Hey Jumi and NMGOM 2 by wrksnfx at 07/04/11 06:42AM Flag

Back in 1965 when my next to oldest brother was taking drivers training (when they still taught manual trans driving) my brother was coming up a sloped (incline) with a stop sign at the top and when they got to the sign but still on the slope the instructor reached over and shut the car OFF and said to him "Okay now restart the car WITHOUT it rolling back" my brother was like "HOW?" That's when he taught him that clutch/brake trick and this is taught in some trucking driving schools too, I know

Hey Jumi and NMGOM by wrksnfx at 07/04/11 06:39AM Flag

There is a better way to start off from a hill, instead of using your left foot for the clutch alone turn your left foot so that it is almost parallel to the horizon (so that your 2 feet look like a letter L on it's side) so you can use your left foot for the clutch and brake both and feather off both as your giving the car or truck fuel with your right because if you stall on a hill and you rollback into a vehicle behind you you will fail a driving test.

Hand-Brake Help for Uphill Starts by NMGOM at 05/18/11 05:55AM Flag

Hi Jumi, I have been driving "stick" for over 50 years, and have never heard a more concise and clear description for beginners than these 12 videos. Good Job! Here is one added tip that could help some folks to avoid flunking a driver's test: Do not roll backwards AT ALL when starting up a hill. You can assure that this does not happen by coming to a complete stop, applying the hand brake, and then to start, let up on the clutch while giving "gas ", and release handbrake

Driving Lesson Video by indayh at 04/26/11 08:47AM Flag

God Bless Jumi for creating this lesson,very much in detail . I've watch the video more than a few times and I've learn so much from you specially on what to avoid doing while driving a manual transmission,now I am ready. I am eager to learn and can't wait till I get into the road,I hope I can be as good driver as you someday. Thanks so much and God Bless... Nora

Hi Jummi by twinor at 09/18/10 12:55PM Flag

I just love your videos§ Great voice, clarity, and precision. I am a learner, this is why i discovered your videos. To me is driving is very difficult and you make it so easy, i have lessons tomorrow, i am going out there and drive! all because of you.. Thanks very much; Hugs

to understand better in which gear you should shift for what occasion, you should get a litte more technical. power of the car is directly related to engine's RPM (revolutions per minute). so is the life of the engine-if you rev it uncontrolably-it will blow. to ensure your car can move in any condition, without blowing up the motor-you need to shift gears. gears change the relation of wheel's RPM to motor's RPM, keeping the motor in optimal working condition, as long as the car, at the same t

Awesome Teaching by joyos7 at 12/14/09 04:28AM Flag

This really helped me out al ot!

tthankyou by servinghim at 08/15/09 01:17AM Flag

i want to thank you for making this, its helping me to drive a 5 speed after many years of driving an automatic GODBLESS

Thank You by TBudel15 at 06/22/09 12:04AM Flag

Wow these videos helped me so much on how to drive a stick shift. Thank You!

shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd gear, but accidentally I, shift it to 5th gear. What is the correct procedure or what will i do?

by p1n3b0n3 at 02/26/09 10:36PM Flag

after a few months of driveing(dayafterday) automatically you will know when which gear is needed. Like i said the bicycle: you do not handle yourself with keeping the bike middle, you do it automatically.

4. when you see a lot cars in traffic and they will keep speed stady at this range.

lol next by p1n3b0n3 at 02/26/09 10:32PM Flag

and your example was 20-25mph, so when you slowed down to this speed, you can change gear to the followed: 2. 3. 4.(maybe you can change to 1.gear but engine can "prohibit", "ban" i dont know the right word Im hungarian sorry for my english. even you can left in 5. gear but maybe it will to low engine rotate speed and it can shut down). So in this range the best is 2.3.4. 2.-for keeping engine high, for using high power after, 3. is the best balanced in this speed, 4. when you see a lot cars in

Its a lot difference between automatic and manual, for me best is the manual. Automatic is for the old womans:). (all i written is a car with benzine type of fuel. diesel is for trucks, in cars sucks(havier, sluggish, shity noise).

So when accelerating, its good from 1500 to 3500 rpm, so the max torque speed is about in middle of that range. But in all cars you can feel the engine, so it can change your driving style. Also when keeping speed steady, it is necessery to switch to higher gear, because of fuel consumption. so about 40mph you can go in fifth gear, and when you need much power, its recomended to swith back to 4. or 3. even 2. gear(it depend of situation). Its a lot difference between automatic and manual, for me

5. 125mph. But this speeds in each gear is in full engine speed, so its about 6500rpm. In usual driving you use first gear to start the car moveing, 2. gear to accelarate to 23mph, 3. gear to reach 34mph, 4. to 44mph, and after 45mph turning in to the fifth, and go as fast as you want. The engine rotating speed in normal driving(i mean in town, or not in hurry etc.) have to be about the range when the engine can transmit the maximum of torque. Its about 3000 rpm. (Every car has other value) So w

consumption. Returning to your question: can you ride a bicycle? and how you do it? See? i tell you how the transmission works and you find your answer.: The engine is rotating, it has a range of rotating speed. it is usually from 800-6500rpm(rpm- rotate per minute). So the transmission transformes the rotating in to a smaller or higher rotate speed, what is turn to the wheels(turning off/on with clutch). Example is my car: in first gear the speed i can reach: 29mph. 2. 56mph 3. 75mph 4. 100mph

lol2 by p1n3b0n3 at 02/26/09 10:18PM Flag

example.: when you have to overtake a car, in manual you shift back, the engine runs about 3500-4500rpm, and when the moment comes, just push the gas(do not have to max) and the car shoots out like you want it. In automatic, you have to push the pedal to the maximum, and then you must wait about 1-1,5sec to gain power.(complete loss of fuel and sluggish reaction) Automatic transmission is for the people who do not want to feel driving, and for comfortable ride, and have money for more fuel consu

Dear caminocookie, Im from Hungary, and in our country almost everybody drives cars with manual transmission(because of lower fuel consumption), so it is really weird that people has driving-licence without knowing that manual transmission exists. How to drive a manual t.? Just drive it. After a few months you will not asks questions like this. I drived car with automatic transmission, and it is horrible.: you not feel the engine, do not know what exatly will happen if you push the gas-pedal. e

Accelerating by caminocookie21 at 01/07/09 08:03PM Flag

When accelerating in stop and go traffic, how do I know what gear to shift into at any given mph? example: I'm in fifth gear going 40mph traffic slows down and I drop my speed to 20-25mph. What gear should I shift to?
