When you are waiting at a set of lights, don't leave your car in gear with the clutch pressed in, take it out of gear and use the E brake as mentioned on the hill starts. The reason being is that when you hold your clutch depressed for too long you will start to wear down the throwout bearing and when that thing goes you will find it hard shifting gears and might need a new clutch.

Great video with some good advice here for people with less experience. :-) High gears and low revs with lots of throttle is called 'Labouring an engine'. Think of it like a push bike with 27 gears. Being in 1st gear is easy peasy and it doesn't take much pressure to turn the crank, no matter how fast or strong you peddle. Whereas 27th gear and forcing the gears and chain with all your leg power will put more strain on the mechanical components. The lower the gear means a lot less torque through the system. Exactly the same as our dear cars :-) Thanks again for vid !

There are a few issues with what's said here. One is to do with lugging in-general, in that it doesn't just involve throttle. Some engines, especially rotaries, really hate to be short-shifted, and running in too high a gear can seriously damage them. Even if you aren't accelerating noticeably, what's important are your car's shift points for whatever you're doing, and most cars have several for different circumstances. Secondly, hills. Now, riding the clutch should be avoided whenever possible, but sometimes it is necessary to do certain tasks, such as parking on a hill or maneuvering at extremely low speeds. And, when initiating a hill-start, there are a wealth of techniques to use. The handbrake technique you mentioned is the easiest and most common, but some drivers will insist on a foot-brake technique, where you use your right foot to brake and feather the throttle simultaneously. It's difficult, and I don't find it particularly effective, but some people swear by it. Thirdly, if your engine has enough torque and a good bottom-end and the incline is shallow enough, you may be able to just muscle it by quickly throttling up and releasing the clutch before you begin to roll back. Overall, these are good tips for novices, and while I did learn a slight bit, I'm not the best myself. It does seem quite thrift of advice for more advanced levels, but I suppose this is more of an entry-level topic anyway.

For rule #2 . Not everyone has a working e brake, me included when I was learning. I think the best this to do is just to use the standard break as long as it is not a very steep hill or long time. Then just practice the hell out of your 1st gear on hills. Plus as a new manual driver it may be hard to remember to disengage your e brake and then foot on the break then clutch and 1st gear all in one motion.

In this video, a few good habits to get into, and a lot of hearsay and opinions that aren't based on facts. "The engine builds up oil pressure too fast when you bog it" you do realize that the oil pump runs on RPM right? And at low RPM it has low pressure right? It's precisely because of the fact that OIL and WATER pumps run off engine RPM that bogging down your engine can cause OVERHEATING. If the engine is working hard, and the coolant and oil flows aren't fast because the rpm's are low, and most especially if the actual speed of the car isn't fast, like towing something, or struggling up a long mountain road, then you can overheat the car if you select too tall a gear. Car not overheating? Then you aren't damaging anything even if you're bogging, but you're a 5 speed noob. This video is the standard transmission version of those "You're brushing your teeth wrong" videos where someone repeats things they have been told without thinking about them or trying to understand the thing they are talking about.

How about "Changing to neutral on downhill to save fuel"? Doing this will actually consume more fuel, because having it on neutral means that the engine needs to burn fuel to keep it running, but with engine braking, (having gear in and not touching the gas if you dont know anything) absolutely no fuel is pumped into the engine, as the transmission keeps the engine running.

Jj George thats stupid as hell. Im from Europe and I drive manuals only. Doing it like you suggest, puts much more stress on the clutch and it wears it out faster. It might seem like you are badass for doing it or that you are some expert on cars, but in reality its hurting the clutch in the long run. While driving off up a hill using the handbrake, is less damaging for the clutch because the rear brakes actually take a lot of the load and weigth, since otherwise if you drive off whith high revs and clutch out, the clutch will also have to handle more counter force that pulls the car backwards down the hill. It has to overcome that force before it can start to move forward.

Your concern with "early shifting" I feel is more relevant on an engine that doesn't have allot of torque. I do agree in general but the car I got recently (8th gen accord coupe 3.5 EX-L) has enough torque to easily shift at 2500 rpm and does really well. Now if I was stuck in a 4 banger I wouldn't even think of doing this.

