A friend of mine had overlooked renewing her license for long enough that she had to take a road test to get a license so she could rent a car. Since she didn't have a running car (hence the rental) I took her for the exam in my brand-new Crosstrek six-speed. She had no problem taking the test the first time she drve the car. The license examiner, on he other hand, had never seen a manual, denied even knowing that manuals exist, so my friend had to explain the clutch and shifting to the examiner as she took the exam.

Great tips! Another tip I'd add is to never use excessive force on the shifter. You shouldn't need much force to get it into gear. If it isn't going into gear easily, stop and try again. If you don't have the shifter lined up properly for the gear you are trying to select, you aren't pushing the clutch enough, something is wrong with the clutch or transmission, etc, all trying to force it will do is risk causing serious damage to the shifter, cables, transmission, etc. I have known people who bent shift forks, broke shifters, etc by being way too rough.

@@tumbili5375 Generally, if the transmission is grinding when shifting, the clutch either isn't disengaging fully or the synchronizers are worn out. Changing the transmission fluid might help too. If your 2nd gear synchro is worn, you should be able to shift to 2nd gear with no grinding by double clutching as long as everything else is okay. This guy has an excellent video on double clutching that I'd suggest you watch. It takes a bit of practice to get right, but mastering the skill might prevent you from having to rebuild the transmission.

A useful tip for first and second gears (in a right-hand drive car) is the so-called “palming” technique. This is where you rotate your left wrist 180° so the palm of your left hand is facing away from your legs. When you change into first or second gear this way your palm acts as a barrier against the gear lever accidentally springing back into neutral.

This is the technique I use, allows me to shift fast with 0% chance of getting wrong gear.

After getting my license almost 10 years ago and exclusively driving automatic cars I made the decision last month to switch to manual as my daily driver. My family thought I was nuts and were convinced I'd be back at the dealership to trade it in within a few days. Yes the first week or so was... rough and jerky but I stuck with it and now I love my car and love driving again, my commute is no longer something I dread but almost like therapy. So much good information in these videos that made my learning experience much much better than if I'd have just done a couple hour lesson for the basics and figured out the rest myself.

Dude, thanks a lot! I haven’t driven manual cars for a long time and almost forgot everything… now your lessons are helping me remember very quickly. Videos are straight to the point, super clear and helpful!

Great tips!

I had a pretty disasterous lesson yesterday, constantly going into 5th gear instead of 3rd. All because I was trying to move gears in one flow of the wrist, by playing 'guess the gear' position. It made me lose concentration & confidence on the rest of the driving, and made it really hard to control the car. I've been following this channel since I started learning, so looked for a gearstick video. I did another lesson today applying Richard's technique, and at the end of the lesson the instructor actually allowed me to drive home on the main roads for the first time, which is massive progress for me. I only went into 5th instead of 3rd accidentally once - but instead of panicking like I did yesterday, I quickly fixed it myself and the car was fine. Honestly Richard you are a god send!!

Someone taught me to "laterally preload" the shifter which helps when shifting from 3-2 and from 4-5 and when skipping from 4-6. Essentially, if you want to go from 4-5, put pressure towards the right on the shifter, then put pressure upwards and as soon as it can go right, it will go right and then finish going up into 5th. The same works for 3-2 (but with left pressure) and 4-6 (4-6 is just annoying but the lateral preload trick helps). This little tricks helps _a ton_ when your 4th and 5th gear are close together in ratio and it makes it so much easier to time your clutch release so you don't jerk the car on the shift.

It may sound weird but if you are not paying attention to the way you hold the gear stick, you may put it from 3rd to 2nd instead of 4th. My car's steering wheel is on the left so I obviously use my right hand to move the gear stick and when I made the same mistake (from 3rd to 2nd) twice in a matter of like 10 minutes I actually had to stop the car and check why that "money shift" kept happening. What I noticed was when my palm was facing towards the left, the gearstick would easily go from 3rd to 2nd rather than 4th. To fix that you obviously have 2 options: either place the palm on top of the gearstick or your palm has to face towards the right. That gearbox was damn unhappy about the money shifts but once I fixed the problem it was happy again (hehe).

By teaching to let go in neutral do you also recommend double clutching?

