God, I miss my Dad's manual Hilux. Literally learnt everything you're talking about by taking my knowledge of how manual transmissions work and my experience driving the car and mashing them together till it (surprisingly) made sense. Then I started rev matching, avoiding dumping the clutch, avoiding riding the clutch, avoiding generally being on the biting point for too long. I got so good at driving the car, even passed my driving test in it, but alas, the car was stolen. :/

Sometimes my car jerks when I change down gears, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it kangaroos when I release the clutch after moving off, sometimes it doesn't. Again, exactly those situations shown in this video. But I didn't know what I was doing wrong. Now I know, and I'll take steps to correct it. This is definitely something I will work on. I had no clue I was causing excessive wear to the drivetrain components. Wow! I've been driving a manual for close to two years, and I'm still learning something with every new video!

I did exactly what you described there with my first car, resting my foot on the clutch and it not only caused tremdendous stress to the release bearing, but also wore the clutch down and put it under constant heat when it was slightly dragging from time to time. Needless to say my clutch exploded ( was an old car ). I am glad you put this in your video so beginners never have to make the mistakes i did and learn the hard way like me.

@@ConquerDriving Are there any data how often release bearings wear out? One, how often does it happen that a release bearing needs to be changed before the clutch disks need to be replaced? Conversely, how often do people change the clutch disks without changing the release bearing (because the release bearing is in a such a good shape)? Also, how does the release bearing wear and start-stop system interact? I have only driven cars with start-stop systems briefly, as much as I remember, pressing down the clutch while at a standstill triggered the start-stop system while releasing the clutch restarted the engine. And for cars without a start-stop system, couldn’t a rule of thump be that if you are at a stop long enough to warrant putting the transmission into neutral (and thus releasing the clutch pedal), this would equally warrant shutting off your engine? Of course, in a car without a start-stop system the battery and alternator might not beefy enough to support too frequent engine shutdowns.

It's very interesting to me how in the UK it seems it is taught to use the handbrake quite often. Here is Slovenia, everyone who is stopped at the lights for example, uses brakes to prevent rolling back, as far as I know never the handbrake. Also on a hill start, I was taught to use the handbrake on very steep hills, but on some even moderate hills I was encouraged to hold the brake, then swiftly get the clutch to bite and a little throttle at the same time. Ofcourse that was later in the driving lessons, where you are used to the bite point. It probably also helped a bunch that it was a diesel, which I believe to be harder to stall. Now in my 3 months I actually never used the handbrake while driving, since I noticed that our fiat has a hillholder assist, that keeps the brakes engaged on steeper hills for a couple seconds, until you set the bite point and throttle. Quite a handy feature, definitely something to check when buying a new old car

Got to learn to move and do a hill start using the clutch pedal Only, on a car with a 900cc petrol engine in my driving school. I couldn't believe that such a small engine could deal with that, so i was using the gas for hill start practice and moving from a standstill, just in the same way as presented in this video. Then my instructor says this is not the way to use the clutch :D Clutch down, 1st gear, start depressing the clutch(very slowly) and at biting point release the brake pedal( on handbrake you notice the nose of the car pull up on fwd) and keep holding it there to make sure you get the car still, then release the clutch gradually a tiny bit more with no sudden moves, and after 3-5 seconds the car would start going. I was amazed! Same for level surfaces, no gas ever before the clutch has coupled. It is a slower start, but i believe it saves a lot on the clutch, and the best way to learn for beginners, which indeed may be frustrating at first. When i got my licence for truck driving i stumbled on another instructor who teached me another way on how to minimise the clutch wear when changing gears: When changing from 1st to 2nd to 3rd, 4th to 5th, etc - as you approach for ex. 2-3000 rpm, release the gas, and clutch in only after you have fully released the gas, change to next gear,start releasing the clutch, let the clutch finish coupling, only after that, start pressing the gas pedal( not before fully releasing!(catching myself on that often)). This demands quite a bit of patience and concentration, and it creates like a little bit of lag in speed increase curve(as it is mostly a truck driving style to get the max life out of the componennts to avoid extra costs in the fleet), but after some practice, any car will become a piece of cake to start driving, even if you get in for the first time - feel the clutch 1-2 times and you're good to go. Great advice in the video with easily understandable explanation. I like the bearing part, as i was also told thst it's not good to hold the clutch in for long periods of time but not told what was the reason behind that.

