A few things you forgot is that you don't have to use the clutch or break when turning the car on but you can only do this with it in neutral, and when you stop at red lights or whatever you can go into neutral and release the clutch fully with the break or hand break on with out any stalling thus works similar to a clutch by keeping the motor running. Oh and always use 2 feet for the pedals, and when down shifting to slow down use the break to help.
any car that is manual does not have a parking "gear" brake... as a result a car thats off is kept in neutral, but because its neutral the car isn't braking, its free to gravity THEREFORE when the car is off the e-brake is kept on but when you turn it on you take off the e-brake and hold the brake so the car doesn't fall anywhere
I think everyone should drive manual transmisson to begin with, because it requires focus all the time at first, and by the time you don't have to think as much about shifting and starting off ect.. you've developed really good driving habits.
@jmrub06 WHATS SO WORST ABOUTIT? A SMALL SENTENCE DOES NOT HAVE MERIT. WHY IS IT WORST. THE KEY OF LEARNING MANUAL IS PRACTICE, PRACTICE, AND MORE PRACTICE. I UNDERSTAND THE VAST AMERICANS USE AUTOMATIC. COME ON!!! HANG UP THE PHONE, PUT THE DRINK AND THE HAMBURGER DOWN, AND DRIVE!!!!
When learning to drive, it should be mandatory to be taught to drive a manual transmission. There are so many people who can barely drive an automatic.
@HurdleHopping The best way to learn that part is to lift the clutch slowly until you reach the bite. Then hold the clutch pedal at that very position until the car starts moving. Then slowly release the clutch when you are in motion.
Go and practice in an empty car park or something away from other cars.
You dont actually need to use the accelerator to make the car move. Learn how to make the car move without it first and you will be a good driver :)
I got it!! haha after soo long i was shifting at such a low RPM. I have to shift at high RPMs at around 3000. It doesnt slip/jerk almost at all. Thanks everyone for your help.
This seems just a bit easier. I've been driving an automatic and might want to learn just in case I get an automatic. I may practice driving one this weekend. I just have to get used to the 3rd clutch and gear shifts.
@Ferrari360Spyder make sure your shifing between 2000 - 4000 rpm, also if the shifts are really jerky it may have something to do with your transmition, so if it keeps up. maybe take it in.
@Ferrari360Spyder Hey there. I think that you could be taking too long to shift. If you take too long to shift, the rpms will often drop lower than they normally would. This causes the synchro to boost your rpms quickly to keep the engine going which can cause jerkiness. Also, try to work on modulating/balancing the clutch. It takes a lot of practice, but is well worth it in the end. Hope this helps! Let me know.
@Ferrari360Spyder you are not reaching an optimum RPM in first gear i.e., 2500- 3000. The second gear won't be happy if its not accepting enough RPM from the first gear. Therefore the car will jerk and stutter.
if you need a tutorial to drive an automatic car,then you must really suck...I have some things to say to the video owner: 1. you don`t have to be in neutral to start your car(just press clutch while in 1st gear and you can start the engine.try it if you don`t believe me).2.at diesel motors you can put the car in motion with your clutch only(no gas pedal needed).If you are trying to teach somebody,at least teach them right:))
@euistarzan 3. NEVER do a hillstart like in this video, you will end up rolling back into somebody. In fact, its wise to not release the handbrake before you get to the clutch bite anyways, hill or no hill.
You should never give it gas when starting, unless your car is having trouble starting. Never do this for manual or automatic cars. It is a very wrong and unsafe practice. If your car happens to be in gear and park brake not engaged, it's disaster waiting to happen.
@tupsumato giving gas when starting is only done in very cold weather or cars with fuel pump problems. As soon as your key turns through the accessory notch, the car automatically pumps gas for you. Pumping gas while starting is a total waste of fuel and dangerous because when your car is in gear and you give gas, the car will lurch forward violently and stall. You sound like a beginner.
@randompop101, the manual of my car is only concerned about the temperature of the engine (cold - don't give gas; automatic choke engages vs. warm - give some gas (to prevent automatic choke from engaging?)). It's the same regardless of air temperature, and I've noticed that it works best if you do as the book says.
.
Also, I have the e-brake engaged and press the clutch when I start the car so it won't lurch forward even if it was in gear (as it usually is when it's been parked).
