What Is Rev-Matching? Manual Shifting!

- What is rev-matching in a manual transmission? The idea is if you want to shift to a lower gear in a manual transmission vehicle, rev-matching allows for a smooth shift. For a given vehicle speed, the higher the gear you’re in, the lower your engine’s speed. So to downshift from 4th to 3rd the engine speed is going to increase. To compensate for this, the shift is as follows: you push in the clutch, blip the throttle (raising the engine speed to match the next gear), shift from 4th to 3rd as your engine speed climbs, and then let out the clutch. It’s easier on your vehicle, and doesn’t upset the car’s balance while shifting.

I’ve gotten so many hookups by mentioning rev matching at a party
😂😂😂😂
Maybe on a Nürburgring party, MAYBE...
@@staLkerhu haha my fav track , that reminds me. I still need to buy my photos from when I did the Touristenfahrten in 2021 lol
Dude I can see this working for chicks who actually drive a manual transmission and/or Gran Turismo fanatics 🤣
Dude same here!
I’m gay tho, so…
"I am so cool I always rev match
But I think we might match too" ahh rizz
ahhhhh
ahh skibidi
skibidi ahh 🤡😭🤓
ahh rizz
@secondoctoberseventhcommitter is definitely a iPad kid
I will say, once you get rev matching down it’s so satisfying because 1) it just sounds cool and feels so nice and 2) you didn’t jack up your transmission lol awesome content man. I drive a focus ST and have used your tips
In the UK we wouldn't even touch the accelerator to shift down your in high revs in 4th clutch then break. Shift down quick. Speed of vehicle has come down but revs is still high enough.
Same result but all wear goes on breaks without grinding up gearbox or clutch burning.
Focus st gang💪💪
@brazen_h5308 hey don't speak for everyone in uk I rev match all the time subconsciously lol
@kayahall7835 if you can't find it grind it
@@brazen_h5308 that's a horribly inefficient way to brake
It's a bit easier on the clutch's wear rate as well. If you've ever driven semi trucks with non syncromesh gearboxes, you know absolutely everything about rev matching😅😅😅
About 20 years ago, I drove old dump trucks from the 60s and 70s. I was shown not to bother with the clutch except for takeoffs; just rev match and slip it into gear. Later, I tried double clutching too, which worked but what a lot of work.
@chitlitlah Yeah, you're quite right. On those trucks, you can just "float" the gears if you match the revs perfectly 😁👍🏻
@DontAtMe777 Yep, just flick it into neutral, blip the throttle, and in it goes. 😁
only in america. whole europe drive modern trucks
@@labourlawact7826 if you can't find it... grind it! Float all 18.
this is what I need to master when driving a manual, my dad only taught me the basics in manual driving but not rev matching, thank you for this video
can u drive without rev matching and heel toe, i literally couldn’t.
@@pepefrog7456 I only drove the manual like slowly releasing the clutch cuz he thinks it'd be to advanced for me as a beginner when rev matching
@waterwombwurld eh my dad only taught me to put in the clutch then break then peel off in 1st or 2nd
@@pepefrog7456yes if you let the car slow down enough before downshifting. The way to go when driving trucks
@@GamerplusMore what do you mean by this? downshift just rev matching ?
I do this on my motorcycle. Surprisingly it’s actually a lot easier to do it on a motorcycle. That’s also where I learned how to do manual transmission.
Yes it's easier
I learned rev matching in car from riding motorcycle. If we ride/drive so much, It's kinda intuitive to have a smoother downshift, tbh. I rev match back then even without knowing there's a thing called rev match lol. Simply because i want a smoother down shift. As soon as i understand how clutch, throttle, and gear shifting works, i kinda knew intuitively how to blip and have a smoother downshift. And apparently, it's called rev matching, which sounds cool 😂
I thought same as you😂
I donno it has a technical name called 'rev matching'
Same man especially if you have a loud exhaust on your bike it's really satisfying.
My parents think I watch car driving videos because I basically thought myself watching. But in reality, I used my motorcycle to transfer the knowledge in driving a car. 😅 Sorry if my English is kinda bad, not my fist language.
Yah same
