How To Drive A Manual Car (Step-by-step) | Learn to drive: Car control skills

Learning to drive a manual car will take a little longer than an automatic car, as there are more car controls for us to master before we can drive smoothly. In this video we will show exactly how to drive a manual car, including how and when to use the clutch pedal, gearstick and hand brake. If you would like more detail about clutch control, gear selection or anything else, then click on the links that we have put at the top of the screen throughout the video.

Thank you

Informative tutorial with red and blue shoes..

[@piseypeov3050]

I just notice color of the shoes for ease of understanding of the drive. Thank you.

Thank you for your link

[@tenkaiplays3925]

Although I already passed my test and am driving an automatic, I always watch your uploads to see if theres any aspect I can improve in

[@husnainakhtar3048]

Wow ,I've liked the red and blue shoes idea for the beginners to understand more than getting confuse with it , Good work, keep it up 👍

[@peaceprosperity3951]

Even though I have got a driving licence in automatic transmission, I am so keen on learning a manual transmission car because many companies and employers demand drivers that can drive manual transmission cars. What's more, if you happen to go on holiday in some parts of the world, automatic transmission cars are nearly impossible to find. What a pity if you go on holiday you can't find an automatic transmission car while you want to visit places of interest by driving yourself. From my point of view, it is worthwhile to learn a manual car, so that you are never stuck anywhere any time.

[@W10_01]

Im only 13 and now I know how to drive a manual car. Thank you so much for this! Complete life changer. Now I understand the basics so when I start taking my lessons I'd already understand everything. Thanks again

[@karanrathod9016]

For learners like me make sure you note down all the problems that you have during your lessons and find ways to fix that problem (also find videos relating to the topic e.g. going around a corner// how to set a right distance when driving near a curb) before the next lesson I know it seems obvious but I had to take three tests just to make it to a pass wasting money and time. Thanks to all the driving lesson tutorials for helping me pass I appreciate it!!!!!

[@maramazone]

Great video, had my fourth lesson recently and this is helping to consolidate things that I am learning- keep up the good work!

Thank you so much! I find these videos super helpful. It is so clear. I practise alongside Mat as he is driving - even though I'm sitting at the computer. It's just my knowing how to move up and down the gears comfortably. I'm sure I'll get there with practise and with continuing to revise with this video. Thank you ADS.

Great Video I did All My Lessons Including My Driving Test in a Car with a Manual Gearbox Just Drove an Automatic Once Manual Transmissions are Allot Fun. I Praticed with an Old Minivan Too wich Belonged to My Family to Develope Skills On The Wheekends when i did not have any Lessons took Practice and did take time to Master The Clutch Moving Off on Flat Ground and on Hills was a Challenge it did Take me 40-50hrs to Master it. But Eventually i did Become allot Better. Cars with Manual Gearboxes are Way More Enjoyable.

[@LMDihaba]

Thank you

[@TechFeedMe]

Great video. There is one thing I think you forgot to cover, which is engine braking. When coming to a stop, you should really be down-shifting as well as braking, as it could be dangerous for you to clutch in and stay in 3rd or a higher gear until you stop. Picture this: you're coming to a stop at a traffic light while pushing the clutch in and leaving the gear in 3rd or 4th. You check your rear-view mirror and see the truck about to rear end you, so you try and move out of the way but stall the car because you were in too high of a gear. The example was a bit arbitrary, but you can see that when slowing down, you should be down-shifting right to 1st gear, or at the least 2nd, in case you need to quickly and suddenly move the car.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We have covered that in other videos, but wanted to keep to the basics this time. Thanks for the comment 👍🏼

[@husnainakhtar3048]

Kanui Good tip

[@Whiponized]

The production quality was sick!

[@RamilSantos-fv5ez]

Wow nice explanation I love it Ma'am?