Heel and toe can also preserve your clutch on engine braking
Idk how I came across this video, but for people that want to really keep the clutch wear to a minimum, learn proper downshifting with rev matching. Rev matching will prevent the clutch from heating up and eliminate shocks (your head bumping the dashboard when going from 3rd to 2nd). One more thing: when downshifting and holding the clutch partially waiting for the revs to match, the clutch gets hot AND your brakes and suspension fight the whole weight of the car and they are not designed to do that, so your brakes and suspension take a really significant hit over time there. Never stop learning people

Again, this is a bit of a more advanced topic, gotta learn the basics first of course. Keep up the good work!

Great video, although I have a quick question. Noticed that you have two methods when changing up gears: clutch to bite point and add gas, and the method you show at 8:28, which involves adding a small amount of gas before you get to the bite point. Which is better for clutch preservation, or isn’t there anything in it?
@linussandell831
2 жыл бұрын
When you're holding the clutch at the bite point what you're essentially doing is letting your synchros match the rpm of your wheels to your engine. So by giving a bit of gas before letting the clutch up is known as rev matching which can help your synchros match the rpm faster meaning you don't need to hold it at the bite point for as long. So in a short answer: yes, it does help by giving a bit of gas before. On a second note he has a very good video on it, called rev matching if my memory serves me right.

Maybe it's because my car has a high rev hang time but I can usually change up without having to slip the clutch at all, basically release the clutch as the revs drop to the speed the gear required. 2nd at 30mph is 3000rpm, 3rd at 30mph is 1800rpm... 5th at 30mph is 1200rpm and 5th at 50mph is 2100rpm. I rarely use 4th gear other then when I'm doing 20mph as I can hold the mpg at 90mpg at this speed in this gear at roughly 1100rpm other then that I usually jump from 3rd to 5th. The 5th gear 30mph cruising is done as I can hold the mpg at 110-120mpg... You can even accelerate by lightly pushing the throttle just enough to drop to 100mpg... Once you get upto 50mph 5th gear usually hovers around 70mpg.

@ChristianSingh You silly don't know anything about driving or damaging transmissions. A big YES to downshifting to 1st gear!!! I do that a lot and there is a very good reason behind it relevant to good care of a manual trans car and it happen too often if you are really a driver. The guy in this video is right all the time. The scenario: Driving in whatever high gear, and not far in the horizon down the road I see traffic really slow and cars' tail red lights ahead of me are intermittently on and off as they move slowly for an indefinite distance and stop and again and again...I lift my right foot off the accelerator completely and let the car idle/coast until I reach within about few tens of meters and where my idle engine rpm slowed down to around 1300/1200 (I don't need to look at the gauge, just sense the entire system [wheels, vibration, clutch, transmission] by feeling) and so then at around the above mentioned rpm I hit the clutch, shift to neutral then slow down further and smoothly with the brake pedal while weighing and calculating the traffic's speed and then change to a gear suitable for that; let's say 2nd, but somehow upon getting closer and closer I figure out that even 2nd gear (say 5 mph depends on car) is still really too much and the car would start to vibrate if I use the brake to slow down further! There ladies and gentlemen where I find myself and rightly so technically and physically obliged to downshift to 1st gear!!! 👏Here transitioning to 1st gear goes wonderfully smooth and the car moves really slow but most importantly in sync with our traffic scenario speed!!! Of course as you know, at any moment in our traffic I might very well find even the 1st gear is too fast 🤔 I then hit clutch/brake almost simultaneously and shift to neutral, release the clutch and keep pressing on the brake pedal waiting to launch 1st gear again☕