@tupsumato Giving gas while starting is a very wrong procedure. I hope your driving instructor taught you this. Most cars nowadays will pump gas for you, so giving gas while starting like I said is a total waste of fuel. If the clutch happens to fail, your car will launch forward accidentally if you give gas. That is WHY ALL PRO drivers, instructors, including millions of experienced drivers tell you to put your right foot on the brake and left foot on the clutch.
@randompop101, my driving instructor didn't teach me anything about that because I learned to drive in a 2000s Toyota with EFI etc. while my own car is an early 1980s Ford with carburetor etc. I'm just doing what the booklet says because here no-one else drives such an old car.
.
If the clutch fails while starting, which sounds very unlikely, then yes, the car will move forwards a bit, but considering that the e-brake is on and the fact that the car only has 69 hp, it won't be much.
@tupsumato If it's a crappy old car you are talking about, then yes, go ahead and give gas. Just don't come on Youtube and start teaching people how to drive. YOU PUT YOUR right foot on the brake EVEN in an automatic car, not mentioning a standard car. If your instructor didn't teach you to depress the brake while starting, then he should be fired. Some newer cars won't even let you start unless you depress the brake.
@tupsumato when I'm telling you something right, don't pretend you know better and start arguing back just because some little booklet told you to in an ancient car.
@tupsumato By the way, clutches do fail. It is not uncommon. I've been driving my manual transmission 98 Civic for over 8 years and it has happened. When you give gas, it doesn't just move forward. It fucking jumps forward ok? I've changed the clutch 3 times now. When u drive an automatic, guess why you cannot shift out of P unless u press the brake? THis is STANDARD operational procedure.
@randompop101, clutch fails have never happened to me or any of my friends, but I guess it's possible. If it fails, it just drops, right? I don't think my engine produces enough power and torque at low rpm (I don't floor the throttle, just give some gas) to make the car move more than a feet or two before it stalls because the rear wheels are, after all, locked. As for automatics, I have never driven one so I don't know how they work. Three clutches over 8 years? You must be driving a lot!
@tupsumato If you give gas when whether is extremely cold, such that your gas line is half frozen, you will damage your car. As to why millions of advanced, experienced, or professional drivers tell you to put your RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE, please refer to my other post. I do not give a shit what that booklet says. You should only give gas in warm weather and when your car has trouble starting, such as low battery or on a hill.
@randompop101, fortunately it never gets that cold around here. I don't give gas when it's cold because it would prevent the automatic choke from engaging, making life difficult for everyone.
.
Perhaps the engine, being quite old, requires some input from the driver when starting. It will start even if you don't give it gas, but you'll have to crank it for a while and the automatic choke might engage, resulting in insane idle rpms for a while.
@randompop101, of course in modern fuel-injected vehicles you're not supposed to give any gas ever, even in cold weather. Should've mentioned that in the first post...
Don't try this on a Toyota Matrix manual 5-speed. They fail even when you do it right. Still have my orginal brake pads, transmission replaced. Edmunds has a page for Matrix manual transmission failures! Toyota quality is a myth.
sorry for criticizing, but he rolled back way too far on that hill. he should have released the clutch quickly while doing a heel-toe type of thing to keep the car from rolling back. if done correctly the car shouldn't have moved back more than 5 inches. otherwise, this was a good tutorial and i can see an amatuer learning from this video well.
That is not true for most of the US, european people must be laughing at your comment. In Canada everyone who drives, is familiar with both styles, if not can drive both.
Last I looked only 6% of cars sold in the U.S. will even be offered with a manual transmission, as an option, with slushbox being the OEM, so, yes, it is true.
Ok....so 6% of newer vehicles, what about older vehicles where manual trans is the norm, in "GASP" most AMERICAN cars. Besides just because it is not exclusively used doesnt mean that people dont know how to operate them, let alone what they are. You know we have other things with a manual trans other than cars, ATVs and such? SO, NO. IT IS NOT TRUE. .....fack
Here's a fun homework assignment: Find three driver's education schools in the United States of America that offer stick shift instruction on their own vehicle and then post your list on this comments section.
