How to Drive a Manual Car for Beginners Step by Step - Lesson #2 - Manual transmission smart
The second skill for learning to drive a manual car is combining clutch with throttle/brake. Learn how here - watch the video. SUBSCRIBE TODAY! ► ****** See Topics Below. This video is for absolute beginners. The two hardest gears to learn in a manual car are first and reverse. Introduction 0:03 Prologue 2:07 Clutch & Throttle - Forward 4:01 Clutch & Throttle - Reverse 5:53 Clutch & Brake Forward 7:14 Clutch & Brake Reverse 8:50 Conclusion 9:13 Question: Do you have exercises for students to learning to combine the clutch with throttle/brake? 12:59 Blooper 14:04 This is the second lesson, and you will learn to combine the clutch with the throttle and brake. However, without clutch control, you are going to have difficulty driving a manual car. So if you haven't look at lesson #1, be sure to view this video: ****** EXERCISE #1 - hold the brake with your right foot and bring the clutch out to the friction point with your left. When you're at the friction point, the tachometer will drop 1-200 rpm and you will feel the vehicle vibrate a bit. When you have the clutch at the friction point, the vehicle can now be held by the clutch. Hold the clutch at the friction point and move your right foot from the brake to the throttle. In a gas or petrol engine car, rev the motor up to 1,000-1,200rpm and control the clutch through the friction zone. Move your left foot off the clutch smoothly and as quickly as possible. Take your foot off the clutch to prevent premature wear. EXERCISE #2 – after developing competency with the first exercise, move reverse gear and do the same exercise. Hold the brake with your right foot and bring the clutch out to the friction point with your left. When you're at the friction point, you will feel the vehicle vibrate a bit. You can't look at the tachometer, because you should be looking out the rear window of the vehicle That is why it is important to become competent with exercise #1. Exercise #3 - when you are competent with the first two exercises, move to working the clutch and the brake. In this exercise it is the same as the above: hold the brake with your right foot and bring the clutch out to the friction point with your left. When you're at the friction point, the tachometer will drop 1-200 rpm and you will feel the vehicle vibrate a bit. When you have the clutch at the friction point, the vehicle can now be held by the clutch. Hold the clutch at the friction point and move your right foot from the brake to the throttle. In a gas or petrol engine car, rev the motor up to 1,000-1,200rpm and control the clutch through the friction zone. Move your left foot off the clutch smoothly and as quickly as possible. Take your foot off the clutch to prevent premature wear. Now you're going to throttle up to 2,000-3,000 rpm and then move right foot from the throttle and brake down to 1,000rpm. When the tachometer goes to 1,000 rpm push the clutch in and bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Exercise #4 - when you are competent with the first three exercises, move to working the clutch and the brake in reverse. In this exercise it is the same as the above: hold the brake with your right foot and bring the clutch out to the friction point with your left. When you're at the friction point, you will feel the vehicle vibrate a bit. You won't be able to look out the tachometer, because you must be looking out the rear window. When you have the clutch at the friction point, the vehicle can now be held by the clutch. Hold the clutch at the friction point and move your right foot from the brake to the throttle. In a gas or petrol engine car, rev the motor up to 1,000-1,200rpm and control the clutch through the friction zone. Move your left foot off the clutch smoothly and as quickly as possible. Take your foot off the clutch to prevent premature wear. Now you're going to throttle up to 2,000-3,000 rpm and then move move right foot from the throttle and brake down to 1,000rpm. When the tachometer goes to 1,000 rpm push the clutch in and bring the vehicle to a complete stop. When you have the clutch at the friction point, the vehicle can now be held by the clutch. Hold the clutch at the friction point and move your right foot from the brake to the throttle. In a gas or petrol engine car, rev the motor up to 1,000-1,200rpm and control the clutch through the friction zone. Move your left foot off the clutch smoothly and as quickly as possible. Take your foot off the clutch to prevent premature wear. Good luck on your road test. ********************************** www.smartdrivetest.com www.facebook.com/smartdrivetest www.twitter.com/smartdrivetest www.instagram.com/smartdrivetest/

Hi there smart drivers, Rick with Smart Drive Test talking to you today about
how to drive a manual car.This is the
second lesson and if you haven't looked at
the first lesson already, I'll put a card up
here and for you in the corner. Have a
look at that first lesson. There we covered
clutch control. We went over the shift
pattern of the transmission ,and how the
transmission shifted. I talked about the
shifter resting between the middle gears,
regardless of what kind of transmission
it is. The shift pattern is the same
whether you sit on the left or right
side of the vehicle. We showed you an
exercise to locate the friction zone. That's the point
where the engine begins to engage with
the drivetrain and the vehicle begins to
move forward. We put the parking brake on
and brought the clutch out to that friction
point. To locate the friction point we watched the tachometer drop and then
pushed the clutch back in. And you did that
about 30 times. The next exercise was to
actually move the vehicle forward.
