my biggest fear is stalling

@eugenepanov8164

I used to feel the same way but the thing is, you'll always stall and you're just going to have to accept that. Accept that you will feel silly when it happens. We are not perfect. I'm a year into driving a manual and I stalled twice today going up a dirt mountain road with traffic going 1-2mph.

Happened to me quite a few times. A couple of times at hills, slow moving traffic, and traffic lights. A little embarrassing and annoying while holding back a couple of cars but yeah... Just apologised and kept going 😅 1st year of manual

It’s good to fear I guess I stalled yesterday for an entire stoplight. It happens! Take a deep breath and start again. Don’t rush yourself and always remember, You’re driving the car. No one else!

First time I stalled was in a 4 lane intersection. Luckily the guy behind me had a manual too and was just giving the thumbs up. Mistakes happen and people know that. Don’t panic or rush. Stalling is natural! 2-3 years later I won’t pay attention and stall 😂

Try to practice in a flat surface and bring the clutch up to where the car vibrates so much it's about to stall. Get used to that feeling and immediately clutch down everytime that happens. But it's safer to clutch down a bit earlier before the shaking happens.

Thanks a ton for a short and precise video

Thank for the video

Thanks 🙏

Mainly for downhill, i feel like riding the clutch is a little excessive. I’d personally recommend staying in neutral and feathering the break, keeping the clutch from being engaged. To re engage in gear, put it in second once you hit a bit above you’re idle rpm and let the clutch back out. Excellent video, just wanted to add a personal tip to anyone this can help

Thank you. You have a valid point. I think I'd be more likely to use that technique if I was going down a long steep hill with no traffic ahead of me or if the traffic was moving at a decent pace.

Thanks

I thought that staying in gear in heavy traffic was bad. So the proper way is to just shift into neutral. What's the correct way? I really need to know.

@ZONDOdriving

Ай бұрын

The correct way is to do what you find easiest for you. As long as the car is controlled.

@chawkleton4665

Ай бұрын

If you’re at a stop light and it’s taking a while, it’s best to sit in neutral. However if you’re in traffic like this which is constantly stopping and starting it’s completely ok to stay in first and hold the clutch

Video on moving gears at a higher speed please 😢

Nice video But like to see you do videos on how to slow down at roundabouts and junctions. Something I struggled was with when I would move down from gear 3 to gear 2 I would panic, car would jolt or end up coasting. Slowing down/gearing down smoothly I also think positioning on the road is another issue for me. Can't really tell how far I am away from a car beside me or when car is incoming on a two way road. Usually end up guessing/steering without really thinking how close/far I am from another car. I have this same issue with parking on left. I kinda guess to see if I am near the kerb or not. I don't really calculate/judge it properly. I can only check once I park on the left and look at side mirror to see how far I am from kerb.

You make it quite fun. I have actually driven manual since I was a teen. In 2017 I bought a new A4 B9, six speed; however, the handbrake was gone, now it is a switch in the center console, activated and deactivated by the index finger. I live around a lot of city hills and it was quite an adjustment, always used to that forceful handbrake. Wonder if you have dealt with that change. In the US only 2017-2018 were available in six speed, so not many of us with this scenario here, I suppose. Thanks!

Hi thanks for the video. Really learned a lot. One question tho, isnt it bad if you step on the clutch for too long?

@ZONDOdriving

4 ай бұрын

It depends what you're doing with the gas and whether the clutch is at the biting point or not.

Unfortunately my clutch does not work like this. It’s either all or nothing or it stalls.

Can I ask is holding down the clutch (staying in first gear with handbrake on) bad for the clutch should I have the clutch AND brake down when sitting in traffic temporarily or is it ok clutch only ?

@ZONDOdriving

5 ай бұрын

Either is OK. Whatever is easiest for you. The main thing is that the car is controlled. It's not bad for the clutch. My car is almost 9 years old and it's driven by leaners that way all the time and it's still fine.

can I please ask as the car moving slow in traffic , I hear you saying I must find the bite point with the clutch and be around bite not over a bite because speed may be rising but you quite about the gas , should I not use it????

@ZONDOdriving

4 ай бұрын

At really slow speeds, most of the time you won't need to use the gas. If you're on a steep hill and your car is struggling, you might need a bit of gas.

What if i want to totally start the car up on a hill cuz when i get my foot off the clutch the car starts going down and if i leave the brake still it starts goin down

@ZONDOdriving

8 ай бұрын

If the car is going down when you come off the brake, it means you haven't got enough of a biting point. Make sure you feel a bit of vibration first before releasing the brake, that way you know you've got enough of a bite and it shouldn't roll back. Hope that helps. 😁

When going downhill and putting the clutch down isnt called coasting?

@ZONDOdriving

8 ай бұрын

Not in the example I gave. Coasting is when it's not controlled and that usually involves higher speeds.

Now im on 2nd n there is a uturn, now i wont stop but vl go dead slow,What should i do when i get dead slow but don't want to stop , but pick up in that pace ? Shud i shift to 1st or keep it in 2nd n go?

@@ZONDOdriving okay so if my speed reached below 10 km/ph i should shift into 1st right?. Bcoz my driving instructor is like never shift into 1st when in moving condition, 1st is used only for pickup, even if slow then go in 2nd and too slow then press clutch and take it forward. So im confused. When i go on speed breaker slow, my engine stopped bcoz of no enough power . And i asked him should i shift to 1st? When going dead slow he is like no keep on second n play and do clutch play

how do i yield for a car on a right turn without completely stopping the car and having to start from gear 1 again

It's a lot to do with timing, how the other car moves, whether you're on a hill or not and more.

You can if you're going fast enough. If you do when going too slow, you risk the car stalling.

Those people who go into neutral before the stop is to relieve the clutch... Holding down the clutch throughout a traffic like how you are showing is not recommended as it will damage the clutch

On the downhill part, can’t you just put it in neutral and control the car with the brake
