Sorry for the noob question but I have a concern. I'm scared that I'll shift from 2nd to 1st when trying to reach 3rd. When you up shift, do you have to shift diagonal up or do you just throw it straight up and it goes into third by itself? Do you have any tips on how much we should shift to the right more?
If you are in say sixth gear and want to just stop and not turn or anything...do you have to downshift thru all of the gears sequentially or can u like throw it in first with the clutch depressed and just come to a complete stop? Plz respond ASAP
@Yfz450Rider1995 The proper and normal way to brake, no matter what gear, is to brake in your current gear until your RPM/engine speed reaches around 900-1000 RPM (stalling point). Continue braking like normal to a complete stop as you switch out of your current gear into neutral.
wow amazing vid :) Thank you ! will like to more from you ...
I have taken the first ever driving class today :D what the stupid thing I was doing is I left the clutch so quickly and press the accelerator so what happened that I had to start my car again :(
@eddx56 the faster you let off the clutch, the harsher you are making the tranny engage the engine, meaning the engagement wont be as smooth. if youve ever seen drag racing, the drivers as letting off the clutch as fast as they can, called "popping" the clutch. less out of gear time, but really harsh and not smooth.
Thanks man this vid helps! I've only practiced a stick in my brothers 03 GT lol which wasn't fun.. I've got it pretty much except for getting the car to move initially. Shifting after that is a breeze. But that is because my brother didn't tell me I needed to hold the clutch at the spot when it engages! I would always continue to depress it slowly. And stall half the time lol. So thanks a lot man!
You should add a caption in your video that says, "Pressing down on the clutch while engaging the starter is a US-mandatory safety feature." In other parts of the world, like where yours truly is from, there is no "Clutch Switch". You can start the engine with no feet on any pedals, so pre-checking that you're really in Neutral is vital.
There's a factory dash cut-out on my G20 where a button switch to disengage the Clutch Switch can go. Now if only someone knew how to wire the thing...
I feel stupid for asking, but when you are coming unto a red light or a stop sign, do you just press on the break only to stop and then press the clutch and shift to first gear? or do you press both the clutch and break to stop then let go of the break and shift to first gear while you press the clutch? I am sorry, I am a beginner that is why. :)
@asmileisbeautiful my driving teacher in germany always told me to press both, because with an "activated clutch" you can't crash, in case you have to stop immediately. (stopping car in front of you, kid runnin on the streets etc.) he also told me, my left foot has to be glued on the clutch whatever happens. it was a good advise for me personally. so my right foot is only for the gas and the break, cause that way you never can break or accelerate at the same time, in case of panic. good luck :)
@asmileisbeautiful You should just stay in your current gear and just continue braking until you almost reach stalling point (around 900-1000 RPMs). When you're at that point, continue braking as normal, but then clutch in and shift to neutral as reach the stop.
Never clutch in for the whole entire process. You want the engine to be engaged with the transmission so it can help you brake (by engine compression) and puts less wear on your brake pads.
@LastXdeth beginning was right but then end is a no no. Brake pads are cheaper than a clutch or transmission. You never let the engine slow you down this isnt a semi truck.
@cody5002005 What in the world are you talking about? The steps I posted above are the proper and driver's ed way to slow down to the stop. It has relatively no wear on the clutch until you shift out to neutral. Do you know how dangerous it is to rely on the brake pads? They can potentially overheat to extremly high temperatures. External braking combined with engine braking ensures less wear on both clutch and brake pads.
@LastXdeth what do automatic cars rely on? It's not the engine, considering they stay in a higher gear unless your on the throttle. It is not dangerous and your brakes aren't going to overheat unless you drive like an idiot or are circuit racing.
