How To Drive A Manual Transmission Vehicle | The Easy Way To Never Stall

[@UrbanWrench]

The fact that it was maybe 4-5 years ago, when I watched his old “How to drive a manual” video in the Z, and here I am, back at it again!! How time flies

Love the support! Haha bought a civic si, and im also in my car watching vids on how to drive it☠️

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

I learnt to drive a vehicle with a manual transmission. In my first lesson, I stalled a few times, but in my 2nd and 3rd lesson, I didn’t stall at all.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Cool! It's fun to drive!

[@BrokenAdam770]

For some cars with a 6-speed manual, there is a reverse lock to prevent you from engaging reverse by accident and damage the transmission. The MK6 VW Golf R is one of them.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

That's in every manual for the most part!

For me, back in the day I danced around trying to learn how to drive a manual for some years. And when I did, it was down a gravel road! And what was good about this video is that you instructed it the cool and stress free way 😎

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Oh nice! Yeah it's important to stay relaxed!

[@majood245]

This a best decision for newbies. In fact. Some people hard to drive manual cars for a driving school. Just relax and focus and keep it moving. Manual transmission are fun to drive (I’m not a fan of manual cars) for traffic stick with automatic transmission

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Just depends on what you are ok with! But manuals are fun for sure!

I've looked at many other how to videos, this one is the clearest and we'll spoken and explained of them all. Especially when you gave a "rev range" before engaging the clutch, no one else explains it that detailed. Super helpful thank you!

Nice!! You'll love that car. Those things are a blast! We carry a few parts for the 86 on our website! Could modify it like I'm doing on the Supra ;)

[@xXFUEGIxX]

I just want to know when to shift gears. Is there a certain RPM range for each gear, or speed (mph) range? For example, do I shift into 4th gear when I get to 40 mph or 3k RPM?

[@pezdavis4632]

It just depends. Like going up a steep hill you’ll reach 3k rpm’s a lot slower than going down a hill.

[@vadermike7772]

Excellent video, lots of cool tips

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad you liked it!

[@ninjacloudkidvloggings8528]

Question. Is it OK to downshift and let off the clutch slowly so it won’t jerk? Will it put wear on the transmission?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

You can definitely do that too. Not a bad way for normal driving. Rev matching lets you do a shift a bit quicker tho

[@ninjacloudkidvloggings8528]

OK, because usually my method of driving, if I know I’m about to slow down usually I’ll just let off the clutch slowly into its RPM. And when I’m trying to speed up, I’ll rev match. Im new to rev matching.

[@magnus6829]

Question, actually quite urgent as I’m looking to test drive one tmrw I’m used to using controlling clutch with my heel on the floor, is that possivle in the supra

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Your foot will naturally move with the clutch, that’s just how it is.

[@wezkerlim]

why is the gas pedal not on the same level as brake pedal? makes it difficult to hill toe downshift

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

That’s kind of how most vehicles are. Every manual will differ slightly though, it’s honestly not hard at all.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Sweet!! They are fun!

[@itsshadowuser9536]

so what happens if you dont tap the gas when downshifting to "rev match"

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The tach will jump and it’ll be a bit rough. Depends on the speed though, you could be slowing down to make a right turn and not have to rev match.

[@nomxd0696]

the car is gonna lurch forward a little and wont be as smooth as if u do rev match. some newer cars have automatic rev matching but it is better to learn how to do it manually

[@eduj8086]

One thing i thought i heard or saw somewhere is that for first gear(in older cars that dont have a complex computer) you add throttle as you release the clutch. Is that still fine to do? Or is it actually a blip for 1st gear?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

From a start or while moving? I’d never rev match to first gear. First is for starting from a stand still.

[@eduj8086]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed When ur not moving and try to start rolling. Some people I see they do the entire add throttle AS you release the clutch just how you showed. But some I've seen them blip the throttle while they release the clutch just to give it enough gas for the car to not drop the rpms and start rolling

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@eduj8086 yeah you could do that as a precautionary. Really not needed as your skill develops. Just keep the revs above 1k as you let your foot off the clutch and you’ll be good

[@eduj8086]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed wanted to ask about the method to fix the awkward 1st to 2nd gear shift the Supra tends to have what’s the fix for it?

It looks very complicated but i like to learn because i’m driving automatic

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It's pretty easy to learn! You got it!

[@shantall_sharee]

Today was my second day practicing i learned how to switch gears so quickly. My only problem is pulling off after stopping I’m having trouble with stalling. Its frustrating me because I’m trying to release the clutch slowly and give gas but it’s been problematic for me when pulling off.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It might just take time. Just keep those revs above 1k. Focus on that

I’m looking to get a Supra at the end of 2024 or early 2025. I haven’t touch a manual car in my life. Should I get an old car to practice or should I just get the Supra and learn with it? Sadly I don’t know anyone with a manual for me to practice

[@luckynum223]

Just get the Supra and practice a brand new or year old clutch can take a little extra wear with no problems

[@rampage8617]

You dont really need to slowly lift the clutch, you just need to find the biting point and hold it for 2 secs then let it off

Yes, but this video is more for beginners who just need to know the basics to start

[@legalbeagle295]

Good video. But why do you say "and things like that", just go ahead and say when you shift from 3rd to 4th, to 5th and 6th. Every frickin video never explains

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I explained it pretty good in this video..

[@legalbeagle295]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed good video, except as a complete novice, I am not certain at what speed I should shift from 3rd gear to 4th gear to 5th gear then 6th gear, I am assuming when I get around 30 mph, then 40 mph, 50 mph and 60 mph, but not sure, good video except you just don't say enough to cover these points, for the beginner, like me, who went to your video for a full explanation, you had time, but otherwise good video, thanks for responding

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Watch the tach. When you get to about 3-4k RPM go ahead and shift. Normal driving you want to stay around 2-3k while cruising. If your trying to accelerate faster, can push it closer to 5k to shift. But generally normal during around 3-4. The more you drive the more you'll be able to hear the car and feel when to shift

Why wouldn't you want to drive slowly in higher gears

Because you'll be at a low RPM and bog the engine. You want to keep it around 2k so the engine can have enough power
