@@Ryan_Carder synchros only help to match input speed to output speed, but when the engine is disconnected (i.e. clutch plate pushed away), the synchro has no idea what speed the engine is at, it's only syncing *it's* side of the car (gears, clutch, wheels, etc. Put simply). A rev match is then you matching the engine speed to the wheel speed, stopping your car from lurching and possibly absolutely destroying your power train.

Actually it's better, lets say you got a 1.9L diesel, your maximum output torque is at 2500-3300 and you drive in 4rd gear, at speed of 80 km/h if you downshift to 3rd gear you get high rpm high torque, but downshifting to 2rd gear is kinda bad, you are limited on how much speed you have, plus rpm ar at maximum 4000 and no longer have the power.

​@@cautarepvp2079 in this video specifically he unnecessarily goes through two gears to get from 4th to 2nd. There is no reason to blip twice and shift twice. 3rd gear was 100% redundant Going from 4th to 2nd in this case is not KINDA BAD whatsoever as long as you rev match properly

[@brabbit7703]

Well that's why if your rpm's are too high you don't switch down to second you just go to 3rd. This has nothing to do with down shifting twice just to get to 2nd just drop it straight to second.

you’ll put some wear on your synchros but yeah you’re right. double clutching (if done right) will put less wear on your transmission. although if you’re bad at it it will be worse than skipping a gear

If you do this often and want to save wear on your synchros, double clutch and skip a gear. That tends to feel smoother for passengers as well. Regardless, there's no need for a double shift in a non-sequential gearbox and double clutching is not required.

[@firewhisperer]

Okay so here is a breakdown for ya. He's in 4th Gear and he wants to go to second gear. Let's say for this breakdown his rpm is at 2000 in 4th Gear, 3000 at 3rd and 4000 rpm in second gear. He presses the clutch and uses the gas to increase the rpm to 3000. He then releases the clutch. Now he's in 3rd at 3000 rpm Now he presses the clutch again with a small amount of gas to increase rpm to 4000 and then releasing the clutch. Now he's in second at 4000rpm. The reasoning behind rev matching is to lower the stress on the springs on the clutch when changing gears. if you dont rev match you will have the engine flywheel and the trans clutch spinning at different speeds, when you release the clutch the springs will absorb the forces when the clutch and flywheel collide. if you hard drop the clutch a lot it can not only damage those springs but also the 2 wheels at the same time. conclusion, rev matching if when you rev up the engine to the necessary rpm during downshifts that matches the rpm for the gear you want to shift to at your current speed. im not a car expret but i hope you understand

[@Anxi3ty_]

@@firewhisperer oh wow thanks! I’ma go ahead and practice this. Every time I try to downshift either by rev matching or even with the heel toe method I keep messing up

[@BradChadley]

@@Anxi3ty_ Don't worry about it, just takes practice and time, and then you'll be able to rev match just fine. I personally think a double shift is unnecessary if you're wanting to drop a gear and take off. Instead, skip a gear. Let's say you're in 4th gear at 2000 RPM. 3rd and 2nd gear need to be rev matched at 3000 and 4000 RPM, respectively. Instead of a double shift, rev straight to 4000 and get her in 2nd gear. 4th - > 2nd. You can also double clutch in this scenario, which I prefer to do, but it's also not necessary and adds another step where mistakes can be made. So, just practice your rev matching and don't be afraid to skip gears. Just make sure if you do skip that the low gear your shifting too won't be above your engine's redline. Practice the movements slowly so you can focus on accuracy and getting your muscle memory down. When you feel pretty comfortable, start speeding it up, incrementally increasing how quickly and smoothly you can do it until it's second nature. After this, if you wanna throw in a double clutch or a double shift for fun, then do it! Good luck my friend!

Im soo glad I have an automatic

For the old heads... New Chevys have a shift assist gate that won't let you go from 4th to 2nd without doing this so you don't money shift. Also you can research shift-by-wire which completely defeats the purpose of a manual trans.

I love these manual tips shorts

I've been driving manuals for ever, i would just reg match from 4th to 2nd. Wich makes me curious, is that wrong? Bad for my car? Does that give me less power?

[@M54B30_fan]

If it’s a newer car with synchros you’d be fine skipping gears. I do it all the time. Synchros are made to mesh the different speeds smoothly and quickly. Obviously know what speed you’re going, because 4th to 2nd sounds scary radical due to over revving possibilities. But it would in a performance mood get you more power, if for example your car made peak hp @6600rpm, and you are in 4th gear @1900rpm, downshift to 2nd @4,000rpm, you’d get a better start and jump. Basically the only time you’d drop a gear to disappear if you’re on a highway and randomly wanna haul, or if u need to pass a truck or something of the sorts. Depends if your car has peak power higher in the rpm range, what speed you are going to determine which gears to be in, and whether your trans is synchro or not

@@M54B30_fan yea for older cars or project cars it can damage the engine tho

@@mnstrmassacre7670 for a higher milage trans just double clutch if you are going to skip or just do it whenever you are just regularly downshifting

I did that now my motors 2 miles back on the interstate 🤣jp good video

[@XxJAW5xX]

I use to do what you’re describing in the video but I then graduated into double blipping the gas were I just simply double blip the gas while keeping the clutch in & go from 4th to 2nd let out on the clutch & zoom 😎

Hahaha teaching me how to shift and you litterally just blowing up your shit with unnecessary shifting. nice rev match bud, try it from 4 to 2