Learning to drive on a pickup that had a 4 speed unsynchronised transmission you had to learn proper clutching to change gears. One thing I still recommend people that are driving a standard is to learn to shift without the clutch. You have to match your revs. And of course being in Canada automatics are the norm for anything other than commercial trucks and even there automatics are becoming more popular. In B.C. at least if you have a commercial licence and took your test on an auto you restricted to automatics. Which by the way was how it was in the 50's when I got my licence. Do you have much experience on the dual clutch automatics?

with modern diesel engines and probably also gas engines its also good to try and learn starting to from a still without using the gas for example when on a slight hill not using the handbreak but rather the normal break let the clutch out with still pressing the break and than just letting the car itself give more gas and only using the clutch and than moving your foot from the break to the gas immediatly without rooling backwards for example so that slight moment when you move your foot the car does the first bit of giving gas and than you take over and give it more gas, with modern diesels ive managed to get started from a stand still without using the gas at all which is the best option for the clutch, but since i got my miata i kinda started throwing this behaviour out the window and just doing dumps and fast starts with quite a bit of revs but thats prolly just because im young and like driving spiritedly xD edit: even with the old tech in my miata i also am able to start driving without using the gas but its harder cause the engine computer is slower and takes more time to adjust the idle gas flow to a higher amount so i need to let the clutch out slower but still without gas or i just do the rooky way and just let the rpm drop to like 300rpm its jerky as hell but safest way for the clutch cause it just bogs the engine but its connected completly without slipping safing about 700rpm of "wear" if that makes sense, and the engine usually is able to recover from the 300rpm quite quickly when i immediatly give it some gas, so its just a bit jerky but when im alone i dont mind it at all and it always just makes me laugh because i can feel the pistons fireing in the whole car which just makes me aprreciate the tech which goes into an engine like this hahaha edit 2: wow its been a while since i wrote this comment, coming back to this now. Yes my 32y old miata is still doing well but its a lil worse for wear but not because of my driving, just because of its age, on hills i usually just give it a bit of gas to start driving, ive noticed (now that i have more driving experience, the miata was my first car) that even tho its a gas engine it still is quite torquey down low, because the car is so light, meaning that the engine even with not that much torque can move the car quite quickly, so on stand stills on trafficlight or smth i can move quite quickly with just bogging down the engine (which on this non turbo engine is quite fine) and get going that way saving quite a bit wear or just blipping the clutch to the bitting point and a little bit more to give the engine time to recover the revs slightly so that it doesnt stall. i dont know why i like driving that way with the car dong jerky stuff but i just feel like its so connected to what i am doing and i just like it, thats why i probably would never get an automatic car.

Pro tip: if you double clutch and rev match yourself you won't have to worry about destroying your clutch or your transmission at all. Letting the clutch rev match for you actually means that the synchros are working for you. But unless you're doing downshifts revving up to 3k revs or more you are probably alright. But since I sometimes go up to 4k revs when rev matching from 4th to 2nd gear I try to double clutch to not wear out my clutch and/or transmission.
@rufusgreenleaf2466

Yea but suddenly teaching people to double clutch without any safe lessons will just cause people to make a fool of themselves and burn their gearbox apart. I would only reccomend double clutching if you are a confident driver anyway and have time to practice somewhere quiet. It can be different for different cars also.

@@nicklasveva Yeah I mean it is especially useful when you skip a few gears to bother. Don't really sure by the way why in races they usually drop them one by one, skip a few feels faster.

@@She1lby the reason for race car drivers not dropping multiple gears is that if they drop one gear at a time they: 1. Don't over rev the engine (since they're almost always on the rev limit) 2. Use the engine braking to reduce brake fade caused by excessive braking. 3. Probably something more that I forgot about.

