it’s nice that in japan if you put the “first year” driver sticker on your car everybody on a hill will stay way back
That's also what we're supposed to do in a lot of other countries, but Japanese people have a culture of respect we don't.
I seriously wish that was a thing here😂 I've come dang close to rolling into people so many times learning
I want one of those stickers for my car
The Wifi Hustler I usually put it in reverse and wait
First time driving a hill and i din't have any problems 🤔
I drive a manual everyday but I love to see how other people drive.
So let's see how you drive pilgrim
You forgot to mention how to money shift
He definitely should have shown us how to do that with demonstration too.
@@bomb9343 with older cars bcs new tech doesn't allow this. You accelerate up to 3rd 4th gear then slam on the 1st and your engine blows up. Costs you money hence moneyshift
Money shifting isn’t a good thing, I don’t know why you would want to learn it. Shifting into a lower gear while rpm’s are already high is everyone’s worst nightmare
My first time driving stick I drove probably an hour each way. We came to a stop on a hill and I stalled a couple time. I saw a line start to form behind me and this one specific car was honking at me endlessly (and yelling obscenities from their window). Eventually the person I was with got tired and hung half his body out the window and flipped them off. At the same time was when I nailed the parking brake trick and went off all smoothly with him halfway out the window giving them the bird. Picture perfect in my mind
Don’t use the parking brake dude,
@@gabrielc2125 Fuck off twat
@@gabrielc2125 you should always use the handbrake on a hill. Otherwise you'll burn your clutch out really fast if your keeping the car steady on the clutch.
@@theCinator if you use the parking brake on a hill in a driving exam in europe(at least in portugal) you automatically fail the exam
@@ContasYT so they specifically want you to wear the clutch out faster?
1st 2 months of learning stick: Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
3rd month: full send!! Fuck it mom will by a new clutch!!
4th month: learn from the 3rd month then drive better then the 1st 2 months
5th month: see 3rd month!!
Seems legit
Spoiled kid
Or just drive...its a car....
Save the manuals! I wish more and more people in the US know how to drive a manual and if they travel, they need to know, its a important life skill and they won't know how really fun it is!! had to learn from youtube

Benny Basilan yesssss
@@luis_mosqueda7190 hale yeah 😂
No special locks needed
Benny Basilan facts
I learn manual for 2months already, kinda still nervous on hill
In the U.K. It's standard to learn manual, I find it difficult driving an auto and keep trying to step on the clutch
Same! 😂😂
Onky issue i had with driving auto was i was left foot breaking and cuz you always slam your foot onto the clutch i was just doing an emergency stop lol. When driving auto forget about your left foot
you mean almost every country its standard
I do that as an american when I'm pulling automatics out of the bay at my job
Yea did that a few times when i drove my father's model 3 for the first time. Super weird when used to a manual
shift up at 2k rpm, shift down when you went less 1k Rpm on current gear. (smooth slow down or stopping at red light)
fully step on the clutch before shifting.
don't release clutch so fast from stop.
don't step on clutch while stepping on brake pedal if not going to emergency fully stop.
feel your car as if its your body...
don't over rev on first gear, cost a lot of fuel, 3k rpm is max.
Hugely helpful thank you
Shift up at 2k? This seems really low.
@@Albatrosspro1 if you are driving for fuel efficiency
mean while my high rev car :
stalls if under 1.5k rpm
casual cruising rpm is at 2.5k
shift up at 3.4k (min) when accelerating
Shifting at 2k is too low needs to be atleast 25
Literally just wait everyday for a notification for a new vid, who else does this xD
This was literally perfect timing. I picked up my first manual today, and while I can do it, I suck at it. I'm excited to put it to use!
Sam Brashears whatd you get bro?
@@noahminajj 2013 Impreza! Not a WRX/STI, but a lot better than what I had before
Sam Brashears Sheesh, still a beautiful car my man I’ve always loved Imprezas. Enjoy it!
How is it going man ?
Just got me a 2012 civic Si 6 speed 3 days ago first manual
Dump the clutch then bla lalalalala
Life hacks my guys👌🏼
You... bastard
I still put my car in neutral when I come into a complete stop or red light
👍🏾
Why not
Same. If I need to shift it back into gear, I do it in one second. Not very hard.
