How To Drive a Stick Shift

[iKnoWScopZ]

I Saw this video i was so confused until i was actually behind the wheel.

[TCMODS]

Next video is how to drive a automatic transmission.

[CnRDirt]

@Tugglzz find a car with hill assist, it keeps you from rolling backwards on hills

[Tugglzz]

I am turning sixteen soon but every body warns me about stopping on hills, can someone give me tips or suggestion for being stopped on a hill?

[ecstasyecs]

@Tugglzz you "drive" on the clutch, it takes a lot of practise for it to not start rolling backwards though.

[techfan42]

informative video but I don't think manual is suited for American roads

[Gaylordinator]

best reason to drive stick is that girls love it

[chicksfollowme]

@0415pain lol me too! :)

[riderthewake02]

lol i learned to drive Manuel in a' 83 911 sc turbo ha.

[ThatBloodyAlbo]

Im 18. I first learned how to drive a stick shift. I was about 13 yrs old and I got the hang of it easy and didnt struggle with it. Now I have a BMW 320d e46 (Stick Shift) and I love driving it! way more fun than an automatic!

[0415pain]

too bad i dont drive

[chitownsportsfan1]

Also turning 16 soon. I want to drive stick for the gas mileage, power, cheaper cars, and fun, but the problem is I cannot see myself getting used to it.

[hwesta123]

@chitownsportsfan1 It becomes second nature my friend, promise.

[ecstasyecs]

@chitownsportsfan1 it'll be as easy as walking once you get the hang of it & you never forget it either.

[nerdboy919503]

Turning 16 soon... I'll stick with automatic

[Buick97Custom]

@nerdboy919503 Dude! I'm telling you there is nothing more fun than driving a stick. I'm 17.. Been driving for two years. Plus, the ladies love a dude who can drive a stick well!

[newyork4lyf3]

Great video.

[bulktank11]

I watched this video a couple times then I went to a car that had a stick shift an drove it and I knew how to drive it. This clip is recommended if you are new to watch it couple of times.

[NinjaSuki]

Wow Good video! I learned in the amount the video just ended then i went to pratice and i was shifting as if i have already done it! Wow best Stick shift video ever!

A++

[JayC376]

like if ur on ur left elbow watching this.

[Paper27Boi]

like if youre on your right elbow watching this .

[zoedimax56]

Yo, automatics are for girls nd gays

[nintendoatarikiller]

So if I'm at at red light, and I put it in neutral, do i let go of the clutch?

[2012GST]

@nintendoatarikiller if you want to

[TheMrmaster56]

Nice Porsche....I think....

[TWIGGvsHESKEY]

@TheMrmaster56 yeah it is..i would buy that car and paint it black!!!!! I <3 porsche

[MrIucifer]

Or drive an automatic and not worry about any of this hahaha

[langhalsen]

@MrIucifer And be a faggot.

Driving manual is something everyone who drives a car should know.

What if your driving friend just got in an accident and ask you to drive his stick car?

[sl0wlerner]

COUNTY COLLEGE OF MORRIS!

[xxxUnseenSoulxxx]

@wanabtkd It makes you accelerate faster and I think it can help when towing too

[bryanmoreno2]

I love that fucked his wife

[dtfan1213]

That guy twirled his scarf like he was so happy when he fucked his wife

[desr2395]

i had no idea that i needed a car with a manual transmission to learn how to drive stick. thanks howcast!

[gnarlycs]

riding the clutch is when you don't have the clutch all the way down. not just having the clutch down a lot. it's actually better for the transmission to have the clutch all the way down instead of putting it into neutral at stops. but that is only true if you have the clutch disengaged completely (by pushing the clutch peddle down as far as it goes).

[SantaTheHo]

Or you could live in a country which isn't as lazy as America, where driving stick shifts is normal. :P

[thphaca]

They always say to balance the clutch and gas simultaneously... Yeah, that's not completely right. You have to give it a little gas BEFORE you slowly let off the clutch. If you do this, you're guaranteed not to stall. You only stall when the clutch is engaged but the engine doesn't get enough gas. For smooth shifts after 1st, just give it gas while you're shifting gears, same principle. The order is what's important.

