Jeremy Brix awesome!

Do you have any advice, i have 2002 Vw Polo 1.4 benzin and manual of course. It's sometimes hard to get the car rev correctly using half on brake pedal and gas and the way you use. Also double clutching doesnt seem to work. I Press down clutch first then neutral clutch back up rev clutch down and gear down but it doesnt feel like its sliding smoothly at all and its not only car. I had alfa romeo 156 1.8ts and it work only 40% of times when done. Does these things require something like lighting flywheel to get revs up quickly? Or sporty cars? Throttle response must be good? Even rev matching feels like it doesnt rev like it should no matter how the gas pedal is pressed :O

The important part about teaching someone how to drive a manual is teaching them what is happening when they are doing what they are doing. It really helps if they know how a manual works beforehand. Teaching them works also it just might be overwhelming for some people and it's best to explain one day refresh and teach another

99% of my experience in driver's education was us driving the coach around in a 2005 Honda Accord, while he played on his phone. The other 1% was the first day, when he told us to use a blinker, and explained what the letters on the shifter were for ("D" is for drive and such). It's really not much "education" in driver's education anymore.

@@marttinummi5228 i have the same polo as you. i use the same technique as you aswell, which is double clutching ofc. try this and see if it works: go 2000 rpm in 3rd, let out clutch in neutral and rev up to 3000 rpm and only when u are done revving to 3000 rpm, u should press clutch in to shift to 2nd gear and let clutch out smoothly. the ratio between 2nd and 3rd gear is 25% when going up in gear, and 33% when going down in gear. thats why we go 1000 rpm up before going in 2nd. i think the same ratio is between 3rd-4th aswell but im not 100% sure. remember to try new stuff in deserted places as u concentrate more on car and a lot less on traffic and people

Casey: Race car driver. Has the Batmobile. Daily drives a Viper. Drives in New Balances. Thumbs up.

You remind me of my uncle hahahaha

I would definitely like to watch and learn more driving tips from you. I'm always trying to learn and be the best driver possible.

Just out of interest is there a reason you refer to the technique as Toe-Heel rather than Heel-Toe? Always heard the latter in the past so was wondering if there was a specific reason behind it or if that was just how you've grown up hearing it. Cheers for your videos, keep safe and keep banging gears.

The foot cam illustrated well that why I was never able to pull that off with my cars. My gas pedal was always too low. I always lost braking force by the time I could get my foot far enough over to work the gas.

Got you covered!

Ikr 👍🏽👍🏽

Ya know I've seen quite a few videos on how to to properly drive a car with a manual transmission. Including ones on specific techniques like yours. I can appreciate how you keep it real, because that's how I roll. Every time I watch videos like these I just get that "I know I can do it" feeling. I've been interested in the manual transmission since I was a kid. A very long time ago I got my first racing game Grand Turismo. I remember I was playing it and I kinda bored. So I messed around with the settings and I saw one of transmissions was manual. Curiosity got the better of me and I selected it. I noticed the difference when the car didn't change gears like it normally would. Then I kinda messed around until I figured out what buttons changed the gears up and down, how the engine sounded when it was time to upshfit and downshift, and the timing for those things. After a while I got pretty good. One of my mother's friends drove a manual car and she showed me how it worked since she saw I had a interest in cars. I really got into racing after that and gaming too lol. But the real thing is always best. Driving is like the one thing that I know I was born to do. Throughout my life I've been told I'm gonna be a really good driver based on my knowledge and things I've shown that I'm capable of doing. One day when I get a car with a manual transmission, I'm gonna have a blast. In addition sorry for the long comment man. I just felt that I should share that.

Awesome! Can't wait to hear if you find it like music or dance.

@@CaseyPutsch - More like sex... it makes it so much better harmonising/synchronising better with your "old banger"!!

@@markchip1 no it's more like reading the good ol Bible: with people around sinnin twice as much, you read it twice as fast! Same principle as stick shiftin brother, so keep safe as you race down that straight and narrow path!

@@kilgoretrout321 you're genius 😂😂😂😂

you have fire taste in music based on that playlist lmao

Just did my first heel toe yesterday! That was a very satisfying accomplishment lol

Cade Brown did the same exact thing! Then tried to do it again and messed it up and really locked up the rears lol

those Corvairs are dope, man.

