I don't even know why I'm watching this 'cause I already know how to drive manual and have been doing so for quite a while now but this is very informative and entertaining. New drivers need to watch more of your videos. Cheers!
Thank you!
@@ConquerDriving i wish you made / have a playlist on like, beginners, advanced, tips and tricks type of stuff, i like your videos a lot. Not sure what more you have without intense searching
@@ConquerDriving also, can you please cover how to use new modern e brakes on manual cars when you're in a uphill. Thank you 😊👍
I'm answering your comment a year later but I'm in the exact same situation. I've been driving for years but I love to see his videos. I wish I had them when I was learning, it would have been smoother.
You're an amazing instructor
I’d just like to say thank you to this channel. I passed my test 3 years ago and didn’t get my own car until now. When I did I found myself stalling constantly, hills were impenetrable. I wondered why, and spent about a week watching your videos. Now I don’t stall at all, I’m much more comfortable with the clutch. Thanks a lot for ensuring my car wasn’t a waste of money.
You are putting driving instructers out of business mate...Thank you so much. Your videos probably saved my car.
I'm happy to hear the videos help!
@@ConquerDriving It definitely does, no doubt.
One question please. What techniques do you use, when you drive back ward with out wearing out your clutch? Maybe that could be next video. If you don't already have one.
I'm only halfway through this video and it's already tiers above any other clutch control video I've seen, and I've seen like most of them. Very good job man.
Thank you ☺
I passed my final test in October 2019. Your tips really helped me and i passed on the 1st attempt. Thank you Richard!
That's great news! I hope you're enjoying your licence.
how hard is it?
@@ynankwon1693 lol i failed the first time when pulling away forgot to press down hand brake.
I don't think i can pass even on second time.

@@minininjatorpedo4538 thx bro 🖒
Thank you from the US! Best channel I’ve ever seen for teaching stick. With your videos I’ve gone from never setting foot in a manual vehicle to daily driving one in a week.
Driven a manual since I got my licence in 2000. My dad did his best teaching me but definitely lots of by feel strategies were taught to me. So I am really enjoying these videos, so much clarity now ha! And I'm still learning alot! Thanks Richard😊
God damn it, why is it so hard for most instructors to explain some of these things, like 9:34? Thank you so much!
In my first 3 days of practicing a manual car I was always stalling. But after I watched this video I never stalled again. Thanks Richard.
Who is the mastermind behind the great captions? Never expected to be entertained learning for my driver's licennce.
This makes so much more sense to me now I’ve had my first lesson, you’re a star mate!
Your videos are so helpful and make me feel a lot more confident about clutch control and other basics that sometimes aren't explained that well in actual driving lessons. Thanks for taking the time to make them!
ive been watching a bunch of yt driving instructor videos for the past few months and your channel is THE best, keep up the good work
I'm watching all of his videos..I've never driven. So now learning.
I've had this question about breaking for a while now. I finally found someone who answered all my answers concerning the topic. Thank you so much. I just subscribed since I am a new learner for manual cars, I will be using your videos and tips for reference
One thing I’ve learned through my own learning of manual is that goal 1 is to be able to confidently get on the road and get where you need, whether the methods you do are “best” or not, so you can actually practice the best ways without fear. For example my first few days dailying manual, I was shifting into first and getting revs just as the cross traffic light turned yellow, so that all I had to do was get off the clutch properly. This allowed me to erase the fear of stalling, and focus on getting the timing and feel better comfortably
Thanks richard, this topic was driving me crazy (pun intended)as my instructor would tell me one thing and youtube would tell me another. But eventually I tried all methods and found out that gas and then clutch is the best way and feels more natural to me.
You're welcome, gas first before clutch is harder at first for most people but far safer in the long run.
Only exception is on a hill. If i lift the clutch up first to the bite point and then throttle, I can have minimal or no rollback at all.
I hear you have to use handbrake on hills in the UK, but here in Australia, it's never taught as mandatory. I find it a hassle to use handbrake unless the hill is really steep.
Very helpful videos. I have a stick shift and I find your videos the best ones on driving a stick. Your videos make a lot of common sense. Thanks for posting.
I watched your videos and on the first day of my training I could actually do more than any other students.. thanks for this. Great help!
