⬇️Scotty’s Top DIY Tools:

⬇️ Things used in this video:
1. Common Sense

[dawsac]

*Summary*
1. Don’t coast on N going downhill, stay on D or lower gears.
2. Don’t shift to P before the car stops, reach complete stop.
3. Try to keep fuel level above quarter full.
4. Don’t drive with a spare tire for long period of time, get it changed ASAP.
5. Use the emergency / handbrake when parking uphill / downhill.
6. In case of water slipping into the transmission, tow it to a mechanic for service.
7. Overloading your car during hot weather can cause transmission to oxidize - premature wear and tear on the transmission.
8. Check car’s Manuel before towing for the max capacity of the car.
9. Make sure to warm up the engine before moving in cold (snowy) environment.

My uncle taught me to always park my car with the emergency brake before putting the gear into park to prevent wearing down the transmission. He's been a mechanic 50 plus years

The wealth of knowledge I have learned about cars in the last 2 weeks since I found Scotty's channel is incredible. I went from knowing very little about the inner workings of vehicles to knowing a lot of what I need to know.

I drive a Nissan Sunny (manual) in Sri Lanka and I love it. I always prefer manual because of the control it gives me. I don't know about US. But when you take the exam for your driver's license and you decided to drive an automatic car with the examiner, you are not allowed to drive manual vehicles. If you drove a manual, you are allowed to drive a car with any kind of transmission.

Scotty……
A lot of people with Automatics don’t know how to use the E-Brake 🚨 when parked on a hill, …
So I’m going to say it one more time…
Whenever you park on a hill,

1st shift the car into neutral, while holding the Brake pedal.

2nd Engage your E-Brake and Let go of the brake pedal slowly, so the car can level. (Your E-Brake must hold the cars weight)

3rd put the car into Park, Boom done ✅…

If you do this, you won’t get that Thump sound on the transmission when you shift into Drive from Park…
You are Welcome

One of the things mentioned in this video that I do is shift from reverse to drive before I’m fully stopped, I’m glad to have learned what the effects of that are. I will make an effort to break that habit

First vehicle I drove when I got my license at 16 was a 5 speed manual. I drove in traffic heavy
Seattle/surrounding area for years in it. I'd have a pop in one hand and a burger in the other shifting gears in traffic lol. Back then I thought it was so cool that you could start your vehicle by rolling it and popping the clutch. Nothing but automatics for me now.

Last time I was this early, Scotty didn't have his 94 Celica.

Not gonna lie Scotty, when my brother first showed me your channel I thought you were a crazy person, but you're one of the most intelligent and interesting people I've ever watched! Love all your tips and helpful videos!

[sleepydragonzarinthal]

come to a complete stop, and set the parking/e brake WHILE STILL PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. When getting in to drive, push the brake pedal BEFORE releasing the parking/e brake.

[realrome]

Scottys been my favourite YouTube mechanic for several years . He deserves to be in the position he’s in! Love your videos pal!

[robb]

I love manual always will Scotty for all the reasons you said above.

[danschram]

Back in the 60s, we referred to one of our friends as Hydromatic because he was shiftless. Lol

[rodneypiper]

Love Scotty's informative videos. Learn a lot and I have a technician like Scotty. He's saved me lots of money. Tells me to not waste my money when needed. Who creates Scotty's graphics and mechanical animation. Easy to follow. Thank you Scotty!!!! You're the best!!!

If I park on any kind of an incline, I always put my parking brake on before I release the brake pedal.

[drawbridge]

Most people have no idea HOW to set the parking brake with an automatic. Stop the vehicle. Shift into neutral. Set the parking brake hard enough so the vehicle doesn't move. Then and only then shift into Park.
