(9) How to: Manual Transmission Upshifting Clutch Release

When you are not stuck in bumper to bumper traffic you do not need to do those super slow clutch releases. If you are having problems with the upshift clutch release it is very easy if you "2 step" it. Bring clutch up from floor you will feel it engage then bring your foot totally off. Unless you are racing don't pop your foot off straight from the floor or you will put a lot of shock into your clutch and drive train and possibly destroy your clutch disk, very easy to do on factory original clutches especially one on a light flywheel. The springs used to dampen vibrations will rip out and jam your clutch not allowing it to release. If your clutch is worn or you cannot feel your engagement point so well then bring up the clutch smooth for the first couple of inches then bring it off. Try not to do very slow clutch releases because they slow down your shift and and are not needed if you are not stuck in traffic.

This is honestly probably the hardest part of learning manual, thank you for demonstrating, it was very clear and I loved the repeated counting.

I don’t understand why your channel isn’t blowing up. You are LITERALLY the best at explaining how to drive manual. All the other videos are trash. Your explanation is so good. I finally can say I learned how to drive manual on YouTube

your tutorials are awesome and straight to the point. this is the good video to prevent people from riding the clutch.

Finally someone who explains it slowly and clearly and repeats now and then, these other kids talkin so fast and showin off

5 years later and your still helping the community my friend. Foot lingering om the clutch between gears, great wording. I thought it was just a bad clutch, no it was just me!! Im working at a car auction so its a bunch of old buckets I got the chance to get a decent amount of practice.🙃

Very helpful video! Thank you very much! I would always let the clutch out slower than I should and this video helped a lot

Thank you much for this video. My instructor hasn't covered this in any of my 26 lessons😒. I'm struggling with this cause there's usually a jerking effect. Hopefully I'll do better after this video🙏🙂