We released the parking brake, applied the foot
brake with your right foot and then
brought the clutch out to the friction point and then released
the brake. While you're holding the
vehicle with the clutch and then getting
the vehicle to move forward and we were
just isolating the clutch. So it was
teaching you clutch control and how to
control the clutch through that friction
zone or what it's called the biting
point. This point on the clutch pedal is where the two plates come together
and the engine engages with the drive
drain and the vehicle moves forward. So
that was the first lesson - have a look at
that if you haven't done that already. So
today, what we're going to do is show you
how to combine the clutch with the
throttle and the brake. And that today's
lesson. And then probably, on the next
lesson we're going to get out and drive
around on the road and show you how to
shift gears. And again, I'll emphasize,
when you're learning how to drive a
manual car, first and reverse are your
toughest gears. So if you work with first
and reverse here in the parking lot, when
you get to the other gears the gears
that actually take you forward and give
you increased speed, it's going to be a
little bit easier. So today, clutch, brake
clutch and throttle. Stick around, we'll
be right back with that information.
[INTRODUCTION & MUSIC]
Hi there smart drivers, welcome back. Rick
with smart drive test talking to you
today about how to drive a manual car
lesson two first lesson we showed you
clutch control and in this lesson we're
going to show you how to combine the
clutch with the throttle and the clutch
with the break and we're going to do it
in forward gear first and i would
recommend that you do that about 20 or
30 times before you start working on
reverse because reverse because you're
supposed to be looking at the pack
window hopefully you're not going to be
able to look at the tachometer so if you
do it in a forward motion first for most
of the times that you're going to be
bringing the clutch out and then pushing
the throttle in you can look at the
clutch and get a feel for how much revs
you have to bring it up so you're not
over revving it because when you over
read it you're just you're not looking
cool right you want to control the
throttle and there's another video here
on the channel how to control the
throttle and you can control the
throttle bring the clutch out and then
have a nice smooth takeoff with thrush
clutch and the throttle combined and
move the vehicle forward and then you
want to bring the tachometer in a gas
engine or a petrol and you're down to
about a thousand rpm and then you push
the clutch in and bring the vehicle to a
complete stop you can have the clutch
out and in gear and moving forward and
braking and slowing the vehicle you
don't actually have to push push the
clutch in until it gets down to about a
thousand rpm if you're driving a diesel
engine you probably bring it down to
seven or eight hundred rpm depending on
which vehicle you're driving it will
have a bit of a different feel to it but
in a diesel engine you should be able to
bring it down to about six or seven
hundred rpm before you actually have to
push a clutch in so that's what we're
going to do today combine the clutch
with the throttle combine the clutch
with the break and we're going to do
that in the first and reverse gear and
then the next lesson we'll probably get
out on the road and as I just
re-emphasize first and reverse are your
toughest gears so if you can get those
gears down the rest of it's fairly
straightforward so let's fire up the
cameras here and let's get going the two
hands on the steering wheel moving
forward and what we do is we hold the
brake and we bring the clutch out and
again we wait till the tachometer starts
to set down below a thousand rpm I can
feel the vehicle start to move forward I
can feel it vibrating a little bit and
hold the brake take my foot off the
brake a little bit of throttle bring it
up to about a thousand maybe a little
bit more and then nice and easy control
the clutch put all the way off the
clutch push the clutch in and apply the
brake same thing hold the brake out to
the friction point you can feel it start
to settle down the vehicle probably
vibrate a little bit hold it with the
board holds it with the clutch off the
brake a little bit of throttle and nice
and easy out through the friction point
off throttle push the clutch in break
out to the friction point I can feel it
settle down you can see the tachometer
go down off the brake on a little bit of
throttle and out the rest of the way on
the clutch all the way off the clutch
off the trial push the clutch in and
break
to the friction point off the brake a
little bit of throttle nice and easy out
on the collection all the way off the
clutch and one more time so off the
throttle clutch in break off hold the
brake out on the clutch to the friction
point you can feel it go the tachometer
go down you can feel the vehicle begin
to vibrate off the brake a little bit of
throttle all right the way out on the
clutch and all the way off the clutch
once you do that 20 or 30 times and
you're very comfortable with that then
go to reverse so we're going to put it
in the reverse gear and on most vehicles
you'll know you're in the first year
because is it clumps a little bit when
it goes into reverse so that will tell
you that you're in fact in Reverse so
we're going to look behind us same thing
hold the brake out to the friction point
I can feel it begin to settle down in
the car vibrates a little bit off a
little bit of throttle control the
clutch and out completely off the clutch
and throttle off the throttle brake a
little bit push the clutch in come to a
complete stop same thing hold the brake
out on the clutch can feel it vibrate
and settle down a little bit of throttle
all the way off the clutch
but gin break and we're uphill this time
so it needs more control more exact
technique break right there I can feel
it settled down and throttle and all the
way off the clutch now you can see that
this vehicle vibrates a little bit when
it comes through the clutch and the
reason that is it's an old vehicle the
