This can take a while to really master
Just back to driving a manual after many years.
What I have relearned … let the clutch do its work both accelerating and coming back a cog. Learn how to blip in neutral when coming back a gear to accelerate or when coming back a gear where the road speed dictates you needing more revs in the lower gear.
Other thing I’ve discovered is how few of my fellow drivers make allowances for manual cars in the way the take off from lights … in Australia last year out of nearly a million new cars sold less than 12,000 were manual transmission, the majority of drivers have no manual experience. Automatic cars are far quicker off the mark now than 30 years ago unless you thrash a manual car. I’m also struggling with a gearbox that need to warm up to rake second smoothly …. another tip is to learn how to double clutch going up gears when the gearbox is cold.
Thanks for these videos, they are magic!
These channel is best ever. I have bought a aromatic car year ago and watching hell lot of videos.. but finally i landed in best channel. Great efforts!!
I’ve passed my test in 2018 and been driving since and I still watch your videos 😅
Much appreciated 🙂
Continuous improvement is the name of the game. Proudly passed last year, but I’m aiming for that chauffeur driving experience
Practise and Patience are the keys! No person is perfect.

After coming from years of driving a diesel manual I switched to petrol. Boy did my shifts suffered! Especially shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd! I watched your tacho and you always keep it above 2500 rpm when shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. I being used to diesel engine which has good low end torque shifted gears when tacho hit 1700 to 1800 rpm and the car always juddered! Thanks to you I will try out shifting at higher rpms and see how it goes! I am now used to shifting at half clutch at lower gears and have developed a bad habit!
Torque makes life so much easier! I occasionally drive a manual truck and they are lovely to take off in because they are hard to stall and need so little throttle to launch.
thank you for this video was very helpful
Even though I don’t do manual, I enjoy watching all your videos. I can always find something to learn 😊😊
Thanks for watching 🙂
@@worlddriving is the best 👌🏻
Good to see
Many thanks Sir 🙏🏾
Thanks for watching 👍
This is one the best tip you have given and only an expert driver like you can give like these tips, this is suitable for cars which get drop in rpm, really tested and working , you are amazing trainer
Thanks for your nice comment 🙂
Good 👍🏻
This is pretty much how I have to drive with rev hang in my car. Driving in traffic was stressful when first learning because I was waiting forever for the revs to drop when changing gears
Great video!
Thanks for watching 🙂
going from 30 year old car to a new one i feel like i need to relearn gear sifting. this video really helps me to know what to do and not to do... im not sure with one thing, going downhill i would usually break and change gear to lower one to help with breaking (cant add gas to help with revs), or should i rely more on brakes and less on gear or is it ok for gearbox to catch up with an engine.
great video!!
Thank you!!
Thanks for this excellent post. By how much should the revs be raised if I wish to change from 4th to 2nd? About 2000 rpm? If we end up revving up a little too much what would happen? I am guessing that when we want to change down when a speed bump is coming up, it would be best to hold the clutch at the bite point instead of adding a little gas. Is that right?
I don’t normally rev above 3000rpm as it’s good for fuel economy depending the car and I’m driving a petrol car, I got into a habit of changing gears quite slowly but not to slow including the clutch release slowly otherwise I’ll be wearing out my clutch. This is just takes so much time to get used to the timing. This video is quite interesting and helpful! Thank you Chris!
No problem. Thanks for watching 🙂
@@worlddriving Chris doesn’t it also consume more fuel when you when you get up to speed when you skip gears? For example (change from 3rd to 5th or 2nd to 4th as long you build enough speed) cos I don’t normally skip gears as I normally change from 1,2,3,4 and then 5th. I’ve tried out a new technique today like you did in the video. Is there any tip you could help me with? I’m always trying to save more fuel as my driving style are quite average. I just enjoy driving so much in my whole life as my car consuming more fuel than usual.
Higher gears and lower revs consume less fuel.
@@worlddriving thanks for your answer Chris I appreciate that!
The environment is really beautiful, lots of trees! Where are you from?
This was filmed in Kent.

Great Video. From South Africa. I Always Wondered If I Should Add Gas Before Leaving The Clutch Or Leave The Clutch First And Then Add Gas.
Add gas before fully releasing the clutch if changing down gears is jerky.
@@worlddriving if I move up gears, should i add gas before fully leaving the clutch?
If changing up is jerky then you can press a little gas before changing or release the clutch slowly before adding gas.
You might also want to add gas when changing up if you want to drive faster as shown in the video.
Is it completely off the gas? Some people say off the gas, but they're still applying a tiny bit of pressure.
When I try to go into 3rd it keeps going into 3rd in the golf GTD I'm learning in. It's so frustrating
The thumbnail looks like the meme of the doom guy driving into oncoming traffic lol
That's just the look we wanted 😂😂
7:33 I think 2nd gear at that speed is also quite smooth but maybe it’s just my car
Hey! Yes, you're right. It was a speed suitable for 2nd or 1st but wanted to demonstrate the gear change :)
Uk roads seem like a nightmare, holy molly
0:14 he’d have a smoother drive if he was on the correct side of the road.
I’m so confused, you can switch down to 3rd gear at 60mph and not engine brake?? how??
rev matching i think
same...
Sorry but I really need slower demo steps on this, too fast for me as a real beginner!
Still getting used to which pedal is which and combinations
