However, I stated that driving a vehicle away is easier than pushing(driving an auto vs. pushing a manual.) Either way, an auto can be put into neutral as well.

What I'll emphasize on is driving position. Finding the comfortable driving position that lets you heal toe is VERY important. I have friends that say they cant do it or its too awkward only to realize they're sitting way to far back or their seat is practically laying down. If you look at Evan's seating position, his wrist should touch the steering wheel perfectly and the center of the steering wheel is right at his chest. Also you should have a bend on your knees when you fully depress the clutch.

It was a manual so I had to learn finally. I've become a good driver with it over these few years but every once in a while I would experience "rev matching" and be like woah that worked really well! or "non-rev matching" followed by the unpleasant jerking and be like wth was that?!? Thanks to you I now know what's going on and can work towards becoming an even better manual driver. I know a lot of people are giving you grief on here but you have helped me and I thank you.

Dude, you are awesome. I have been practicing heel-and-toe roughly since last May in my Civic (RHD btw). It was such a bitter-sweet experience. At first the car jolted to a point where I felt sea sick and sorry for the car. Every gear grind was a mental punch. But once I learned it and smoothed it out, man oh man is it a peach. Housemates though I was crazy driving a manual, but I knew I was doing something I absolutely love. I sold the Civic earlier this year (because repatriation) and moved to a rusty half-dead Pajero (LHD this time dah), only to find it even easier cuz the pedal position is much nicer than the Civic. As a side note, my left hand is actually better at shifting than my right hand Too bad these days when I go to a dealership of any brand and asked for a manual, I either get a No or a weird look. Autos are more expensive and/or hard to find, less commission more work, the sales guy just don't want to sell them. I probably have to tip them extra off the book to find me a manual.

While this video was made with the best of intentions, I feel like you made it much longer and more complicated than need be. I'm fairly sure I understand the concept, but watching your video confused me, rather than clarifying whether what I think rev-matching is, is correct or not. There was a lot of repetition, and I think what would have done the best job here is cameras on your feet and the Tachometer, to show us how they correlate. Here's my understanding of rev-matching, in the simplest expression: After pressing the clutch-pedal, you press the gas-pedal to raise the RPMs of the motor, then you switch gears, followed by releasing the clutch normally. The reason this is done is the difference in ratios of the gears: e.g. it will take 3rd gear fewer rpms to maintain a speed of 40km/h than 2nd gear. This is why when you shift lower from too high a speed in to a gear that is not meant to go the speed that you are going at, and you release the clutch too quickly as well, there is a jolt; the engine is spinning at lower RPMs than the driveshaft, and when the connection between the two is made in with the clutch, the engine has to speed up/slow the car down. So the engine RPMs are raised with the throttle to negate/remove the aforementioned effect. Anyway, you seem like a great guy, so have a like+subscribe :)

What do you learn how to do on a manual first? Upshifting or downshifting? Upshifting of course. So anything after that you must learn is an *advanced* technique. Advanced =/= Hard all the time, it just means another step up from the basics. And because you're a European you're obviously a manual expect who was shifting while in the womb, so I know this doesn't matter to you, but some people actually have to LEARN to drive a manual and for something that takes a bit more practice to get, like downshifting, it helps if they have a video guide them. Of course you never needed that since you wee downshifting since you were 6 months old, but not everyone is like that.

At 66 years old, I've enjoyed driving a manual almost forever (no I didn't know Henry Ford!). A perfect downshift is very rewarding, even if it isn't done on a track. My favorite twisty bits are my favorite because I get to practice the sublime art of driving a manual. It's always time practice shifting whenever I get in my car. I look forward to handling managing the car and myself even in stop-and-go traffic, which I don't mind doing (it's part of driving a manual, and helps one practice keeping one's cool in what could be an otherwise stressful situation). There must be a book out there titled "The Zen of Driving a Manual Tranny". Thank you Mr. Shanks for sharing. Very good video, imo Btw, VW MK6 Golf R owner here (Stage 1+ for now).

Hellooo my chatty hypomanic brother. GREAT VID just what I wanted to hear. My brief story: Just got rid of my first car, 2003 auto mirage. I saved up and am getting a ford fiesta st soon which of course will be a really really great drivers car to hone my manual skills on. I have to wait for my license to come off suspension as I lost it for 3 months from speeding. I have only driven a manual a few brief times so I figured while I wait in painful anticipation I should watch as many GOOD manual tutorials as possible so I get a tad of a head-start when I get into my new FiST (ugh gotta hate that abbreviation). This was just what I wanted to hear MOSTLY but I think you should go into deets about when you should down shift and how you combine it with cornering ect. So if you slow into a corner, do you downshift as you slow into the corner, then hit the acc hard as you pull out to get more torque from being in a lower gear so you pull out of the corner better? AH! I'll learn it all as I go along driving.. Such a noob. But I feel watching these kind of vids is in a way better than just learning all on my own when I start. I just can't wait to get started and get practicing so a year down the track I can be where you're at. But keep going cos like me you can articulate yourself very well it's so good to see a fellow fast talker just get right into things. Smart dude keep it up. GREAT vid, subbed. Brotha.

