Step 1: Get to the parking lot with 0 experience driving manual

My dad when teaching me how to drive stick. "Just let off the clutch and press the gas." I stalled every single time until my older bro told me to ease off the clutch and press the gas and to work them together to keep the car going. I sometimes think my dad gave me bad instructions on purpose.

As soon as he spoke, I knew I would understand

I passed my exam a year ago, I got a car very quickly, I started to drive regularly - and I still have problems with the basics. Embarrassing. It's all fine when I don't think about shifting gears or focusing on stalling. But when I'm too focused on it, I simply can't drive. Because I have an anxiety disorder, being calm while driving, and not thinking about transmission, is something complicated to manage for me. Sometimes I'm so stressed that I'm shaking and even don't hear the radio/music, and I'm just paranoid that I would stall or do something crazy. I thought about giving up and selling my car, but I really would like to master it. It's funny, I really do like cars and driving, I always have fun on parking lots - I like to play with steering wheel when on tiny and tight places. But when I'm on the streets, my stress level is so high that I'm stalling my car very often and can't drive smoothly without wrenching. :/

Wow, what a throwback. I learned to drive my first car, which was a manual Sentra hand me down, from your M5 video way back in the day. Makes me nostalgic

Great video. I first learned how to drive a manual on a 1985 300ZX. I had issues in the early goings, but once i learned it... i loved it. I had to take the car over. After that, i went to a manual Honda Prelude & now a 2015 audi S5

awesome video! just bought a new Miata and hearing your verbal directions of how to upshift really made a difference

My first manual was a Mustang Gt, 1985.
The salesman drove the car for me.
The next day spent 8 hours over the price, and trade in, a Mercury Capri auto.

Brother I really appreciate this video ! Just got my first manual car and this helped a lot especially the “biting “ point on the clutch. Thank you 🙏

Manual is easy. You have 1st to 6th. If you cannot beat the opposition in second, throw it into R for Racing mode!!!

[richielombardi]

Excellent video, the best I’ve seen on this topic

[kwesselmann]

This is the best example I've seen in this genre of demonstrating and clearly explaining at the same time, and the first one I'm sharing with my daughter to augment our in-car lessons.