@cody5002005 I believe you misunderstood me. I did not say to rely ONLY on engine braking. Let me rephrase what I was trying to explain to the guy: use both engine braking (by staying in your current gear) and simultaneously foot braking.
@LastXdeth okay that sounds better. ive just seen people rely completely on engine braking like coming down a hill at 50 to a stop and just downshifting the whole time to slow down. Now that is not good.
@asmileisbeautiful you only need to press the brakes to stop the car. usually once you get below 1000rpms you need to take the car out of gear either by pressing in the clutch and shifting into neutral or by just pressing in the clutch. its best to have the clutch pressed in as little as possible for example if your coming to a red light you shouldnt sit in first with the clutch engaged the whole time as it causes premature wear on the clutch.
I was wondering that when i start roling in my car, i just let the clutch out slowly and have my right foot give it the same amount of gas like in a mirror action, and in your video, you taught that the clutch should stop at the point of engagement, and then roll off. Will that be better for the car and is that just a habit or a way that some people are taught? Thx
@iFuxBryan14 mirror action wouldnt be the best and the reason being is because all clutches engage at different points and if you are on a hill you need to give the engine more gas to move. it just takes practice cause most people let of the clutch to quick and dont give it enough gas and stall the car.
When you're shifting between gears, lets say 2-3. You let off the gas and push the clutch all the way and then shift, when you're doing the seesaw movement (gas in clutch out) does the point in which it engages different than shifting between 1-2? Basically when I'm letting out the clutch will it catch at all the same places from gears 1-2 2-3 and so on?
@aznxdope yeah the engagement point is the same for all gears. you wont have to put as much effort into gears 2-6 because the car is already moving, so you basically cant stall.
I just bought a 2006 with 21,000miles on it and I had never even drivin stick but once... The sti is a hard car to learn on opposed to a mazda miata. I got kinda pissed last night cause I stalled like 15 times driving the car for the first time going from neutral to first & trying to find the sweet spot on this clutch, lucky I was only in a parking lot at 1:00am :) Im going out in a few hours and gonna try this again after watching this video
good vid, i know know how to drive stick (im very bored very late) so it was fine for me, but obviously someone would who is a complete beginner could have probably used some more information. regarding you comment about upshifting, the shift from first to second is probably the hardest one to do! because of the large difference in gear ratio from first to second, it is the most difficult shift to get smooth
@dany55655 normally youd want to shift around 3-3.5k, but it all depends on how you want to drive the car. if you want to push it, go 5-6k, but thats the beauty of being able to control the car, you do what you want
fro the record i never driven stick except one time in my buddies 08 335xi twin turbo coupe with 310 horses, and i never had any experience before and i rolled it perfectly, point im getting to is if itl seem like alot at first everyone stalls a couple times while learning, itl get easier over time
@nukem384: I learned how to drive stick on my 2003 Subaru WRX when it was new. My buddy who taught me DROVE IT OFF THE DEALER LOT cause I didnt know a thing about driving a manual at the time. These days Im good at it lol. Great vid.
First video that actually helped me get out of first cause really that's the trick to a manual. Everything else is pretty much a no brainer :/. Thanks! :D
cant wait till i can finally get my hands on a Manual...ive been forced to drive auto ever since my license because No dealerships in a 80 mile radius sells them, -same with used.- now i just need to find a used car to start off with. :)
hey nukem ,can u make a video on how to drive up driveways and like aprons to gas stations ect. i can drive the car but i dont know how to go up slowly without jerking/stalling . my car is slammed..dont wanna scrap my lip
in the UK, 99% of people learn to drive in a manual, because if you do an automatic test here, you can't drive a manual, but if you do manual test you can drive anything. besides, "driving stick" aint hard.
