These videos make more sense than when my dad tried to teach me once. He pretty much completely forgot to mention about this friction point for the clutch, and said simply "release the clutch as you throttle." Little surprise that I kept stalling out. Very informative.

That's crazy considering the bite point is probably the most important thing to know about driving haha

I watched all the videos posted by you on driving a manual and the first time I got to drive a manual which was about 2-3 months after I had watched the videos, I did fairly decent for my first time. I think I only stalled once or twice trying to take off on a bit of a incline, I just purchased my first manual vehicle a few days ago and I absolutely love it! For anyone who hasn't drove a manual or is just starting out watch the videos they will definitely help you learn and get the basic concept of it. Thank you so much for taking your time out of your day to make these videos, they definitely do help.

In South korea, Your teaching is excellent to me!! "Out to the friction point, off the brake, a little bit of throttle", I can Do "nice and easy going"

Dr. August, thank you so much for your great videos on driving. You are a great teacher. I learned a lot from your videos. I am an Iranian and just started to learn driving in Germany. Your videos helped me a lot. Love and peace to you :)

Another awesome exercise. I can't wait to take out my newly bought used FIAT this weekend. I just need to avoid the hills before I get to the empty lot. Thanks for the great video Rick. 👍

This is helping a lot, I own a manual as it’s the only transmission my car comes with (2018 Ford Focus ST) but I still make simple mistakes with clutch control.

Clutch control with gasoline engines is rather more sensitive than the diesel counterpart and therefore the tendency to stall when starting off on first gear . Many videos on youtube about manual driving technique but seldom display correct information . This is the correct technique for standard transmissions by isolating the clutch and then applying minimum throttle . This is also very beneficial for the clutch , especially for trucks , as the clutch isn't overheated and no tear and wear . In some cases with my five speed transmission , I only use the clutch for starting off with NO throttle - on a level surface and lightly loaded. Diesel equipped vehicles are more forgiving with the clutch and as usual PRACTISE MAKES PERFECT !! Happy clutching from Europe .

Hi Annibal Moreira - thank you for your comment and endorsement. Yes, a number of times after getting out of the diesel truck I would stall my petrol engine car because I was expecting a lot more torque out of the engine. If one can learn clutch control in a gas engine first and then move to a diesel, a driver's clutch control is much better and they will be a better driver with a manual car. Thanks again - if there's anything further we can do, drop us a note. All the best, Cheers Rick

Thank you soo much man, you saved my clutch ...and my wallet since the manual was more affordable.

Appreciate you taking the time to show what you're feet are doing. It wasn't clear to me the difference in how you treat the clutch between the first and second exercises. Are you moving more quickly through the friction zone of the clutch in the 2nd exercise b/c you're giving it more gas? And does your online driving course happen to go into this kind of detail? Thanks so much! :D

I drive an Automatic Transmission Vechicle ( The Bus). I need to learn the art of Manual Transmission Shifting. I need this important skill of driving.

Thank you so much for this video.

Hi. Thank you for sharing. I would like to share my experience. I really practiced what I saw on this 2 videos. I didn't watched the #3 as I thought this is only I needed. We went out somewhere and I drove. I thought I did well. I shift up the same way as I saw on this #2 video. My driver instructor ( family member) told me I drive worst than before and I will burn up the clutch this way !! I didn't understand why ?! I changed the gears the way as I saw in this video. I came home and checked again this video and I recognised that, there are more videos about "manual car driving" I checked out the #3 video and the recognised that the way to change gears is totally different from N to 1 than 1 to 2 , 2-3 and up. Please if you are a beginner and you don't know how to drive a car with manual transmission don't go out and drive before you watch ALL the videos about " How to drive a manual car" Now I know what I did wrong but I still have to work on my first gear too as I hold the clutch way too long at the friction point before I fully release the clutch .

Hey Big$MoneyBoss - after training for years, samurai warriors would go to the mountains, cease training and meditate for a long period of time. Now...I'm not suggesting you go to the mountains, live in a cave, and meditate; however, take some time to breath. You've got this - just take some time to practice you slow-speed manoeuvres. But more important, work on your foundations of driving in a forward motion and your turns. Keep in mind that examiners are somewhat more forgiving if you have the foundations down: 1) speed management 2) space management 3) observation 4) communication. And remember to breath.

how fast do i release the clutch pedal after biting point ?

I have a 2019 Subaru WRX 6 speed stick shift and Im new to manual driving and @ 7:41 mark my car jerk and stall every time last night so I dont know why when I lightly press the gas as Im on the bite point and coming off it while I gently gas It jerk hard then stalls

When throttling forward and then breaking down to 1000 rpm before pushing clutch in, how will you know when to break if your vehicle doesnt have a tachometer?

If the car is in 4th gear at around 1k rpm Coming to a stop and traffic start moving do you just add gas or go down to 2nd gear?

So my problem is when I'm trying to apply throttle. My car's accelerator is frustratingly sensitive so that even with a little of pressure, the tach is already up to 2-2500 rpms. This makes starting off jerky and annoying. It might be because my throttle is electronic, yours seems to be less responsive. Have you encountered this before in other cars? If so, how did you make it smooth?

Hi sharad702012 - Thank you for your comment and query. Approximately 1,000 rpm on the tachometer is when the road speed is too low, and engine will begin to bog trying to move the vehicle forward. At this point is when you need to push in the clutch, either to shift to lower gear, or to brake completely and bring the vehicle to a stopl. This technique works on most vehicles. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick

Hi Linda Villalba - Thank you for your query. Look in the driver's manual for the speeds of each gear, or look online my friend. Or just take not of the speeds when you hear the engine rev out. All the best, Cheers Rick

I Throttle up to 1.500-2.000 RPM to reduce the Risk of Stalling.

Hi Jupiter Technology 12.000 - that may get you going, but it's really hard on your clutch. I would suggest that you learn better clutch control so that you don't have a major clutch repair at 60K miles (100Kkm). A new clutch is going to cost a lot. Drop us a note if we can help further my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick

Hey just a question here: Why does the break need to be pressed until the clutch reaches the friction point? Ps. I have no experience with cars, I have only driven bikes.

I have a 2012 and it won't go without giving it gas...Is that lack of clutch control? Or is my car messed up

Hi aLew - thanks for your comment. You do have to give it throttle, but I would suggest that you practice the exercise from Lesson #1 for better clutch control. You should be able to get it going without throttle, but eventually you will use the throttle, but you need to bring the clutch out to the friction point first.

I Wonder why you had to change your clutch

@smartdrivetest

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Corban Cutten - the clutch--simply speaking--is 2 plates that come together. If the 2 plates aren't in full contact, these wear. So with improper use over a period of time, you'll wear out the clutch. Consequently, you'll have to replace the clutch. All the best, Cheers Rick

So you can break at first without the clutch being pushed in lol? Why have I always thought you only break with the clutch down

You only depress the clutch peddle just before you come to a complete stop or when you can hear the engine is at idle point and if you are in a queue of traffic then the carry out the normal procedure by securing the car. Handbrake and neutral in that order and when it's time to move then clutch down engage 1 set the gas and release the handbrake as one coordinated movement to pull away smoothly under full control.
