👋In todays video, lets go over some techniques you should avoid while driving a manual transmission vehicle! We also have several videos on how to drive a manual if you need more in-depth tutorials for help!
First on the list is to always use the clutch pedal while changing gears. Improperly shifting when the engine and transmission speeds aren't matched can cause series harm and premature wear for your vehicle. A grinding noise could be heard or lockouts of a gear completely. A technique called "float shifting" could be used, but that's not applicable for every vehicle or every driver!
Don't rock back and forth at a light! This can cause the clutch to slip and it's just not safe with traffic behind you.
Don't sit at a light with the vehicle in gear for minutes on end. No need to leave the clutch spring expanded for no reason and give your left leg a rest!
Don't rest your hand on the shifter or your foot on the clutch pedal. The shifter is connected to the transmission and the pressure resting on the shifter pushes against the gearing and it the clutch pedal slightly pressed can cause the clutch to slip. You have an arm rest or the steering wheel for your hand placement and a dead pedal for your foot!
Don't dump the clutch or release abruptly. Practice rev matching or controls releasing of the clutch while coming to a stop. You saw what can happen in this video :)
Don't leave your car in neutral to park. This was cause no harm to leave the car in gear and it's a great fail safe if the parking brake were to come loose.
Don't floor the car at low speeds while in a high gear! This can cause harm to the engine and oil pressure and in turbo engines, cause pre-ignition and damage to spark plugs.
Don't coast in neutral, you need to be ready for any scenario that may appear and by staying in neutral, you have no power or control of the vehicle.
Hopefully these tips helped and you can enjoy driving your manual, and prolong the life of the clutch, shifter and the engine!
