Once you learn to drive manual its the most fun experience you will ever have in a car most importantly you’ll learn to drive better then in any automatic .

I did this in my Z, was by myself. That ride from the dealership was scary as hell.

I dunno how this got into my feed, but it was fun to watch... also, you did really well for being new to manual. When I was younger, pretty much everybody's first car was a manual so it was just normal... the more you drive (especially stop and go traffic), you'll know how to drive your ride better than anyone with an automatic can. There's just something really good about having that level of control. Cheers, fam. Have fun.

Bought a manual in 2019. Watched manual driving videos for two weeks straight. Stalled twice driving out of the dealership. Once you learn, it's fun as hell!

You did like scarily well for someone who's never driven stick before. On the hill you were letting out the clutch too early, you gotta hold the clutch at the bite point just a little longer and just give it a little more gas than you normally would on flat ground. Honestly just drive for the next week and you'll be good. I did the same exact thing, I live in Boston and drove a rental car to NYC to buy my Subaru BRZ, without knowing how to drive manual. Stalled at everylight getting out of the city, and was terrified of hills. But just week of driving I was good.

This was me last year lmao bought a car at a dealership and after sale was complete told the salesman thankyou now off to learn how to drive it😂 his face expression was hilarious had to drive it 45 minutes to work next day 😂

this guy learned to drive a manual, and drove it better than I drive mine, and i've had mine for over a year 😂

There is an easy way. Hold the clutch to the biting point before letting go of the break then once you let go of the break, press on the gas and let go of the clutch like how you gonna move on a flat surface. Learning manual is also how whoever teaching you is good at explaining it, not skipping steps and giving you tips.

Nice ride. I’ve had an 06 G35c 6mt for 10 years and still enjoy the daily drive. One big thing new manual drivers forget to do is rev-match on down shifts. Obviously you want to master stop-n-go and hills first, but once you get those down, make sure to blip the throttle on downshifts to get a smooth transition between gears. It will make performance driving so much smoother and more fun.

Extremely impressive how well you did I learned stick in a 3inch lifted 98 tj jeep with a 340hp 4.7 stroker and it was absolutely hell but now 3 years later im very experienced and comfortable although I do personally like paddles more sorta best of both worlds

We ALL had these moments bro, excited that youre trying something fun!

Did this myself for my WRX STI a few years ago, Had a friend who already owned one drive it home, then took the next week off at work and spent a lot of that time driving around. Very happy that I made that decision, driving feels so much better since then. My first hill was in the middle of bumper to bumper traffic at a stop light and that was probably the worst experience in my life. But hey I learned how to do hills very fast thanks to that.

Im glad people can still do this. Imagine trying to teach someone and their fear wont let them. I hope more people do this lol

Dude you killed it! I learned to drive manual after swapping my project car and boy was I bad 😂 practiced for a month and then started racing. You should’ve seen me stalling at the hill to my apartment complex. Subscribed to your channel man!

I got a 13 g coupe 6mt. I've yet to let it die. It has so much torque compared to the 8th gen 4dr civic si I used to have it seems almost impossible. When you have it in first have it to atleast 1500 rpms when you're letting off the clutch and gassing. Learning the vibe/biting point and down shifting while bliping the throttle right when you hit gear(rev matching)is also the most essential parts of driving stick along with clutch breaking in traffic and gear breaking into 2nd when taking turns. It takes time but the sense of accomplishment is like no other.

Drive at night, helps a ton for you and other drivers so you ain’t stalling at every hill/light. My biggest fear of learning was the hill. Being so scared to roll back into someone at a red light. Just learn your clutch “bite point” and you’ll be on easy street bruh. 🔥 you already 80% the way there!!

I like the energy in this video. Keep up the good work man, I love stick shift vehicles. My truck that I own now is stick shift and I feel like automatic is a downgrade at this point. Never been stranded on an old manual transmission.

Good for you. I learned how to drive on a stick shift so its natural as druving for me but its nice to see people get into a manual.

