How To Change Gear In A Manual Car | Learn to drive: Car control skills

Most people learn to drive in a car with a manual gearbox, as they are much more common in the UK - and if we pass our driving test in a manual car then we will be allowed to drive all types of car afterwards. If we want to master driving a car with a manual gearbox we will need to be able to smoothly change up and down gears when needed. To do this we will have to coordinate our hand and feet movements, and even though it may seem difficult at first, keep practising and eventually, it will become second nature. This video will show you how to change gears, and suggest a few tips to make it as easy as possible.

KZbinrs out here teaching us more than our own parents these days 😂

Bruh... I Was Just Saying That In My Head Lol...

Facts

[@sorelsuareztube]

I have driven for 30 years but never seen the theory of it. Very interesting.

[@mckenziethorton8725]

This video helped a shit ton, I didn’t really understand when my instructor was telling me im a visual learner so I gotta see to understand .

[@cess_gc]

got my first driving lesson today and didnt understand what my dad tells me to do guess this video explain to me much better than he do😂😂

[@alinasuresh1819]

I am similar as well, I am also a visual learner.

[@karmabrown4635]

Same! My instructor was just shouting orders at me that I didn't understand. Watching videos helped a lot

[@topazreed9675]

i can’t explain how helpful this is, i was having trouble once i’ve changed gear and then lifting my foot off the clutch while also using the gas, it kept making some revving sound and i don’t think my instructor understood what i was doing wrong and kept moaning at me (i’m referring to the part when once you’ve changed gear and you start putting the gas back on)

[@Yveness]

I wish I had practiced changing gears in a stationary vehicle on my early driving lessons but its not too late for me to learn this method. Thanks for the clear demonstrations!

[@ashleyvella8478]

I always have trouble when changing to second gear, but this video helped me a lot.

[@squadmeta]

The easy to remember method I was taught, always take the hand position for the gear you are going to regardless of the gear you are in, 1st and 2nd palm to left, other gears palm to right, reverse gear palm on top to push down on lever or lift up collar depending on the safety feature for the particular vehicle. As the video shows, the spring mechanism is there to help and make things very simple, very important to learn this as a new driver and you'll never miss the gear you wanted.

[@evelynlaing6497]

Great 👍

[@leratosegolameletlhoma2757]

After watching this video, gear shifting became easy for me. Thank you sooo much♥️

[@bwscott6859]

This taught me more than any instructor ever has. Thank you!

[@zaknafein641]

Thanks, this really helps, I'm taking driving lessons and sometimes change to 4th instead of 2nd gear.

[@Jake-yg9it]

Hope your lessons have been going well. I recently purchased a new car and did this so many times, at least stalled it 4 -5 times whilst I was driving back home lol. Every car is different and everybody will still stall their car every now and then. Nobody ever really told me that I had to hold the gear nob left whilst going down!

[@aliburiro6791]

A comprehensive way to teach new drivers, well done, keep it up. thanks.

[@mylesswann530]

This is helping me alot, I just purchased an old 6 speed diesel truck as my daily and im trying to learn over summer break.

[@rubyrose497]

Thank you so much for this! This video is a huge help. I have a driving lesson in an hour so this will really help me understand what I’m doing and WHY it has to be done.

[@kowalski7086]

I am pleased to say that everyone I've spoken to about manual gear box says it's second nature. Very reassuring. :)

I'm from Korea and we drive on the opposite side of the road and yet here I am watching a tutorial video from the UK. I thought the gear would also be opposite (right to left) but it's same!

[@ahmedaniahmedani1435]

Thank you very much.

[@austinwachira5185]

Nice Vid!

[@Tune2dis41]

You are the only you tuber who said DON’T look at the gear shifter while driving that is important to know I say practice where the gears are that way you can know what gear is at!

[@faditalel755]

[@holdenpresti2419]

Sadly in the US we have more auto cars, I bought a manual for that reason and am glad I did, wish US was like UK

[@bledidhima4121]

you are help full thank you

[@manaspradhan4168]

Very nice driving

[@shyryTsr2k]

Thanks so much for this video, I'm from the US and nearly every single car is automatic but I just think it'll be interest to learn how to drive stick shift.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

It is more involving to drive a manual car, and also gives you a bigger choice of cars to drive as some cars were never made with an auto gearbox - eg Honda S2000 👌🏼

[@seanavery_sa5935]

.this is very interesting ❤

[@saleemhussain1201]

Ive just done my lesson today it need to work my postioning sometime i hit the break to hard but i think i did ok for my first lesson

[@justinchikumbu4138]

I like it too!

[@doreenserena5577]

I am student and always have problems with My teacher because of changing gears 😏.... this video help me alot thanks 🙏

[@NA-nd3es]

Thank you

[@jennylees9425]

I learned to drive in a manual car, but now I drive an automatic and it's so much easier, full control of the wheel at all times and no danger of stalling 😅

[@stabs7139]

This really helped. No one has ever clarified before that you can press in the direction of 1st or 2nd gear (left) BEFORE pulling up/down and to 5th and 6th gear on the right. Really works for visual learners like me. Thanks very much!

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Exactly! It’s a much more reliable gear change when done this way 🚙👍🏼

[@richardna1237]

Where in the video?

[@benfero1565]

You are Perfect

[@pro_bonke]

I really appreciate your teaching, thanks a lot