@Red83ua Not entirely true, sir. You can brake without holding down the clutch, but you need to hold down the clutch if you brake alot (i.e, you do not want the car to stall), and most likely change to a lower gear to re-engage the engine, pick up speed and from there go up to a higher gear once you catch some speed.
THANK YOU, IM GOIN TO LOOC AT AN 06 WRX, AND I KNOW THE BASICS ON STICK BUT THIS CAR HAS A BIT MORE POWER THEN HONDAS SO THANKS ILL NEED THIS FOR THE TEST DRIVE
i drove my my11 sti for a year now but when i put it in 2nd from 1st the car will jug forward like i let the clutch out too soon, but if i let it go bit later it still felt the same...
I'm confused /: , in other tutorials, some people say, ease off the clutch FIRST, and then when you feel your engine dying down, that's when you step on the gas..
In your tutorial, you stepped on the gas first, and then eased off the clutch. ?? Does it matterr? or no?
@silent0snipe4 if you let the car die down first, you run a way higher risk of stalling the car. all a matter of opinion, but i think my way is much better and safer for the car.
@nukem384 but that way woudn't work if your on a up hill. Let out the clutch first until the engine change it's sound then add gas and slowly remove clutch,.
@nukem384 i tried this method a few years ago when i was learning to drive my wrx and the clutch started to burn as there was a really bad buring rubber smell, better method is finding the friction point first and give it little gas as possible when letting the clutch out without stalling, so the clutch isnt being ridden too much.
@nukem384 but if you do it that way, you are burning the clutch. don't do that, i rather stall then burn the clutch because its more expensive to replace the clutch then to stall the car.
@nukem384 Actually if you rev the engine up first and let the clutch up after you will tear the clutch faster than if you do the other way around. I drive a Dacia Logan 1.6 8v (really slow engine) and its very easy to stall with. I haven't driven many other cars but im pretty shure its way harder to stall with a more powerful engine if you let the clutch up first and give gas after.
@nukem384 I agree aspecially with a more sporty car the clutch is going to be more "sticky" which means you need higher RPMs to actually get the car moving without it stalling out. Also if you were to do it the other way; let the car "die down" before you use gas, you will see what is in the movies where the car kind of bounces or jerks real bad.
@silent0snipe4 it basically doesn't matter. giving it a little gas first is a little easier though, IMO. Usually I just give it gas and let out the clutch at the same time.
@silent0snipe4 its good at first to just put it in 1st and let off the clutch till engagement point till the car starts to roll just a bit. dont let off all the way though. without gas it will still. this will help u get used to where the clutch grab point is. than its a matter of timing up when u let off the clutch to when u press the gas/ how much u press it to engage 1st. its all timing. like he said, the pedals are inversly perportional. 1 goes up while 1 goes down. i drive an 07 sti ^_^
@silent0snipe4 no problem. btw, i have 2 stick lesson vids on my channel. not this one im writing u from though. this one i post guitar vids. my other one. channel name: panzerth
@kevery12 it depends on the clutch. some clutches do grip pretty high. youll know if your clutch is dying if its not grabbing when you push the car a bit. and no, it shouldnt be leaking oil.
@kevery12 yo my first car was a a4 too, 98 tho and i had the same thing going on, but the difference is my clutch was broke ~~. But even with the new cluth its a bit "late" so dont worry, add more gas and have a good day :)
@kevery12 ahhh, 04 a4.. i use to have one but i had a fully built s line... anyways, if it's a stock clutch it's probably burnt out or its an un sprung clutch usually put in for racing. & as for leaking oil at the tranny, it's a common problem on those gen a4's and i can 110% guarantee to you it's the rear main seal just worn out, not something you should really worry about right then & there unless it's more than a few drips a day but get it fixed before it becomes a problem.
nice video man :) btw, do you guys feel switching gears are more jerky in a manual car than in an automatic? or do you think with a good driver, someone driving stick can shift as smooth as an automatic car? someone reply plz :)
@INumba1Stunna if youre really good, you can shift a manual smooth without jerking the car. it takes a lot of practice and finesse though. if im driving around by myself, could care less and jerk the car all day cause im lazy haha.