[@lolanifenring2692]

Apparently there's a 'tempo' to gear-changing. U should pause at neutral for a second between gears, to reduce excessive wear in the gearbox. For eg, from 1st to 2nd, say the change 'one and two' ('four and three' etc) and pause when u say 'and'

[@SniffDaBunda]

Thanks

[@hasinachowdhury6112]

[@BitcoinBabu369]

Hi I have been watching your videos since 4months as I started my 4 wheeler driving. Very professional content you guys are delivering. Thank you so much for your efforts. I Have a doubt here. Could you clarify. When the car is speeding about 60KM per hour i just wanted to slow down some speed may be 45-50 due to slight curve in this case 1. Apply clutch first nd then break to slowdown 2. Apply break first nd then clutch to slowdown 3. Apply break alone. 4. Apply Clutch alone to reduce the speed. Option 1 is currently I'm following. Please correct me if I'm practing wrong. 🤝

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Option 3 is best. Unless we need to change gear or stop, we shouldn’t push the clutch pedal down. This video explains why: How To Avoid Coasting | Learn to drive: Car control skills kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4WclGeHrL-XbcU 👍🏼

Thank you for providing wonderful vedio, do you do any adi part 3 vedio as well?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Our channel is aimed towards learner drivers, so there isn't any content about becoming a driving instructor I'm afraid. From what I've seen on other channels, there doesn't seem to be much demand for it unfortunately.

[@jennyli365]

Had my first lesson for 2 hours. Learnt how to start the car and stop it. My instructor allowed me to drive less than 10 meters😂. Most of time he explained to me the tests and the others which 8 can learn from a book.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

It doesn’t sound like the most productive use of the time. If you’re not happy, remember that you are the customer and it’s easy to change instructors.

[@jennyli365]

Advance Driving School I had 5 hours driving lessons so far. My instructor still asked me to master the holding point and moving point with the gas at 1.1 . I had to move very slow and pressed the clutch all the time to control the speed. He said I have to crawl first, then learn to work and run, just like babies. It is the foundation I have to build . Is it waste of time?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

@@jennyli365 Developing good clutch control is a very important skill for driving a manual car, and always takes a little time to master. I'm sure your instructor knows what they are doing, and is just getting the basics learnt before driving on faster roads.

[@jennyli365]

Advance Driving School thanks for your reply. My instructor is experienced , but he is an old man, I thought he might too conservative, and not allow me to take any risk😂.

[@piseypeov3050]

I'm from Southeast Asia. I think I ride manual motorbike for years since childhood. To me, the manual transmission car is easy as compared to manual motorbike. It's just slight difference that manual motorbike doesn't have clutch pedal. Edited: I said before there is no clutch on motorbike. Actuall, it has clutch when you press hard all the way down on the pedal of the right foot gear of the bike to disengage engine from the wheel. The wheel keep running as you hard-press the right foot gear and it keep on rolling af if without gears on while actually gears are on. So, clutch is rarely used as it could lurk/thrust bike forward when you stop hard-press the right foot pedal as speed is over 60km/h or in gear 4, and that it might cause the bike to crash as well. So, there is sameness model between manual car and manual motorbike.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Thanks for your comment. There are so many skills that transfer from a motorbike to a car, and we always find bikers learn to drive very quickly 👍🏼

[@niketasvlahosz5977]

In higher gears (2-3-4-5) is it necessary to stop the clutch for a moment at the biting point or the key point is to release the clutch smoothly? The Advance Driving School has the best driving tutorials. Thanks in advance! Greetings from Hungary.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

When changing up a gear we just lift the clutch in one movement, but when changing down we ease through the bite point gently to help engage the gear smoothly 👍🏼

[@adanowmaalim5784]

Thanks very much it really has helped me alot.But I have question:Do u pres the accelerator before u chang the gear,if i want to change the gear

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We should lift off the accelerator before changing gear, to allow the engine speed to reduce during the gear change. 👍🏼

[@adanowmaalim5784]

Thanks very much