I mess with the vids bro, you got the right personality, keep it up, stay consistent

So crazy how quickly you learned the concept of it, maybe I just had a shitty teacher but I couldn't stop stalling and was riding the clutch, giving too much gas, jerking the shit out of the car when I first learned haha so good job bro

Oh shit.. I ain’t know you had a g before the 6mt.. hella respect for keeping wit the VQs 💯💯

The title made me think of my first car that I bought with my money, about a year ago I picked up a 2016 Hyundai Veloster r spec. I went 2hrs from my city to check out a 8th gen SI but It had sold same day, so after lookin around for other coups in the same city. I came across the Veloster, after having my stepdad test drive it, and finishing paper work. It came down to me having to drive the thing with no previous experience 2 hrs to my house. Unforgettable moment stalling it at 4-6 six times in that single drive lol. But now I shift without even thinking about it and I do not regret any moment I’ve had with this car. 👍 on the video and congrats on the car

This was my case too lol, I bought my first car with a 6 speed not knowing how to drive it, but I learned it like in a week! Best decision I ever made!

This brings me back when I bought a wrx without knowing how to drive manual (I knew what I wanted) so I had to learn myself since I lived alone. Learning wasn’t difficult, but since I live in the city, I felt so nervous since it’s always busy so I had to stay up till midnight and find some parking lot that’s empty. It took a while to get used too but all worth it in the end.

Atleast you trying bro! It's mad easy once you get the rythem down and seems like you understand the concept 💯

I did that with my civic it was my first car too , I’ve been driving manual for like 3-4 years now and hills are still a pain sometimes in my 37 , rev matching tho is so satisfying

Man you could not have chosen a more difficult first manual car due to its engagement point being so high congrats and well done

Props to you! I've been driving a manual since I was 16 and just recently bought myself a manual Hyundai Veloster N. Driving is so much more fun with 3 pedals😁

yo you too funny i laughed hard when you turned around “wtf you laughing about “

I recently did the same and drove my e36 home 3 hours away!! talk about nerve racking. Loved the vid bruh keep it up

this is awesome, wish more people did this, manuals are the best!

Did this with the 2016 Scion FR-S. Take your time in traffic, don’t worry about no one but yourself. It will get easy bro, once that happens the fun begins.

nice to see a fellow brother manual enthusiast

Just bought my first manual 2 days ago too. Driven before but never owned one. 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS

Awesome video man did wayyyy better than me when I first started driving manual fs

That's an amazing job for your first time driving a stick. The first car I bought was a 5 speed and I accidently did a huge burnout in the owner's driveway just trying to get out, lol.

Just picked up a '16 WRX as my first manual. It helps to take it out for drives at night when you're practically the only other car on the road. Hills are definitely a bastard to learn, but with practice it gets easier. My shifting has gotten a lot better, but I'm still not consistent with it. Bumper to bumper traffic is a pain if your car needs you to hit the gas when in 1st, which mine does lol. The bite point alone isn't enough to get it moving without me stalling. You did great though, keep it up man. Also, it might be different for your car, but in mine I never let off the clutch all the way when I'm reversing. I use the bite point to control the speed of the car because if I let off all the way, I'm flying backwards lol

You did great dude!

Manual g37 sedans are pretty rare. Hold on to this one for a while. Also not bad at all on your first time driving a manual. Hills are definitely the hardest part. Eventually you’ll be quick enough to only roll back a couple inches.

I never in my life driven a manual car and watch you gave me the anxiety😂

good job brother, my first time was in a 500hp g37, scared isnt a good enough word to describe it lol. You're a natural

Ive done this & had to drive 173 miles back home, once i got it i loved it dearly

I did the same thing with my 2013 dodge dart. Except there were no family members or friends with me because the ones I knew didn’t drive stick. Thankfully the guy who ran the car lot I bought off of was done for the day so he offered to guide me for a few hours. Even after the lessons, I stalled the car 18 times home that day, usually at red lights and stop signs. The clutch smell was terrible. Proceeded to stall 10 times per day for 3 days after before getting better. For 2 weeks the shifts were shakey, but I made improvements. Hill starts were the most nerve racking for me, but I managed. Looking back I regret nothing, and I still enjoy driving it despite the notorious LA traffic.

Did the same thing when I bought a 2000 celica gts. Thank god it was really well maintained

I did this exact same thing with my forester I purchased about 8 months ago. My mom hopped in with me and I got that damn thing home by the end of the day lmao.

