Great. I will say this it does take a bit of practice. It's not hard to learn how to drive one. After a few days you will find a different world to driving. They also have the downside in start and stop traffic. But the overall fun is worth it. For me I go to the gear I want for the type of driving i'm doing soft or hard. Personally all drivers ed should be with a manual. If you can't drive one, good luck finding an automatic in Europe !

I usually slow down with the brake (like at a red light for example) when the revs start getting a little low and I get closer to the red light then I'll pop it into Neutral and coast the remaining 3 or 2 car lengths and stop. But sometimes the light turns green before you even stopped so in that case I pop into 2nd gear (cause the car at this point is going about 10-20mph) and I'm on my way like usual

this pretty much answered the question ive been having. It's okay to hit the brakes while moving without pressing the clutch and "my car" wont stall as long as it doesnt come to a complete stop (or fall below a certain rpm)? But once im down slowing down and want to continue going forward, how do i know if i downshift or just keep going in the same gear i was in? If i do downshift should i rev match?

@Itstrevorspov

Dave Restrepo typically if you’re in a higher gear 4-6 you’d want to downshift to 2nd or 3rd and then you can either pop into neutral and coast to a stop using just brakes, or just use the brakes while still in gear and clutch in once RPM’s get low (1000-1500) to keep from stalling and then neutral coast to a stop since you’ll only be around 10-20mph. If you’re downshifting especially at higher speeds and slowing... you’ll wanna rev match to keep from putting to much strain on your engine.. rev matching is for a smoother downshift.. at the same time it can wear your clutch if you do it 24/7

@KommissarBanx

5 жыл бұрын

Dave Restrepo If you’re in 3rd going like 40 or 4th going like 50, you can very gently use the brake or more favorably, switch into second and then use the break. When the car gets to about 10-20mph you can just hold the clutch in (since it disengages the engine and physics will cause the car to stop since it’s pretty heavy) and brake at your leisure. If you stay around 20 just slowing down for someone taking a slow turn or something on a back road, you can just accelerate back into a higher gear

while holding down the clutch right

Dear Brandon, when you are braking in a manual car and you put down the clutch, or put it in neutral, at the same time, your stopping distance will be considerably longer than the stopping distance would be when you just brake without the clutch. So you want to put down the clutch as late as possible in order to have the maximum brake while not stalling the engine. The difference in stopping distance can be several metres/yards, depending on your speed, which can mean a crash or not. Thanks for keeping this in mind. Have a good day.

Engine compression or Jacob braking is ESSENTIAL to safe braking especially in emergencies and most car manuals, my WRXs included, warn of the major increase of accident risk of coast braking in neutral. Heel toe is NOT optional in the real world, a fact I have faced every day coming back to standard from automatic and backed up by how many automatic drivers are on the road and how they tend to drive (short following distance and sudden braking with rapid accelerations). The advice many such as myself are seeking, I believe at least, are pointers for rapid heel toe gear dropping i.e. how to quickly and smoothly walk the transmissioin down the ratios from top gear to second gear in common situations like traffic suddenly jamming on the freeway or a car pulling out of a driveway on an avenue without looking. To be more specific, how should we adjust our blips, important things to repember on the stick like preventing missed shifts or slipping into the wrong port, and how much break pressure per gear i.e.constant or gradual increase, etc

@Invisible12345ful

Must disagree, because, if brakes are able to lock the wheels, then extra engine braking force doesn't make a difference in maximum braking force. There are only 3 factors which change your braking distance - weight, traction, braking force.

@Synthwave89

6 жыл бұрын

+Invisible12345ful Exactly this. Engine braking is not necessary for emergency braking. The disc brakes alone can EASILY lock the wheels, what's more important is keeping traction by means of ABS and high quality tires. That said, there is value in having the car in a correct gear at all times in case you need to further avoid danger by accelerating immediately.

@Invisible12345ful

By the way, the main reason I do not engine brake is because when your engine has 0 fuel injection while spinning, it gets oiled only by oil, and actually gasoline itself serves as oiling too. I drive a diesel, and diesel is even more oily, so I prefer throwing it in neutral end let my engine stay on low RPM's with fuel being injected making minimum wear on piston rings. Difference in economy is too small to sacrifice the difference in wear on piston rings.

Once you start actually driving manual all these questions kinda answer themselves. Questions like “what gear am i supposed to be in?” “How do i brake” “How do i know whether im in 1st or 3rd or 2nd or 4th?” Once you actually start driving you realize how easy it actually is it just takes about a week to get the hang of it but once you got it everything makes sense

Best advice: Think the clutch burns your foot. Use the gearbox more.