Same lol, it’s a habit
I only learned a week ago and never got told to put it into neutral when stopped at a light
You helped me to stop stalling when learning manual, pushing the clutch back in if it’s about to stall did wonders, I learned in about an hour with a couple stalls
I had my 2012 WRX for 2 months now and I thought shifting in second gear and always getting those little jolts was because I sucked, but now I know. 😂

When I was around 13 I started learning clutch control, and I got used too manual,I turned 15 in June, today my dad told me too moves my mum's car out(its an Automatic), when I tried breaking, I stomped the floor where the clutch was supposed to be...😅😅
WAFFLES THE GAMER same. I stumped my floor when I got on my moms automatic
We all did it at first. Stomped the ground like it was out of fashion on a rental because it was my first ever (and has been since) automatic, even though I had 4 years of driving and God knows how many miles covered. It just happens. Point is not to be put back by it. Habit will come :)

15 Manual Driving Tips in 5 Minutes...in 7 Minutes 😂
Another tip you forgot to mention is dump the clutch while holding the gas down as your turning a corner ;)
FUCK YEAH
Hahahaha. You!
Is this how to drift? I'm just learning manual btw 😆
Manny Wiebe don’t try it till you understand your clutch fully 😂 but that’s just how you break the tires loose
Joseph Roy haha thanks man
I put it in N when coming to a red... If things change I've gotten good and picking the gear that will get me moving
If I was in 4th... I might jump to 2 depending on how much I slowed down etc
Jones 0 will this method save ⛽️??
Freddy Jawgler if u want to save fuel just keep it in the same gear and engine brake approaching the red light and then change down before it stalls
Freddy Jawgler yeah don’t listen to that number dude.
You will use less gas coasting to a stop instead of using your engine to stop.
Using your engine to stop is horrible.
What is cheaper to replace, brake pads? Or a major engine component?
I have experimented with the “leaving in gear use engine method”, no. Just no. It’s not good for anything, and. If you do it wrong. You could accidentally drop it down a gear and give it too much gas.
If you’re coming up on a red light, just put it in neutral and coast, better for engine, clutch, breaks and yes, it uses less gas.
Freddy Jawgler and their point of quicker reaction time.. you can steer in neutral too. There is a 99% chance nothing will happen. And, if you’re going to get rear ended. There probably isn’t much you can do other than brace for impact. Yeah yeah yeah, you could swerve out of the way.
Well, swerve where? in the other lane sue, what if there’s traffic? You could go in the ditch, but will you be able to get out? How deep is it? Will you flip your car because there’s a drop off?
And, if you crash into a ditch because you’re going to get rear ended. Guess what? Your insurance company doesn’t care why you crashed into a ditch, but YOU DID and they won’t pay for your car.
Death By Lego how is using your engine to stop damaging to the engine? In EFI cars all that’s happens is that no fuel is injected and the car slows as a result while saving fuel and reducing wear on the brake pads
You can down stift to first if you drive 4-speed w201 Mercedes . It has hella long gears😂👌

Hard to get parts eh?
@@colemandude unfortunately let it go but yeah it was a pain trying to find parts for it :(
I laughed so hard when you said Forza, cuz I had driven stick in Forza with the sim wheel for years, and just last week I drove a manual for the first time. Drove for 35 minutes, never stalled. Smooth driving, cuz the video game taught me exactly how 🤣🤣🤣
You seriously took a clutch to explain the 7th one AHAHAHAHAHAHAH 😂😂😂😂 Niceone tho
Just bought my first manual few days ago! Decided to get it since my partner and his whole family drives manual. I’ve been terrible at driving so we figured to give manual a try. They feel like it’s helped them understand and control their car, instead of it controlling them. Maybe it’ll help me be confident and understand driving. Still learning, still shifting messy with some stalling, but I’ll get there!
