When I taught my wife, she was so paranoid about stalling at a stop light or sign, and making the people behind bet mad. I just told her, if they are impatient, that means they don't recognize the car is a manual, and probably can't drive it themselves so screw them and take your time.

Who else’s dad just yelled at them until you got the hang of it 😂😂

The secret to never stalling is flooring it while slowly releasing the clutch.

If anyone tells you they've never stalled a manual, they've either never driven one, or they're LYING!

Key to never stalling when starting. Rev to red line, then dump the clutch 👍

[alextowers]

The simple trick that I was taught was that when you hear the engine juddering and feel you're about to stall, dip the clutch all the way in, set more revs and slowly bring the clutch up again. I don't use it now but it was very useful in my first few lessons.

If you get the first gear the rest of the gears are easy

Drive manual till it's automatic.

I'm 45, my first car was a manual and I've owned them all my life. I remember the stress of being stopped while on in incline and knowing I'd roll back some before I could get the clutch engaged -that was stressful as a new driver. I think this video is actually a great idea given how many young people don't know how to drive a stick. Well done!

For me as a German it is weird to call an automatic a "normal car".

How do i get to a parking lot without knowing how to drive a manual

Biggest tip

Find the sweet spot and lead with the clutch, once you find the sweet spot the car won’t stall but be able to move forward by itself from here you hit the gas slowly while at the same time releasing the clutch; for people who learned to drive autos first like me and are right handed and footed, really really think about using the clutch; the gas /right foot movement is already implanted in your muscle memory but you have to concentrate to Learn to use your left foot and think about it hard, e.g. lifting weights and thinking about the muscle you’re training (hence lead with the clutch) this helped me a lotttt when I learned

I initially learned to drive on an automatic car and always thought of driving as one of the most dull, lackluster activities that would almost put me to sleep with boredom... i then moved in with someone who had a manual and taught me to drive stick, i am now attending automotive repair classes so i can learn how to keep cars running and are looking to buy a manual car for myself because this makes driving fun!

[Createdifyable]

I have never driven a manual ( I plan on getting one) and have seen multiple video's on how to drive one and your video is by far the most thoroughly explained and demonstrated. Thx a lot.

Edit: 4 years later and I have been driving a manual for 2 years. Some of the most fun I've ever had :)

In my own experience, the secret to never stalling can be summarised by the following idea:

You're only gonna stall when you're taking off, so when you're taking off make sure to give the car a decent amount of petrol as you release the clutch. That prevents the car from stalling even if you release the clutch a little faster than normal. You can obviously hear, so don't give it too much petrol that it's loud but don't try to force yourself to take off with no petrol every time. There is no point. As a new driver, if you give it some fuel each time you take off, even on flat roads, that helps a lot in getting used to the control point and the whole process of taking off and eventually, you will be able to do with no petrol if you want to.

So again in summary, the secret to never stalling is giving your car enough petrol while you're taking off, even if you're on a flat road. That way when you release the clutch you will not stall and although some takeoffs can be jerky in the beginning, you get used to releasing the clutch slow enough that every takeoff is smooth.

maybe its more fun to drive, but its also way harder to steal

Respect from all hoods. Pray for my friend, hes ok, but Im going to be practicing in his car so.

[holy_seagull]

The thing I've found most difficult with learning a Manual is dealing with the idiots and impatient people around you. Stalling at a stop sign and having someone lay on the horn behind you is not very fun and definitely gets u nervous.

[strmtrooperx]

I just bought a manual VW GLI a couple of weeks ago and had 4 days with my dad to learn. I'm very lucky because he is a truck driver and instructor but was still a lot to cram into me within 4 days. I still stall here and there usually on an incline but I've progressed so much in the last couple of weeks. I'm still trying to figure out how to make my downshifts smoother and definitely going to use the tips you mentioned! Thank you 😊
