zach actually that's not entirely true within itself. I have a truck that the shifter actually goes directly inside the transmission and moves the gears around. The transmission actually comes up inside the cab so you can actually see this when you're driving. If you rest your hand on the shifter it will wear out the gears and the forks on the end of the shifter plus it can actually cause the gears to grind together. It's that style transmission where the thought of resting your hand on the shift is bad originally is from. Granted that's one of the first transmission designes that was popular. The idea is still there even with the new ones as it does put extra force on bushings and other parts.

So I agree with one and two. Point 3, you're right on keeping your foot off the clutch unless you're about to use it but there's little to no harm in keeping your hand on the shifter except that it's not otherwise on the wheel. Sure there's some greater than zero chance you could inadvertently throw your trans out of gear but a gear selector is a type of toggle mechanism. That means it takes a lot of movement up top to get a much smaller movement down in the guts of the transmission below. If you aren't jerking your hand around while your hand is on the shifter, you're not going to hurt anything. Is it a good practice to keep your hand off it? Sure, but it's not the end of the world if you don't. There are much worse things you can do. The way I see it, as long as you don't ride the hell out of the clutch when you're starting from a stop, don't attempt to shift without the clutch and you make some attempt at rev matching, you'll probably be fine.

I was a little surprised when he said "I thoughy I looked cool because every saw I was driving a manual". I forget that in the US automatic cars are a lot more common than here in Brazil.

Should have gave real tips for new drivers. Such as how to pull out on a steep incline with someone up your ass at a stop light. How to park on an steep incline in a manual so that the weight isn't resting on transmission. ex- Park, apply e brake, gently let the foot brake go until ebrake has all the weight. then put in gear so that the weight is on the brakes, not the transmission.

In the Netherlands I've been taught (we all pay €2000+ for official driving lessons and exams) to hold the clutch, stay in 1st gear and staying on the brake at stopping lights. Neutral is used for parking with the handbrake. Also no downshifting: you brake as much as you need until you feel the car can't handle it and then use the clutch. Depending on from what speed you want to drive, you shift to the appropriate gear.

I have snow for 4 months in a year and basically if you're out of gear in snow/ice you won't ever be able control the spin coz there is no torque available at all. They teach you to stay in gear for as long as possible because a car w/o gear can spin out quite easily under braking, having the clutch engaged equalizes axles and gives you a vector + torque if you ever need it. I can go down to about 15 kph in 4th. That comes from times before ABS and stabilization were common and drivers had to control those aspects themselves.

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I'm from Estonia. When I came to US I laughed my ass off when I wanted to pick a car and in the options they had automatic and PROFESSIONAL. That's all you need to know about stick and culture of driving in the US. Didn't know that like 70% of drivers in Estonia are so highly regarded to be considered professional drivers lmao. We have a special mark on your license if you CAN'T drive stick (if you completed training on auto car only). Check out my comment below too to understand why keeping the car in gear for as long as possible is taught. I'm somewhat sure you're in a snowless state. Also, the tips you've done are for a big part applicable to US stick cars which are usually either an old unbreakable brick you really can't do anything to or it's a performance car and then your tips are applicable. Rev matching is so unnecessary in a 80 bhp car, the clutch will always outlive the engine (coz it's some sort of a 1.2L with variable angle turbo lol), I can do shifts up and down w/o the clutch at all, but why bother if I'm not in a race, just ease off the clutch slowly lol. Resting the hand is ok because manufacturers long know of this habit and usually the weight is held by a supportive structure and not the mechanism of the gearbox or the actual rod that moves the gears is not directly connected with the shift stick at all.

Watching this from the UK is so weird... Everyone drives manual over here and it's hilly asf so we wouldn't dream of not using the 'ebrake'. We call it the hand brake too lol.

Thanks man learning stick and this is really helpful

one thing about #2: totally agree don't sit the whole duration of a red light with the clutch on the floor and shifter in first, BUT also DON'T wait until the vehicle directly in front of you starts moving before smashing the clutch to the floor then slamming the shifter into first.. doing that puts big wear and tear on the first gear synchros. Always try to stop where you can see when the light turns green (when you're not the car in front).. give yourself time to press the clutch and wait a couple to 5 seconds before moving the shifter to 1st gear.. doing this will help the trans last a lot longer. Or if you're the vehicle in the front, or close enough to see when the perpendicular traffic light turns yellow (and you know there won't be a left turn for the road you're on, or you're not waiting for that left turn arrow).. then you can use that perpendicular yellow light to get an idea of when to press the clutch so you have that 2-5 seconds before needing to be getting moving, allowing the front 'half' of the transmission to slow down and match the rear half of the trans, reducing wear on the 1st gear synchro.

Numbers 1 and 2 - if you’re stopping for any length of time you should use your hand brake. It makes hill starts easier and you don’t dazzle the driver behind you (if there is nobody behind you, then you probably should use your foot brake so that approaching vehicles will see your brake lights and not run into the back of you).

All you said in the video was part of my license practice... Germany, the land of manual transmission 😂

On hills, 1st gear when parking up and the car will roll forward down the hill, if you are aiming so the car will roll backward down a hill once parked then reverse is the correct way. Another safety tip when parked on steep hills is aim your wheels toward the inside of the road (depending on how the car will roll) especially if there is a curb this is good because this acts as a second protection against rolling if there is a brake fail at all whilst parked. Try it next time you park, aim your wheels inward toward the curb depending on direction you will roll and then let the hand brake off, car bounces gently in to the curb and stops. Good video

Look at that, a great video and in one of my dream cars. Thanks for the video!

Well. They own the car. So I'd drive their car the way they say. When you buy your own you won't have to worry. Some times you just gotta do what they say lol. But rev matching a downshift really shouldn't even be obvious in normal low rpm driving. Only in the high RPM will you hear the engine revving high

I always laugh when i hear some call a manual transmission a stick shift car.

Austin Lee this is me too. Lol 2000 mustang coupe. Had it for 3 years now and am at 300k miles right now. Never really had any issues lol

I’m late to the party. Nice car, and I confirm this is sound advise. One other thing I might add that I’m guilty of over the years. Is driving in reverse and you’re trying to be cautious and not run over anything or anyone behind you. Be mindful of clutch positioning I think I catch myself slipping a little clutch here and there when I could either just have it engaged or pushed in and coast.

Yeah for sure. Reverse can be touch. Has a lot of toque

So on that first tip that you had, I lived in North Carolina and it was a lot of red lights on deep hills, I tried the break method instead of using that clutch and keeping it in first and I started rolling back fast! I had to literally slam the gas and take off in first gear 😂😂,

The first point is bang on. I drive a 6 speed golf R and I always see people at the stoplights rolling back and engaging the clutch over and over until the light goes green, and I am just cringing inside. I think it's people who just learned how to drive manual transmissions, and they want other people to know that they are driving one, so they roll back at the lights, it's so stupid to do that.
