going to third changing gently releasing and then removing my foot off the clutch very
extraordinarily important so we're coming to a stop sign when it's just about to stall
we push the clutch in we don't go down gears you can but it is not necessary
we had a few questions by people trying to find out what's the best way and how we use the clutch
and uh how do we do the gear selection when we when we're driving a manual car particularly in
the driving assessment because there's not much of tolerance when it comes to making mistakes
to do with vehicle management so here it is so you know basically to change gears your clutch
your clutch must go all the way in okay so you can't put the clutch partially in
your clutch must be fully and then you can easily change gears literally by flicking it through so
there's no need to power you know anything through even reverse which is usually the most you know
difficult one so first gear two you can even do it with a little finger okay second third fourth
fifth and reverse okay after you've taken off you've got to release the clutch completely
even when I'm turning now if I'm in the second gear
i don't need to change down to first with turn there's no point hovering the
foot over the clutch in fact that would be wrong and you would lose points for it okay
there's no need to push the clutch in if you're doing 20 around corners
so same here we're turning the 90-degree corner there's no point pushing the clutch in
we just leave it okay so that's extremely important so say for example if we reach the
40-ish we can go to third gear you can listen to the revs and you can make a judgment by the pitch
of the sound we're going to go a little bit more in detail about that in one of the next videos
so a lot of people press clutch when they're turning corners and that is
firstly not necessary but secondly and more importantly it's wrong so we've got to change gear
prior to getting to the corner now making my turn my clutch is completely off so my foot is
off the clutch when i'm turning corners okay so that's really extraordinarily important to
remember going to third changing gently releasing and then removing my foot off the clutch very
extraordinarily important so we're coming to a stop sign when it's just about to stall we push
the clutch in we don't go down gears you can but it is not necessary we go to first 1000 2000 on
the third count at the stop sign we can take off again removing my foot off the clutch completely
okay second gear removing my foot off the clutch completely now with turning the 90 degree corner
i'm doing about 30 slowing down to about 25 but i don't need to push the clutch because it's still
sufficient amount of movement to sustain the you know the engine running you know
going to third again releasing and removing my foot off the clutch pedal extremely important
not to hover the foot over the clutch or keep it you know sort of partially in at all so you know
we don't need to do it and we shouldn't do it in the test turning the 90 degree corner slowing down
to about 25 no need to push the clutch which is one of the most common mistakes people do once
you pick up to 40-ish when you hear it's about the time to change we clutch to the bottom third gear
release continue we generally don't need to go to fourth gear when we're in the 50s zone which
is where we're driving at the moment because the the transfer of the power from the engine to the
wheels will be too sluggish if you do it in too high gear so if you like these types of videos
please let us know so we can do some more and obviously to make it easier for you when you're
going for a manual driving assessment thank you for watching and we will see you in the next video
