SEO effect of changing Youtube video title

Hey guys, I have a video that I uploaded in 07 and it's currently showing up on Google for the phrase "how to drive a stick shift" and am currently getting about 1000 views a day but am trying to bring that up. According to the google keyword tool "how to drive manual" is over 10 times more popular than the other.

I'd like to change the video name but I'm worried I'll lose the SEO standing that it currently has. Does anyone know how it works when you change a Youtube Title? Will it lose the video age and previous SEO juiceage?


any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Is doing a different unique video with the title you want, and linking the first to the second to give it some juice, a possibility? That way maybe you can capture both.

    This is just an educated guess, but I suspect you will not get as high of a ranking with 'how to drive manual' as you do with the current one if you just change the name, and will likely just lose your current spot and traffic.