[thweepz]

the only thing is that now sticks and automatics arent that different in gas mileage. isnt it now like only between 1-2 mpg difference?

[devafanda]

step 1: get born in sweden and get the knowledge thru your dna :)

[itelluwhat1]

depress the clutch and shift.. WTF. dont you mean press the clutch then shift

[90abcde6]

How can you learn how to drive a stick shift without a manual car? It's already understood

[Agr0pr0]

you know how to ride a motar cylcle you can drive a stick

[429mas]

@Marshmallowrex yup it happens but what someone would want to do is to hold down the clutch and brake pedal while in first gear makes it harder for the car to go back and simply start giving it gas imediately dont matter if u burn tire as long as u dont roll back and hit someone!!!!!! but i'm sure u already new that this is for beginers only!!!!!!

[MrRobby707]

keep on truckin?

[punchmaster123]

Lol at the verizon commercial

[thizguy94]

10mph in first? talk about being a pussy driver xD

[Pauolin]

@thizguy94 That's an environment-friendly driver! :D

[Jeffmey95]

1:01 getting his dick sucked and then realizes the hookers a tranny.

[MosesSB32]

@Jeffmey95 hahahahahahahaha!

[aguafinatv]

@Jeffmey95 MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM­MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM­MMIIMMMMMMMMMMMLOVEMMMMMMM TRANNIESMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

[nlesiak3]

@Jeffmey95 ROFL



[Rzar08]

@Jeffmey95 why the fuck would u mention tht??!

[superwiicrazy]

why is it called a stick shift these days? fucking queer ass people

[XxENovaxX]

@superwiicrazy It's always been called a stick shit you idiot. It's much easier to say "stick" than saying "manual transmission". Fuck you for having a dirty mind.

[n1gg3rssuck]

To dive a manual car you will need: a manual transmission car. Fuck i thought i needed a boat with an outboard...

[emello4you]

@n1gg3rssuck nigga please!

[SupremeDarkLordVader]

Thanks for the vid. I had one lesson. After watching this my next lesson will be even smoother.

[sukira21]

I've always wanted to drive a Stick...nevrmind...

[CatsAttack73]

Optional: A car

[sheMan32]

People in England primarily learn stick shit! I dont know anyone who hasnt learnt stick shift :S

[dmack5432]

I always pop the clutch how do I stop

[DrQB0Y]

that speed per gear stuff is BS. my dad drives a 2005 nsx and goes 95 in 4th so eat it howcast!

[err501]

@DrQB0Y but NSX is very far from something like average car, by a lot of people is considered one of the best made(at least highly reliable) entry range sports car.

[Mrflyman2000]

Wow learned to drive just with this video

[hertru]

Step 12: Get some girls because you know how to shit stick

[DJBudward]

Thanks! I'm going to be 16 soon and i'm going to learn automatic and shift!

[MrLexington45]

*Manual cars can have up to 7 gears. Don't forget about the Veyron and the MP4 12C!

[axlplayer14]

@MrLexington45 Those cars have either dual clutch automated manuals or just autos with manual shift option.  Not trying to put you down, just kindfully correcting your mistake.

[MrLexington45]

@axlplayer14 They have an automated clutch with pedal shifters or they are automatic.

[axlplayer14]

@MrLexington45 Just because they have paddle shifters does not mean they are manuals. Stick shifts only have up to 6 gears so far.

[TheMarkus248]

@axlplayer14 porsche just came out with a 7 speed manual! lmao

[axlplayer14]

@TheMarkus248 On which car?

[TheMarkus248]

@axlplayer14 on the 2012 911, its not technically on sale yet, but its been confirmed that it does have 7 speed manual. (a proper, stickshift, three pedals on the floor one).

[axlplayer14]

@TheMarkus248 I checked it out myself and you are correct. Thanks for the new info.

