How the gas and clutch controls your acceleration when you want to move.

This video will help you understand how the gas and clutch controls your acceleration. Do you need to change the gas or clutch to speed up or slow down? I also show you how to accelerate quickly and explain what will cause the clutch to wear prematurely.

The perfect video for every beginner like me. Not just your usual "please hold it on the bite point for around 2 seconds" nonesense, but actual facts and methods on how to manipulate clutch control and how to have way more control over the car, how to start slowly or even more quickly.

I just took my manual driving test today in Queensland, Australia and passed on my first attempt with only 5 minor errors, none of which were gear or clutch related and I owe it to you Mr Richard! For the last month, I have watched and re-watched your videos on learning to drive manual and cannot express my gratitude for how helpful and informative each one has been. The attention to detail and explanations are second to none, so much so that in just 1 month and without having a single driving lesson with an instructor, I learnt how to drive manual and passed my test today on my first attempt! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge to drivers both young and old, experienced to inexperienced! We all appreciate it greatly 😊

Understanding how clutch works mechanically makes the whole thing clear. To simply say, taking off quickly depends how fast you release the quick. The more gas you give, the more quickly you can release your clutch.

[@yeetwchybaban]

Yeah

I can never get tired of you talking mate. You are a legend. I still learn things from you after over a decade of driving. I'm sure lot of people who've been driving manual for years don't know all the clutch intricacies you talk about, me being one of them. :)

[@VSTV1993]

It would be easier to say the gas is how much power you want and the clutch is how much of that power you want to let through if that makes sense

[@ConquerDriving]

Agreed. I think I did say that. Gas is potential, clutch is how much you use.

[@nabilhmidouch2019]

I wouldn't use ''it would be easier'' and ''if that makes sense'' in one sentence. This just goes to show why we need more sentences explaining how it works. Plus, if you listened carefully Richard has said the exact same thing at 05:51 . Cheers!

[@boulevard14]

​@nabilhmidouch2019 There's nothing wrong with the sentence, although it could from benefit from a dash before "if that that makes sense". But it's KZbin comments, it really doesn't matter.

[@ariassingh462]

@@boulevard14You completely missed his point. It’s not the structure of the sentence, it’s that ‘it would be easier to explain as…’ and ‘if that makes sense’ are contradictions. Clearly it’s not an easier explanation if he’s having difficulty in conveying it.

Best driver instructor on youtube by far. No matter how many vidoes I've watched... I couldn't drive smoothly... but after watching your videos... I got it down in couple days of practice, and now I can drive comfortably and smoothly

[@PlasticRocket2]

This one was seriously like discovering fire for me. I was having trouble taking off, always revving up a bit higher while at the bite point, after taking off, but the car wasnt going any faster. On rare occasion i got it right but wasnt understanding why until i watched this.I just applied this to my 2.4L sedan and it definitely works!

[@theewbc]

That little bit on boggin down really helped me diagnose why it was even happening in the first place. Initially I gave plenty of gas but as soon as I brought the clutch to the bite point I would for some reason start to lessen the amount of throttle I gave, which caused me to constantly bog down... Thanks for the vids now I can finally have my friends drive in my car without me feelin' embarrassed about how bad I was driving.

I occasionally go through phases where I occasionally spin my wheels when needing to accelerate quickly (turning into traffic, etc). Then that phase ends, and I generally can't recreate the situation until the next time I accidentally start doing so. Now I know why, but more importantly, I also now know how I'm doing it. Thank you.

If you hang a small object from a string from your sun visor mount to act as a pendulum, it will visually illustrate the smooth vs. harsh accelerations. Just a suggestion. Loving your channel. I keep incrementally improving with every video. Thank you for having made these.

Dear Richard, firstly thanks for sharing your knowledge with every inexperienced or new drivers throughout the globe. I request you to make a video how to control clutch and acceleration on a uphill bumper to bumper traffic. Because handbrake probably not comes into effect in this stage when you have to stop and move repeatedly without rolling back. Our Indian roads simply very difficult to drive smoothly but anyone who masters driving in Indian roads would be able to drive anywhere in the world probably. After a long interval of driving now this is the most expected lesson from you.

I have WRX and 1 to 2 upshifts are always jerky due to rev-hang (not sure if your Brits have that). All other gears are fine and smooth as I hold it in the bite point. The 1 to 2 upshift is the one i cant figure out. I hear rev-hang is a thing in all cars now.

Rev hang is normally a throttle body problem. I've driven a few cars with rev hang and managed to fix them all, I don't think it's normal.
