Kaushik Prithviraj Teachers whether in school, college, university or any other profession, trade or field should be respectful of student's learning curve and should be patient, positive, supportive, encouraging and nurturing! If the teacher yells at you, scolds you, like you say "has a grudge against you" then you should say F_CK YOU to that "teacher" and find yourself a better teacher/instructor. It is ironic that he took money from you and treated you like crap. Don't let anyone else do that to you ever, or ever let anyone do that to your child. Everyone needs a positive, supportive environment and especially children.

Not sure if you're still reading the comments, but you are the reason I love driving manual cars. I was able to pass my driving test, but I had never really felt confident with a manual (my instructor was terrible). I would sweat every time I was the first one in a line to a red traffic light (doubly so when adding an incline into the picture). Driving in town used to feel like a chore, but then I encountered this video. It took a few attempts in a parking lot, but I was finally able to do it. I am now as confident when driving a manual as I am in an automatic car. As a matter of fact, I enjoy driving a manual much more than driving an automatic. Whenever someone encounters a problem in driving a manual car, I send them a link to your channel.

Did that with an old car that i knew of that stalled easily despite revving up a bit while smoothly releasing the clutch. It turned out later the car had some defects that didn't show up till it got serviced. Anyway, i knew the green in the traffic light cycle was quite short and there were many cars behind me, so this time i somewhat punched the gas as soon as i felt the clutch disk bite. You guessed it, the first bit my tyres spinned a little and i was actually glad i shot a bit forward instead of stalling the damn thing. The timing belt i think it was, causing the stationary revs to be too low, causing the issues with getting away without stalling.

Thanks for all of this content by the way, it really is the most clear for every different component of driving I've had to learn.

I got my licence two years ago, but bought my first car only this summer. I learnt driving on a diesel back then, and given the engine's torque, it was easy to get it moving even when doing just as much as carefully lifting the clutch pedal (and then slowly adding some gas at the biting point). That's why I currently struggle with my petrol engine car, especially when I have to move on at traffic lights - I instinctively want to apply the same technique that I've gotten used to while learning on that diesel, even though it takes ages to get it moving with that technique. Needless to say, this is certainly undesirable in heavier city traffic, and a major source of anxiety whenever I have to drive in such conditions. This video helps me a lot visually in memorizing the technique that should be used with my petrol car, and already practiced a lot based on it. Absolutely no one could explain this to me so far, so many thanks for sharing it! You absolutely rock, Richard! ;)

when i was learning to drive, i drove in a diesel. Diesel engines are much more powerfull and you can manage with clutch only in most situations without fear of stalling. Then i needed to drive a gasoline car for work and oh boy those are 'nervous' once they stand still with the engine still purring calmly. especially with older more used up cars you need to punch the gas quite a bit to prevent stalling. Making it a bit of a sport to lift off without spinning the wheels might make you very proficient at it in a short time.

Hey man, don't worry about stalling! It happens to all of us, even the most experienced :) I'm not sure, but I think stalling brings no real damage to your car (as long as it's not dumping the clutch with the handbrake on), so don't work yourself over it. If it happens, just dial a back a bit on the level of driving, keep those revs up and slowly pull away :) don't worry about driving fast, worry about enjoying the feel of the car and being safe! Cheers!

Nice car, it will cause excessive wear if you hold the clutch at the bite point for a long time or use too many revs. But the clutch is designed to be pulsed to keep the car slow. It is worth noting that Town/City does wear a car more than highway driving. It's not avoidable.

Nice first car! I went for a Legacy 2.5i as first car, not as fun but a bit more practical.

Especially in reverse, I stall more in reverse. Thanks for the advice!

For a post 2010 model year car this is good advice. For cars with basic drive by wire, or no drive by wire you need more revs, or add a bit of throttle. Modern cars don't have a throttle pedal anymore, but rather a "RPM target" pedal. If you let the clutch bite, the computer will automatically add more throttle to keep the RPMs at the target. The deeper you press the pedal, the higher the RPM target and also the stronger the car pulls to that RPM target. On older cars you have to either start with a bit higher RPM, since the dropoff is bigger, or you need to add a bit more gas right after the clutch started biting. This is very easily demonstrated by holding the throttle pedal at one position while accelerating. The car wil accellerate up to say 2500RPM, and then the acceleration drops off. At 3000 RPM the car will no longer accelerate without you moving the pedal. If you then shift gears and put the throttle pedal at the same position, the car will accelerate again up until that same 3000 RPM. On older cars the car will just keep accelerating until resistance is equal to power. In a lower gear that means 7000 RPM, while in top gear this is 1500RPM for example. I don't understand why car manufacturers started doing this. Does anyone else? It makes driving a lot more jerky, especially with those DSG transmissions. You screech away from the stoplight but at 30 kph it just stops accelerating. All while not moving my foot from the initial position.

