5 Things To NEVER Do In A Manual Car

5 things you should always avoid doing when you drive a manual car, SUBSCRIBE for more!

[_multiverse_]

1 Don't rest your hand on the shifter.
2 Don't use the clutch to hold yourself on a hill.
3 Don't lug your engine.
4 Don't shift too early if you're planning on accelerating quickly. (Basically the same as 4)
5 Don't rest your foot on the clutch.

I only shift at 6500rpm after the Vtec kicked in

Somebody watched Engineering Explained

But who the fuck rest his feets on the clutch pedal, who does that, explain it to me

You know he's Canadian when he said "oUt"😂

I remember when I bought my car I knew I wanted stick shift but I was still pretty nervous. Now I drive like a pro a year later. the hardest part about stick shift is understanding why you have to do what ur doing. Once that makes sense, it’s like riding a bike

I've been drive a manual car and truck since I was learning to drive. I'm 26 now, and everything that was talked about in this video is true from a mechanics prospective, since my uncle is our family mechanic. He says exactly the same thing, and I've figure this stuff out on my own too with all the years I've been drive these vehicles. These are older cars though, so I never knew there was a hill assist in some of these newer cars. That would be a very good thing to have.

I thought putting that crown royal boot was one of the reasons

Great video with some good advice here for people with less experience. :-)

High gears and low revs with lots of throttle is called 'Labouring an engine'.

Think of it like a push bike with 27 gears. Being in 1st gear is easy peasy and it doesn't take much pressure to turn the crank, no matter how fast or strong you peddle. Whereas 27th gear and forcing the gears and chain with all your leg power will put more strain on the mechanical components. The lower the gear means a lot less torque through the system. Exactly the same as our dear cars :-)

Thanks again for vid !

Your facts ordering is a lot like Engineering Explained's "5 Things You Should Never Do In A Manual Transmission Vehicle" video, and he did it 1 year before you.

Facts ordering(Yours):
1. Don't rest your hand on the gear shifter.
2. Don't use your clutch to hold yourself on a hill.
3. Don't Lug your engine. [Pre-ignition will happen and you will damage engine btw.]
4. Don't lug your engine part 2.
5. Don't rest your foot on the clutch pedal.

Engineering Explained's ordering:

Never get road head cause you’ll just keep grinding the gears

Good video. Driven a stick for 50+ years and your advice is spot on. But please STOP calling the parking brake an E-brake. It can be used in an emergency but its primary use is for parking. Particularly in a standard.

I just started driving a 5 speed 4 cylinder manual Nissan and these videos helped, especially your speed shift video. Being comfortable driving a manual in St Louis is a little difficult because most of the drivers here are extremely reckless and aggressive, but hopefully with time driving a stick becomes natural

Just started learning. Thanks for the tips. I've watched so many videos already because I want to take good care of my car so I already knew all of these like you said, but the explanations were great. Only one I'm guilty of is the first one, but not badly. I just rest a finger or two on it so I don't take long to shift when I need to, but I don't keep much weight on it at all because my elbow is always on the center console. Thanks for the tips, subbing 😁

I absolutely love hill starting. Forced myself to learn early on driving manual and am so grateful for it.

How 'bout not leaving the transmission in gear with the clutch pedal depressed while waiting at a stoplight to prevent the throwout bearing from wearing out prematurely (shift into neutral & release the clutch pedal instead).

[borisdimitrov]

When you are waiting at a set of lights, don't leave your car in gear with the clutch pressed in, take it out of gear and use the E brake as mentioned on the hill starts. The reason being is that when you hold your clutch depressed for too long you will start to wear down the throwout bearing and when that thing goes you will find it hard shifting gears and might need a new clutch.

First time on your channel, this was quite informative so I subscribed.

in the uk if you pass your driving test in a automatic its illegal to drive a manual. you have to take a test in a manual then you can drive a auto or a manual. ...
