How to drive MANUAL in a MAZDASPEED/MPS

Today I tech you how to drive Manual in a Mazdaspeed 3 MPS or how to drive Manual in a Mazdaspeed 6.
A Mazda 3 MPS or Mazda 6 MPS are hard manuals to drive, but you can still learn manual in a MazdaSpeed or a Mazda MPS.

[@LifeOfTuners]

Trust me if you haven't driven manual before, you can definitely do it in this, even though it's a hard manual instagram.com/life_of_tuners?

I'm afraid you're teaching people how to let their clutch slip which will kill your clutch over time... I've only had manuals, I started the video expecting the best way to go fast lol

[@LifeOfTuners]

@@Ries why would the video be that 😭 In these if your starting out the only way is to apply gas before letting out the clutch, their clutches are different and harder then most manuals out there, plus clutches are designed to have someone do that, to a point ofc, like if yo smell burning 😭😟 oh hell narr

[@Ries]

@@LifeOfTuners Wel because it said how to drive manual in an MPS in specific... Oh I know my second car was a 323F, pedals were really hard to engage and the shifter wasn't the easiest as well.. At the moment I'm trying to teach my girlfriend not to 'money shift'.. However good tips for those having trouble shifting! I didn't sub for nothing, I like your content!

[@LifeOfTuners]

@@Ries ayyy nice one

[@Ries]

@@LifeOfTuners I liked it a lot, it was my second car... I have had a lot of cars since when I had the money. I'm now saving up for the 3 MPS, since my current car costs me to much money monthly... And still want a fairly practical car with speed and potential ;)

[@cohanhinkley6278]

I learned to drive stick in my 6 mps last year and everything you said was spot on great video

[@LifeOfTuners]

Ay thanks bro, Tryna help everyone else who was in the same boat as us 🤙

[@sav7123]

I learned on a speed 6 with an aftermarket clutch. Definitely a humbling experience 😅

[@jamesross2373]

I find the manual in the MPS way easier than the Porsche 944 S2 I learned in. That car had heavy bit sensitive inputs including the clutch. Slow speed was especially difficult. If you weren’t perfectly smooth it was punishing.

[@LifeOfTuners]

Oh sheeeesh learning in a porche

[@AerphGaming]

Ahhhh to be young again. Can't wait to get back into my speed

[@LifeOfTuners]

Speeds are the best

[@AerphGaming]

@@LifeOfTuners they really are.

[@j7sportvideo24]

I’m learning to drive manual with my g920 wheel setup with forza lol. Not ideal but I’ve been playing for almost a year and I think I’m ready to try real life

[@LifeOfTuners]

Ohhh 👀 update me on how it goes

[@joelsiebert4356]

I did too, it makes shifting feel more natural, the only thing the logitech wheels dont get quite right is the clutch feel, clutch control is always the most difficult to learn

[@LifeOfTuners]

@@joelsiebert4356 how useful did you find it?

[@youresomuchfun]

whats the tuner you have? the little thing that talks

[@RazoE]

It's always easier to drive a manual hard and fast (giggity) than smooth and slow (giggity)

[@LifeOfTuners]

If this ain't the truth ^^^

[@AgedNoodles]

Happy to see you're also in New Zealand

[@LifeOfTuners]

hell yeah!

[@AgedNoodles]

@LifeOfTuners love the MPS. Getting one in April/May. Starting to learn about it now

[@LifeOfTuners]

@@AgedNoodles ohhh nice, you’ll love it

[@Uurrgg3]

I went to go test drive an MPS from a car yard like the one in this video, but I stalled a bunch of times at a stop light, had people behind me yelling to hurry up, but when it comes to driving around its perfect. But I did notice that this MPS was a lot harder to drive compared to other FWD vehicles ans such.

[@LifeOfTuners]

Yeah they defo require a bit of focus to get right

[@ProfessorPrototype]

Hey man thanks for the video, I just got a MSP3 and the clutch pedal feels like ass. Engagement from bite point to full clamp is like 2cm. Does yours feel the same way?

[@LifeOfTuners]

Yeah personally I like it, doesn't feel like some econosh*tbox clutch, easy as to feel out

[@copynpaste_9979]

Can you go from 4th to neutral while stopping at a light ?

[@LifeOfTuners]

Yeah bro, some people will say you have to do all these downshifts, but nah you don't, you defo do that. I usually do a rev match to 3rd or sometimes 2nd so it sounds cool 😎😎 then into neutral

[@BrokeAndBrokenBro]

I downshift all the way to first if I have time, its good practice to revmatch

[@anthonyi2221]

@@BrokeAndBrokenBro waste of time and wear on your clutch downshifting to a stop .

[@BrokeAndBrokenBro]

@@anthonyi2221 only lazy people who cant downshift smoothly say that 😜

[@anthonyi2221]

@@BrokeAndBrokenBro that's dumb, there literally no need to. You're putting wear on yours synchros, clutch and bushings for no reason. But go for it

[@user-rg3lf1sk2m]

With the turbo block off plate can I still bang through gears or do I have to wait in between shifts ( I heard it is bad to be on throttle when it’s fluttering)

[@LifeOfTuners]

100%, I do have a block off plate and I haven't seen many people if any bang gears quicker then me. When they say it's bad to flutter when on throttle, it means, if your foot is on the gas and you hear a stutter, that's bad. So yeah you'll be all good

[@user-rg3lf1sk2m]

Oh so like if I I’m accelerating and it starts fluttering it’s bad also would I need a time or hpfp for this?

[@LifeOfTuners]

@@user-rg3lf1sk2m yeah that'd exaclty it and no you wouldn't need either 🤙

hows the turbo holding up after the block off plate

[@LifeOfTuners]

I mean perfectly, like I said never seen a turbo need to be replaced because of a block off 😎

[@AerphGaming]

@@LifeOfTuners until it does.

[@LifeOfTuners]

@@AerphGaming that hasn't happened to someone and the thing is, the turbo seals on a mazdaspeed turbo will fail far sooner then the shaft etc being too damaged due to a block off 😎

[@AerphGaming]

@@LifeOfTuners your wrong though. Compressor surge causes damage to the compressor blades and the throw out bearing and at a far faster rate then what the k04s seals will fail and you can just run a slightly higher weight oil to stop the seal leaks. I'm not necessarily here to argue. I actually like your channel and all the love you give these much deserved cars. But just remember... You don't know what you don't know. Don't wreck your car because you wanna make turkey sounds. Just use a turkey call as a BOV XD

[@LifeOfTuners]

@@AerphGaming ahaaha I like turkey noise 👉👈 yeah I don't wanna argue with any one (I love you no homo?