After getting used to manuals I would blip the throttle up to 1, 1.5k revs to get going quicker not really thinking about it, just felt natural. It's interesting to learn why it's felt smoother and more natural

I can see how a slipping clutch would make smooth starts easier, but it's not going to last long and you would struggle to accelerate quickly.

Hey man, first of all you've been a big help for me getting my license a year ago,so thank you. I haven't driven a manual for around half a year. A couple of months ago I got my first car which is a manual. Everything is going well except for fast/smooth starts. My clutch control seems is just off and my starts often jerky. I drive 100 km daily from and back to work. I went to practice a few times in quite roads and I've wachted many of your videos multiple times. This is the sixth time I watch this video alone. My car is a kia picanto with a naturally aspirated 1 liter engine so one of the slower cars on the road. I also don't have a rev counter in the car which isn't making things easier for finding out how many revs to give, so it has been a lot of trial and error but I still haven't figured it out. Do you/anyone reading this have any tips?

Hi, thanks for these videos. I had my first lesson today after passing my theory test last week. I thought the manual nature of the car with the clutch and biting point etc. would be the difficult part. I found what was *much* more difficult was getting used to how sensitive the brakes and acceleration were but how not-very-sensitive the steering was. So don't be afraid of manuals! It's not that hard, the hard bit is everything else haha

But, if I use the throttle I tend to chirp the tires or lurch the car foward and stall it. I believe I'm releasing the clutch too fast most of the time, just dumping clutch

Idk why, but most driving schools in croatia teaches you how to drive in a 2.0 tdi golf 7 with loooads of torque and a clever ecu, that basicly adds soo much gas, you can do a hill start on a 10% grade with no gas. But thats stupid. So you passed your driving test, now its time for a new car. 90% of first cars in croatia are made before 2002, and have less then 100 nm of torque. They dont even teach you how to pull up a normal handbrake. So when you try to do a hill start, after passing your test with no minors, you are guaranteed to stall.

@adam If you're in really slow traffic it's more like lifting it up, since you're close to stationary and just lifting a little to get a small amount of bite to nudge forward. Also consider stopping, applying the handbrake and taking the car out of gear. Some drivers are always right up the back of the car in front, but if the traffic is nearly stationary they're getting nowhere but burning their clutch unnecessarily: Just wait, let the gap open up a bit and then back into gear, find the bit point, handbrake off and gently close the gap, then back on the handbrake. Best to be laid back in really slow traffic.

I would summarize this by saying the faster you want to take off, the more gas you need to give the car, an the faster you need to let up the clutch. With no gas, it might take 6 seconds to come completely off the clutch, and you will takeoff extremely slowly. A normal start might involve 25% throttle and it might take 2 seconds to come off the clutch completely. This would be a casual takeoff. At half throttle, it might take a full second to come off the clutch completely. This would be a brisk takeoff, like pulling out into an decent opening in traffic. For the fastest possible takeoff, you would floor the accelerator and the clutch would come up completely in a half second. If timed properly, the rpm should not spike over 3k but not dip below 1.5k either.

I've just learned a valuable lesson I'd like to pass along: Clutches aren't the only thing you have to worry about hurting when it comes to quick starts in modern cars. Most modern engines with manual transmissions now have spring-dampened, dual mass flywheels. These flywheels are also susceptible to failure by overheating, but most especially by SHOCK LOAD. If you aren't careful and just dump the clutch completely out at high revs, you will damage the dual mass flywheel. I'm replacing mine now after a day at the drag strip. Also, don't think you can just replace with a solid flywheel with no cons. Modern engines have higher compression, and are engineered to make power down low in the rev range to save fuel where engine balancing is tougher. The dual mass flywheel is there to soak up rotational vibration to keep your engine happy and quiet. Without it, your engine and geartrain will be noisier and may not live as long. So if you go that route, other considerations need to be made.

That's correct, dual mass flywheels do fail and are expensive.