I usually just set the car in neutral whenever im cruising in like 3rd or 4th gear then braking and dropping it back down to 1st gear whenever i come to a stop sign or traffic

This video is mostly correct, however if you are braking in emergency (ie. full brake) you can normally apply the clutch around half a second after you hit the brakes, rather than at exactly the same time. This takes practice but in the vast majority of scenarios the car will be just above stalling by the time the clutch goes in. This gets you the benefit of a short spurt of engine braking but prevents stalling. Source: UK driver (where pretty much everyone learns/drives manual) - emergency braking in this manner is a possible part of the test.

I think a lot of people know "the brakes are still the brakes" but they are probably concerned about how hard the car will jerk when stalled suddenly at those speeds and how much damage it will do. Is it safe to say that you can just hit the brake immediately and try to hit the clutch asap before revs drop below 1000?

This really helped me, I was trying to figure out different ways of stopping quickly

thank you! I've been having problems with this topic :)) You've relieved me haha

This is important stuff, I really want to drive a standard transmission, it just came to mind that I can't exactly slam the brake if I need to without considering the gear shift

Perfect explanation. Thank you!

Thanks I’m trying to get a manual and this was my question 😁

Yo thanks for this video it actually helped me a lot💯

I brake and down shift at the same time but with out Rev matching, (I know I'm upsetting the car and it's not the right way to do it), but is it safe?

Bro is a good teacher hate teachers who dont teach good and it's harder to learn .

I hate being limited to automatics, and what if I'm forced to drive someone's manual in a hurry? Ive had several small lessons by my sister, and even drove her car about a mile, solo, once, but stalled on the way home and did a mini-burnout in our parents' driveway. I'm scared to wreck my dad's truck's transmission and said sister has gotten an automatic. But braking has always been confusing to me, so thank you. This helps so so much and I'm excited to broaden my future car-buying horizons :D

Huh, saw in my recommended and I clicked, because that's all I've ever owned was manual cars. I've been doing it for so long I just do it without thinking about it and thru trial and errors at first, you end up learning your car, which gears are what and how the engine sounds and you just go...like 2nd nature the cars an extension of you. My advice to anyone starting out. Start slow, learn each gear, each gears max speed, and feel it as you engage in each gear up until 5, or 6 I have a six speed now used to have a 5. You'll eventually know what to do in certain circumstances on the road and when to down shift, rev match etc... I'm not very good at explaining, but the man in the video did a very good job explaining it that I'm sure it could help beginners out. Used to have to look at what gear I was going in to as well, but now I can go into any gear and downshift, rev match whatever you wanna call it.. flawlessly. The more you drive one (manual) the more everything will flow naturally

Thank you for the info! I subscribed.

Instead of heel toe, is it fine to down shift and slowly let off the clutch

I have a friend that told me his master cylinder went to shit on the freeway. He couldn't brake so he downshift to slow down when he got out the freeway. Is this done with heel toe? How would you do that for a beginner.

this was a helpful video thankyou.

I was asking around IRL how to slow down at a stop sign or lights, and they said, just brake, and im like, dont i have to do anything with the clutch? they said no, but whenever i tried without cluth it stalled. so thanks, i think u might've saved some fking lives over here xD

"Brake will always be brake" is true only if the hydraulic system is still working - meaning the engine is running. Once the engine stalled, brake effort will increase, not desirable for quick stop. The correct way for panic stop is press clutch and brake (hard) at the same time.

if car is in 5th gear and i apply clutch and did not do anything and i again relief the clutch what will happen. ? if i took neutral directly form 5th gear. and again i put 5th gear what will happen. ? if car is at top gear and from 5th gear i shifted gear to 4th without lowering speed what will happen.? if i drive car without acceleration do it effect engine ? if i apply clutch and then from 5th i come to 4 gear but still i am holding clutch and again i come to 5th gear by mistake what will happen? Please answer all these questions

Thank you for this video

So do u push the clutch in and then start pushing the break or do u do it at the same time?

If I don't Accelerate while at a stop will my car stall? Or do I have to put it in neutral in order to keep it from stalling

It helped me a lot 💯🙏🏼

I just got a manual car and when I shift I'm still a beginner/amature, why does it jerk hard and jump when shifting? Is there a better way to shift smoother or what? Maybe a mount or mounts are bad or what.

So back when I was still taking drivers lessons, I came up to an T split and suddenly noticed a car coming up from the left. I saw this pretty late as I first was looking at the right (should've been left, since those would actually hit me if driving on). Also the instructor was on her phone lol. Just slammed the brakes and car stops, it began bobbing a bit and I just pushed in the clutch.

you break distance is acually reduced a bit with abs when you dont pull the clutch in as the engine is turned while you slow down.

