This video is in Canada

want to give it a bit of gas before getting to bite point and hold the gas. Otherwise will stutter and lug. It’s recommended to stay in a gear unless you’re coming to a full stop.

Skillful drivers can multitask and will not be distracted by footwork and steering while focusing on the environment around them.

there is camera on stick so you can see which gear he is on

try bleeding it and check the fluid level in the clutch fluid resovoir

why would it be

​@@DriveManual You're literally telling people they should bump their car with another one when they could just push it. I mean, I could even start my own car by pushing it and hopping inside if I'm on flat ground. Why should I destroy my rear bumper (and my friend's front)?

Yes because it is a common method just like pushing and jumping in .... which I made a video on as well. You do not have to destroy your bumper....but it is an option for others who are not worried about it. You ever tow a car with a rope? Every sprint car gets push started by another vehicle by the way.

​@@DriveManual mmh ok, yeah, it's just a technique you're right

Watching the traffic was kinda infuriating. The dude in front of him was just straight up: "let's stop in the middle of the road. putting my hazards on clearly makes it ok for me to impede traffic."

No he wasn’t in gear he did little break push the clutch and change it to no gear in the middle

you absolutely can do this! As long as your rpms don’t go too low you will be fine. The way i do it is by breaking until it goes to around 1.2k rpm and then i press the clutch throw it in neutral and then normal slow down from there

Not only you can do this, you should do this. You use the clutch while breaking only if you want to stop or you're going low rpm. You'll understand those things with experience btw, don't worry

@@darthwater999 yes exactly, another thing i love about manual is that it is extremely easy to slow down if the speed limit decreases. Instead of hoping the auto will slow down enough just to have it not do that and then i have to use the breaks, i simply downshift.

why wouldnt it be possible. As long as you dont go into the stall area or undertouring area you can break while in gear

KPH

This is Canada so it's kph not mph

That's a legend

Yep. That's something my dad engrained in both my brother and I when he was teaching us to drive M/T.

exactly im learning manual and this got me so confused why bro keeps holding the clutch in gears like go in neutral dawg 💀

@@PotentialGaming the wear is minimal and it's not really a problem holding the clutch at a light stop

@@darthwater999Maybe here and there but hes doing it all the time its pointless and he’s doing it repeatedly in stop and gos.

You would usually only have to tap the clutch like that with a light weight flywheel or aggressive clutch disk. On a stock manual commuter you shouldn't ever have to do that.

@@HaxNoticelots of people do it bc it’s easier to constantly get a certain rpm. Plus it’s a bit smoother in certain cars

apart from what the other people said pushing it to give it a bit of revs then back to steady throttle can help if ur trying to move off fast but not necessary

Thank you so much JP that is so cool you got an eg they are so hard to get ! I hope I can show you my car It's been sitting 15 years so its a mess but im working on it hehe😊

But like it’s fun thooooo

@@boybotjr1905 so far I havent had fun to be fair. All my homies also tell me how much fun they are having but its just so stressful all the time I cant really enjoy doing it.

​@@Luis_1605 it is easy, but it requires a lot of practice. I drive Hilux manual have hard clutch but no problem for me. Manual cars are easy.

@@user-vv6yw4yg6r I hope you are right. I'd love it to be easy but I guess I'll see inm the future if I get the hang of it.

​@@Luis_1605there are some advices I could give you (that I wish someone told me when I was learning. For me it was also a bit different story, because I live in Europe and I haven't driven any autiamtic car yet, so I had to learn manual and driving at all at the same time). So the first thing about moving from a stop is to add a little bit of gas. Even before you start releasing the clutch. Let's say up to something between 1800-1500 rpm (if it's a petrol car. For diesel it can be even lower. The reason for that is that the stall is mainly due to a lack of a power. The engine doesn't have enough force to pull the car. Higher rpms means more power, so it's much easier for the engine and you don't need to be so precise). Hold the gas, and then start slowly releasing the clutch. When you reach the moment the car starts moving, hold the clutch pedal in place. Just for one, maybe two seconds. Then you can release the clutch completely (but not too fast. But it also doesn't need to be really slow. Just keep it smooth and it's gonna be fine. Don't forget to hold the gas pedal pressed a bit for all this time. Maybe I will also shortly explain how does the clutch work in a manual transmission. I think understanding it helps you to drive a car, because you know the reason for actions you perform. So the point of using the clutch is to adjust rotating speeds of engine output and transmission input (to keep it simple, let's just name it engine and wheels for transmission, because it's connected with wheels). So when the car is standing, the rpm of wheels is 0. Because they aren't rotating at all. But an idling engine usually has something between 600 - 800 rpm. So we have a significant difference. And your goal is to get rid of this difference. So you need to make both engine and wheels rotating with the same speeds. If you release the clutch too quickly, rpms of the engine will reduce, and rpms of wheels will increase. Wheels have 0 energy, and engine has a bit. When they get connected, now the same amount of energy now is applied to two components, so they can't rotate as fast as only one of them used to. The problem is, that the engine can't run on lower rpms than it already does. If rpms drop too much, the engine is overloaded and just can't keep working. That's what a stall is. That's where the gas pedal comes with a help. If you rev up your engine, the rpms will go higher. For example up to 2000. Now when you release clutch, you have more energy to be sent to accelerate wheels. So rpms of the engine won't drop to the point when they are too low. Of course, adding a lot of gas is not the way to go. You won't stall the car this way, but you will damage some day your clutch, engine, transmission and other components. And your car will just start like a rocket. But 1800-2500 rpms is the way to go. And why should you hold the clutch pedal "in half" for a moment while moving your car from the stop? Just to give the clutch a time to adjust rotating speeds. The more time you give it, the smoother entire process will be. It's also extremely important to not let rpms go below some values while moving (let's say 1000). If they do, you need to press the clutch in order to disconnect the engine from the transmission. Also if you are moving slowly on the first gear, the best practice is to accelerate a bit, and press the clutch. Hold it, when you slow down too much and want to keep moving, do this like you were moving from a stop. The reason is the 1st gear is extremely low compared to any other, so even small amount of moving speed means a significant difference in revs. And you just don't want to let adjust too much revs in too short amount of time. The clutch pedal basically is used to adjust revs of the engine and revs of wheels. Just look at it that way. You can even experiment with it in some safe place to understand it better and feel the characteristics of your car. Then you will surely know how to do it well. I personally don't have too much experience in driving. I have a license from about a year, have driven for maybe about 3000 - 4000 km (didn't count). So that's not that much. But yet I have absolutely no problem with driving completely smooth. You just need to try and use some techniques. And I also recommend to watch some videos on how a manual transmission works. Knowing it really helps you to figure out what to do just by yourself (just by using logic), without learning any rules. Sometimes your ideas might be wrong, sometimes good. Just try and you will know. But don't give up, you can surely do this. In Europe to get full driving license, everyone have to pass your exam in a manual transmission car. And people do. I'm pretty sure Americans can do the same. :D Good luck with your manual gearbox adventure.