[MrTeamDigimon]

I wouldn't be surprise to learn that the guy in the video is gay

[iPodkiD4967]

2500 rpm is too high, you will end up spinning your wheels.

[fledgehog]

"better gas mileage..."

*shoots to image of a porsche*

[jumpingmonkeys2]

Is that the smosh sign

[MrSnIpEr000001]

Any chance of an American version?

[ChuKhanh]

step 1: wear a scarf

step 2: swing the scar around your neck in a dramatic fashion bc it looks cool.

[SacSick]

@ChuKhanh you forgot the sunglasses

[rodneysayshi]

question: what do i do when i approach a steep hill on 3rd or 4th gear but a car infront of me is super slow so my speed decends? down shift? 

[2southworthvj]

@rodneysayshi yes change down

[ilovekars]

how do i get it to a parking lot if i cant drive it lol ;)

[hotdogman67]

@ilovekars

Lol. That's the exact same concern I have. XD

[ilovekars]

@hotdogman67 ahaah im like theres a problem here

[halo3pownstar6199999]

Why am I watching this? My Girlferind Drive a stick. So I'll just ask her.

[KUSHnB00TS]

@halo3pownstar6199999 so you dont have to rely on your girl to get from one place to another

[freshdelly26]

how the fuck do i get to an empty parking lot if i dont know how to drive stick shift?

[LokoChase]

@freshdelly26 Have someone drive your dumb ass there. 

[RobotFunk509]

@freshdelly26 hahahahahaha

damn thats fucking funny hahah

[MustNotWatch]

@freshdelly26 rofl

[rimwydas44]

@freshdelly26 Ask a friend who knows, if you have one

[429mas]

@freshdelly26 haha find someone who knows how to drive manual to take u their!!!!!!!

[429mas]

@freshdelly26 or u could tow it to the empty parking lot LOL!!!!!!!! but good question accually the best question i've seen so far in all these how to drive a stick on u tube

[skeetskeetbangbang99]

@freshdelly26 roflmao RIGHT?!

[fusion90]

LOL! I'm from england and I came across this because I was watching jersey shore and snooki had to drive stick?! I've now realised that it means manual. Hahahahaha I thought everyone learnt to drive with manual...

[AirportCS]

Very helpful! Thanks for teaching all these steps.

[kcham35334]

I only clutch it when I get it to move :D Floating gears on a standard is fun stuff. I don't know why :D:D Maybe it makes me feel somewhat superior to all the other drivers out there haha

[OfficialRenoUtube]

@kcham35334 hahah i was driving stick shift for the first time today changing gears is fun and easy lol

[kcham35334]

@OfficialRenoUtube Oh yeah! Changing gears is a cake walk! :D My first car was a standard. 1981 Toyota Landcruiser haha. 4 speed. Top speed of 82 mph...observed haha. Now I drive a newer car. 2000 Honda Prelude...4 speed auto. Speedo goes to 150 lol but it's not near as fun to drive as that old truck...

[OfficialRenoUtube]

@kcham35334 o yeah i was driving a 1998 Dodge Neon i only drove it till 3 gear didnt go 4 or 5th the hardest part was going to first gear after that shifting was easy

[ChrisGuitarSmith]

@TheHornyHomunculus Thanks man, I'm considering buying a manual and if I had to gradually shift down every-time I'd probably go insane : ]

[JoanaL1994]

Thank goodness I learned how to drive in America! Automatics are simple and easy to drive. And yes I am European but still have to learn how to drive with a stick shift car =P

[hejjagedu]

@WoOSprintCars AdBlock <- use to skip all ads, unlike other retards

[ChrisGuitarSmith]

One question, Obviously if your trying to cut across to the other side of a 2-way road you have to shift up really fast (TO GET UP TO SPEED), but what if you have to stop in the middle/turning lane to wait for traffic to clear, do you have to shift all the way back down to first gear really quickly in order to stop completely? (Sounds dangerous)??

