually release the clutch and boom you’re making progress and continue that same process with the rest….but never let the clutch snap up cus the car will jolt and won’t be nice to the clutch…always when you hear the engine yell means you need to switch gears to the next level…also don’t forget to switch back to first gear when you’re stopped cus the car will stall and die out if your trying to accelerate in 2 gear, 3 gear, etc