How would you if you got it perfectly right? I've never done a good one, but when I try, I brake a bit too hard sometimes like its initial D.

Mista _Wo oh trust me, the car will let you know if/when you don’t get it right. be careful if you’re “practicing” this (especially) in a fast car. locking up the rear wheels/upsetting the car could put you in a ditch.

Love it!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

THEY ARE YOUR RACING HANDS! (sarcasm)

Sad Beemer Boi Palm to finger tip!

that's the super advanced "hand toe" shifting! LOL

@@cuttingedgeinnovationstati5208 next week is tongue chin down shifting

And what do none dad shoes look like?

@@SW-zu7ve Exactly.

He shoulda trolled the trolls and rocked the velcros 😂

Those are 407s I think. LOL

Hey now! Takiumi wore New Balance!!

Toe heel not for beginner. This is not a necessary skill

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you’re doing well with the car now!

Seeing your comment makes me ponder the thought: will my wife (who also doesn’t know how to drive stick) learn my ‘09 Civic SI when I pass away?

wholesome

legend has it new balances give u extra 20hp

There are lots of new balance shoes in Japan they are very popular. They also still wear air walks. Anything usa is popular in Japan

Same shoes as my teacher from 6th grade

_they're just dad shoes_

and here i was wondering why the clutch pedal felt so rediculously high ... swear it feels like i have nearly 6 inches of travel on the thing and the first inch and a half is completely dead ... definately going to take it by a shop here soon and look into getting that pedal adjusted to ride lower without messing up the clutch so i can more comfortably position my seat/steering wheel instead of compensating for that strange mess of a clutch in my saturn ion

batmayn typical driver position for a watch under the wrist instead of over cuts down glare from the sun

That annoyed me. Lol. As a watch enthusiast.

Wow that makes perfect sense, I like it.

@427 cubes Casey has the best of class, A true dapper fellow.

I find that vans are great driving shoes for me it feels weird to drive with other shoes

Very true but reminds me.... I'm a tall guy with size 13 shoe. It was a bad day when I had to drive my ex-wifes 5 speed Escort to work with my work boots on....i think I could hit every pedal with one foot lol. Was a jerky ride to work

@crummyy me too absolutely brilliant drumming shoes

Yeaa I drive with my Vans or Sperrys. I prefer shoes with less “sole” between my feet and the pedals.

I have 2 silvertops. I don't heel toe , I just run the rpms up to 10k.

@@wannabecarguy and shut the headlights off before overtaking your opponent?

@@racheldolezal738 most likely both. KZfaq just wants you to be a better racing driver.

@@racheldolezal738 I think the right people got recommended his video about every day driving at about the same time. I haven't watched car vids in AGES but it hit me with Casey and his tips just a bit ago as well.

When I learned to drive stick in a very hilly city, my dad didn't tell me about the handbrake method for starting on hills. He told me I had to hill start just as you described. I sucked at it and must've stalled the car on steep hills dozens and dozens of times the first few days driving. When I heard about the easier handbrake method I was pissed he hadn't told me, but now I realize he taught me a great technique from the start, so I appreciate it.

i never was good at that. i drove a 5 speed ranger in San Antonio for a little while. i just engine breaked up to a light and then balanced the throttle and clutch to keep the truck still on a hill and then when it's green just let the clutch out and go.

I personally do this, but both methods work the same tbh

i feel like you cant do this with every car. here in my country, most cars are underpowered..

at the Nascar road race at Watkins Glenn some drivers would tap the brake pedal a couple of times with their left foot at the end of a long straight so the brake pads would be nice and close to the rotor when they went to brake hard with their right foot

Legend!

LOL! Corvette driving shoes... ;)

Appreciate it

how the journey been

Hi learned manual on an focus st with a very worn clutch it was not treated well so i got the great experience of learning a manual the absolute shit experience of borrowing 2 grand to replace the clutch and flywheel (my money went into the downpayment for the car) and im scared as shit to practice toe heeling because i dont want to screw up and replace it again its only been like 2 years yaaaaayyy

@@tyranus1111 Don't be afraid man, just give it a try

LOL, I thought the same thing. This is so much easier than how I thought it was done.