Hahaha homie is baked like a cake

I forget that for many people (mostly in the US I guess) they never drove a manual. Its obvious for people who live in a manual car country but i find your tips interesting nice vid! It lights also help young people before taking driving lessons :)

Juz rhyme I appreciate that! And I feel the same way I love history and cars is apart of that. I’m so happy to learn it, but I just got tboned and they might total my car for less than I bought it for. Hoping they don’t. 😭
Dude same, I'm 23 and just learning. Bought a 2014 Hyundai Accent for mine
23 for me!
SladeB nice! Good luck and stick with it I now don’t want a auto at all. Lol have to buy a new car soon.
When you don't live in America and you were born with manual and you watch how to drive manual you start thinking about your life , then I went and looked up vids about how to drive automatic
This was SOOOO helpful thank you! I just had my first manual driving lesson today and the instructor kept telling me to rest my foot on the clutch but not press it in when driving. It didn’t feel right so I kept trying to just move it to the dead pedal and I honestly felt like it was easier for me.
#14 is very interesting. I have license about a month and I coast in neutral like that on lights.I was told to do that. Bad side of neutral is When there is situation that you do not completely stop on light, it is harder get back into right gear(you should choose right gear for smoothness). But about downshift, sometimes there is no time for downshift. because it's complicated thing and there is no time to smooth down shift from 4 to 3 when you have to stop in 40m. Basically you have to be the avatar master of the all elements to act right :D
Nice video BTW.
previously during my driving lessons I've coasted with the clutch while rolling to a stop while in gear, but I've been doing the neutral coast just automatically recently. it just feels like it makes more sense and I'm able to shift in the gear i want more confidently. My driving instructor doesn't really like it though. Fair enough, no need to baby an instructor car
Learned something new I wasn’t expecting to in this vid! I never thought to use a handbrake on a hill, that’s actually really useful advice
Derek Williams How can you not know that?
@@timbactobros.7279 i wasn't taught that either lol.
16 and I taught myself how to drive manual in my 2019 Toyota 86, and I am still learning new things all the time. I practiced hill starting on a almost always empty road at 10 pm to 2 am everyday. The first day I got the car I stalled at least 4 times on a busy road for more than 3 minutes at a time, and I’d have to turn on my hazard lights until I can get the car moving again. I also stalled multiple times on a hill. My advice is to not be nervous because you will make a lot more mistakes than when you are calm. Hill starting becomes easier overtime, you just got to release your foot to that bite point and the car won’t roll back. You can feel the car engage through the shift knob, clutch and you can see the rpm drop so you can know you’re in the clear to start moving. I’ve had the car for 11 days now and it took me at most 4 to learn everything. Good luck to everyone learning to drive stick. And thank you for not letting standards die out.
This is good advice bro. I got my first manual four days ago, and was having the same problem. Same solution for the hill starts as well. It’s crazy how it’s just getting more natural feeling every day
Just curious, how did you manage to get an 86 at 16?
@@Hzq_ali lol right? and your parents let you stay out driving till 2am? What?

I think your old “how to drive a manual” was the first video of this channel I watched... that or the one about the first mods you should do to your car
"You can't cause that much damage learning how to drive"

I love rocket mode 🚀
To the moooon 🚀
i went out on the road by myself because i was strong and wanted to learn!! aaaaand I burned my brothers clutch in 15 minutes
Ya love to see it
looks like they were smoking first time
No one cares is a good tip. I learned to drive on a manual on my first car and I was driving with my dad. I was on a slight down hill, but nothing too steep. I kept not giving it enough gas and my car was jolting forward and back and I JUST COULD NOT GET IT TO GO FOR THE LIFE OF ME. I LITERALLY HAD TO PUT ON THE EBRAKE, GET OUT AND SWITCH SPOTS WITH MY DAD AND DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME(which was like a quarter mile..) I had a line of cars behind me. It was so embarrassing. But the people behind me understood and were laughing at me and not getting mad. We all gotta start somewhere.
I've been driving manual for 20 years. The other day I drove my girls automatic car. I go to press down on the "clutch" which was her brake pedal and almost got ejected lol.
That's why you only drive automatic with the right foot
Been driving manual since my first car 14 years ago. These are all good tips. 100% agree with the don't shift into first one that's almost never a good experience. But also the don't just ride your brakes in neutral from full speed is also really good since I absolutely destroyed the rotors on my first car doing that. Down shift, doesn't need to be linear, skip gears if you need to, you'll know what speeds the gears function well in and just go from that, when you get to second, just pop it in neutral and let the brakes do the rest of the work.