questions been replaced I'm not exactly
sure that the clutch was replaced
correctly but and I've also noticed in
this model of Honda they all do that
they're really tough in Reverse so if
you can get your foot off the clutch as
quickly as possible and then work the
throttle going to be better for you the
last thing we're going to do in this
lesson is we're going to move forward
and we're going to throttle up so that
we can use the brake and not push the
clutch and I'll show you how to do that
so break out to the friction point here
settle down off and we begin to move
forward and we throttle right up and
then we can break until the tachometer
comes down to a thousand then push it in
so hold the brake out to the friction
point off the brake on the throttle
complete the rest the way out break down
to a thousand push the clutch in out to
the friction point off the brake
complete out the rest of the way we're
going to go around in a circle do they
need to get going the other way here
again so we ran out of parking lot and
we throttle up
and we break until the tachometer comes
to a thousand push the clutching come to
a stop I would on the clutch to the
friction point hold the brake off the
brake a little bit of throttle and we
move forward break down to a thousand in
with the clutch and stop to the friction
point off the brake a little bit of
throttle and out the rest of the way on
the clutch nice and easy through that
friction zone ok and it'd be the same
thing when you're in reverse and except
it's going to be a little bit more
difficult in reverse because you're not
going to be able to see the tachometer
because hopefully you're observing and
looking out the back window so hold the
brake out to the friction point a little
bit of throttle all the way off the
clutch nice easy
the awesome throttle on the brake and
right there push the clutch in and
that's how you do it to combine the
clutch and the brake quick review of
driving a manual vehicle lesson number
two now we combine the clutch and the
throttle and the clutch and the brake
and the reason that we hold the brake
until we come out to the friction point
is because the clutch will hold the
vehicle while you take your foot off the
brake and go to the throttle and the
reason that you want to do that is
because when we start doing hill starts
in the third or fourth lesson here
you're not going to roll backwards if
you're driving a manual vehicle you're
going to be required to not roll
backwards on a road test if you roll
backwards in a manual vehicle on a road
test it's an automatic fail so that's
how you prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards hold the brake clutch out to
the friction point at the friction point
then take your foot from the brake to
the to the throttle and you give it a
bit of throttle thousand rpm 1200 RPM in
a gas or petrol engine and then control
the clutch out through that friction
zone that area where the engine reengage
us with the drivetrain and the vehicle
moves forward and you're going to do
that about 20 or 30 times for your
exercise until you're really comfortable
with it you get a good sense of the
vehicle make sure that when you're
operating the vehicle to when you bring
the clutch up to the friction point and
you're holding the vehicle the vehicle
is going to vibrate a little bit because
it wants to go forward and listen to it
to the engine and listen to what the
vehicle is doing because you need that
when you start doing reverse because
when you're doing reverse hopefully
you're looking out the back window and
not looking at the tachometer because
the tachometer is a visual aid and will
go down and again I stress first and
reverse to your toughest gears and as
we'll see in the next lesson here once
you get to second third and fourth easy
peasy especially if you spent the time
in the parking lot doing the two
exercises three or four exercises rather
that I showed you in lesson 1 and lesson
2 if you've got clutch control down
throttle control the rest is all easy so
we combined the clutch with the trial
and again
n the vehicle will not stall if you're
holding it at that friction point the
electronic fuel injection will bring the
engine up a little bit it'll increase
the torque in the engine and the engine
won't stall that's why we now do it the
way we do it is to hold the brake bring
the clutch over to that friction point
the vehicle won't stall especially if
you're controlling that clutch and
that's really what it's about and again
just reiterate from what I said in the
first lesson the reason that it's so
difficult to learn clutch control is
because you got a big leg muscle that's
designed for running jumping and kicking
rule and you're using both big motors
are those big leg muscles rather for
fine motor control fingers are designed
for fine motor control not your big leg
so you're teaching your leg fine motor
control and that's probably why some of
you have some difficulty with clutch
control because you're doing things with
the body that you know take some time
for the body to learn because you're
teaching it kinesthetic memory which is
essentially muscle memory right so
that's the second lesson in driving a
manual vehicle do forward first reverse
do that as well and then throttle up and
then break bring the tachometer down to
a thousand rpm and when you get to a
thousand rpm that's when you have to
push the question you don't have to push
the question right away bring the
tachometer down to a thousand RPM with
the break and then push the clutch in
and come to a complete stop and that's
how you combine the clutch and the brake
and in the next lesson we're actually
going to go out on the road and we're
going to shift the vehicle and show you
how to move between the other gears
we'll start off in the parking lot but
then we're going to go out on the
roadway and show you how to begin to
shift the gears and it's going to be
very exciting because that's the lesson
where you actually start to drive a
manual vehicle and have fun with it
question for my smart drivers do you
have any exercises for new drivers
learning how to combine the clutch with
the throttle and the clutch with the
brake leave a comment down in the
