The SECRETS of How To Drive a Stick Shift Transmission Like A PRO! EASY Step by Step Tutorial!

[@SamtheCanuck]

Now show us uphill, raining, with a car 6 inches behind you at a red light without traction control lol.

[@JacobRDoty]

😂😂 luckily the mustang has hill start assist. But I can do it in my focus with the e brake. That’s how I used to drive up onto my 2x4s to be able to fit a floor jack under when it was lowered

[@SamtheCanuck]

Jacob R. Doty used to be brutal in my old foxbody 5.0 manual. I forgot about the hill start assist in the newer stangs that is a feature I would have have loved back then.

[@wartortilla2819]

Jacob R. Doty I was just gonna say lol. Yeah idk when they started that but I picked up a GT350 a couple months ago and when I got to a hill, I pushed the clutch in and was gonna let it roll back just a few inches and it just stayed put for about 3 seconds and then started rolling. I thought I had the E-Brake equipped and was very confused till I saw the safety setting lol. Also, they have a clutch assist as well that makes the clutch very very soft. There’s some easy mods to fix that if it’s not your cup of tea. Every car is different. But great advice to get moving!

[@jasonsiepierski8487]

Just find your clutch on hills. You won't roll back at all. Depending on vehicle I just rev match and don't use clutch at all.

[@Blvkcoyote]

Sam C Easy. Keep foot on brake while releasing the clutch, you should know your engagement point and soon as clutch engages foot off brake and you wont roll no matter what.

[@davidszakacs6888]

When I taught my son how to drive stick I had him to use zero throttle for taking off until he caught on, just release the clutch very slowly. Adding the gas came after he mastered that.

[@Theferg1]

@David Szakacs I did the same thing with my son. I bought him a 2008 gmc Canyon single cab 5speed. But that’s exactly how I told him and then once he caught onto that I took him down by his school where there is some hills and I explained to him about when the car started to move when he gets the clutch out which he already knew, and he learned within 10 minutes and we never look back. And he loves his little truck.!! 👍💯

I don't even own a car, but this is super helpful for when i can finally get my license! Love from England

[@LuisMartinez-om4gf]

Same

[@TheEnd-eg6wq]

Had the 15 year old drive mine a month ago he did awesome, last week he sucked, these cars are very easy to teach, the car will basically start to move on its own.

[@dougsimmons22]

It would also be helpful to have a camera under the steering wheel to show the clutch/gas pedal movement from a dead stop and when shifting gears. Maybe as a split screen showing you in the driver's seat talking and shifting and clutch/gas pedal action at the same time.

[@davidkucher5.0Coy]

Great tips Jacob for the beginner. I actually learned to drive a stick on my own when one of my first jobs was working on a car lot, so I had the experience when I later became a truck driver. That's why I love my 13 GT in my retirement years. Stay safe buddy. 😎👍

[@robertgardner4508]

Yeah, I am buying my first 07GT with a 5 speed. It'll be my first manual car I ever owned, and driven. I've driven a manual civic like twice for a few minutes. But I float gears all day in a 10 speed eaton, so I think I can figure it out pretty easily, and I got those fancy pants racing sims to help me too with a shifter and wheel. 😆

[@Michael426]

rev matching would be cool to see.

[@jaydonschiesser5491]

Awesome vid bro, been following your channel for a few months now and you convinced me to pick up a 5.0, love the content 👍🏽 keep up the great vids

[@dynajay4106]

I'm just mesmerized by all the carbon in your interior. I still can't get over how sick that looks lol. One day I'mma upgrade to a GT500 but I'll keep my GT.

[@cjmoore7240]

Great information to help the guys that aren't too familiar with driving a manual. I don't know if you know the heel/toe technique, but that would be a great thing to teach them or show them too! I have a 2013 Mustang GT with the Track Pack. Eibach Pro suspension, Barton Short Throw shifter and STEEDA CAI and CA Tune. Either way great video! The manual is the only way to go in the Mustang! KEEP ON ROCKING.

[@JLBoss2]

i consider my self above average when it comes to manual, but i still ejoying watching this this tutorial, Keep it up with the content i love it!

[@Hunter-bo2lc]

I know how to drive a manual pretty good but just wasn’t good at down shifting. This helped a lot !

[@austingilreath6959]

You help me a lot because I need to learn to drive a 2013 Ford Mustang when I get one

[@braidenspangler3197]

Love this video, helps me a lot. Make another video on rev matching it’d be much appreciated . Keep up the good work man 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@isaiahwashington177]

Thanks for the vid. Explained better then any other vid I’ve watched

[@mr3xklusiv]

I’ve just always been curious how you get downshifts so smooth, I have the basic idea down but sometimes it’s just a little to low rpm or a little high and it bucks

[@cvrlos5.0]

Did you ever find out?

[@datraptorguy186]

This was actually super helpful

Imma drive a 2014 mustang gt from the lot it’s manual and I’ve never driven one but I’ve watched so much

[@chrismarshall4486]

Got videos. Just found your channel. I’m looking for a 12-15 mustang currently. Had a 05 before it got crushed between two trucks. Good times right. But I had a truck once where they put the cup holder right where second gear was. So I had to always skip second when I had a drink. That truck probably needed a lot of work. That thing didn’t want to go into first for anything.

[@noahnavarro6155]

I’ve been waiting for this video!

[@BN99239]

It's less about letting the clutch out slowly and more about holding your clutch at the bite point, then let off slowly. Also, cars with around 150lb-ft of torque is enough nowadays to start moving with just the clutch on the bite point, throttle needed. Modern cars will add gas for you when the clutch is at the biting point, it's got nothing to do with the car having a lot of torque. Also, in reverse, you would never let out the clutch completely, unless you actually want to drive in reverse.