@nukem384 In older cars with cable clutches jerking can actually slowly mess with that cable, but i agree a little jerking is fine aslong as it isnt constant jerkin instead of just like one jerk(normal)
What I was taught was that when u brake u step on break first and then clutch and when fully stopped u switch to neutral and release clutch while still holding break. Is this true is it necesarry to step on break first and then clutch? I was also told when I turn to step on break before turn first nd then depress clutch after to downshift and release break and last clutch? Is this true? Basically I was told break always comes before clutch by my instructor but Im confused since u do the opossite
@nukem384 Thats what I thought but the lady who gave me a two hour lesson kept on saying it was bad for the clutch to be pressed before brake, that the brake always came first. I dont really trust her too much since I asked her to show me how to heel toe shift and she didnt even know that existed. So I can brake then clutch and then put back into neutral and release clutch on a full stop? How do u normally do it? Thanks and nice car. Im learning to hopefully buy the 2011 WRX for my 21st bday.
@youngkhmeralexandre go in a empty parking lot and practice, figure out where the engagement point is on your car and practice alot when i first started i was really slow at it, but overtime you start to learn where your engagement point is and for me i can let out the clutch fast until it the clutch starts to grab the gear then that is when you want to let out the clutch slow and give it gas.
@aguichris you still would downshift, but it all depends on the situation and how much you slow down. knowing when to downshift usually comes with practice, but if youre lugging the car, you need to downshift
You know when you stop you hit the clutch and put it on neutral and then hit break after that you have to start from first all over again and do the foot thing cuz doing first for me is hard
@MrSchmidtification usually if you have to quickly stop, hit the clutch and just start over from scratch. it all depends on the situation, not exactly sure what youre referring to, but disengaging the engine and starting over is best.
I'm confused, do you still have to counter act your clutch and your gas pedal for 2nd gear and up? i figured after the 1st gear you didn't have to do that and you can just let go of the clutch and give it some gas.
@CwazyIndian yeah thats correct. once you get the car moving, you technically dont even need to put any gas in to change gears, altho the engagement will be quite rough and its not very good for the tranny
@nukem384 Shifting into gear without gas shouldn't hurt anything if you get your timing right with letting off the clutch. You just need to know how fast your revs fall and when to catch them for the next gear. That's also the key to clutchless shifting. So ya, no gas necessary for a smooth shift.
very good video i really like that multicam set up. However i would touch on key points like friction point and revmatching while downshifting.
Also when starting from 1st gear. u gave it around 2k rpm and the car hooked up (clutch at friction point) no need to give it more gas, once the hookup is complete clutch can be taken out fully.
LOL if you can drive a stick wrx or sti, you can drive anything, i remember when i got my 07 wrx the clutch was heavy as hell, still have it and it runs awesome!
This actually really helped!! Thanks! I like that trick where you hold the clutch at that point that it engages, then give it a bit more gas. I haven't heard of that one before, so thanks!
This vid brings me back some good ol' memories. LOL. I had my older brother teaching me how to drive my 1987 Mustang GT 5 spd. I bought back in 1998. He use to get so frustrated with me, becuase I use to stall the damn thing every single time, so he quit on me. What did I do? I use to go out late at night between 1 and 2am ( less traffic ofcourse ) and basically taught myself in my neighbourhood where I lived. Now here's the part I feared the most? Red lights on uphill and the guy behind me. :)
When I first began learning stick, I felt like kicking the person teaching me in the head and said this method of driving a car is so stupid. Just give me an automatic, simple. Then things changed. Now I will drive a stick till the day I die. No wussy paddle shifters either. The amount of control stick gives you is amazing.