[TheHornyHomunculus]

@ChrisGuitarSmith You would shift from 5th to 1st. You dont have to go through the gears in sequence.

[cabbagesftw]

Fuck that I dont downshift every time I come to a stop

[SportzFanatic15]

Lucky I have an automatic :)

[AycheWood]

I'm getting a manual transmission! Super excited! :D

[ATVFB]

i just realized how shit all the videos from how cast are.....u need a manual transmission car

[ninendowii2000]

oh wow any idiot who needs this video shouldnt be on the road to begin with

[sniperbait171]

how the fuck do you get to the parking lot without driving there asshole

[SomeApplesauce]

@sniperbait171 take the car apart and carry each piece to the parking lot. put it back together.

[Ironman9780]

CCM is where that was recorded

[bladekyle2010]

LOL, "you will need a car with a manual transmission"! Nah, Really? No shit!

[sublimeguide]

@bladekyle2010 They have missed to add '"For Dummies"in the title apparently :D

[KamikazeScarecrows]

ive been driving stick since i was 8 years old, i drove my papaws old truck on the farm all the time, I also learned how to drive his rig when I was 15... I find it humorous when people dont know how, when i jump in automatics ill find myself reaching for the clutch and shifter lol

[violentred8149]

@KamikazeScarecrows

Not all people learn at a young age, since technically it -is- illegal. Also, many many people drive automatic cars, and never take the time to learn how to use a manual transmission.

[KamikazeScarecrows]

@violentred8149 well i know this but its still a good laugh lol

[Bestgameplayer10]

I'd be surprised if they didn't have a video on how to turn your TV on.

[Drifter425]

"Locate the cruch, which is on the floor"

[Shawn199816]

shouldnt you change gears by rpm not by speed?

[MONEYMAN101ish]

Are all the cars in america automatic?

[LearnToTurn7]

@MONEYMAN101ish no, they do still make stick shift cars for the U.S. market, but the manual/automatic relationship is pretty much opposite of the european and other world market(s). I wish they would make more manuals, it's a heckuva lot more fun to drive than automatics.

P.S. my dad's vehicles that he's owned for himself (over 30+ years) have all been stick.

[LeetModz]

@MONEYMAN101ish

Not all. You can get manual ford mustangs. I bet there's lots more manuals too.

[2kapufa]

hint:

for your comfort when learning, wear some light and thin shoes, instead of such steel plated labour-safety DocMarten's boots...

[KrazyyCoreyy]

lol 00.44 - 00.47 = DICK SUCK TIME

[micah1121]

LOL at step 3 looks like hes getting his dick sucked LOL, also in the begining that scarf flip was really faggey

[travis7310]

OK, I'm almost 21, and I'm just now learning how to drive. My best friend taught me in her boyfriend's car, which is an automatic, and I was like "Wow, this is easy. I'm actually driving!" She gave a 6 on a 1-10 scale. :)

Today, my mom was teaching me how to drive her car, which is manual, and I'm like "Oh, fuck, I have no clue what the fuck I'm doing!"

[TheYoubook]

I'm only 16 but i can drive a manual transmission car... you have to have more practice and patience to drive.... but now I'm practicing to learn more...

[LluviaLuna13]

fml my dad has a manual car -__- so i have to learn it too..sigh* for being a girl, stick shift would be a major accomplishment ;D Lol! but its fukn scary..and my legs are shaky Dx and learning in LA ..fml!

[xxlxxjustinxxlxx]

What if my car is still in first gear at 45 mph? ;)

[yayatCHILLZ]

@xxlxxjustinxxlxx depends on how many rpm's you're at, if it's near/hit the redline your engine will get overheated and might blow up.

