I tried to teach my daughter to drive a manual several years ago, (driver's ed does not, ) and failed miserably. You have out-dadded me, sir! We watched your videos, got in the mustang, she nails the heel-toe and double clutch in 15 minutes. Made that 4.6 sing! My syncros and I thank you!

Hope you guys like the foot cam action for Toe-Heel downshifting!

I’ve been studying music since I was 5 (about 20 years now) and I’ve been looking into driving a manual and the fact that you used the music reference instantly made it so much easier. THANK YOU!!!

When I was teaching my kids to drive, I taught them both how to heel-toe (sorry Casey, I'm old, and that's the term I always heard). My daughter practiced it a bit, but it was a tool she didn't always use. My son, OTOH... When he took his first track school at 16, his instructor came up to me after his first session and said, "what did you do to him? He rev-matches better than I do."

There's nothing like the feeling you get when you nail a perfect heel-toe for the first time. Or the feeling you get trying to duplicate it for a couple hours afterward and can't haha

But tons of practice made driving my old '65 140 horse Corvair Monza a joy.

Back in the '80's when my dad taught me drive stick in a '62 Austin Healey Sprite I was restoring. He insisted we would stop on the hill on the way home and make me practice clutch slipping and not creeping backwards, till I had it down. I later had to learn double clutching to prolong the life of Sprite clutch. Freaked my son out the other day when I did it the other day in my Boxster, just for grins. Keep up the great content sir.

Hey Casey, hello from Philly and thanks for the videos for beginners. My husband died recently and left me his 2016 Subaru WRX. Never drove stick in my life and I just got in it and went. I still have a lot to learn but definitely more confident from watching. If you know of any pro drivers out here who give a lesson or 2 I’d love to master this car! It was his baby.

Installs foot cam. Wears dad shoes. Epic!

[steeliewheelies]

I was wondering why my heel-toe was so difficult. Who knew I could just customize the pedals to make it more comfortable and in effect, easier. Thank you for the tips!

he wears the same shoes as takumi from initial d

[watcherofthingsthatrkekano]

Loving the casual shoe, A comfortable fit shoe is also important for a good foot feel on the pedals.

12:28 I love how your "troll" voice is so close to Marvin the Martian
haha

[dastrayer]

Glad to see that I'm not the only one that double clutches down shifts out of old habit...just trolling to ad content. Hope this helps. Thanks for the video, who you are, and what you do. :)

"Casey your watch is on upside down" trollololol

Getting a ‘90 Miata in March as my first manual at 16 can’t wait to learn to drive it thanks for the tips!

I love the mechanics of a manual transmission

Thank you Casey for bringing some nice relaxing car content and giving some really good advice to the other youngsters.

The tps in my falcon is going bad so I have gotten very good at left foot braking to stop the engine stalling itself recently. So even experienced drivers (only 19 but been driving/racing since I was 11) like me have been learning race skills for every day life.

Just got my first manual 2 days ago. Thanks to your videos ive been having a great experience with it so far.