if you really want to take good care of your gearbox, start shifting into 1st gear when you are at a standstil, not 10mph (especially when stopping on traffic lights-I saw it at least twice that you did so). Also, you mentioned saving gas. after starting, don't go up to 3000 rpm with 1st gear. Use it ONLY to get the car moving, then immediately shit to 2nd ;)Just an opinion from a truck/bus driver :)

yeah try rev matching with a vehicle that doesn't have an RPM guage, that's what the heart of a manual transmission is, the person driving it and listening to what the vehicle needs. That is a true skill. show my girlfriend your videos to teach her to drive manual, as I'm a better driver than a teacher lol

Im a new driver and i allways struggled with shifting perfectly. I mean i could shift. But it was allways a little ruff on the clutch and the car was shaking. When i was asking pple why the car is doing that they didnt know how to tell me. They just said " give it more gas ". Anyway. When i got my own car i was driving around alot and i starting to get interested in the engine and the transmission. then i finally understood it by myself. My pple still dont understand when im talking about rev matching. I found it out myself and im really happy to see videos like this that comfirm my theory. Thank you. Also you are a nice guy. I see that you love driving. Wish you the best. Also nice car :D Greetings from austria.

How could it possibly be horrible for your engine? Yes you don't want to rev your engine to high rpm's when it isn't under load but when the rpm difference is 1-2k difference you aren't applying harmful strain on your engine because you nearly instantly apply a load onto it being in the previous gear. Correct me if i am wrong.. but your statement of "Ask any mechanic" as justification for you saying "Its horrible on your engine" i don't buy it. I have owned a number of cars over the years (all manual) and i have rev-matched, applied heel-toe to each of them on a daily basis and never had a problem.

What you are explaining is more to speed/acceleration ready condition with quite high rpm. For a good/efficient daily driving (the best fuel and speed ratio), it is the gear and rpm that gave the smoothest torque/power feeling with the lowest rpm possible. Manual transmission gear changing is an art of understanding the best Gear/rpm to use at what driving situation, condition and and also the capability of your car engine. Manual transmission car main weakness is anything to do with long queuing like traffic jam.

If you think you can rev match properly, try shifting without the clutch. Both up and down can be done in a mechanically sympathetic way. However, none of these techniques are required on normal road driving, in fact they are pretty much a waste of fuel and effort. Still it's fun and gives you some amusement on longer drives.

@Duskconqueror

+Aaron Tongue The best way to stop your car jerking is to practice finding the "grippoint" at standstill. Park on a place where you can drive forwards (for example the side of a save (empty) road) - Put your car in first and keep the brake-pedal all the way down to the floor. Keep the clutch also completely down. - Start the engine and slowly release the clutch untill you feel that the car wants to go forward. Now put the clutch back down and slowly release it again untill you find that grippoint. Repeat this a few times to get the feeling. KEEP THE BRAKES DOWN THE WHOLE TIME!! - Now release the brakes and put your foot on the gas. Lift the trottle again and you'll see that at grippoint your car starts rolling forward. Gently give it some gas while slowly releasing the trottle untill it's completely released. - Keep driving and put the gas down untill you reach about 3000 rpm in 1st. Now nicely release the gas while putting the clutch all the way down. Completely release the gas. Because this is a practice run, make sure you have enough momentum left to shift to 2nd. - Shift into 2nd and slowly release the clutch untill you're about to reach the grippoint. Just before that happens, let the engine spin up to reasonable rpm for your current speed by gently giving it some gas. Make sure you don't give it to much gas > too high rpm and you won't be able to shift properly. - Gently release the clutch. At grippoint you will feel that the car shifts smootly into second gear at the right rpm. Now slowly release the clutch completely while gently giving the car a bit more gas. Repeat this at 2-3 etc. If you have a (turbo-)diesel car instead of gas/petrol, you'll have much more clutch power and shifting feels different but the above still applies.

I just realized that I already have kinda been rev-matching just from the fact that, whenever I downshift from 4th to 3rd, my car jolts when I let off the clutch. However, my method of doing it involves pressing the clutch, shifting, THEN revving before letting off the clutch.
@yt678901
8 жыл бұрын
I only downshift from 4th to 3rd when RPMs drop so that 3rd gear can be engaged without friction to clutch. So i don't have to match anything. Decelerating on engine power will cause engine to reve more, and revs require fuel. So either you pay for brakes or for higher consumption of fuel and engine damage. I think breaking is lot cheaper.

I drove a manual before this, but after I started delivery driving I started practicing heel-and-toe and double clutching and it makes driving a world easier. I mean learning it wasn't. I had to do that on misty roads at 3 in the morning, and getting used to working the brake and the gas at the same time is one of the scariest things I ever did. I did and do all of this without a tachometer.
