I've been driving manual transmission for 25 years. This is a great tutorial for anyone who's learning. Very clear and very precise! Nice job and well done!

Countless tutorials out there. This one is the best. Less than 5 minutes, addresses all important points. Subscribed with pleasure

Having consumed a ton of videos on how to change gears, this one is the best. Precise and accurate to the point. Long videos had confused me.

I know it's been a while since you posted the video, but I find it the best one I can find so far! It's very clear and I love how you explain and show closely exactly what and when you are doing (and why). My driving instructor was pretty basic and was just like don't stall it, don't rev too high, don't burn my clutch and don't roll backwards into another car. If you don't do all that you are doing amazing! (my best advice is since then: when someone only tells you what not to do and never explains what you should do, ask some serious questions or stop listening to them and find a better instructor/teacher)

Fantastic video (like all your videos) - most helpful driving videos on the internet in my opinion. Quick question - when you change DOWN a gear and you're holding the clutch at the bite point for a bit longer, do you add gas BEFORE you raise the clutch all the way (as you demonstrated when changing UP a gear)? Or do you raise the clutch all the way and THEN add gas?

Going to try this on my way home from work. It’s been a hell of a time learning this in a hilly area lol. 1st to 2nd has been my hardest thing to understand with the clutch. I shift into second and either clutch out to slow or too fast, and I don’t use gas at the bite point.

Quickest and easiest explanation. Major 👍

Best explanation soo far (have gone through too many videos to count) you explain WHEN, HOW, and WHY too well.
Thanks my guy
