getting through 1st gear without stalling is always the hardest part for beginners

[Adrianthegr]

You have a nice friend letting you practice with his car.

[RafShi]

Perks to the owner of the car for letting you learn on it, my anxiety would literally blow up if that was my car.

Videos Title: FIRST TIME DRIVING MANUAL "It's been awhile since I drove manual" Well which part are you lying about bud 😂

[jamazonnewyork]

having driven manual for so many years it was hard to watch someone learn but also cool to see other people willing to learn how to drive like a pro

About three weeks ago, I found my dream car, but it was manual and I have never driven one before. I bought my car one week after I found it and over the course of that week, I drove four times. So two weeks ago I brought the car home and I’ve been driving stick since and it’s been amazing! I’ll never go back to an automatic and I’m still learning.

this is fun!! coming from a country where most cars are manual, it is very cool to watch someone going from auto to manual, and that turbo is fire!!!

100% focus, no distractions. No time to check messages or make phone calls. Should be mandatory.

[joewallace]

Bro letting you use his car and being so chill and knowing and being able to teach you, that's what I call a good friend

[johannesberg]

Just some friendly advice for anyone that learns to drive a manual transmission car. Before you try to start moving, just keep the car i neutral and get a feel for the gas pedal. Use mabye 1-2 minutes to get a feeling of how sensitive it is, keep the revs consistent at a certian number. So when you are ready to start moving, you keep the revs consistent at about 1000-1500 (depends on the car), and then release the clutchpedal slowly. This helped me tremendously when I was learning.

[NjoyMoney]

The trick your friend didnt tell you is to hold the clutch at the point where the car starts moving, and when you feel the car having good momentum you can finally release it fully. When you feel the car moves, hold you foot EXACTLY at that position for a second or two to let the car get moving, otherwise you got it 😁

Ps. you were right about the shifter, the shifter wants to be in the middle where gear 3 and 4 are, so if you want 3rd you dont move the shifter to the sides at all, you just push forward, and backwards for 4th

Im actually soo happy ive never stalled driving a manual الحمد لله

[CamcorderSteve]

Reminded me of when I started to learn to drive back in the 1960s. It took me about five or 6 driving lessons with a professional instructor to feel reasonably comfortable. Now it's second nature. When to change gear is all about listening to the engine, when the pitch of the engine gets high then change up, I do it instinctively. Everybody does it slightly differently, no two drivers drive the same way, just a question of what feels right for you.

[teambanny]

Taking off is kicking my ass right now 😂 I can change gears fine down shift fine but first gear and letting the car move is crazy work 😂😂

[jasonrend]

My dad would yell at me everytime fucked up when I was learning 😂😂😂

[andreaneal]

Wayyy better than I could’ve done!! 🤩👏🏻

[EdgarMendezz]

I don't know if it''s just me, but I feel the less complicated you put it the easier it is to drive stick. I'm practiced today in a 1994 honda accord. In this car you can't just use the clutch to start the vehicle in 1st gear.
What I did was give it a light tap of gas right before the biting point, and slowly let go of the clutch. If I feel the car begin to give up and shut off, I give it another tap of gas.

One question though for the experienced guys. When you reverse do you guys tend to sometimes ride the clutch or do yall let go of it completely and disengage it as needed for control of the vehicle.

[FlacoBryan]

i didn’t do this bad my first time learning the only that was scary was that roll back in those hills

[josephcastro]

Just attempted manual for the first time today, I got in and drove like with no issue somehow 😂

[JupiterMan.]

It took me around 6 Months to learn Manual.

Practice is Key
