@towtruckaj8 ай бұрын
Aint nothing to it, So long as you are in the right ballpark rpm to ground speed you can downshift it's just a matter of how much gas you need to give it, If you are going slow enough to need just a tiny bit of gas and itll slip in, if you are going pretty quick you need quite a bit of gas to get it in but it will go in itll just go in on the high side of the rpms. I downshift off speed not my rpm personally, My truck is a 9 speed so 40-50 I can downshift from 9 to 8, 30-40 8 to 7, 20-30 7 to 6. Takes a ton of throttle to get it to go in at the higher end of those speeds, takes no throttle or a tiny bit of throttle to get it in at the lower end of those speeds. If you have the speeds right you can downshift without any fuel at all, Next time you are coming to a stop hold the shifter against 2nd or 3rd and watch as you slow down and you get to the right speed it will slide into that gear without any pedal work at all (at least my truck will) some trucks might be slightly different but if you have the right speed you will get it.

Man was I wrong! I’m doing good on my up shifts but grinding on the downs. It was very helpful getting to watch how you work your feet. I’m pretty sure I have to use the clutch for shifting during my test though but will ask my instructor on the trip down to the test center.

So what I'm not seeing is what speed you're downshifting at. I keep grinding because sometimes I'm still going too fast regardless of trying to bring the stick out of gear at 1000 rpm. There's been many an instance where I'll get the stick out of gear into neutral, blip the throttle up to 1400-1500, and still grind. I've noticed in those instances that sometimes I can get it into gear if I blip the throttle to 1600. Basically what I'm saying is that maybe 1000-1400 isn't the sweet spot for all 10 speeds. If it was, I wouldn't be having anywhere near as many issues 😂