In the video, approaching the junction, you changed to 2nd didn´t use the gear, then used 1st to pull away. Would it not be better to wait to see which gear to use before deciding? One gear change, one movement of the lever and controls.

Many years ago when i was learning i use to sit in my dads car while it was parked and just practice the gears, so that's my tip if you can sit in someones car while parked have a go, you will soon learn how to use the gears.

One thing I was taught is to face your palm to the direction of the gear you want to hit. Some vehicles (like my WRX) have tight gates and can be deceiving when you're trying to watch the road

I imagine you could test if this puts any load on your gearbox by coming to a complete stop in a flat area, then putting the car in 1st but only hold the clutch down as much as you do when shifting 2nd to 3rd. Hold the clutch in this position while the car is in first gear. If the car starts to roll forward when you do this (assuming that your foot is off the brake and the handbrake is off) then it is putting extra strain and wear on the gearbox (mainly the synchronizers, I would guess). Of course, I would make sure the car doesn't roll when it's in neutral to double check that the ground is flat.

I encourage my pupils to be gentle when pushing it into gear.

I think an important reminder for beginners is to not do what they see everyone else does. It's ridiculously easy to glide through the gear changes once you have experience, but it also looks deceptive to the untrained eye and hides a lot of the mechanics that you've covered. I'm not moving the gear stick, I'm simply suggesting to it that it may prefer to sit somewhere else.

sometimes when shifting into reverse the stick itself shifts but the car remains in neutral (alfa romeo 156 2.0 jts 2004)

My Crosstrek has an annoying LED display on the instrument cluster reminding me what gear the shifter is in. After almost sixty years driving manuals, I think I can figure that out.

I respect your opinion on this, but I have to disagree. The method I've talked about in my previous comment (the one where you linked this video) seems to remove the variable of gripping tight the stick while going from first to second. Use the same technique as going from 5th to 6th but with the palm in the opposite orientation will ensure that you never miss second. Instead of actually having to think wether you should use more or less grip or worry about slipping into 3rd, the pupil will be more confident without having to think about something extra in a tight situation. The same principle applies when going down to 2nd from 3rd, where applying pressure with the palm rotated towards the passenger while pulling the stick, ensures you never miss 2nd.

This just got way better after the fact he drives an Mx-5

Gears getting stack was my biggest problem I have a Toyota yaris and I have read gear change from 2 to 1 actually can be a problem. Its annoying as I passed in August this year and all the instructors cars very so easy to drive but when I got mine 1L it was a different story. I have to give a lot of gas for the car to move off even on the slightest hill. But actual hills are the worse nightmare for me. I hate it with my car. But the difficulty in shifting to 1st gear is on roundabout. For me to go into 1st, my car has to be nearly stopped or otherwise it will block the gear stick and not let me shift. If I stay on second sometimes the car moves off to slow. I feel like I'm fighting with the car sometimes especially when I'm tired. There must be something I could be doing better.

Some cars are difficult to drive, especially older cars. Try to take your time, a difficult car is better tamed with patience rather than skill. Usually when I seem someone struggling with a car they're trying to do it quickly.

I have a question about shifting that wasn't addressed in this video. When upshifting from gear 2 into 3, I've been doing exactly as you describe here. That is, popping the stick out of gear 2, letting the stick center itself, then pushing it up into 3. However, a problem I very frequently encounter is that this causes the rpm's in my car drop quickly (note: my car has a 2.0 liter gasoline, naturally aspirated engine). It takes extra time to shift from gear 2 to 3 because I have to wait an extra second for the stick to center itself before pushing up. This delay causes the rpm's to drop. So, as a result, I frequently have trouble getting a smooth shift from gear 2 into 3. I feel a kick/bump from my car. This isn't a problem when, say, shifting from 1 to 2 or 3 to 4, because the stick gets moved in a straight, vertical line. How can I upshift from gear 2 to 3 smoothly? Do you have any suggestions on how to counter the drop in rpm? Thanks!

It's a good thing it jumps too the middle cause it makes it fool proof

Best tip I have is the left pedal doesn’t need to be used at all, if you hear a grinding sound that means the transmission is working well and you should continue driving.

What a stupid transmission, thank God for automatics 😂😂😂

Love the red top not enough people get that color option it’s a real shame because the black top in my opinion is just 🤷‍♂️ boring 🥱

Great tips!
