lol seriously...I just got my first 5 speed and am learning and all I keep thinking is "don't ruin your damn car trying to figure this out"..and im probably not as bad as some!

[@nopentacent3539]

@@sam071691 I just got a FR-S and people kept scarring me about burning the clutch since it was my first manual car, and i was so confused because they would say riding the clutch burns it and then they would say u need to ride the clutch for first and second, The entire time i kept thinking man these clutches must be really sensitive if just trying to learn this can break it.

[@FloridaCatholicGuy]

I think everyone in the USA should learn to drive on a manual. It will make people better drivers and hopefully instill in them that it’s not cool to honk your horn if you don’t take off fast at a stop light.

[@PLATESWEEPER]

Had a 400 LB lady in a kia soul blaring her horn as soon as the light went green because i wasnt taking off fast enough from a stop on a hill.

Sorry, but you can take off jzst as fast as an autmatic at a redlight. If you take too long to start you shoudl probably improve on your driving skills.

How did you get your manual car home if you cant drive it

[@redalert7504]

If you can get first gear down in your driveway you can get it there

[@vivala8691]

took about a month to find my bite point, about 15 tries to get it, a memory break between each. That’s how I learned.

[@soxfantony773]

excellent video man. I just did a 2 hour in car stick shift class and you explained things better than a professional instructor lol.

[@Acti0nbastrd]

as someone who is comfortable with driving stick now your video helped me so much. ESPECIALLY when you mentioned second being rough in BRZ's i thought i was crazy for giving it the tiniest ammount of gass when shifting to second because ive been told " your not supposed to do that".

I am renting a brz right now. Stalled a couple of times already. This is super helpful man!

[@jacobmaland8028]

A car with not a lot of torque won’t take off as easily without using the gas pedal. You can do it with most cars. It’s really just finding the clutch’s sweet spot. But a car with sufficient torque will make takeoffs easy when giving it little to no gas at all. Great video man. Great explanations!

[@playboyromeo8328]

This actually is the best video I’ve ever seen teaching how to drive a manual & it has the same car I’m hoping to get a Subaru BRZ 🙏🏽

I have to rev it a little while releasing my clutch and when it bites, that’s when I’m supposed to give it gas. I am getting used to it though, thank you for the video, it was very motivational

Bro this is the first video that i actually understood. The dude i bought my car from told me to give it gas then let off the clutch and i always found myself either burning out the clutch or having too fast of a start. I just went and tried lifting the clutch without the gas and it did start moving then i gave it gas and it took off very smooth. Thank you soo much lol

[@alekmankerian7222]

This video gave me the final tip to drive my car without stalling :,)

[@MortalWombat22]

How do you make turns in a manual car? When should you switch gears? When should you down shift? Do you have to shift all the way back down to 1st gear before you stop at a stop sign? Is it possible to stall a moving car?

[@stevencordova7804]

Those questions is whats important to me aswell💀💀

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

If you can turn with one hand it should be no problem shifting as you turn, or if you want you can shift after you turn. Downshifting is just like upshifting, but in reverse. When I come to a stop I push in the clutch and hit the brakes, then put it into 1st or 2nd gear after I stop. I drive an old truck with a super low 1st gear, so I don't need it unless I'm hauling stuff. And it's extremely rare to stall once moving, but it can happen if you're not careful.

[@abababa3542]

Probably shouldn’t downshift into 1st...

[@plumbingstuffinoregon2471]

@@abababa3542 True. Not unless you're going really really slow.

[@midnight347]

Its easy man dont overthink it. You downshift just like you upshift say you're moving along 45 mph in 4th gear...you have to slow down to 25-30...you move up to 3rd or down to 2nd depending on the speed you're going and how the car is geared every car is different it just takes a little seat time and eventually you will know exactly what gear you need to be in at what speed etc. If you're driving spirited in mountains or on track it's best to rev match down shift before you go into the curve it helps to slow you down making it easier on your brakes and makes sure you're in the correct gear coming out of the turn so you can have max acceleration if that makes any sense. Dont overthink driving a manual. Just learn how to get the car moving and practice moving up and down the gearbox even while stopped the rest will come to you with seat time. It's just like an auto but.you gotta shift the gears instead of them being shifted for you.

[@jdbrealgaming]

Bruh... Driving manual IS cool... You just gotta be a manual guy 😂 alot of the new manual drivers see it and think it's cool I'm general to learn it and jump on it... Like me lol but they just need to learn the good and bad of a manual

Mmm I’ve been told to release clutch slower than what I am (about a 2 second release) when I’m going from like 3 to 4. But do you think it may be either not enough revs or letting out the last tiny bit too quick? I feel like I’m doing it too slow.