Ok so if I need to stop at a red light I can just clutch in then brake to slow down and once ima bout to go in a complete stop I just put it in neutral and once the light is green just go back to 1st gear and drive off?

You are the man Thank you some much

Can I throw the car in neutral at any time without causing issues? Like if I'm running up on a light and need to stop quickly, instead of downshifting first, just put it in neutral, come to a complete stop, then start back in first like normal?

Helpful to me. I have a bit of experience but I want to buy a gr86 so I appreciate the video.

When I go do to slow down let’s say I’m in fourth gear, then a traffic light goes red I get my foot of the accelerator (obv) then I brake lightly with the clutch in and go back into third and then just hold in my brake and clutch lightly until it comes to a complete stop 🛑 but my instructor said I shouldn’t brake and clutch for more than 3 seconds.. I’m confused. Someone help me

Thanks man always wondered that lol

Help me a lot cheers 👍

Do you ever use the clutch to break ?

Thank you for the video.

Let’s say I just want to brake for like a quick seconds, What if I don’t want to come to a complete stop or downshift, can I just press the brake without having to hit the clutch? Or what would happen if I press the brake without the clutch

So what if you brake hard then before you drive off again clutch in, then first gear, then gas?

Should you revmatch as you come to a sudden stop?

I’ve to say I’m learning as much in the comments as in the video. Lol what a smart crowd. My new Z3 is currently my dream and nightmare🤣 I’m getting the hang y’all it’s not knowing what to do when stopped without stalling that gave me the worst anxiety!

do i need to press the clutch when going from first to jsut neutral?

ok so to break without stalling you depress the clutch and break at the same time? or one before the other?

Would it be a good idea to buy a manual without actually driving a manual beforehand? My neighbor said he would teach me how to drive one, I'd just need to get one first. (Because he wont let me drive his 2014 Ford GT CS lol :P)

in sweden if you drive automatic you aren't allowed to drive manual.

I was wondering because I haven't touched any manual trans car after driving school. I totally forgot everything about it. I wanted to relearn all these but I found my driving school didn't teach any special cases either. All they told was to clutch+brake "without mercy" if you really need to stop. They kind of knew most of us students will drive an auto trans anyways. No "fast downshifting" was taught.

As someone who rode a motorbike for a good chunk of my college days, I have gotten into the habit of sequentially downshifting all the way to first, even in a car. More engine braking, but also more work. When I saw videos of people driving cars by letting it sit in neutral while braking, I was like... but but but... why are you overworking your brakes!

If you have a sequential gearbox that is alright, otherwise you can skip some gears and do less work, you don't have to go from 5th to 4th if your speed is already low enough, you can go directly to third...

That was not what he said in the video, he said it was ok to brake in 6th gear because a break is still a break, it’ll slow you down. You will stall the car by doing this but it would be better than hitting anything. His second tip was to keep the car in gear, brake, and having the clutch in at the same time so that you don’t stall. In his example, he was in 4th and once he came to a complete stop and before hitting 1000 rpms, he put it in neutral and and then back into 1st

FEGTTTSDH If you release the clutch fairly slowly then yes that can slow you down quicker if your car has milk bottle tops for brakes, but if you do it too quick then it will lock the driven wheels for a bit and completely disrupt the car so if you're trying to steer around something that can screw you. If your car doesn't have enough brake force to be able to overwhelm the tyre grip then it's probably not roadworthy to begin with. Even the most economy based shit boxes I've driven can still do that which renders using clutch drag to slow it down useless

Something VERY important when breaking in a manual diesel vehicle, especially larger displacemnt truck engines, is that it can be dangerous to allow the engine to stall when breaking as a diesel engine can often overpower your breaks and foceibly continue to run even below 300 rpm. This is especially true with mechanical injection diesel engines and even computer controlled injection if the injector pump is ran off the engine like in a 24V cummins with a VP44 pump. This phenomenon is especially true in low gears or anything lower than a 2:1 ratio however you can feel the lack of deceleration when rpms get close to idle speed even when in overdrive. I know this from a lot of experience. Also, when breaking very fast in an absolute all out emergency is needed I'll ignore the "heel toe" downshift method and just shift down to rev the engine out as much as possible without redlining and just ease off the clutch slipping it if necessary. Not quite as good that way for the clutch but doing it like that allows me to fully focus on the road and keep the breaks well planted to the floor and pumping them if necessary to maintain control. A clutch is a lot cheaper than most wreck bills and especially loss of life. Just my .02.

