The trick to driving a manual is just figuring out where the bite point is in your car, and what the clutch is actually doing inside of the engine when you find it. Everything begins to become intuitive after that. When i bought my first car it was a standard, and i was shitting my pants the first time i took it on road because i had this mindset that finding the bite point was like, an achivement or something. As soon as i took it to an empty parking lot at night and just practiced finding the bite point a million times. all of the anieties vanished... truly an awesome feeling, because then you realize that you get to drive stick!!

Great video because of the real-world scenarios, the majority of the videos on YT simply deal with "hill start" and that's all. I'm a bit fixated with the handbrake as it always works, but will now try to balance the gas/clutch a bit more. Thanks!

I have seen many driving lessons videos on KZfaq before but you are the first one who teaches "allowing the hill to slow down the car" without trying to use the break much. That is a very handy tactic and though I have been driving for a few months already, I can imagine how using this method will make my driving a lot more smooth. Thank you so much for sharing.

Luckily this video came out the day I passed my test. I do remember how sunny it was the coming days before my test and I ended up wearing my sunglasses so it'd be easier for me to see anything coming up on junctions. Since I bought my car about a month and a half ago and started driving on my own last week, the biggest worry at the moment has been the rush hour and my clutch control hasn't been the best so I've been watching a few videos about it to prepare me better. I personally didn't encounter much rush hour on my lessons so it's still fairly new to me and I'm glad to have seen your videos about it as it will hopefully make me a bit less anxious when traffic's busy because everyone else finishes school and work :)

I really enjoy watching your videos. For uphill, I use my handbrake and shift the gear to neutral while stopping at any signal. After signal turns green, I hold down my brake, release hand brake, press down clutch, shift gear to first, slowly release the clutch to half clutch (still holding down the brake) and release the brake. Accelerate slowly if necessary, and then move forward.

Great tips! This video came in handy last week as I got stuck behind a tractor that was only going about 0-3 MPH and he kept stopping. Not fun, especially when going up hills. I was worried that I was going to overheat my clutch by repeatedly doing handbrake starts and holding it at the bite point for so long going up hill since I was never able to fully release it at such low speeds for about 20 minutes straight but there was nothing else I could have done. I never smelled the clutch burning so hopefully I didn't fry it too bad lol.

@ConquerDriving 2 жыл бұрын

In those situations I let the traffic move a bit so I have more distance to go. That way I spend more time stopped and more time with the clutch fully up keeping it cool.
