to my fellow learners these are what i learned when i was struggling with my first manual rexy. a year in and i’m fully confident with hills, rev matches and heel toe. before anything try reversing without gas. you’ll get a much better sense of the biting point. and then play around with the gas, keep the rpms below 2.5 to avoid burning your clutch too much. rule of thumb is to not slip for more than 5 seconds. next when people tell you to slwoly release the clutch, it doesn’t mean linearly throughout the clutch play. you can release till the bite point really quickly or slowly it doesn’t matter. what matters is you BRIEFLY pause at the bite point while easing into gas just a little and then letting go of the clutch fully when you feel the car engage. not sure how to explain how the car engagement feels like you’ll just know it over time. but remember it isn’t about releasing slowly, it’s more of releasing a briefly pausing at the bite point before letting go. the harder you’re accelerating the harder you can dump the clutch. when you’re on hills after you’re confident with the biting point, do the same just hold the biting point maybe a second longer with more gas, depending on the slope. but 3ks should be MORE than sufficient. also when releasing your handbrake do it quickly, don’t hesitate be confident it helps a lot. just remember the brief pause at the bite point. rev match downshift is more of muscle memory, everyone has different methods. but generally what i do is clutch gas shift release to the biting point , briefly pause and let go. just do it with the car off you’ll get it sooner or later. there’s no need to bang the clutch and shift with force, gentle shifts will always lead to a smoother ride. also your car ratio is generally all different, but going from 3-2 is probably the biggest jump. so when downshifting you’ll probably need to blip more gas (1.5k of gas instead of 1k) and lastly when in doubt clutch the fuck in. i know how stressful it is, i’ve stalled on the hill in the middle of the city literally 10 times i a row, it was fucking embarrassing. but like anything practice and you’ll get there. don’t be afraid to fuck up your clutch, it’s meant to be used. just don’t hold it at high rpm’s for longer than 3 seconds you should be fine. hope this helps, don’t give up and be a pussy. manual driving is a lost art

Respect for keeping the stall in the video ❤

Just started driving stick 8 months ago on my WRX, Idk why I'm watching this video lol, but love the tips he's giving 😁 🔥💯

A great video brother. My mom taught me how to drive a stick on a VW bug in high-school. I love my 2020 STI and I also owned a 2017 wr. That bite point on the STI is very touchy. Every cars clutch is different. A great platform we have. My daily driver to and from work. 😊 Subies forever ♥️.

subbed sti and manual tutorial what a legend.

I have been learning manual and I’m getting better, but I currently do not rev match when down shifting. I basically downshift, hold the clutch at the bite point to allow the clutch to do the “rev match” which raises the rpms. It is considered normal wear and tear on the clutch but I do want to learn how to rev match manually because it will allow the clutch to last longer. I’m just worried about practicing because the times that I have tried, I didn’t give the car enough gas and the car jerked.

Thanks man! Just got a stick 23 WRX and ive stalled it a few times yesterday and ive had it for two days but im getting the hang of it and this video helped me alot!

I'm saving to buy a manual car myself so I can practice practice and more practice.

I’m thinking of getting a base wrx stick and mod it out but idk stick so my friend will teach me a lil in his 2020 wrx hatch and then im in lol only question is it a lot for a new clutch im preparing 😂

Hey man your car is so nice! How many miles does it have?

When I go from 3rd to 2nd, what rpms should I blip the throttle to?

Why do people keep reaching rev matching for a level 1 video. You also forgot to show how to get the car rolling with the clutch only. Most people barely have the coordination to let of the throttle before clutching in the upshift, telling them to rev match is like gatekeeping before they can understand the fundamentals.

I thought your car was a hypeblue

Is this the new trailer of grand turismo

iv had my sti for almost 2 years now and for me i still cant get first to second while maintaining speed and being smooth