I been seeing alot of car videos and im loving it

nah bro this guy a fast learner. Still aint got a driving license yet but im im practicing with my parents and im just tryna learn watching yt until next time

He’s a good teacher... just let off slowly as smoothly when driving casual. Release clutch quickly when racing

I also learned how to drive manual car in my 06 g35s too. You will have so much fun with it.

First car I owned was a 2001 Ford Mustang Manual at age 19 in 2018. Eventually the engine gave out but man it was a joy riding it

Hills were my biggest problem when learning. What your friend was trying to say with the ebrake trick is this. Ebrake on and foot of brake. Give the car a little gas and release the clutch slowly. When you hear the revs drop disengage the ebrake and drive off like you would on level ground, but since youre on a hill just add a little more gas. Thank you to my dad for teaching me this trick it came in handy so dang much. Edit: you did waaaaaaaay better than me when I first learned I stalled 6 time trying to leave MY DRIVEWAY and idk how many more on a hill.

Bro you did great!

Did the same thing! I watched so many videos on KZfaq on how to drive stick and my in laws had a manual car that I tried to learn on once and never really got it down.. then I went and bought a Mazda 6 2014 with a 6 speed and just forced myself to drive it

I got an 02 Camaro z28 as my first car. I didn't know how to drive stick but I learned when I got it home. It's much more engaging than an automatic and prevents you from distracting yourself. In the US its practically an anti-theft device. I recently bought my first automatic car (wasn't offered with a manual) and I miss rowing through the gears and blipping my throttle for a downshift. I imagine as electric cars are becoming more and more popular manual transmissions are going to become unicorns.

you know dude was lowkey mad as hell driving his car like that😂 but aye you killed it for your first time not gonna lie dude, wayyy better than my first time with a clutch

I did the same thing when I bought my first car haha. Literally drove away from the deal stalling the thing lol. Those Infinities are nice af

Watching the hills stert gave me anxiety. Im 27 and learned how to drive manually beginning of this year and only got a few hour of training. My next car will be a manual and im a bit scared. But ive always wanted to learn how to drive and own one.

Been there done that... it was really embarrassing but you gotta learn somehow lol... nice job bro

That was fun to watch😂. Cant wait to learn myself

Yessirrr manual gets addictive bro keep at it

With the hill starts, use the e brake and clutch it makes it so much easier. I’ve only done about 22 hours of driving (I’m 17) and I can confidently say that you will not roll if you use the e brake hill start method

Watching him stall on a hill made me chuckle, because those of us who drive manuals have been there

I learned how to drive manual in May when the seller dropped the car off at my house. It’s a engine and tranny swapped(f23 w/ 5 spd) Honda Torneo and by the end of the day I basically had it. It’s not that fast but I get a rush whenever I drive it. So if you’re unsure about whether or not to buy a manual because you’ve never done it before just remember people used to have to learn manual while learning how to drive :)

I bought my first manual a g37s coupe took me like a week to get it down but I got it you got it gang

"Im telling you, this is how I learned".. lmao I learned that shit in driving school in Germany xD

That’s how you do it man. Get out your comfort zone. That’s how I learned stick I just got one and taught myself lol. It was a long drive home.

Just bought an s197 mustang gt in manual. Learned to drive it over the course of a few days. I'd say I'm doing pretty well. Hill starts are absolutely terrifying but manual is so damn fun

This was me lmfaooo when I purchased a Cts V V1 they all come manual. Shit was crazy I stalled twice but got the hang of it.

I went to a Mazda dealer and bought a 30th AE not knowing manual. The dude followed me home and took my other car back to the dealer and I had a similar experience. It was great!

My first time driving manual was my grandmas car. She asked me to go to the store for her. Luckily I played racing games and understood the concept. Stalled twice and did some burnouts lol. Nothing but manuals since.

I did the same thing for my first manual car. Burned that first clutch out quick but I learned on it

It's nice that u could learn on a newer vehicle that probably shifts like butter. A lot of us learned on ol shit boxes with burned out clutches and grinded up gears. Hope you enjoy your whip, the more you learn the fun of manual I'm sure you will. Rev matching, controlling rev hang, heel toe braking, and of course the fun clutch dumps to spin some tires every now and then.