Sorry Teach' Homework is for people with learning disabilities. Why the fuck would I do that? Just because that isnt what the drivers education centres use doesnt mean people dont know what they are or how to use them. Auto is easier to learn obviously, why would they offer manual? They are meant to teach you to drive safely, clutch and shifting would just be another lesson and more of your money spent, On something you can learn in 10 minutes on a back road with a good teacher.
at first i thought stick shift was hard but then i tried driving manual and it was easy all you really need to pay attention to is how to put it in to first then from there on its pretty basic!!
In europe where I live, manual is standard. I´ve only seen an automatic shift once in my life. It´s a little tricky at first but you get it down with some practice. I don´t even have a license yet and I can drive it. Took about 2-3 tries with my dad. Also, it´s more fun that an automatic imo.
you just hold in the clutch when u shift let off the gas.. fly through the gears, when u slow down same thing except your downshift... just have 2 get used 2 it, way more fun also
yes manual is a little bit hard at first till you get use 2 it. when i first got my manual car a couple days of me driven and stallin i told my self why the hell did i buy a stick shift car but now ive been driven stick for about 6months now and i can shift without even thinkin about it and its really fun to drive once your good at it
Heh, I didn't realize until about 3 minutes in that this was a Miata, which is embarrassing because my car is almost identical (the one in the video appears to be a very early NA model.) When I watch it again, it's really obvious: I can recognize the pedals at 0:20, the center console at 0:47, the gauges at 1:31, the Miata floor mat at 2:23, the steering wheel at 2:49, and of course the exterior confirms it later in the video, but the first time it took me until 2:54 before I put it together. :)
it doesnt have to be in first to start, its a tach or tachometer not a rpm guage and a speedometer not a mph guage and you dont need the hand brake as long as its in gear and you dont judge by rpms. you go by feel. i can get my 944 moving with 1200 rpm. 200 rpms above idle.
just learnt how 2 drive manual the second time now and i went alright! =) now i jus gotta remember which gear 2 put it in with out my sister having 2 tell me. but manual isnt that hard as i thought it was. pretty tiring tho LOL =)
I've got no idea which retard marked you down, but yes, rpm is rpm, just that second gear provides less transmission power than fifth gear... and stupid people will need explaination on how that works. 1 simple clue... torque. First gear = lalrge perpendicular distance = move a large distance to achieve small angle turn.
Fifth gear = small perpendicular distance = move small distance to achieve large angle turn, but requires a shit lot of energy... would only be efficient if already spinning
You'll be fine, its just a pain in the ass around town and alot of stops. I suggest learning in automatic to drive, then after your comfortable just driving and breaking, then moved to a manual.
i agree with you on the pain in the ass in town etc. but i disagree with the learning thing. learn on a manual and you can drive anything. anyone can drive an auto...
Thank you! but not everyone should drive..kids go to sleep and old people must take their medicince and idiots keep your mouth shut and have some respect for the instructor..,,if you dont like watching this and want to learn then go and ride a donkey
fuck the seatbelt in Russia nobody uses them and the cops dont give a fuck. Even if they do stop you for a seatbelt you just give them 50 cents and you are free to go.
You should always teach new manual transmission drivers to press the clutch in when starting the engine. Chances are that they might forget to place it in neutral before they try, so this keeps it from rolling while starting.
There are still several cars that need the clutch pressed to start regardless if it is in gear or neutral.
Pressing the brake before shifting into gear is only common sense. Any instructor will tell you that, unless you're a fan of rolling into cars behind you. Which you may be.
it looks like fun to use manual shift but when you are starting a car you need to put you feet on the clutch and brake. just to start a car! holy automatic shift is easier you just put the key in with out pressing the break and then when you are ready to go you press the break and put it in drive and your off. when going downhill you press the button on the shift.
You might want to correct you're parking procedure which says to press the gas and brake rather than clutch and brake. An obvious oversight but they're are some real dumbass's out there.
I had 2 learn how 2 drive manual bymy self.

