Hope this im not asking a silly question, But what happens if you put it on Manual mode, and you keep on accelerating in such a way that you'll go over the red line, does it eventually shift for you? And also, when slowing down, say to a complete stop, and you're in 4th gear does it stall or it shifts down for you?
@paulstake2 жыл бұрын
It probably depends on the make. On the Scion, it cuts power when it hits redline but it won't shift for you. It will not stall....

Great video Paul! Probably the best I’ve seen honestly. One thing though, I love driving my dct on the “manual mode” but being that I’ve never actually driven a manual car I’m not too sure on how to bring the gears down. Every time I drive it in manual mode I have no problem going up gears but when I’m closing in on a stop or a red light whenever I try to downshift my RPMS shoot up like crazy and the cars engine starts yelling for help! I then freak out and put the car back onto “Drive” until it’s time for me to go again, then I put it back into the manual mode. Any suggestions or thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? Thank you !

@InTheSh86 ай бұрын
Like in a manual car the first gear is really just for accelerating out of a full stop. You won't really switch back to it before a junction while deceleration. I also try to figure out how to drive it best. Approaching traffic lights I decelerate and try to only shift back to 2, not to get this abrupt "braking" of the first gear. If I have to do a full stop I then switch to 1 when the car is not in motion anymore. On a slope it could be different.

Paul is right. You don’t have to let off the gas. It confuses the car when you do. You can ease off a little if you’re trying this out in a new car, and you don’t know it well. Just so you don’t red line it. Since some cars always have a second before they shift. I’d just keep your foot on the gas and shift. Most new cars protect the transmission in these manual modes.