I've got into the habit of moving off in second gear quite often, even on a flat road, just coming up slowly at the clutch with just a little gas, and holding it at the bite long enough to get above the stall point, then coming off the clutch. Is this bad for the car and putting unnecessary wear on the clutch, or is it something I can get away with?

Useful video as always! Do you think the rev numbers you use would vary depending on whether the engine is a turbo or not? In my previous car (1.2 turbo Kia Picanto), it was almost impossible to set the gas at 1500rpm, it was 2000 or nothing effectively. I don't know how much of that was due to the delayed reaction of the turbo and/or the small engine not being great at fine control (or just me!). I've now bought an Alfa Romeo Brera Prodrive S (2.2 non-turbo) and was expecting this to be a lot easier without the turbo delay but setting the gas just under 2000 rpm is still tricky and the revs just keep rising when you hold the gas still. It's probably just a case of more practice and getting a better feel for the engine note (that was easier in the Kia because the engine was louder, you can push this Alfa quite high before you get much of a growl from the engine bay). I've been spending way too long with the clutch depressed in traffic it seems, so that's one thing I'm definitely going to change.

Some cars are like that, you have to lift the clutch at the same time as pressing the gas to prevent the revs going to high. Here is a video on gas control: kzitem.info/news/bejne/rJ2d0Xebb3OYnaA

I have 1.2 tsi turbo polo and I can easily launch at for example 1200 or 1600rpm. The turbos in these small engines are usually so small that in my case I don't really notice a difference when I'm starting to move. Only in sharp accelerations when moving I feel the turbo and power kicking in. My car can be completely different to yours though.

Mine are still good after 18,000 hours of use, the 180,000 miles does not represent the wear as it's a learner car, I'm guessing the equivalent wear is that of a 500,000 mile car given the hours of use and all the people who learn clutch control in it. My understanding is the oil film stops engine bearing wear almost completely.

@@ConquerDriving Wear substantially occurs on startup when you have to push the clutch in, sideloading the crankshaft when there's no oil pressure. To know if there's wear on the thrust washers, you have to measure crankshaft end play with a dial gauge. Typically it has to be between 5 and10 thou, 15 thou being the service limit.

Hello. Very well explained. Nevertheless, I have one question, which I struggle with for couple of months now, and I will be very happy if you could give an opinion: as you may know Hyundai introduced a so called intelligent manual transmission (iMT) on their MHEV which is actually a clutch with electrical connection instead of mechanical. The point of this is to reduce the emissions by allowing the computer to disengage the clutch and shut the engine down when coasting. Well, I personally see this as a problem as the springs of the pressure plate and the release bearing are "working" every time the car is coasting. For the pressure plate I have no doubt that the wearing is the same but regarding the release bearing, considering that the engine is stoped and so the bearing is not revolving, does it take any supplementary wear?
@ConquerDriving
2 жыл бұрын
I do know the system. Any extra use of the release bearing will cause wear but as you say, the engine is off and not spinning. The release bearing will only spin if the engine is spinning.

I saw some vids that u can upshift gear without using clutch and it was about 2.8 thousand RPM, so why does it heat cluch if it is not needed ? In my own experience with my car, i up shift about 3 thousand rpm (except in first start in morning when i have to be soft for the engine) and it is so smooth ! But when i up shift lower i have to stay more on clutch to synchronise, else the engine does not sound right. Also, it was normal to shift at 3 because when i am on up hill, if i up shift lower, the engine will lug and i have to down shift again. Am i doing it right ? Thank u for the vids, even i drove for 2 years, every time i discover new stuf in your channel !

Listen to your car, if it struggles when you shift up at a lower rpm then you need to shift up at a higher rpm. Up hills I tend to shift up at around 3000rpm. kzitem.info/news/bejne/rX56sHuwi4SAiJw But when I driving as fast as I can I tend to wait until the red line: kzitem.info/news/bejne/y6OQyqaArIiGfXY
