Dude you're awesome. Everyone asks me how I drive as if I've been driving for years although I've only spent less than 10 hours behind the steering wheel, and I can't explain it. It's just that your videos helped me understand my car and the engine and create a type of a relationship with it. Thanks, Richard.

Damn bro lucky you, my driving instructor had me on the road after 4 1 hour lessons, it was stressful as fuck but id be lying if i said i didn't have fun at the same time and wws quite proud of myself. Plenty of mistakes, but I was learning so I didn't beat myself up too bad.

I once confused the tachometer with a speedometer when starting my driving test. (And tried to get a car to 50kmph) Needless to say, it was a very short test :D

@@ConquerDriving This was literally me on my first lesson. The teacher made me drive in busy areas in the city and go all the way up to 5th gear on my first time with the pre-text that that's his method and that it's better to learn in real situations, nevermind that I could barely change gears or know what the hell I'm doing 😂 30-40 minutes in to the lesson after I've been changing (or at least trying my best) gears per his instructions I realize I was wondering why he is telling me to change to 5th gear when I'm only going 20km/h per hour.. then I realize I was looking at the tachometer and not the speedometer all this time.. I was so stressed.

This video is exactly what I was looking for! A clear cut explanation of when to shift up and shift down. I know the real answer is "listen to the engine, you'll feel it" but until I have that intuition and the feel for it, I need real instructions. This is perfect and so clearly explained! Thank you!

Thank you! I’m here in the US and it’s ridiculously hard to find someone that knows how to drive stick. Your videos taught me the nuances of driving manual that even the friends that were helping me learn couldn’t explain.

Your videos never disappoint. I keep on learning and learning new things whenever I visit your channel. Keep it up and more power!

I'm so obsessed with your channel, and I've learnt alot by watching ur videos. My driving skills have improved alot, just by watching your videos, and I just got my driver's license last week Tuesday and I'm still watching ur videos🤣.

this is the best drive learning channel i found on youtube, you made me to understand every step i am doing with the car not just to memorize some steps, everything is well explained , thanks much richard

I am from Sri Lanka and I could not attend driving school much and never liked the teacher anyway. You are the best. I now love manual cars and will never ever drive an auto. Manuals are so much fun!

This is hands down the best video I've seen on when to change gears! Thank you so much.

You are a great teacher man. Keep up the good work! We have far too many bad drivers on UK roads that need to see your work!

thank you so much for your videos, never driven a manual in my life up until a week ago, really helping to quickly learn technic.

Thank you for all of your help! A quite old newbie here!! Keeping your caveats in mind during driving!! Thank you thank you thank you from my part of the world!

Hi, this is a very very late reply but I wanted to say thank you for being a big help in helping me learn how to drive. You've answered many of my questions in your videos and I'm grateful for your help. You've helped me improve my skills and understand my car further. Thank you for always guiding me with your videos. You really are a great instructor.

Hey, just wanted to let you know I watched your videos last year before I buy my first manual car and I still have it and have showed some people how to drive a manual. Thanks!

Genuinely one of the most helpful videos I've ever watched

good stuff dude, i already got my licensee but havnt driven since (been 3 weeks) and no one really taught me when to change, i was doing it by feel the whole time, this actually helped me understand

I just bought a 1992 Nissan Maxima SE 5 Speed. And you've basically taught me how to drive it. Even though I had basic manual knowledge before discovering your videos I thank you bro and appreciate all of your videos!

This content is so good and clear. Watching it from Ukraine and love it

This is really helpful. I am on my fifth lesson and doing roundabouts now and the gear changes were worrying me and know when to change. So thank you. You also have a very calming way if teaching

I really love the way you explained everything as it is very clear, love watching your vlog it really helps! Thanks a lot. 👍🏼

Very underated KZread channel seriously helping me in learning. Thanks a lot love from India ✌️

Thank you! I have just switched from a 2002 1.2L polo to a 2019 1.0L and was worried it had a speed limiter on it because it felt like it wasn't going above 60mph even though I had my foot down. The dealer who I bought it from explained I need to change gear at a higher rev than what I am used to. Your video is really helpful. :) I'm going to have to practice and get used to it.

this is one of the best videos explaining this i have ever seen. he made it so logical and easy. thanks!

Thanks for this video. I love listening to you and watching your videos. Infact you taught me how to drive better. Thank you once again😊

Thanks for this video it’s super helpful! You’re a driving instructor legend! 😁

Im a beginner, and i only judge by engine sound, but I've learned new things thanks to this video

This one is very helpful just like the rest of your videos! thank you loads!

For real, considered flying all the way to colchester from India to have you teach me for a moment. I think that’s a good price to save me all the stress I get with my dad yelling my ear off next to me

This guy is the best and I’m learning for free.

These videos are helpful even after I've gotten my license to make me a better driver. I'm actually only starting to understand details even more

Oh and what is probably an important question (at least for me), you described upshifts for uphill, upshifts for downhill but not downshifts for uphill (changing gears for slowing down uphill).? I find that I tend to go down too late when traffic that emerged ahead forces me to slow down.

This is very good information.. thanks so much for this vid. Been learning how to drive a manual car. You explained it perfectly!

I love the sound effects and the thumbnail 🤣

Thanks for this, feels like mine is the only car without a tachometer. Super helpful! :)

Thank You Richard Manual Transmissions are Amazing

This man is an absolute legend!

I drive an '05 MAzda 3 s 2.3l, and I will say that the crude speeds in the beginning are actually surprisingly accurate. Personally, I go about a few mph below those speeds, but its still very very smooth at those crude speeds, in case anyone needs a good starting point.

This was very helpful thank you very much

Bro, i watched your videos. I was having a problem moving the car after watching your videos, I'm now driving 😊

Thanks. I'm still new at driving. This helped me so much. Cos I hv been finishing the petrol way to quickly cos of my gear changing 😅

Richard - you're the best and a year ago when I first started driving stick, I binged through all your tutorials and learnt so many things! One thing which I did realise though is that the sweet spot RPM really just depends on the car itself, and not the power of the engine. I drive a Subaru Liberty/Legacy H6 (which is by no means a low-powered car) and I found the sweet spot to be around 2500RPM. When I first bought it, I tried to keep the revs between 1000-2000RPM which you've recommended but the car felt underpowered / slow to respond and almost lugged in some instances. I spoke with the previous owner and he confirmed that I should downshift if I go below 2000RPM. I drove my friend's MR2 afterwards and my friend told me to keep it at around 3000(!)RPM. But the lower-powered car that my instructor had was a Mazda 2, and that car was happily cruising at around 1500RPM.