Lmao I did the same shit got me a manual not knowing how to drive 😂 but I learned pretty quick

I've driven Manual for years and still do. Something to help you a TON is don't use the gas, but slowly slowly let out on the clutch until you feel the vehicle start to grab and move forward. Do this over and over until you find the exact point where you get traction from clutch to drive train, once you get that then use that trick on hills. Your boy wasn't helping too much with saying use gas, practice without gas until you get the feel of it in 1st gear. I wish you luck and enjoy the vehicle.

I did the same thing. It took me 10 minutes to get off the lot, I know the people at the dealership were laughing at me 😂

This was entertaining considering I'm using manual mode on my 7at rn to save gas it's far more efficient 😂 but I love my 2013 g37x too much and all the work I put it saving it from the previous neglectful owner, let alone carvana didn't fix it up like they said ect I don't wanna get rid of it. Been treating me very well for 3 years now unlike the 2014 crapala I owned before it lmao. My only concern about yours is if you got a g37 2012 or lower bc the gallery gasket. I didn't learn about that issue until a while ago and can't believe I dodged a huge expensive bullet buying the 2013 one

I'm in the same situation. I just bought a 2014 Camaro that's a manual. Although it also has some body work that needs completed, I've never done any body repair before. So it will be interesting.

In my toyota i rarely have to use the brakes unless at redlights...love it.

I’m not gonna lie I bought a manual car without knowing how to drive it in my body had to drive it home for me it took about three days and I finally learned once I looked on KZfaq(about 2012) and been driving one ever since ! You’ll love it

I think everybody that learned manual felt that pain that you were feeling trying to launch off that hill. 🤣

That’s how I got my first car, a Silvia lol, Took about a month but it’s so much fun bro

The hill was the best part let’s try tigers hill next😂

Exactly what i did lol edit u did better than me lmao i stalled only once in a parking lot while teaching myself but ur crazy good for just learning

Bro you don't have to use the handbrake on a hill. Just brake with ur right foot, start letting go of clutch until you feel the bite then get your foot off of the brake. You have enough torque to get the car moving without using gas.

Welcome to the Manual Group.

5:52 What he is trying to explain, is when you feel the bite point (when the clutch starts to grab and you are starting to go foward, you let off the ebrake and give it a bit more gas, and release clutch

This is not uncommon practice. I bought my manual Mini and drove it off the lot without really knowing how to drive stick. It doesn't take long to get the hang of it, though. You're doing great!

I drove my G 3 hours home in a stage 3 6 puck clutch never having driven a manual before. Lot of stalling but ultimately worth it now that it’s easy and super fun to drive.

bought my focus st a 3 hours drive away without knowing manual. Everything went smoothly until I got near my home and stalled on a hill at a light when it turned green. I then proceeded to keeep stalling and light turned red then green again then red again. finally on my 3rd green light i revved and dumped it. I was sweating and beeing beeped at nonstop. NO RAGRETS

ayeeee congrats bro, just learned half a year ago and its second nature now

I did that with my s10. My first manual vehicle and I drove it home. It was rough but I made it without issues.

I remember when I first drove stick I was slowly getting the hang of it dad had me go on a hill and hold the clutch to the point where the car is sitting still on a hill and that made me understand everything for whatever reason

This was basically me. I bought a car earlier this year and I didn't have a restriction in my license allowing to drive a car. I had to learn it the hard way haha luckily it didn't cost me my clutch to learn manual.

Bro, same thing. I got a turbo Miata with 0 experience and learning has been wild 😂

This reminds me of the time my friend was teaching me on his own car

yo girl was lookin at yo homie hard asf in the end

Omg, that paint on the new car is sleek af!

This video too funny bro playin too much he da worse instructor 😭😭

Loll this video was super funny and enjoyable

The way they showed me how to do it if I'm on a steep hill and I'm not sure about the biting point of the clutch but have to do it without letting the car roll back goes like this: You pull the handbrake so you can let go of the brake, put it in 1st, and then you press the gas pedal according to the steepness of the hill, if it isnt too steep 1500 rpm should be enough, if it's steep you might need 2000 rpm or even 2200, it depends. Then you start releasing the clutch slowly until you feel the biting point (if you can't feel or hear it you will see the rpms dropping down) that's when you stop releasing the clutch and release the handbrake, the car should start moving. If you accidentally released the clutch too much and the rpms dropped you might need to press the clutch just a bit, not all the way down, to get them to their previous stable state and then release it till the biting point while letting the handbrake down at the same time