Awesome! I'm not a proponent of barefoot driving honestly.

hey did you ever figure it out

Speed6! Awesome car, like a rare alternate universe WRX/STI. One of my favorite Mazda designs ever, too. Hope it's been good to you so far.

Kerim Temel I usually take off at 3-5k, with those 650 cc motorcycle engines the clutches are really designed to slip quite a lot, plus anything less and you would stall especially on Hills

Depends on the car too. My 97 prelude I have to start at 1.5k rpm to get it going on flat ground, so don't just take a number you hear on the internet and apply it to your car cus they're very different

My mr2 will bog down less anything less than 2.2k from still flat. Look at the rpms and feel it out every car is different

Kerim Temel I have a Mazda 6 with the same motor and 2 years in I’m still trying to wrap my head around that lol. Sometimes on a quiet morning I’ll accidentally take off light and yeah clutch stutters like hell I hate it! These 2.5 manuals in these Mazda are seriously designed to be driven! The gears are LONGGG and the car loves shifting between 3-4k. It’s been so weird getting used to it because it goes against everything I was taught when I got into manual driving lol. Great cars though and can be fun! They love being driven!

neat

You should definitely find the opportunity to, they’re getting rarer and rarer.

It's never too late to learn. Hey, I'm 35, and I only learned to drive a manual in the last couple of months. It's way easier teach yourself to drive stick if you have many years of experience driving automatics. There's just a couple extra steps thrown in, but everything else is the same. I made an attempt to learn to drive a manual in my early 20's, but gave up since I found it too difficult. I would have never dreamed that years later, I would be able to do it. So, even if you don't have the opportunity to learn now, who knows, maybe way off in the future you will.

@@hamsterama I'm only 21 and a Uni student so my 5 figures recently dropped to 4 haha. I hope my buddy will let me drive around his new E30 once he swaps engine.

If you hsve family woth one. Call them up and ask for a lesson. Thats what i did woth my Uncle's golf. "Yo, can i learn stick in your car? Can you teach me?" BOOM best decision i ever made

​@@blitzy3244 Hey man, I only bought my first car when I was 24, after I graduated from college and got my first real job. Before that, I was too poor to own any car LOL! But trust me, once you graduate and start a career, you'll suddenly have plenty $$$$. And then you can buy your own manual car to learn on. Hang in there, and make sure to put as much $$$$ as possible into savings now.

Roby pugliese yea that would be an awesome video to make👍🏽👍🏽

Don't think that I think you're an idiot or anything but, make sure you've changed the wheel position with the little lever under the wheel. For me the mx5 was the perfect length away. If you did that already get an aftermarket wheel hub/spacer. They are relatively cheap easy to install and just extend the wheel out that few extra inches. Also specifically for racing driving you should aim to be able to push all the pedals all the way down with you're leg still bent, and all the way up so that when you're at the top of the clutch/accelerator your thigh is level/at the angle of your seat. for wheel position hold your hands at 12 and make sure there's still a good bit of bend in the arm.

@@Pheatan I did that, the issue started when I swapped in the nbfl seats, it just doesn't feel right! I just bought a nardi wheel, I'll see if that helps but even in the best spot my legs aren't the way you're describing them

I deliver man!

Stock gen II viper should be about 450hrsprs IIRC.

Andrew Malkin love the auto blipper in my gt4.

The auto rev match feature works incredibly well in my new Corolla. I'm a woman, and I don't have the big manly feet required to heel-toe.

I know it's been 2 years since you asked, but you should not just put it into neutral and brake to a standstill. Keep shifting down all the gears, that way, you won't be as hard on your brakes as the engine braking helps to slow the car down and you maintain maximum control. For example, you roll up to a red light but are in neutral. The light goes green and you quickly need to find the right gear to get going again. Hope this helps :)

@@timschwarze1739or release gas pedal nearing a stop/traffic light, double clutching and rev match to lower gear, example from 6th to 3rd and then slowly brake with engine braking then hit neutral when you few feet away from stopping.
