How To Change Gears & When in a Manual Car
How to shift gear & when in a manual car - driving lessons for beginners www.driving-school-beckenham....
If you're new to driving a manual car, one of the most essential skills you need to learn is how to change gear. It's important to know when to change gear and how to do it properly to ensure a smooth and safe driving experience.
When to change gear does vary from car to car and it also depends on whether you're driving up or downhill plus how much weight is in your car.
Getting used to the sound of the engine and the feel of your car is important and gets better with experience.
How to change gear is equally important. In this video you'll see how to change gear using the palming method. It's the easiest way to change gear and make less mistakes.
How you change gear is not marked on the driving test but selecting the wrong gear could lead to problems.
If you're a beginner taking driving lessons & learning to drive a manual car, then this videos for you!
This video is perfect if you're learning to drive and just starting your driving lessons or need a refresher. It shows what to do with the accelerator, brake, clutch and gears.

I just wanna say in 2024 these videos are a life saver!! You go into the nitty gritty of things that every beginner needs. Thank you Chris! Hopefully I get to do a lesson with you soon 👌🏽
thanks for talking about the responsiveness of the accelerator pedal! many videos fail to mention this and it is the best indicator of if you're in the right gear.
Brilliant instructor. Carefully explained, with great clarity step by step guidance in this video like each and every of your videos I viewed, couple of days before ''UPGRADE'' from over 20 years old Full Automatic driving License to Manual License. I had 2 lessons (for three hours) before taking my test and with partly your guide, I PASSED the test, yesterday. Thanks and keep up the good and helpful work

You change gears when you reach 5000rpm and when slowing down you slam it from 6thgear straight to 3rth and when you reach 35km/h, you slam the first gear in for maximum speed and power

I'm dyslexic have issues with right and left that arm wrist I now get but feels so abnormal.
I've been driving for 20 years and I still don't know where my gears are thank you for this video big help I had no idea can you tell me how the handbrake works now maybe the indicators and also how to adjust my head rest because I have no idea
Which speed for which gear?
Not even 14 mate and I’m watching it 😂
Hello . How are you. In this video while on a high way i saw you changed from 3rd to 5th gear AND i was wondering why didn't you change to 4th gear? Or its all fine to go from 3rd to 5th when the speed is high. Please your reply would be appreciated . Thank you
@worlddriving

It's ok to 'block' gear change as long as you're at the right speed. A lot of drivers do it changing down. For example 3rd to 1st and skip 2nd. 🙂

After I change a gear can I add gas and in the same time release the clutch or I must release the clutch all the way and than adding gas as you explaine in the video? Greetings from Serbia!

Hi! The simplest way to change gear is shown in the video but if you want to change gear quicker or if the car jerks when you change gear then try pressing the gas slightly just before the clutch is fully released.

What about pulling up on the left. If i'm going say 25mph in 3rd gear and need to pull up on the left, do I need to slow down and go to gear 2 and then 1 and then stop, or do I just use the brake, still in 3rd gear and with the clutch pressed down to stop stalling?

You can brake, clutch and park in 3rd. Parking brake on, then select neutral 👍

Manual transmission is for poor people in poor countries who can only afford small engines. These days, Automatic transmission is more efficient, more reliable, and less maintenance like e-CVT in hybrid, or regular Aisin or ZF Torque converter 6,8, or 10 speeds. No clutch, no belt, just fluid change every 100k miles or 160k Km. Don't get stupid DCT (dual clutch automated manual transmission). It still needs expensive clutch replacement and many cases new robot unit/mechatronics.