My biggest fear was suddenly breaking and car jerking or cut off while someone's behind me at hi speeds. This guy video is on point and when he said *THE BRAKES ARE THE BRAKES* he's right.

If u in 2nd gear, just clutch into 1st and go slowly over the bump while giving it light gas. This will prevent u from clutching in and starting from scratch or jerking. Slippage just got this car on March 19th and so in just a few weeks i know where my gears are- i dont have to look down to shift. 1. After u start the car, clutch to 1st. 2. Gently ease foot off the clutch until u feel the vehicle moving forward. At the point, lightly press the gas. And you're off!! 3. With reversing, u have to bite the clutch a bit- u cant just release the clutch or she'll cut off. So my foot is still on the clutch as i reverse and then i ease my foot off clutch and give it light gas. 4. If u goin at high speed btwn 4th or 5th gear, and u comin up on a light or curve or stop sign, u can down-shift into 3rd or 2nd as it slows down the vehicle as u downshift. It comes with practice!

No worries, everybody stall car when learning. No big deal. Just learn to avoid stalling, release your foot slowly off the clutch apply a bit of gas. I'll recommend you learn hill start and hill reverse climb too. (Listen to the engine when lifting foot off the clutch.)

Mentions racing downshifting but doesn't mention normal downshifting. Put it down 1 gear from where you're at while you brake, and then drop it again as you slow down more, repeat until in first gear. Downshifting will help you decelerate and take some of the load off your brakes. As you come to a complete stop, fully press the clutch to avoid stalling. This is something you should learn in your first month of driving stick, get familiar with your car and how you can control it.

so you do engage clutch, hit the brake, slip into neutral, then go to 1st and go again or if necessary: clutch to neutral, start braking, and....once stopped go to first and go I just remembered that if you're in neutral you can't stall the engine (I'm new to manual but I've some experience in a Forced Feedback Simulator which helps get a feel for what manual driving is like but my weakest point was always braking)

Great video!👌

Yes, You got to stop at a red light sometime or another. Or worse, a yellow flashing light.

2 different school of thought during emergency braking which is better? A. CLUTCH IN first and then BRAKE. B. BRAKE first then CLUTCH in. debate is going on about these 2 concept. BUT I saw one video in youtube that enlightens me, he is a instructor in UK. He said LETTER B is more appropriate and more efficient, why?. Because if you press the break first then followed by clutch in IT ACTUALLY LESSENS THE distance needed for your car to come to a complete stop. Unlike Letter A. clutch in first and then break. So I was like, okay I hope he can show me some demonstration and so he did. Now I was convinced Letter B is more safe. (NOTE that when you say press the brake first and then clutch in it doesn't mean that you will actually do it like this "break for few seconds then clutch in" WRONG. in Letter B you will do it as if you are pressing the break and clutch at almost the same time possible (if you want to have a complete stop without actually stalling the engine). It's just that you press that break first so your Break system bites early.

I don’t have a clutch, I have an automatic that can turn into a manual, I was goin 120, and I was ready to brake, never drove manual in my life before this, so I’m just braking and shifting down, and it felt like I was messing something up, so I want to make sure I don’t fuck up my transmission or something

The exact answer I was looking for. Thank You.

Glad this helped!

So for example, say I’m in 4th gear driving down the road and a red light is coming up, it would be fine if i just clutch in put it in neutral and then brake

Let me know to lol

Your clutch will always be your clutch

"If you do hit your brakes while in 6th gear and you come to a full stop, obviously you're gonna stall the car" So Redline Rumble/Redline Rumble Revolution was correct..somewhat

Do I need to start my car in neutral holding down the clutch and brake? My car seems to always have a longer time starting ????

If the car is in neutral you can start it without pressing the clutch, you need to press the clutch when you are trying to start the car on first gear though

I am nervous to leave my car in fist with E braKe on just cause I am so used to leaving it in neutral w/ E brake on . idk After all this time of driving a standard... I still don't know certain things that maybe I should know lol.

Thank you

That’s facts on the point he made of when in 6th and you need to fully stop. It’s better to just stall instead of colliding w whatever is in front of u. And by the time you where your car will stall you will pretty much be at a stop, so there really won’t be any damage to your engine

so if i have the clutch all the way in and brake at the same time the car won’t stall?

i thought you had to always put it in neutral

Hello, what if you’re on 4th gear and don’t really have to stop just slow down but go into 1st gear. Do you have to downshift to 1st or can you just skip gears and shift into 1st from 4th for example?

Put it in neutral and and the car will slow down and gently tap brake if you want to slow down even more. don’t go from 4th gear to 1 gear because your car will almost come to a complete stop and that can be kinda dangerous
