Hi Jay millard - look in your owner's manual for the recommended rev for 1 to second gear. There is a recommendation there, which will work as a starting point. Also, experiment with lower revs. What is suggest is ascending revs as you move up in the gears. In my Honda with a 2.0L engine I've shifted 3 gears before getting through an intersection. The faster you get through the gears, the better fuel mileage you're going to achieve. All the best, Cheers Rick

My teacher taught me to pretend you're pulling up in first when you switch to second, so let out the clutch slowly while feeding in the throttle. Helped me alot. No idea if it's good or bad for the car but it's reallly smooth compared to just shifting normally.

Hi Arvid Ooms - that is great advice. Yes, bring the clutch out to the friction point and then control the pedal through that approximately one inch where the two plates in the clutch are coming together - as you said. And like you said, as your moving the clutch through the friction zone (biting) start giving throttle. All the best, Cheers Rick

I’ve been driving for over twenty years but my manual for a week. At first I was terrified of stalling and having people honk at me but at 75 I just restart the car and not let it get to me. I’m getting there, it’s just great to have a car again. I had to give up my car with the pandemic and then recently someone gave me this stick shift and I love it. I kind of feel like if I can do this I can do anything.

Hey, man! I've been driving for more than a year now but I felt the whole time that I'm switching gears wrong. I guess my driving instructor failed to explain it right to me. All the videos that I watched concentrate on basics which I already know, but your video opened my eyes on what I was doing wrong. I tried this evening and I can't say that I made it right from the first try, but I think I've figured out what is the right way to do it so now I just need to practice a bit. Anyway, thank you very much, great video! For other starters, here is my mistake: after pushing the clutch pedal I stepped on the gas pedal a little bit and tried to manually fix the revs on the right point to switch gears. Sometimes I got it, sometimes not (after long practice I usually fitted the revs right), but the main problem is that I stayed much longer with detached clutch than if I would do it like this video explains. Hence more time without proper control of the car; longer shifts; slower acceleration; increased clutch wear and so on. You better learn the proper way of shifting gears because it's way harder to overcome your bad habit.

I love that the rest of the world didn’t abandon the manual transmission like we’re in the process of doing in the US. I drive a manual for plenty of reasons, most important of which is that I like to drive. I gotta say, it’s blowing my mind thinking about having to select gears with my left hand. I don’t think it would be easy to retrain. Great video and spot on. The more “smooth” you want your shifts, the more wear you can potentially impart upon your clutch pack. The harder shifts may be a quicker transition from engaged to disengaged but that abusive might be felt on other parts of the drivetrain (ie universal joints etc). When I’m alone it’s not as big a deal, but I am definitely more conscious of my shifts when I have passengers. Especially if their heads are bobbing back and forth.

I drive a 2004 Honda Civic Si, I've noticed while upshifting, the lower the RPM the smoother it shifts. Example Accelerating in 1st, I rev until about 3k RPM, clutch in, wait a second for the RPM to go down to 2k and it slides into 2nd perfectly.

@alexswanson1247
@alexswanson1247 4 жыл бұрын
Yup, that's called rev matching. When you change gears the speed the engine is spinning with the transmission changes, because with the clutch pressed youre disengaging the transmission and engine from the wheels. When shifting up, let the rpms fall, every car is different so you'll need to play around with the amount. When shifting down, you want to add a bit of gas with the clutch pressed in. That will raise your rpm to match engine speed to wheel speed, making a smooth transition.

Yeah for a 4-cylinder that would be the perfect shifting procedure, but with a V8 you would rub up to about 4000 and try to shift at around 3000 or 2500. Any lower than that then the engine will starve for RPM's

Good luck with getting used to it man, one thing that I wish I knew when I learned was that when releasing the clutch, the speed at which you do it doesn't really matter until you get to the biting point. You can release it quick just be slower when you're in that point and you're good; that should make upshifting a lot quicker.

One thing I want to comment on is also applying gas the right amount for whether you are accelerating or cruising at the same speed. If you are accelerating the force of the car is pushing you into the back of the seat. When you push the clutch in you stopped that push for a moment but not enough to feel like you are engine braking. So when you are applying the gas you would want to smoothly apply the throttle again to get the weight transition to be smooth.

The problem is, when you're accelerating in the first gear e.g you will force a kick forward due to the clutch suddenly stops the acceleration. You can switch the gear as smoothly as you can, in the end you have to be careful and the clutch and the gas pedal especially in the lower gears you mentioned. In the upper gears the problem isn't there, at least you don't have HP-MONSTER ^^

I dun goofed. Had 4 minors and 2 majors. Both majors were stupid mistakes that I wouldn't usually make. You are probably wondering what i did wrong. To put it simply, I was too nice. I stopped on the left turning left lane to give way to an oncoming right turner. Obviously I had priority and it was very stupid and dangerous but the road confused me. Mean little road. The second was for a "meeting in the road" where both forward and oncoming lanes merge into a single file give-way system. I messed up my gear change and therefore was unable to give-way at the give-way. Another shitty road. There goes £106. *sigh* That's a lot of money to me considering i am a student. Student being the universal euphemism for broke ass mofo!

I’ve been driving stick for about a month now, and I thought myself so I might be missing something, I struggle starting in slow speeds! And also, some days I feel like a gentle beast with buttery smooth shifts, but some days I’m just shit

To put it simply you want the clutch to be released as close to the required RPM as possible. So when you go up a gear you want to release the clutch as your RPM goes down to where it should be for that speed. For example in my car if I went from second gear to third gear at 80km/h then in second gear that would be at around 5-6K rpm but for third gear that is only about 4K rpm so the smoothest shift would be one where I release the clutch as the rpm lowers and is getting close to 4K rpm. And it works in the other direction if you want to downshift then you want to (between gears) use the accelerator to increase your rpm so in the example above but in the other direction (third to second at 80km/h) I would be at around 4K rpm in third and while shifting to second I would put my foot on the accelerator to bring the rpm up to around 5K that way the clutch isn't having to slow your wheels to increase engine rpm making it smoother.

I just use the mph indicator. 1-10 = 1st, 10-20 = 2nd and 20-30 = 3rd and I do this for downshifting from 30, too. So when o hit around the 22mph mark going down, I'll shift to 2nd.

No need to ge timing your clutch release thats too much work, people should learn to rev match with throtle, its easy and in time you can do it just by the sound of engine. Shift and as you release clutch add a bit of gas and it should be as smooth as automatic. Upshift or downshift always use a bit of throtle to revmatch and after a bit of practicing it becomes second nature and you dont even have to think about it at all it becomes as natural as breathing, at least thats how my father taught me and it works perfectly for me, listen to engine because nothing can tell you better when and how to shift than a sound of engine. The car is speaking to you dont ignore it

It really all depends on how many RPMs you give it. You can go from first to second pretty quick as long as you're not slamming on the throttle. And when I'm driving at a slow rate of speed like you're doing, I would rarely go any higher than 4th gear. I may not go no higher than 3rd gear if the speed limit is below 30 miles an hour. But I have a 03 Mach 1 and they run better at high RPMs