in the UK, 99% of people learn to drive in a manual, because if you do an automatic test here, you can't drive a manual, but if you do manual test you can drive anything. besides, "driving stick" aint hard.

Red83ua 4 months ago
@Red83ua Not entirely true, sir. You can brake without holding down the clutch, but you need to hold down the clutch if you brake alot (i.e, you do not want the car to stall), and most likely change to a lower gear to re-engage the engine, pick up speed and from there go up to a higher gear once you catch some speed.

I'm confused /: , in other tutorials, some people say, ease off the clutch FIRST, and then when you feel your engine dying down, that's when you step on the gas..
In your tutorial, you stepped on the gas first, and then eased off the clutch. ?? Does it matterr? or no?
silent0snipe4 4 months ago
@silent0snipe4 if you let the car die down first, you run a way higher risk of stalling the car. all a matter of opinion, but i think my way is much better and safer for the car.

@nukem384 all right, thanks. :)
silent0snipe4 4 months ago
@nukem384 but that way woudn't work if your on a up hill. Let out the clutch first until the engine change it's sound then add gas and slowly remove clutch,.
lespaulguitarist92 3 months ago
@nukem384 i tried this method a few years ago when i was learning to drive my wrx and the clutch started to burn as there was a really bad buring rubber smell, better method is finding the friction point first and give it little gas as possible when letting the clutch out without stalling, so the clutch isnt being ridden too much.
sgh102 3 months ago
@nukem384 but if you do it that way, you are burning the clutch. don't do that, i rather stall then burn the clutch because its more expensive to replace the clutch then to stall the car.
touayamg84 3 months ago
@nukem384 Actually if you rev the engine up first and let the clutch up after you will tear the clutch faster than if you do the other way around. I drive a Dacia Logan 1.6 8v (really slow engine) and its very easy to stall with. I haven't driven many other cars but im pretty shure its way harder to stall with a more powerful engine if you let the clutch up first and give gas after.
Oyzzzter 2 months ago
@nukem384 I agree aspecially with a more sporty car the clutch is going to be more "sticky" which means you need higher RPMs to actually get the car moving without it stalling out. Also if you were to do it the other way; let the car "die down" before you use gas, you will see what is in the movies where the car kind of bounces or jerks real bad.
D3adlySnip3rr 2 months ago
@silent0snipe4 it basically doesn't matter. giving it a little gas first is a little easier though, IMO. Usually I just give it gas and let out the clutch at the same time.
jxrst9 4 months ago
@silent0snipe4 its good at first to just put it in 1st and let off the clutch till engagement point till the car starts to roll just a bit. dont let off all the way though. without gas it will still. this will help u get used to where the clutch grab point is. than its a matter of timing up when u let off the clutch to when u press the gas/ how much u press it to engage 1st. its all timing. like he said, the pedals are inversly perportional. 1 goes up while 1 goes down. i drive an 07 sti ^_^

I just bought my 1st car, an 04 Audi A4 and i'm wondering why does my "clutch or gears" "not catch" until i almost let out the clutch the whole way.
Does this mean my clutch is about done with or you think it's normal ?
1 more thing do manual Trans. car drip a little oil on a regular basis or do i have a Leak ?
kevery12 4 months ago
@kevery12 it depends on the clutch. some clutches do grip pretty high. youll know if your clutch is dying if its not grabbing when you push the car a bit. and no, it shouldnt be leaking oil.
nukem384 4 months ago
@kevery12 yo my first car was a a4 too, 98 tho and i had the same thing going on, but the difference is my clutch was broke ~~. But even with the new cluth its a bit "late" so dont worry, add more gas and have a good day :)
RzA5 3 months ago
@kevery12 ahhh, 04 a4.. i use to have one but i had a fully built s line... anyways, if it's a stock clutch it's probably burnt out or its an un sprung clutch usually put in for racing. & as for leaking oil at the tranny, it's a common problem on those gen a4's and i can 110% guarantee to you it's the rear main seal just worn out, not something you should really worry about right then & there unless it's more than a few drips a day but get it fixed before it becomes a problem.

@INumba1Stunna if youre really good, you can shift a manual smooth without jerking the car. it takes a lot of practice and finesse though. if im driving around by myself, could care less and jerk the car all day cause im lazy haha.