They're 100% right though, everyone starts out not knowing how to do it. When you stall, just remain calm and put your hazard lights on. I find 98.9% of the time if you put your hazards on people are much more understanding and will usually just go around you without flipping you off. Wait until any cars behind pass, restart your car and try again. Enough time and you'll almost never do it, even when driving a new car.
More people need to drive manual in North America, it's actually getting harder and harder to find manual cars and dealers are carrying less of them on average. When I bought my car recently (a 2019) it was pretty much the only pre owned they had with a manual transmission(VW dealership), and it's just do to a lack of demand according to the sales guy.
@@andhikaimawan6021 Usually when you're getting to the end of where second would start to lug, you're already going slow enough that just your brakes can take you the rest of the way without putting too much friction on them. From second just go to N and use your brakes as you roll. You can shift down into first if you're going into a parking lot or something from a main road, and need to immediately pick up speed again. But really that's about the only time you need to do it. You want to do this because It's just one less "shift" on your transmission. Replacing brake pads is cheaper than transmission work. Like anything you use, the more you use it, the faster its going to wear out. So you want to try and mitigate your shifting as much as possible Know how far you can take a gear before it lugs or over revs and act accordingly. Obviously there will be exceptions, but as a general rule, trying to shift as little as is possible is something to consider. Your wallet, clutch, transmission and your clutching foot will thank you in the long run.
Clutch is not completely go. The car starts moving, but if I release the clutch without adding a little bit of gas to it, the car stalls. (E46 320ci)
Don't forget about the golden rule to not look like a dip shit :nobody cares that your driving stick if you know how to drive a stick it will sound quiet a bit like an automatic when taking off you don't have to rev it five times and continue revving until your off the clutch this will make more sense to you if you live in tennessee where half our old trucks are sticks with no cats and people try to make it known that by god there shitbox ain't a shitbox because it's a five speed
Everyone says to downshift when coming to a stop. I'm new to driving stick, could I just use my brakes (while in a high gear) until I'm under 1000 rpm and then put it in neutral before coming to a complete stop?
Yeah you can its better than being in neutral.But you should really learn to downshift.
Normally you shift down to use the engine brake to safe gas. When you have a little more experience you can estimate how much the engine brakes your car, and you don't need the brake (or only for the last meters).
You also can kick the clutch and brake, or stay in a higher gear and brake. But then you don't safe brakes and gas.
Another plus is, if you are in a lower gear, and you don't need to stop anymore (traffic light goes to green) You only need to hit the gas to go faster again.
For the Subaru. Do you give it a kiss of gas when the clutch is fully released or while it's being released?
I’ve been driving a manual since I’ve been driving. So about 6 years. but I love to watch tips and tricks even though I know so much about it already. Doesn’t hurt to learn a new little thing here and there.
Cruising in neutral is not a bad thing I mean yeah there is assholes in the road but it never did anything bad for me cruising in neutral
It's always funny to me when I see these kind of videos. I'm French and everybody drives stick here. I meen it's not cool here. Every Grandma does it 😅
Ikr? Here in Europe we all learn manual, automatics are the rare ones ahaha
@@joaoaoj100 Yeah true
had my manual car for 3 months before i got the courage to just hop in and get too college on the first day of class 30 minutes away. after the first few stalls i got it and even though i had family help me long before (and i gave up that time and took my test in an automatic) it was your videos that gave me confidence to just get in and do it.
Just got my manual car about two months ago, what drives me nuts is when I inch it forward everyone behind me in their automatics thinks that means it’s time for them to get closer as well when I’m really trying to give myself some roll back room lol
Yes new video first notification squad bois
Just picked up my first manual car the other day and I’m so glad he posted this video
ikr, I just turned the ignition off and watched this
This video is perfect timing because I just bought a 1999 Civic si
Hell yes man you're gonna love it
I bought a base model 1988 Chevy S10 3 days ago.
