My first experience driving a manual transmission, I was 13, my Dad and I were heading home on the highway in Wyoming. We were in a 1970 Mazda(R100 I think). My Dad pulled over and asked if I wanted to drive. So I took off, from 1st gear without killing it, hit approx 20mph, hit 2nd gear with no problem. After putting into 3rd gear, the next shift I made, I went back into 2nd. Man, what a ride when I dropped the clutch. I never did that again. I did have quite a bit of experience riding dirt bikes, so I did know how to use a clutch.

[@beargibson3100]

I think it's better to have a more powerful car or truck. If you have to learn in an underpowered vehicle then you have to work the throttle and clutch. However, if you have plenty of torque then you can focus on the clutch and brake until you learn how to manage all 3. Especially on hills.

[@lesserlogic9977]

True, I didn't have much problem with the Viper. A Geo storm is what I learned on

[@TheHiroCameron]

true my first manual I learned to drive was my buddies 6 speed Sentra r spec. no power so hills were scary as hell. My 97 cobra enough power even in 4th gear i don't worry maybe bog a little but will still climb the hill.. 5th gear is a highway gear only when your doing 45 to 50 mph only 5 gear has no power so I just drive in 4th.

Learning in something underpowered forces you to learn how to operate the thing. With a more powerful vehicle, you get lazy since it has enough torque to not matter.

I reckon learning on a small light underpowered thing and really learning how to use the clutch to get the power to the road.

Was it a 1.8 or a 1.6? I'm learning in a 2004 mk2.5 mx5 and I've found it's a very forgiving car in regards to not stalling. It's a car with an excessively heavy fly wheel. My driving instructors kia rio has a light flywheel and even less torque. That thing is very easy to stall. That poor clutch

What a cool opportunity, your student did very well. It takes a few minutes to get the feeling of driving any manual car that you haven't driven before. All clutches are different. I learned to drive stick as I was driving my old jetta off the dealer lot in a snow storm by myself, though I had ridden motorcycles for a couple years prior so I had some knowledge of how manual transmissions function. It was still pretty sketchy. I lol'd when he talked about low torque manuals. I've daily driven an RX8 for like 10 years so it seems normal to me but yeah it can be a little difficult for beginners. If I want to launch without a huge RPM dip I need to dump it at like 3.5k. Also true facts about 911s, I drove my old boss' a few times and it definitely took some getting used to. Really fun car though.

I attribute having any clue to my grandfather who had done a great job describing clutches, how double clutching old cars worked (and why it was necessary) and me getting to drive old manual lawn tractors ;)... having someone explain the basics/mechanics of what is going on seems to be a big help and the rest you can either be guided on/learn much more quickly...

[@klaspeppar5619]

My tip for some one who is trying to learn how to drive manual, don’t look at the tachometer or any other gauge, the “bighting point” or “engagement point” or “get going point” or “dragläget” as its called in Swedish, is something you feel especially if the throttle is involved. But make sure you have a good co-driver that can keep watch of the tachometer so that you don’t go over 2500Rpm as that could burn the Clutch and result in damage or prematurely wear out the Clutch. I personally found the don’t look at the tachometer thing out when i was learning to drive, i started to practice reversing and noted that when i wasn’t looking at the tachometer (look back as you should when reversing) and only going by feel my starts/finding the “dragläge” became smoother a lot smoother.

Everything is easier when you associate the tone of sounds too. I've got to listen for my revs to drop in my 1.5t civic.

[@klaspeppar5619]

@@RCXDerp Yes listening to the engine sound is definitely a key part of "feeling the clutch".

Seeing him learning bring memories racing out on a underpowered manual car Much love from Brazil🇧🇷🇧🇷

Another great video! I taught my stepson and stepdaughter to drive a manual in my 2000 Rt/10. By far the easiest manual to learn on. Just let the clutch out in 1st and it goes.

I've driven stick maybe 3-4 times and I'm REALLY nervous about it but want to learn. Videos like this help so much

[@aslkdfjhg]

Teaching people a new skill like this is such a good idea and opens doors to cars they'd never consider. Driving a modern manual doesn't take a lot of skill, but there's no getting around practice.

Casey is a great Instructor. You are as awesome as your Professor. Continue to do good in this World because that can never be enough. Love is the ANSWER. I Learn so much from this Video. Thanks for sharing.

