Tip: The shifts tend to go in the direction your palm faces. Whenever I'm doing an upshift (other than a 1-2) as a LHD driver, my thumb points downward (palm facing away from driver) so I don't miss it. I'd rather miss high than miss low. I've never seen this tip mentioned in any manual driving KZbin video.

[@iDayVids]

Exactly his hand positioning was for a second gear shift not 4th which shouldnt use any palm. Especially not palming towards left like he did

[@Neishy4AGTE]

Yeh I saw it too, it’s like he shifted down on purpose, but by accident. He didn’t shift like that earlier in the vid.

[@aquila121]

A nice, succinct way to summarize this habit (that I'd never heard before). Every time I see one of these videos, I get paranoid that I'll slip up on a track day and have this happen to me, but I think my muscle memory is already set to what you describe--doesn't mean I'd be infallible, but hopefully I can worry a bit less and not make this mistake.

That was waiting to happen with a shifter setup like that. The way you bend your wrist and how far your elbow moves behind your shoulder is completely wrong. Back to the drawing board on that one unfortunately

[@Celinestu333]

Bro can u explain what u said in detail

[@TheKrazykize]

@@Celinestu333 Just watch the first shift and you’ll understand. Ultimately, though, it’s up to the driver how they like their shift set up

[@smlfrd]

​@@Celinestu333 Sure. As a mechanical engineer having worked for multiple OE's and OEM's hopefully my advice isn't shrugged at, but each to their own of course. Every person's body is different, but for optimal operation, your forearm should be as close to perpendicular to the shifter as possible (thus generally parallel to your transmission tunnel). ie: your fist should be at the same height as your elbow. If not achievable, you're better off with the shifter lower rather than higher. This addresses the height of the shifter placement/configuration. For the longitudinal position of the shifter, you don't want your elbow to extend behind your mid-section. This is for multiple reasons but the primary for myself and lots of people I have worked with is it's far more comfortable to extend your elbow/arm forward rather than backward. There's just far more flexibility and thus reach with your shoulder blade (reaching forward) rather than the front of your shoulder/chest (moving your arm back). You may not notice after just a few shifts on the street but do it for hours on end or under pressure like on the track and you will make far more mistakes if you're not driving within these parameters. Ergonomics aren't really something we focus on when we modify our own cars but in the OE space it's critical.

Not really you can see he positions his hand for a downshift when he does it, he didn’t do that for any other 4th gear shift. That was straight human error it’s like he had a brain fart and shifted into second on purpose, but by accident if you get me.

[@Ibanez9007]

[@nmode7420]

I know this video is pretty old, but 2 things caused that: 1: The shifter extension. It is too high, which causes you to have a bad grip, see point 2: 2: Your grip. You need to get into the habit of gripping the shifter specifically for each shift, in such a way that it forces the right shift each time. For example: From 1st to 2nd, palm against the right side of the shifter (like how you money shifted). 2nd to 3rd, palm directly behind the shifter, push straight up, it will naturally cross the gate to 3rd. 3rd to 4th, palm on top, push straight back. 4th to 5th, palm the left side of the shifter. Reverse this for downshifts. Many people have a habit of grabbing the shifter on top, or wrapping their fingers around it the same way for every shift, and relying on muscle movement to force the stick in the right direction. If you simply palm it correctly, you dont need to direct the shifter, as it will naturally go the intended route.