This is the best video I've seen on these topics. Thanks for taking the time to explain all of the ways and why you prefer one over the other!
my instructor 14 years ago always wanted me to use a handbrake start untill one day i kind of snapped and revved high an let the clutch out a bit quick, what was funny was he said i moved away better than before except high revs, confusion much lol, i love this guy as i havnt driven in 9 years because i was stupid an drunk drove, so this i see as a fantastic refresher if i decide to even want to get my licence back
I'm a learner driver and I've had no problems with clutch control until I strated with driving school; I'd only been driving older cars where gas was necessary to get moving every time, and now I was driving a diesel with a more "touchy" clutch. This helped me with what to think about and I'd like to thank your simple way of explaining things!
I’m absolutely mind blown at all this knowledge! Thank you so much
I love the way you explain which I haven't seen such detail explanation in any CZcams video. You are brilliant 🚗
Thank you, I hope it helps.
I have had my Driver's license for 3 years and i drive for almost 2 years and today i learned about handbrake start! thanks!
Incredible content mate!
Very informative and complete video!!! Really helped me a lot. Watched this for about 45 minutes though, since I stopped the video a lot cuz I jot down all the tips. Again, thank you Richard!!
I'v been driving motorcycles for 10 years, and used to drive my dad's Ford 150 which was a pretty easy clutch control. I just bought a 07 Mustang Gt and I'm finding the clutch control moving from stop through 1st more difficult. Your videos are so so helpful my friend. From Houston Tx.
Thank you!
I like the method by using the brake cluch and gaz to move off up the hill . Your videos really helps thanks
Thank you so much for this playlist, I've saved so much money since I can actually focus on driving during my lessons rather than having things shown to me and explained constantly!
Thank you so much this help me a lot as I have driving lesson tomorrow.
Good luck 🤞
i watched everysingle one of your videos and passed today, thank you so much
So happy to help! Well done, I hope you enjoy your driving licence.
Hello my brother, my name is John from namibia I have learner's license and always I like to watching your videos and now I learn more about you, keep it up thanks so much 🙏💪
Many very useful info here again, thanks a lot 👍
From the time I use your method when braking (first brake, keep looking at revs and when below 1000, push the clutch down), my stopping improved massively - from very harsh to very smooth, so thank you sooooo much for all that knowledge you're sharing with us 👍
You're welcome!
Very helpful video, and I’ve been driving for more than 15 years.
Thank you.
Wow.... Cleared my doubts so quicky.
Thanks
Another brilliant and very informative video. This answered many of the questions I had as my instructor was teaching me different methods to yourself. I now know why and can decide which is best for me. Many thanks.
I'm happy to hear I'm helping you.
thanks for this, the clutch in my husbands car is becoming my nemesis! i seem to know what im doing in my instructors but i get into my hubbys and its like ive never turned a car on before. You've managed to explain in 1 video what he's been trying to explain for 5 weeks haha fingers are crossed this means I get it!
Watching you sitting back in Mumbai, I've already rectified a few flaws i was struggling with watching you, keep up the great work mate😃
Really enjoying your videos. Logical explanations and great teaching style. Thanks!
I passed my test in 2019 and got taught the handbrake way to set off. I'm now driving for the first time since in my husbands car and finding that his car doesn't do well on that and having to learn to do it without it and I panic when the car starts to roll. I also find the bite point first before the gas and learning that the car doesn't do well on that either so having to learn to do gas before clutch. It's proving very difficult but after finding your playlist on clutch control things make more sense now than they ever did. Thank you! 😊
You are the best driving lesson teacher ever ❤
Thanks dude your driving lessons were so helpful for me.
Thank you so much bru. You're such a good instructor.
I can tell by my 30 yrs of driving experience that u know ur stuff well because u faced them urself and hence ur a master in it.. great going and ur students will be delighted to learn from you! And of course u know these finer details because u are curious on small nuances just like how i learnt 😊 enjoy driving and teaching.. god bless you
A brilliant video! Clear and concise - expert advice.
What I particularly liked when comparing your methods to others on YT was that they spent to much time on talking theory and showing what people tend to do wrong. You focused mainly on showing how to do it properly and briefly explaining the differences between various methods.
Oh, and the super short description of what's wrong when car reacts in different ways - perfect.
Thank you! Good work!
I'm glad you like it, thank you ☺
American dude watching this. Despite being weirded out when you’re driving on the wrong side of the road this is super helpful. They only teach how to drive automatics here. Buying my first manual tomorrow.
Thank you. Your content is so valuable
The most detailed ive ever seen thank you sir!
You're welcome ☺
yo man thanks so much i was having mild clutch problems, i know how the clutch is supposed to work i just wasn't very good in practice this was mega helpful :)
I'm glad I helped :)
You are my favourite instructor rather than others
You explain very clearly and thanks a lot.