I never knew it was easier to get into first with more displacement. Prior to buying my stick shift car, I "learned" to drive stick 3 times many years apart. All those times I drove an inline 4 and stalled it plenty of times. My car is a v6 and even though it had been a while I only stalled it a few times before I got comfortable. I was so proud of myself but now I learn the car was helping me out. Lol.

[@peterfredyma3257]

I found that this guy is exactly how I have and would teach someone how to drive stick.......Casey you are very good at this in my opinion.... .I mean of course you are, I am in no way shape or form an authority on this subject...."just a disclaimer" lol but in my experience his approach works great!!!! Making the student feel confident and not so nervous. I'm just impressed.! Thank you.

[@Alan_5.3_Z71]

Casey is an amazing teacher

[@neuro1996]

Thats how driving lessons supposed to be like for real!

[@masonschwemmer4198]

I learned on a 17 subaru wrx that was a rough one stalled that thing more than i can count in the beginning but its so rewarding to become good at driving stick i was smiling through this whole video. You should maybe do more of these types of videos it brought me back

# 1 rookie move in a powerful car. “Look were moving! This is so easy! Now show me heel and toe and rev matching!” Instructor. “Ok, I notice you are only using 4th. Remember this is not an automatic.” Student. “Right, right, shift more even though I am not sure why it’s necessary”

[@GTfour01]

Fantastic vid. I'd so love to be in his seat. My pinnacle so far, is a Stage 2 420hp Supra. And that was the first automatic I drove till then. To command the manual gearbox and 8 Liter V10 of this classic, would be heaven. Loved your very factual and thourough instruction. The only way to do it, with a serious amount of power and capability of this sportscar. Cheers from Holland. 👌🏻

[@That_ViperDude]

Your student is badass. He is def going places fast. Great to see his enthusiasm towards helping others and bettering himself. Also, love his passion for cars and desire to be part of the car lifestyle.

[@ninbri64]

This was so much fun to watch. It's been a long time since I learned how to drive manual transmission. Wish I had Casey as a teacher back then though.

[@borntojoke97]

Liked the video Casey! Although I find very strange how in US people don't know how to use manual, here in Europe you often don't even get to choose to pass the only automatic licence. The day I passed the driving theory test at the regional center, when we arrived at the car to go back to my town the instructor gave me the keys and told me "There you go, now the practice". And so I drove and sweat all the way to the town in that little italian manual Fiat Panda, but we made it! (the instructor sure helped me with the dual pedals control, but that was still a lot of pressure for me).

[@borntojoke97]

By the way, I think you're a great instructor! And the smile on Gareth face when driving the Viper is just fantastic

[@CaseyPutsch]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@Omlet221]

Too many people on KZbin showing how to bypass my millennial anti-theft system 🤦‍♂️

[@opieg7333]

I love that first clutch release that takes forever, reminds me of the first time trying to teach my baby sister to drive. Its funny how we learn to run through the play in our clutches over time. But when we start its 5 seconds before the first bite....Kid did great for the first time on the road. Me, I almost sideswiped a cop. Taught me to always look over my shoulder when changing lanes...ALWAYS.

[@dangleason9023]

This was a great video. But first things I always do is ensure the seat is in the right position so they can fully depress the clutch (maybe you did that off camera). And then ensure they know the procedure to stop the car (clutch in, brake then neutral)

[@matttheman4331]

Your Chanel has grew really fast congrats on 35k I just subscribe a little bit ago when you where below 5k you are a awesome person and you really care about the younger generation

[@marknelson8620]

Wow that's awesome,nice driving test, staying composed and focus, going on the road for the first time,is pretty cool.good job❤

[@takumifujiwara9072]

for anyone learning to drive a stick, learning on a larger displacement engine will always be forgiving. And the likeliness of a stalling a car based on its fuel is CNG>petrol>diesel. that means the most difficult car to learn driving is a small engine car which runs on CNG. And I learned in a 0.8L WagonR CNG so I am talking from experience.

[@rafaelalvarez3016]

the smile on his face, when the engine starts reving up.

[@jermss_]

Well done Casey you're awesome! I bought a Ford ranger with a manual transmission in 05 and learned to drive stick on the way home. It was interesting. Love your content man