I used to have a neighbor who couldn't figure out why ever like 10k miles, his clutch was burnt. His first problem is he revs it way to high taking off from a stop. The one day I heard him pulling out of a spot, I actually was going to out and check on him, because he was revving the car so high, I thought there was something wrong with the car, or him. But aside from that, one day I get in and go for a ride with him. I notice he was driving with his foot on the clutch pedal. So I'm like "what are you doing, that is why you burn thru clutches." He replies "no its fine, I'm not actually pushing on the pedal, I just have my foot resting on it." So I explain to him, even though it may feel like he isn't actually putting pressure on the pedal, he is a very little bit, and that very little bit is causing the clutch to be just slightly disengage from the engine. That very little bit, is enough to cause slippage between the disc, and the flywheel, generating heat, and destroying the clutch. So he replies "well I'm to old, and have some kind of nerve damage, so I can not move my foot fast enough from the floor, to the pedal, then shift. It takes to long, and I lost to much speed." So I reply "then don't drive a manual car." He sold it, bought a automatic, and lived happily ever after :)> Also using the hand brake on hills is for noobs :)>

So I see everyone always mentioning "don't rest your hand in the gear stick" and "don't slam gears." I 100% agree as a mechanic. That rotating collar is typically made of brass or another soft metal and you will destroy your syncros (my Mazda was a second hand car and oh yea, the 2nd gear synchro was gone, likely the last owner slam shifted into second). All makes sense. It's expensive work to do when these components fail. But lemme ask this. What about weighted shift knobs? I'm talking like the raceseng knob that weighs like 1.6 lbs. That's a lot of weight that bears down over the shift knob. And when you're shifting, not even slamming, its a lot of momentum transferring over. So, will a weighted shift knob cost you a lot of money in the long run bearing down the brass collar and synchros?

Some of these are hard to really reach in practice. For example, my Ford Ranger has the same engine and transmission it came out of the factory with 21 years ago. It has went through 290,000 miles and 21 years of holding hills with the clutch and shifting off engine noise and speed(it has no tachometer). It still runs and shifts fine. My friend has one from 29 years ago with the stock and never rebuilt trans and engine. My dad has one the same age as mine with 330,000 miles on it and he does the same stuff. It's all about care and not banging on them, that's the secret to long lasting vehicles.

There is a big difference between diesels and petrols. I have a petrol turbo, and I go upto 2100 rpm if it's cold, until the oil is warm, and then I shift at 2300-2800 rpm on normal roads. On highways, I can go where ever I want upto 7000 (limiter), as long as it is warm. But 95% of the time, I keep it between 2500 and 4000. Diesels like 1800-2500 shifts.

ok the "dont rest your foot on the clutch" I learned the semi-hard way First big boy car (G6 GTP) I would hold the clutch down at stop lights like a fucking noob. So now, my throwout bearing makes really annoying rattly/rumbly noises when the clutch isn't pressed, but my clutch is still in perfect condition. Inevitably, I'm going to have to replace the still-good-condition clutch because i fucked my throwout bearing before i learned not to hold the clutch at stops.

like he said, you wreck the throwout bearing, that's the bearing that the clutch fork presses against the clutch diaphragm, if you hold down the clutch at a stop, you are putting maximum pressure on that bearing the whole time you are stopped, if you release the clutch in neutral you are putting no pressure on that bearing, which was only designed to be used while shifting

@glennk9985

2,500 RPMs is considered an early shift? The optimal shift points in a manual are the same as an automatic. If you are shifting at 3,000 RPM in a car that red-lines at 6k, you are burning excessive fuel and putting more stress and wear on your engine. If you find you have to goose the throttle, you can always downshift. And that brings me to my next point. You omitted the one thing that will cause more damage to your clutch than just about anything. Never downshift without rev matching. This will burn your synchros quickly as you release the clutch and the engine speed significantly mismatches wheel speed.

@glennk9985

Yes they will have different gear ratios but they will also have different final drive ratios and when you factor the two together, your ideal shift points are the same assuming you have the same number of gears. If you have an 8 speed automatic vs a 7 speed manual, yes the shift speeds will be different but the RPMs will be pretty consistent. Check your owner's manual and it will tell you ideal shift points. I can promise it won't be 3k. If someone wants to stress their engine (especially when cold) and burn excessive fuel, that is there choice.

Resting your foot on the clutch is not entirely bad. If the clutch is completely pressed in (to where it can’t go any further), or not engaged at all but still have your foot resting on the clutch, no wear occurs. Wear only happens when clutch is anywhere near or at the bitting point.

Also don’t slam the gearshift into a gear. There should be a deliberate pause in neutral to allow the synchros to do their job with minimal wear. When I first started driving manual I thought I had to shift as fast as possible but for one thing it wasn’t smooth and my 5th gear synchros are pretty worn out. Now I have that pause in neutral and my upshifts are so much smoother. I double clutch rev match my downshifts about 75% of the time, but when I don’t I am very gentle when pushing the shifter into the lower gear. Ohh, and don’t skip gears when upshifting unless you are really good at double clutch upshifting and know your car very well unless you want worn synchros. I used to skip 4th and go from 3rd to 5th and combined with my old habit of shifting fast, my 5 th gear is so worn out it won’t even go into 5th unless I double clutch perfectly.

the other reason for not resting your hand on the gear stick is that its not on the wheel, so you are not in proper control of the vehicle. It may not be a big deal now with power-steering , but if you have a blow-out or need to take emergency avoidance manoeuvre you are compromised.
