@andre53211 hahaha if that was directed towards me then you must be an idiot.

@SuperThirstyfish Oh and also, not only were you incorrect in the way that you "quoted" me, you also didn't quote what I said correctly. Again, thanks for the comment and view. :)

@rcflite OMFG where do u fucking come from? let me guess USA :D:D:D?

@jptube21 Modern cars use no fuel while coasting in gear, compared to neutral when they need a little to keep the engine at idle. Also takes away engine braking thus putting more wear on the brakes.
-
@GTI6speed Do you have to press down the brake and the clutch to completely stop the car?
-
Okay, so i put shift my car into\ neutral when im coming to a traffic light stop, Do I have to still press the clutch when im about to use the brake?
-
@rcflite put it on neutral and just coast till you reach the stop sign. Saves A LOT of gas
-
@aznxdope Why would you want to do all the work? And plus, everytime you shift, you put wear on the clutch. Yes...the clutch is designed to wear, but you can minimize it by limiting its use. If you're going to completely stop, the most proper way (the way that the driving schools teach) is to stay in current gear and brake until you're almost about to stall, and then shift to netrual as you conitnue braking to a complete stop.

@GTI6speed PLEASE a hill video!!! Hills piss me off!!! Why can't the world be flat?
-
@LastXdeth What if I downshift to second all the time and brake to almost a stop and hit the clutch in to neutral or first?
-
@acmmisfit Haha, I know how you feel. Today was the first day I drove on busy streets with my Z and it was kind of nerve racking!!! It took me like 5 seconds after the light turned green to get the car rolling, and downshifting was a little rough. My left leg was shaking uncontrollably, but thankfully nobody honked!!!

Bro idk if you were like me when you first started driving stick, but damn, i tried practicing today for the first time with my bmw 328i and stalled so many times, cars behind me were passing me and driving with my dad wasnt the most pleasnt thing, i just want to get the hang of it but seems impossible :/
I'm getting the '12 gti next week, my first manual :) im wondering through.. how do you typically brake? press clutch down then brake or do you shift into neutral (without clutch) and then brake? and thanks for the videos :)

@rcflite What's best is to brake like you would in an automatic car and clutch in when you're about to stall. That way if you need to keep moving you can downshift real quick and be on your way. I'm lazy so I put it in neutral right as I begin braking for a stop sign or red light.

@miranda1984ify Pull into the garage in 1st gear really slowly just kind of balancing the clutch and gas. Once you're pulled up far enough and you're going slow enough, push the clutch in and the brake. Pull up the e-brake and keep the clutch in and kill the engine and you can release the clutch and brake. Be extra careful in a garage when you first start driving. One slip up can send you flying into a wall.

@miranda1984ify To slow down and turn, brake like you would in an AT car and when you're down to about 1k RPM, clutch in and downshift. Easy as that.

Pls make another video starting off a hill. I always seem to do a lil burn out. And when shifting gears upward i notice my rpm goes sky rocket high. How do I prevent that?

@Tymebandeet If it doesn't rain this weekend, I really will. I FINALLY got a new card reader so I can upload stuff. You're either doing one of two things; 1: Riding the clutch and giving way too much gas (which if in a car with enough torque you'll spin the tires rather easily) or 2: Letting out the clutch too much and giving too much gas. It's something that takes practice. Once you get your method down you're good.
