"...when you release the clutch, the car goes slowly forward..." -_____-
"pt.1"
I thought I was going to see a tutorial for rev matching, double clutching, heel and toe, clutchless shifting, e-brake drift, quick shifting, power shifting, gear skipping.
mm trust me once you star off with a manual car u never want to switch to auto i have 2 cars one is a Toyota Camry S 5 gears and the other one is a pontiac GT sport, Both manual. And in my opinion the Toyota Camry is the perfect car for a beginner is really a tough car to brake and easy yo learn plus u don`t waste any gas at all the pontiac in the other hand its more costly but a damn good car.
Hey, Gooney87, please help me out. I have a 1997 Honda Prelude 100% stock. Is it normal and/or safe to very slowly and easily take the car out of gear without the clutch? I did it by accident driving down the road, and heard no bad sounds, but somehow it feels in my mind to be bad for my transmission. Is it?
@mrice102888 It kinda is and isn't. Non-answer, I know.
If you accidentally do it once, it's ok. You can do that without hurting the gearbox, as it's 50% of shifting without a clutch. But if you do it too roughly, or hear griding noises coming from the gearbox, that's bad.
So don't do pull your car out of gear without the clutch, as it's bad habit and can potentially damage the gearbox, but once by accident is no problem.
One other thing to learn, common laws of physics. the further the clutch releases, naturally the RPM's will drop (rotations per minute), so as the clutch releases, the rpm's start to drop, hence needing to give it a little more gas to compensate. Also, another thing: When on a hill, best way (My father taught me) for a beginner. Let the clutch out very slowly while still on the brake. You will feel the rpm's start to drop, then let off the brake slowly. The clutch should hold the car in place.
How about this for a trick? Keep the throttle fully planted and drive around town. See what your clutch control's like then while trying not to do burnouts and get the cops on your arse.
for the first part, i can do that and that's how i keep from rolling on uphill stops, but i think it's bad for the clutch to stay on it so long, bigger engines pickup quicker. i'm not sure i get the second part and whats the purpose...?
No torque, thats exactly the same with my honda crx but if i give it gas first i smell clutch, if i release the clutch at all it stalls no matter how slow and if i do it at the same time it lurches
it s pretty stupid to start driving without throttle as long as you stay with your clutch half way in it will burn out... so release it as fast as possible
not true at all, if you press the accelerator down to accelerate 'properly' it makes the clutch spin faster so yes its pressed for a shorter time but is spun faster and so potentially getting worn faster.
Think of it like this. The clutch is a friction plate which makes contact with the flywheel in varying degrees from not touching at all to completely in contact with it.
Now, if you slowly rubbed your hands up and down rope for 10 seconds, and then really quickly for 2 seconds, what would hurt more? Obviously both would, but the 2 seconds would burn you. Same concept.
wow that s a really great example;-) so sry for my question but if i start driving hit the gas to around 2100 then let the clutch come very fast i'll burn it more than if i start driving without hitting the gas?^^ never thought about it like this... thanks for your time i think ive learned a lot today :-P
Well, it's not quite that clear cut. More likely if you accelerated to 4 or 5,000 RPM and then accelerated away releasing the clutch as you go - I'm positive that would cause more wear than simply letting the clutch slowly out at a stand. Either way, both situations are superficial, if you really want to damage the clutch, try accelerating from a standstill in fifth gear using only the clutch ;)
@SPTSuperSprinter156 the faster the clutch can disengage and engage the better. its a friction material therefore riding the clutch and taking to long can burn it up.
and toward buggy try the car at 1,500 RPM most vehicles can work with that. never rev the engine up to high rpms and dump the clutch unless you want a ticket. its great for racing but is overkill for daily driving.
Using the clutch to hold the car on a hill for too long is also way more detrimental than the techniques shown in this video, because you are essentially riding the clutch the whole time against gravity and whatever speed you are revving at. Still, many driving instructors will promote it as a 'control method', of course it's okay for a short time but I've known people to do it for a minute or more. Not good.
Letting off the clutch like that in the beginning isn't very good. Sure, it works for beginners. But you'll be paying for it later when your clutch burns up.
Yes excuse me for checking your wording, i just wanted to make sure, and i understand how it is trying to make a video where you know you have 100 things to say in more or less one shot and you want it to go smoothly, and sometimes words get mixed up, but anyways i like something about that car, it just looks interesting to be behind the wheel, too bad we didnt get them here in the states
About your first question, yes, that's what I meant. I thought I said that too, but I might have worded it wrongly. It's a '96 Fiat Cinquecento Sporting. It was never available in the United States, but in Europe they're pretty common.
you've done two very good driving tutorial vids. you friend and even myslef will find this useful. I have had some lessons, but its nice to see someone making a video to teach ppl like your freind how to drive.

Dont look at the revs just listen to the engine you will soon get used to it and instinctively know when to change gear

@spec6635 score one for spur cut gears. some automatics have that(honda since they use a non-planetary transaxle)
some bmw's have spur gears in all foward gears too. they sound fierce
