Clutch control is always seems hard, but to watch this clip several times you became perfect. Thanks mate.

[galaxyforlifexx]

You are very honest instructer I would say. Usually these little tricks never been taught by instructers.

[jipbap]

Clutch control is my weakest part and this video is really helpful. Thanks!

[Martindyna]

Excellent explanation of clutch bite point, learners don't always realise that you need to stop moving the clutch pedal once the bite point has been reached until the car has gathered speed.

This video does the best job at explaining clutch control honestly. Some of these other youtubers throw in so much unnecessary information rather than really getting to the point including the details. Being between 1-2000 rpm was something I wasn’t really told or seen in these videos.

Finding the biting point always gets me nervous and I often mess it up. This video makes it seem easier, hope it helps. Thank you mate!

Just bought my manual today. Haven't had any practice, and now i finally get to enjoy the bond between me and my car. it's gonna be crazy. Your instructions are clear and concise and have made me feel more confident ! Thank you

[TigerZ]

Watched this a couple nights ago. It honestly helped me develop an exercise I can practice wherever I am. Ever since then my technique has improved and I didn't stall at all today. You rock ma' guy!!😭💪

I fell most driving instructors like to 'cheat' to make their lives a little easy by having diesel cars and teaching people to start the car with clutch only, I only took 4 lessons with my driver instructor than I had to part away, first, he told me I always start the car with clutch only than giving some gas once I find the bite, only to start to yell why I didn't give it gas first at the start 2 lessons latter when we where on the road, now I have my own car, a petrol car and god, starting the car with clutch only is a nightmare

[ceeyah]

It'll go down a bit like this "Nnhhmmm mm"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great video thou

[WunderwaffePrime]

I started driving lessons recently and my instructor recommends a lot of your videos, after watching this one, I can see why. Already feeling a lot less nervous about having another lesson tomorrow, thank you.

1. Put the clutch all the way down then hold it,
2. Go into first gear,
3. Handbrake off,
4. Accelerate to around 1500RPM, then hold it there
5. Check surroundings (from your left overshoulder, to left mirror, to front mirror, to right overshoulder then right mirror)
6. Lift clutch to bite point, then hold it steady. After the tyres have fully rotated around 3 times (roughly moving forward the length of a go), let go of the clutch and you’re driving.

Just had my first driving lesson today, it wasn’t that bad. Stalled three times then it was fine

[grettalwaba]

Been looking for a short and ‘straight to the point’ clip on how to drive a manual car and this was JUST PERFECT! 👍 Thank you!

[mkr___]

really good guide for people who went from the driving school's diesel car to a petrol one

[jodi]

No one gonna talk about how much he looks like Freddie mercury

[cbv]

Thank you very much!!! You explain things perfectly. I haven't stalled in ages since I tried the technique of holding the clutch at the biting point instead of slowly moving it off.

[noahsmith]

You were straight to the point and not like other videos where people took 10 minutes to come to the point.

And u explained everything extremely well.

There are 3 types of learners. Visual, auditory and kinesthetic.

Visual learners learn more by seeing,
Auditory learners learn more by hearing
And kinesthetic learners learn more by doing it in repetitions ( moving their body etc.)

Your explanations was a mix of everything which was great for every type of learner.

I cannot thank you enough. Great video

Ps: I had read that it takes a few hours to few days to learn driving but I learnt driving in 1 hour because of your video. My parents were amazed.