[@githmousli9477]

This would have been great months ago before i learn manual. I still struggle a little with revmatching🤣. But there's is some tips in the vedio for sure. Thanks alot. U gonna benefit plenty of people and encourage them to try to drive a manual. 👍👍 Favorite KZbinr

Gith mousli do you have exhaust on your car?

you should do a video on slowing down with a manual

Man been looking for a 2014 GT for a long time and couldn't find anything nice, bought a 18 GT instead and not gonna lie...i like it a bit more, the factory manual feels so smooth!

[@Wooley689]

Nice dash, console panels, where did those come from? Good explanation, I've been driving manuals since I was eleven, learned on a three on the tree on the farm. I have taught countless people how to drive a manual and usually start them off in dirt so it's more forgiving on the drive train. I also teach them how to use handbrake or the emergency brake to get started on a hill. The clutch in my 2011 Mustang is pretty heavy so you do have to be pretty precise with it. No quarter clutching it.

[@CaptainAries98]

heel-toe rev match down shifting and down shifting w/o rev match

[@ciscohour5884]

I really wish cars could go back to not having consoles. Driving an older car with leg space and only a shifter on the carpet feels so much better.

[@bankuptre4700]

You did a very good job explaining and teaching Thanks

[@mitchellreece9820]

What's the mechanics of a smooth downshift? How exactly do you perform it?

[@itzik8062]

Being stopped uphill gets me every time

Ya but if i down shift like that my car pops like a boss lol 😂 gota love it brop pop pop lol

is it possible to skip a gear when downshifting?

Teaching us the driver mod!

[@garyspalding5772]

I am an older man. I was use to power shifting a 4 speed transmission. On my 2114 Mustang GT I can't do that. I understand a lot of the reason is in this transmission. Will I be able to improve my quick shifting by installing a short through shifter. I don't have a lot of money to put into my car right now.

[@KINGOFKARNAGE]

Damn bro whats the Mustang like in the future??

[@demareni1]

How much did the manticores clutch cost you I gotta do the clutch in my 2012 gt wondering what’s the best option

[@demareni1]

Mantic*

[@zoa1011]

I just got my 14 GT on the 5th, why are the gears so close to each other? I can downshift from 6th just perfectly fine, but can’t shift from 2nd to 3rd, 4th and so on. I go diagonally from 2nd and I jump to 5th.

[@pryork78]

What RPM are you at when you change gears ?

[@ImTheRealSeven]

How do you get all the pops on the downshift, is it a exhaust or a tube?

[@KINGOFKARNAGE]

It can be an exhaust system or you can get a popcorn tune but a popcorn tune can destroy ur Cats so I wouldn't recommend unless ur catless

[@chriscooper8210]

Great video

[@jgl8552]

SO if i am in 6trh gear going 65 and i want to go faster i shouldn't hammer on the gas but shift into 5th accelerate then shift into 6th ?

[@therealmvp7669]

Yeah or even to 4th

[@rudypacheco91]

Nice way to roll with free advertising.

[@ederocampo8405]

When I put my 2013 mustang gt in reverse I’ll grind , any advice ?

[@justinjimenez359]

Rev the throttle a tiny bit when you reverse

[@hihowsitgoing2867]

That rolling off the clutch and onto the gas thing is horrible advice for my car For mine, if you did that you either stall or peel out (unless you did it ridiculously slowly, pissing everyone behind you off). This is because the clutch has a couple points on it that change from nothing nothing, wait it’s bighting, fuck it’s stalled You gotta like bring it back, slow down the release, wait for the bight, give a touch of gas once you found the bight point, hold it there like it’s a 1/2 gear, and then you let it out all the way and the car only shudders at me sometimes I’m still very new to it

[@deonte2x809]

What happened to the Doty shift knob?

Manual > Automatic

So Yes I have had people on my ass on Hills waiting at lights, I want to get out and scream!! I am in a Manual!!! It's on purpose even!!! But anyway thank God I can drive and I keep Hill Assist on. It Helps.. I really Believe 90% of the population can't drive manual's!! Let alone understand how they work!! Every time I down shift behind someone I Rev Match, And The Idiots Think I am Rev'ing My Car at Them!!!!! NO I am Just trying to Get into 3Rd or second!! These people Need a Class on driver ed!! Having to drive a manual or at least know about them, should be part of getting a DL... Yo these cars get so much hate.. I never got hate like this in my daily Juke.. Unless the other driver is a Muscle Car Owner.. It's straight Hate!!!!

[@FollowLite]

First I have to get to the empty parking lot

[@gurfatehdhillon9183]

Hardest thing for me is to get into second gear faster. It’s either I wait for the revs to drop but then I’m slow and the person behind me has to brake, or I let off the clutch faster and make the car jerk a bit. Every other gear is fine. How do u guys get into second faster? I think the issue of the car not having enough momentum off of first is the issue

[@skyesprofessional5ho740]

I know exactly where you are. Is that weird?

[@nqhl4006]

the only thing turning me away from a stick is the clutch can go bad at any time and someone as careless as me will end up crashing or something when i find the clutch wont engage or some shit.. oh yeah it always has to be replaced and thats an extra 2k !!

[@shawnmaurice4115]

They do not go out that easy. I been driving stick for 20 years, only had a clutch go bad once.

[@Wooley689]

If you learn how to use the clutch properly it can last for years. All my years I've only replaced one clutch in one of my vehicles and that was my1992 Ranger 4X4 with over 250,000 miles on it back in 2006 or 2007.