Besides just because it is not exclusively used doesnt mean that people dont know how to operate them, let alone what they are. You know we have other things with a manual trans other than cars, ATVs and such? SO, NO. IT IS NOT TRUE. .....fack

Actually ATVs and scooters are very difficult to find with a manual tranny now in the USA.

Here's a fun homework assignment: Find three driver's education schools in the United States of America that offer stick shift instruction on their own vehicle and then post your list on this comments section.
YTRulesFromNM 2 years ago
Sorry Teach' Homework is for people with learning disabilities. Why the fuck would I do that? Just because that isnt what the drivers education centres use doesnt mean people dont know what they are or how to use them. Auto is easier to learn obviously, why would they offer manual? They are meant to teach you to drive safely, clutch and shifting would just be another lesson and more of your money spent, On something you can learn in 10 minutes on a back road with a good teacher.

how do you " remove " the hand break and the clutch to drive a manual?
shotboy92 2 years ago
remove handbrake...
push the small button and put it down... for old heavy cars the handbrakes has buttons on the side then you rotate it clockwise and push it in...
i have a vid that has the old car type handbrake

yusuf980 2 years ago
In europe where I live, manual is standard. I´ve only seen an automatic shift once in my life. It´s a little tricky at first but you get it down with some practice. I don´t even have a license yet and I can drive it. Took about 2-3 tries with my dad. Also, it´s more fun that an automatic imo.

you just hold in the clutch when u shift let off the gas.. fly through the gears, when u slow down same thing except your downshift... just have 2 get used 2 it, way more fun also

yes manual is a little bit hard at first till you get use 2 it. when i first got my manual car a couple days of me driven and stallin i told my self why the hell did i buy a stick shift car but now ive been driven stick for about 6months now and i can shift without even thinkin about it and its really fun to drive once your good at it
lovehinafan555 2 years ago
Heh, I didn't realize until about 3 minutes in that this was a Miata, which is embarrassing because my car is almost identical (the one in the video appears to be a very early NA model.) When I watch it again, it's really obvious: I can recognize the pedals at 0:20, the center console at 0:47, the gauges at 1:31, the Miata floor mat at 2:23, the steering wheel at 2:49, and of course the exterior confirms it later in the video, but the first time it took me until 2:54 before I put it together. :)

sharkboy3000 2 years ago 3
it doesnt have to be in first to start, its a tach or tachometer not a rpm guage and a speedometer not a mph guage and you dont need the hand brake as long as its in gear and you dont judge by rpms. you go by feel. i can get my 944 moving with 1200 rpm. 200 rpms above idle.

You can skip gears, but it really sucks some gas and is a little harder on the car. I wouldn't skip 4 and 3, normally just 4th is what I do.
emopope 2 years ago
it jsut shows how fast the engine is spinning, 2000 rpm in second gear is the same as 2000 rpm in 5th gear
ert135 2 years ago
I've got no idea which retard marked you down, but yes, rpm is rpm, just that second gear provides less transmission power than fifth gear... and stupid people will need explaination on how that works. 1 simple clue... torque. First gear = lalrge perpendicular distance = move a large distance to achieve small angle turn.
Fifth gear = small perpendicular distance = move small distance to achieve large angle turn, but requires a shit lot of energy... would only be efficient if already spinning

You shift gears without thinking

You'll be fine, its just a pain in the ass around town and alot of stops. I suggest learning in automatic to drive, then after your comfortable just driving and breaking, then moved to a manual.

i agree with you on the pain in the ass in town etc. but i disagree with the learning thing. learn on a manual and you can drive anything. anyone can drive an auto...

In some new car, the automatic transmission is faster and more economical. But, you don't have the manual feeling.

If you have the E-brake on there's no need to hold the brake. On plane surfaces, the car will not move on even if you're not pressing the brake.

You should always teach new manual transmission drivers to press the clutch in when starting the engine. Chances are that they might forget to place it in neutral before they try, so this keeps it from rolling while starting.
DJBiv788 3 years ago
It's generally a safety rule.
MadCow582 3 years ago

Deereseason08 3 years ago
many cars have safety mechanisms that require the clutch to be pressed even if it is in neutral.

muncie55 3 years ago
There are still several cars that need the clutch pressed to start regardless if it is in gear or neutral.
Pressing the brake before shifting into gear is only common sense. Any instructor will tell you that, unless you're a fan of rolling into cars behind you. Which you may be.

when you park, its better to put the car in reverse, because its the lowest gear and then apply the e break

if Im facing uphill, I put into 1st. Flat or downhill I put into reverse. Makes sense to me.

it looks like fun to use manual shift but when you are starting a car you need to put you feet on the clutch and brake. just to start a car! holy automatic shift is easier you just put the key in with out pressing the break and then when you are ready to go you press the break and put it in drive and your off. when going downhill you press the button on the shift.

You might want to correct you're parking procedure which says to press the gas and brake rather than clutch and brake. An obvious oversight but they're are some real dumbass's out there.
