Nobody explains gear changes anywhere near as in depth as anyone as you mate, well done! Keep this up!

I was facing this jerking movement while changing gears from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3, applying the second technique really helps...holding the bite point for some time and then apply little gas, then slowly releasing the clutch makes it so smooth. Thanks for the tip

This man is honestly a driving Saint. Free and valuable information and advice. A kind soul who has many respectful subscribers. Thank you for the content.

Good explanation, my teachers did not do a good job explaining it to me, had to figure it out on my own, the key word you explained here is "gently release the gas" like theres still revs in the engine.

[zoomjoo]

I've always heard never to add gas while you hold the clutch at the bite point on an upshift, but i always felt it was smoother, and felt that smoother was better for the clutch, the engine, the transmission. every time i do it its so smooth, it feels like it can't be bad for the car, so i'm glad to hear you do it too.

[shaunstuart]

My Father in law and wife complain that I balance clutch, engine revs and gas when changing up gear. I showed them this and I am now vindicated. 👍👍

I’ve been teaching myself how to drive manual, but these videos are by far and a way the best when it comes to showing all the details you need in clear easy to understand manner. Definitely brought some more polish to how I’m driving now!

[drumobsession]

I’ve been driving for almost a year, why am I watching this again? Your videos still somehow really intrigue me to watch coz of how clear you are with the videos even though I can already drive, trying to get my gear shifts to absolute perfection!

[susannadj]

You are a better driving teacher than mine at this moment. He always gets irritated every time I slowed down as I shift gears... Thank you for the assurance that as a beginner, slowing down is a natural thing...

[justashzz]

You're a better teacher than my live in person instructor. You explain your reasoning, what you should expect, and the how to. Perfect . Subbed and definitely sharing your channel for buddies learning to drive

[bahiziian]

Damn man who ever is bein taught by this man is blessed clean lessons😊❤
