@K A R A B O it's pretty much the same with me with the gears, I would say I'm too forceful and slip it into 4th gear when my instructor tells me to change to second. But, every journey starts with errors, and I'll learn from them.

I was facing this jerking movement while changing gears from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3, applying the second technique really helps...holding the bite point for some time and then apply little gas, then slowly releasing the clutch makes it so smooth. Thanks for the tip

for me, i always have a really long delay for accelerationg when changing from 1 to 2, or i get a massive jerk. ive started applying a little gas when pulling the clutch out and got perfectly smooth gear changes, but i thought that would be damaging the clutch. does anyone know whether using a slight pressure on the gas when releasing the clutch is bad or fine?

I've always heard never to add gas while you hold the clutch at the bite point on an upshift, but i always felt it was smoother, and felt that smoother was better for the clutch, the engine, the transmission. every time i do it its so smooth, it feels like it can't be bad for the car, so i'm glad to hear you do it too.

[@ConquerDriving]

You have to do whatever works best in your particular car.

[@sifutg]

Good explanation, my teachers did not do a good job explaining it to me, had to figure it out on my own, the key word you explained here is "gently release the gas" like theres still revs in the engine.

[@alexjames4064]

“During your driving lessons you aren’t going to get hugely skilful, you’re going to get skilful enough to pass a driving test”. Nailed it. Thank you so much, Richard! I feel like my driving instructor wants me to aspire to being a precision driver (and makes me do methods for changing gears and for manoeuvres that are way beyond my realistic skill level). All it does is increase the amount of mistakes I make, which undermines my confidence, and leads to even more problems.

You are so great i have my license but i hv been learning to drive manual perfectly so i come to you videos

[@nikapatiu]

6/13/22 bite point: - car slows down a bit, up in pitch, rev goes up a lil bit smooth gear change: - diesel slows down a lot when u come off gas so it’s harder to change gear (petrol gives u more time) - don’t worry abt slowing down as a beginner (but u can practice: come off the gas slowly and maintain speed before pressing clutch down, adding bit of gas before coming off the clutch)

[@mmawalidh]

One year since I got my license. Still watching your videos to be a better driver.

[@benjidoesthings1175]

2:50 That was interesting for me to figure out. Before I went behind the wheel for the first time, I knew that you had to carefully lift off the clutch when starting in first gear. And i thought, when shifting up, you could just release the clutch as quickly as you want. Well, feeling like a seal on land, I found out this is not true.

[@ConquerDriving]

😂

[@YourCRTube]

Yeah, instructors tend to focus on starting and first gear and one gets the impression after 1 it will be trivial and not needing attention. I personally have pretty much perfect start on 1, but am horribly slow moving on second.