Half clutch on the hills bro that's how the pros do it😎
I can proudly say my first manual car is a Subaru Impreza Wrx 2009 in Luna Blue, the part talking about not getting a beater car just to learn stick hit home lol I’m glad i didn’t go that route and got something that would motivate me to learn more and know I’ll love what I’m driving, great video!
Canadian Version of TJ hunt & Calvin 😂
I always thought my 2nd gear ⚙️ was bad, but I didn’t know others cars 2nd gear acts jolty too, i will make sure to add more gas on that one in the future
I also owe the guy who i bought it from an apology... cause i kinda cursed him out for selling me a car with a bad transmission, when there was nothing wrong with it this whole time 😅... aw well the Lord will forgive me it’s my first manual.
my birthday is today and i got my permit today and i appreciate this video so much thank you
Phil Butler have fun remember redline dump clutch every light
I learned from forza horizon 😂😂😭
There's no stupid way to learn as long as it works
Travis Ussery same 😂
5:58 lol😂😂
I learned to drive stick when I was 16 but I didn't learn from someone who really knew what he was doing lol. Now I just started driving on a new manual car and I realize my technique is kind of rough around the edges. Mostly the thing about going from 1st to 2nd, I'm actually finding it jolty. I think I can manage it by going super slow and easy (you said give it a kiss of gas), but this sort of made me wonder, clearly there is a way to accelerate quickly in manual cars. (Think racecar drivers.) I'm not out on the racetrack, but when you are trying to go fast, does the shifting then become jolty? Maybe I need to watch more videos.
i just got an 86trd 2019 and i know how to drive a manual just not perfectly. i dont wanna be the guy who gets a nice car and doesnt know fully what theyre doing ya know? ive been on the road doing just fine but i have areas to work on but i get nervous going into first mainly but other than that im good
I usually watch videos like this for enjoyment but for real, this one covers all the mistakes properly...
the only fact that was missed is "When you are at a stop, do not have a gear on and do not hold your car in a hill using your clutch" (Or im just deaf and missed it :/)
But literally the best and most enjoyable video i have watched in a long time, you got a new sub!
Hah, just come to Europe, we all drive stick here, you just feel more connected to the car. Big hello from Ireland BTW
“Some of you guys was telling you..”
What?? 🤣☠️
Dude, #2 for real. Just got a new STI and 2nd is always a rough shift. A little gas helps
A lot of these are things that I already knew, but this is still some really good information for someone who's still learning.
Same here. Bought my first manual last summer. I already knew most of the items, but will remember to not coast in neutral while pulling up at a red light, at least not from a high gear.
For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3: 16
“...Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
Matthew 3: 2
you guys kept me hella motivated to keep driving manual i was lowkey thinking ab giving up 😅
"Forza."
True.
If you want to drive manual and you can afford it I highly recommend the 2015 and higher focus st. I learned driving in one and it was amazing.
I remember when I was little I got stuck on a hill when father was teaching me to drive. The problem was this was a VERY steep hill into a low water crossing after one if the heaviest rains we ever had. If the truck would have hit water we would without a shadow of a doubt, been swept away, this hill was almost 45°. I failed to get in reverse 2 times before my father intervened to safe his truck and our asses. Easily the most stressful situation I've ever been in while driving.
I’m boutta be a new driver on the road and I have been practicing manual in my dad’s 89 f150 and it’s fun. Before I didn’t know to get the truck moving but after practicing I learned how to start going. All I gotta say is keep practicing.
I never thought abt the coasting in neutral to a light until you mentioned it. Will definitely work on breaking that habit since I’m still learning!
Yo Robbie, do you still want your old diffuser? I want to try rigging it up on my legacy. Lmk
16: rev match when downshifting, as will avoid clutch wear and (in more extreme cases) locking up drive wheels and possibly losing control (I've seen this happen in cars with an aggressive clutch).
The mark of a good manual driver is the one who shifts the least. If I'm cruising around town in fourth and I see a red light up ahead I'll just ease off the gas and take it almost down to idle RPM before I downshift to 2nd and if the light turns green before I have to downshift I'll just baby the gas and get it back up to 2-2.5k where its happy. I'll attest to the fact you should just get the car you actually want to own instead of a beater because then you'll be much more inclined to be as nice to it as possible.
