For some, it is half-jokingly referred to as the millennial anti-theft device. For others, the manual transmission’s gradual fade into obsolescence is viewed with rather less humour and more sadness, as the three-pedal, H-gate do-it-yourself configuration is widely considered to be among the defining elements of a driving enthusiast’s car.
Most Malaysians will have learnt to drive in a manual transmission-equipped car, with some recent exceptions. These, then, should be at least somewhat familiar with manual gearbox operation, though this as a choice for daily use is by far the exception rather than the norm. Locally, the brightest star from the Honda product line-up in this regard is the FK8 Civic Type R.
In the interests of preserving this skill, Honda in North America has released this video for a concise explanation on the basics of driving with a manual transmission. For all but the youngest of our readers, this may be a bit of preaching to the choir, but if you’re about to take that first step into hands-on motoring, do have a gander.

Wow! We’re at a new age… Now even need a tutorial video to teach you how to drive a car with manual transmission.
Seriuosly? Lols.
Mostly Americans, Australians & Malaysians need to see this video. I sold my car 3 years back & the of chap from use car dealer had a hard time driving it back because he forgot how to control the clutch & change gears..ha…ha….
Honda Civic Type R , only for true men , not for youngster
Actually quite a good video, more informative than our driving schools. There are plenty that drives manual cars very well and yet don’t know why pressing the clutch is necessary, and don’t even question it. They just do what they’re told, and it just works. Driving schools rarely teach the “why”, and focus mostly on the “how”.
Save the manuals!!!
May be to teach us what Manual transmission can do but no way work in Auto transmission will be more meaningful?? When audiences start to appreciate Manual transmission, then you can teach us how to shift gear faster than a DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).