Best driving instructor on CZcams ❤
Great Tipps
I knew about Engine Braking before i learned to Drive.
I push the Clutch down when the RPM gets down to 1.200 RPM.
Today i am taking my 2nd driving lesson on manual driving. I am liking it :D
Good information, i have learnt something now.
This actually helped a lot thank you very much
This guy has saved my driving
Thanks for the lessons dear
Excellent explaination deserves 💯 million views.
Finally I understood some things. Thank you very much !
I'm glad to be of help :)
Your technics are very helpful
this video is very important for people learning to drive tractors too
This is by far the most concise video I've seen about driving manual on CZcams. Most videos just mention about how to find the bite point then apply gas and the shift pattern. Your video explains everything about slowing down, foot positioning on the clutch, what happens if you do A, B, or C.
Thank you.
What a video! A gem, thanks for the info.
One of the best instructive videos out here in YT..Definitely subscribing for the hill lesson. Thanks!
You're welcome, the hill video was uploaded on Monday.
@@ConquerDriving Awesome. See you there! :)
Great video!
I accidentally got into a bad habit of letting up the clutch first when I was just practicing in the driveway as its easier to control the car that way for a beginner, but in the real world its way better to build up revs with the gas first and then ease up the clutch.
Trying to navigate a busy roundabout using the clucth first method would be a disaster!
Once again Richard, fabulous information, thanks a million...😀
You're welcome ☺
Appreciate this video a lot, getting the necessary understanding of the clutch will always allow you to be able to drive a car much more smoothly, as your clutch control is better
Thank you.
Браво мајсторе 👍
Love your videos man so helpful
Great video!
Now I know better about clutch control. I didn't know the are several ways to use the clutch, all thanks to this video 👍
You're welcome.
Very informative and clarify a lot confusions I have.
You're welcome ☺
Thank you Richard
I m learning more each time i watch ur videos than i did during my practical learning.. Great job....
Thank you ☺
The last bit of tips from 12:30 is gold.
You are the best driving instructor i ever come across with including CZcams.. 👍👌
😊 Thank you.
Thank you for the wonderful explanation 👍
You're welcome
Thanks for these videos. Helps alot! 👏👏👏♥️
From Canada you are amazing GOD bless you
gosh, there came a point where I thought i'd got through most of your really good/relevant videos, but i just realised they weren't being recommended by the algo and i had to go looking for them xD
Thanks man best teacher ever
even im an old driver but i liked the video its helpful and you have smart way of teaching
Thank you
This is very helpful with a lot of useful tips. thanks for the video!
You're welcome.
Awesome job.
Thanks you .. For your produces videos, I get a lot of experience through watching your video. Keep it up 👍👍👌👌and you can produce more and more videos. Thank you....
God tier video! Thank yo
Your video is very helpful! I've driven close to 32000 km at this point and never learned these skills due to my former instructor literally just sitting there being vague for the most part, and the fact no one I know drives a manual doesn't help either. This is the first (of many) videos I've watched on the subject that really goes into detail on the advantages and disadvantages of each technique. Definitely subbing for this. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, I'm happy to hear you appreciate it.
Jealous down u know ur STUFF!......I have a driver's license and I'm only perfecting the skill now from watching ur TUTORIALS!.......ignore negative comments......ur techniques work 💯% of the time!
Hey new subscriber here.I have not drove a manual car in over 8 years feel like I got to learn all over again thanks for the vid bro
I wish you luck 🤞
You are good teacher
Because of you I know how to driving God bless you I'm in South Africa but citizen Congo
Thanx for the tutorial. Very helpful
You're welcome
Lots of good tips here, thanks :)
You're welcome!
Absolutley wonderful, educational and you are very entertaining. Greetings from Mexico City !
Thank you. Greetings to you too.
Very Very Educative.. Thanks man
You're welcome
test in two weeks so excited
Good luck!
Thank you soooooo much for these videos . I finally passed my test after numerous attempts
That's great news, congratulations on passing!
My problem was to do with realising the handbrake on time rather than the clutch control but I guess with more practice I'll get better at it. Great video!
Thank you.
Great video, thanks, I'm driving heavier car now and did have problems, lighter car was more responsive without adding much gas, now it's different, and new car has a lot more horsepower. I'll try with more gas. Thanks again, very good lesson.
You're welcome and good luck 🤞