I literally learned how to drive stick on a test drive, which I ended up buying the car. It was a 2013 Chevy Camaro SS.
Now I have a 2019 Honda civic sport which is also stick. My opinion there is a huge difference is driving the two. With the civic, when I downshift I really don't have to Rev match.
Regardless learning stick is like learning how to ride a bike, the more you practice the better you get
This was a really good video...I’m a very experienced manual trans driver and even I picked up a couple things...good stuff boys keep up the good content
Bro I just got a V8 Mustang CAMMED and is so hard to not stall it. I hope one day I’m good enough to do it with just muscle memory. Will be back to this comment when I’m good at it…
I’m getting my first manual car. So you say to downshift before up shifting? So like going from 2 to 3 you drop to 1 first?
I’m learning right now and I have to constantly remind myself when I am driving on the main roads that people don’t really care. I’ve had a few slip ups and no ones honked yet 😂
Huge tip for beginners if your car vibrates when starting, either A give a small amount of gas or b push the clutch back in and try again. You will never stall again, seriously.
Can someone explain to me what they mean by Dont shift into first gear at a redlight? Like what gear do you shift into to stop? Not trying to make fun of anyone just trying to learn.
You keep second gear with the clutch pressed until you stop completely, then you put it in first while you're stopped so you can then get moving again
@@Frrarii Ohh ok that makes sense, thank you
You don't shift into any gear to stop. Just press the clutch, then the brake and then shift into the first gear ONLY when you have completely stopped and then lift the clutch just a little when you gotta go or let it on neutral while you are stopped(but don't forget to take the foot off the clutch and press the brake pedal if there is downhill).
I hope you get it... my english is not quite as good as a native english speaker
just got my first manual, ive driven a manual before but ive only got like 30 minutes of experience. super excited to have more control of my car
Well fuck. I saw one of your older videos on how to drive a manual cause I just got my first car (MK4 Jetta GLI) and I tried to rev match going from second to first and the car really did not like that. Idk if I dis something wrong or what but I'm kinda scared to try it again.
Thank you for the great info, my parents taught me to not downshift when slowing to a light and coasting in neutral... now I don’t feel as bad when driving now!
robbie you almost at 150k subs
Love these videos I had my dad teach me on a dirt road and I can drive good but my only thing now is someone ridding my butt a hill
You should have said because it helped me my dad told me to turn on your hazards and let them go by if they are to close (helps them go around on hills ) and to forget the rear view mirror to stay calmer
I just bought a beautiful lux vw and at purchase did not notice it was going to be stick shift😂😂😂 and I can’t currently drive. But the guy said if I don’t learn I have 30 days to give it back but I don’t want to so I’m attempting to learn. My bf uncle said everyone has to learn one day so I’m like🫣🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ (just mixed emotions 😂)
◾️Rev to up shift?? Never!!
◾️Resting your hand on the shift lever (not pulling on it) hurts the transmission.
◾️Down shifting to slow down is harder on the transmission. Coasting in neutral wears the brakes - brakes are cheaper than the transmission.
You are close but your info needs a little tweaking. Good luck !!
the hardest part of driving stick is finding a car to practice in without buying the car I want without knowing how to drive

Congratulations, you revmatched
I'm British, and most cars in the UK are manual (or stick, as Americans call it). I'm watching this as I was interested to see if theres anything I can do to improve my drive.
The tip about no-one caring you're on the road is super true and great for learners. If you're really nervous about getting in peoples way, do what I did: take a night-time drive when the roads have no-one on them. It improved my confidence and road knowledge with none of the stress associated with being around other drivers.
Question when I’m on a hill I usually hold the break in then let the clutch half way out then let go of the break then I move forward is that bad or no
K one thing that actually bugs me rn about my car is I got a 3.91 auto diff in my e36 and fucking 1st is basically useless & I know ppl go right into second instead of first because first is so short. The diff ratio is praised by drifters but regular driving & I’m barely going 15km/h @ 3500rpm. I’m lucky to break like 40 I think at red line but I haven’t been beating on her yet as I’m still getting the hang of things.