[narutogum22]

@xxlxxjustinxxlxx well then sir you mustve hacked your car jk

[itsmeTIBOR]

@xxlxxjustinxxlxx then you have a Lamborghini ;)

[KUSHnB00TS]

@xxlxxjustinxxlxx then i want your car haha

[SacSick]

@xxlxxjustinxxlxx how in the world would it be at 45 first gear is 0-15mph

[ledzeppelin4892000]

@SacSick It really depends on the car

[122chucknorris]

@xxlxxjustinxxlxx then u got a lambo, or ur engines melting

[LuxuriousLuxembourg]

@xxlxxjustinxxlxx then u own an exotic F1 lol

[Folcation]

@xxlxxjustinxxlxx kaboom

[thevideovlogger]

@xxlxxjustinxxlxx Then you have an Audi R8.

[sheMan32]

@xxlxxjustinxxlxx it will stall. :|

[Kamohawk22]

@xxlxxjustinxxlxx then you got a fast fuckin car

[ppjdbsjai12332]

no shit i thought pressing the gas would make u stop thank you how cast

[SeikoSteele]

Hold on, wouldn't you need a driver's license too?

[CGandjboyProductions]

The gear range info should not be put up. Different speeds depends on the type of car.

[ImEuanAndIGotsSkeelz]

first driving lesson today, stick shift, first ever go in a car and didnt stall it once so im kinda happy bout that :P its crazy here in the uk though we have probably the hardest test in the western world, we're a nation of safety freaks, so crap.

[ubersteigen]

All of that bullshit!? For fuck sake!!..Why would they even still make stick-shifts!? Whats the fuckin' point!?

Seems like a serious fuckin' pain in the dick!

[PurpleSkilll]

this is very informative

[UnstableCore]

Wait, You mean to tell me the steering levers in my car are outdated?

[letsgobassfishin]

how to drive a stick shift.....you will need 1.) a manual transmission...no shit dumb fuck!

[zuggerpest]

mannnn how did i get here

[icanskatebetterthanu]

Well I find it easier to slowly release the clutch until the car starts to roll on the clutch alone then just give it some gas and release the clutch completely

[Snortthesweetener]

Step 1: Be European.

Congratulations!

[CAAfterMath]

@Snortthesweetener lol tru

[mgardiner2725]

@Snortthesweetener So so true.

[JesusColoredCrayons]

THIS IS SO HARD D:

[collinbpeep]

oh damn i thought it said DICK SHIFT!...... I was gonna show my gf this!

[NickiKawaii]

@collinbpeep hahaha

[PriceTveyron]

That guy was very entertaining.

[indianz93]

This is the best explanation on YouTube I could find

[BreezyRice]

pretty sure the guy isn't gay

[desr2395]

wait you need a car with a manual tranny? DAMMIT i was gonna learn how to drive a standard in my automatic! and shifting at 2500 is for GIRLS! redline all the time!

[yusuf980]

@desr2395 yeah redline all the time

[desr2395]

wait you need a car with a manual tranny? DAMMIT i was gonna learn how to drive a standard in my automatic!

[heartlessvietboy]

I am speaking because I want to let you guys know how Relaxing and Fresh Air it Feels to be Driving an Automatic after you've driven a Stick Shift for the rest of your life because somebody sold it to The Population as something Masculine and Cool to drive. From my experience, It's tiring and old technology.

[ivanlagrossemoule]

@heartlessvietboy Well, it is actually fun to fool around with a manual car. But if you just drive to go somewhere an automatic would be the best choice.

[heartlessvietboy]

While going at a speed of 10 mph, shifting gears with the windows down is pretty cool. You feel the the soft bone from the bottom of the gear. Because of Parking, traffic and stop signs you feel relaxing in an automatic. You just turn the wheel and go forward.

[Nfsguy32]

When he listed off what you need he should have added arms and legs.

[DGKmr]

wait. but how do you park

[yusuf980]

@DGKmr put the stick into neutral

pull e-brake up and your good to go

[MurryEB]

i have a doberman pincher, hes awesome

[ZackMiranda10]

yeahhhh ccm

[firstpick09]

I have A spaceship 5.0,Its awesome, lol

[Dennemark]

1:50

[mfsradrumma]

@Dennemark this should be in top comments lol