@nukem384 In older cars with cable clutches jerking can actually slowly mess with that cable, but i agree a little jerking is fine aslong as it isnt constant jerkin instead of just like one jerk(normal)

nukem384 5 months ago
What I was taught was that when u brake u step on break first and then clutch and when fully stopped u switch to neutral and release clutch while still holding break. Is this true is it necesarry to step on break first and then clutch? I was also told when I turn to step on break before turn first nd then depress clutch after to downshift and release break and last clutch? Is this true? Basically I was told break always comes before clutch by my instructor but Im confused since u do the opossite

nukem384 5 months ago
@nukem384 Thats what I thought but the lady who gave me a two hour lesson kept on saying it was bad for the clutch to be pressed before brake, that the brake always came first. I dont really trust her too much since I asked her to show me how to heel toe shift and she didnt even know that existed. So I can brake then clutch and then put back into neutral and release clutch on a full stop? How do u normally do it? Thanks and nice car. Im learning to hopefully buy the 2011 WRX for my 21st bday.

@youngkhmeralexandre go in a empty parking lot and practice, figure out where the engagement point is on your car and practice alot when i first started i was really slow at it, but overtime you start to learn where your engagement point is and for me i can let out the clutch fast until it the clutch starts to grab the gear then that is when you want to let out the clutch slow and give it gas.

@aguichris you still would downshift, but it all depends on the situation and how much you slow down. knowing when to downshift usually comes with practice, but if youre lugging the car, you need to downshift

when u drive stick in reverse gear, do u just tap the gas a little and continue to keep the clutch in friction point so it creeps.

@TruAzn100 reverse is the exact same thing as 1st gear, just backwards.
nukem384 6 months ago
@nukem384 well in reverse, i heard ur never fully releasing the clutch when ur backing up most often. so ur clutch is always at friction point
TruAzn100 6 months ago
@TruAzn100 thats true and false. just depends how fast youre going. once you start practicing, youll know which to do in that situation.

MrSchmidtification 7 months ago
@MrSchmidtification usually if you have to quickly stop, hit the clutch and just start over from scratch. it all depends on the situation, not exactly sure what youre referring to, but disengaging the engine and starting over is best.
nukem384 7 months ago
I'm confused, do you still have to counter act your clutch and your gas pedal for 2nd gear and up? i figured after the 1st gear you didn't have to do that and you can just let go of the clutch and give it some gas.
CwazyIndian 7 months ago
@CwazyIndian yeah thats correct. once you get the car moving, you technically dont even need to put any gas in to change gears, altho the engagement will be quite rough and its not very good for the tranny
nukem384 7 months ago
@nukem384 Shifting into gear without gas shouldn't hurt anything if you get your timing right with letting off the clutch. You just need to know how fast your revs fall and when to catch them for the next gear. That's also the key to clutchless shifting. So ya, no gas necessary for a smooth shift.

angelo6394 7 months ago
very good video i really like that multicam set up. However i would touch on key points like friction point and revmatching while downshifting.
Also when starting from 1st gear. u gave it around 2k rpm and the car hooked up (clutch at friction point) no need to give it more gas, once the hookup is complete clutch can be taken out fully.

This vid brings me back some good ol' memories. LOL. I had my older brother teaching me how to drive my 1987 Mustang GT 5 spd. I bought back in 1998. He use to get so frustrated with me, becuase I use to stall the damn thing every single time, so he quit on me. What did I do? I use to go out late at night between 1 and 2am ( less traffic ofcourse ) and basically taught myself in my neighbourhood where I lived. Now here's the part I feared the most? Red lights on uphill and the guy behind me. :)

When I first began learning stick, I felt like kicking the person teaching me in the head and said this method of driving a car is so stupid. Just give me an automatic, simple. Then things changed. Now I will drive a stick till the day I die. No wussy paddle shifters either. The amount of control stick gives you is amazing.