Looks like all pjts are here.
THANK YOU. I have heard this term for YEARS used among car guys always like "this guy doesn't rev match" but no one ever said what it was.
I practiced rev matching for years with a heavy flywheel diesel and electronic throttle. It takes a second till the ecu recognized my throttle input, but you getting used to it.
Kicking that pedal twice usually helps a lot
The first time I ever drove a manual transmission was in a semi truck. Rev matching is an absolute must in a truck. When I first found out that alot of people in normal manual transmission cars dont rev match it felt like I just discovered that some people still think the Earth is flat.
Some people do
Lol you dont really need to in normal driving. Most cars nowadays rev match for you if you let out the clutch little slower.
@nightmare8292 That's assuming people can even afford a new car anymore, lol. I've never owned a vehicle that wasn't older than me.
@@Vyssin Im not talking about new cars. I said modern. I once drove a 2000 saab 9-3 that did that.
The coolest kids rev match on automatic transmissions.
ive done it
How? @@dancearoundtheworld5360
I kind of did that in my Suburban. I'd accelerate, let off the throttle a little then the transmission would shift into the next gear, then I'd accelerate again. If I didn't do that the shifts were pretty rough.
i think showing it happening its more easy than describing how to do it
wow wow wow. I was doing this without even know what rev-matching was. I used a common sense I guess:) I wanted to shift smoothly. But funny thing was one of my older friends told me why am I holding the clutch when I am down shifting. I didn't listen to him and kept shifting like that. This was years ago. I didn't have an answer that day. I told my self that I wasn't an experience driver and my friend knew more than me. Thank you! Now I have an answer I should call him and let him know:)))
I prefer over-rev matching, matting it just before the clutch grabs, with that enjoyable shove back into your seat... Hopefully your tires can keep up, but it is honestly more fun when they almost can't.
@rohandhanota9944 this stuff about AC is just silly
@@jamescole322 why ?
This is also incredibly bad for the car (relative to the effort and self-discipline necessary to not do it)
I shifted my dads car from 4th to 1st and broke the clutch. He gave up teaching me manual. Learning on my own now.
Was it only the clutch you broke😂😂
Thanks man going to go try this in my auto now 👍🏾
It has been quite a time now that i have practiced this technique and now whenever i downshift (even at lower RPMS) it comes naturally and besides every skill a driver might have mastered, driving smoothly is number 1.
I started doing it a year back. Now, it is my goto technique when going downhill and needs shifting to a lower gear.
Rev matching saved my marriage
dude i mentioned it at a party and got with two chicks at the same time cuz of it! thanks bro!!!

In Europe this is just called driving 😅
In America it was too, until about 30 years ago. My father taught me this “secret” about the time manual gearboxes died off here.
No ITS Not, Most dont know this

@@marvin2678Incredibly ignorant comment.
@@marvin2678Bro what? What the hell were Americans driving before automatics became common then, Flintstones mobiles?
I’ve been slowly teaching myself these skills in a manual car with a sports clutch and it’s honestly coming along great, I can rev match real nice and am now close to perfecting heel toe shifting, I’ve never looked for help online cause there’s about 10 million people with completely different ideas so I just thought I’d teach myself instead 😂
Well said!! Thanks for the tips!! This is also going to extend the life of the clutch, transmission itself, and it’s actually a skill that can be improved with practice.
A friend showed me rev matching over 20 years ago and ever since then I do it all the time, no exceptions. It’s completely muscle memory.
I love rev matching on my motorcycle at every traffic light. It announces my arrival at the front of the line, and sometimes people move over for me (it's legal to lane filter in my state in Australia).
just because it's legal doesn't mean it's safe or sensical... hate lane splitting, I never do it on my bike. terrifying, annoys the majority of people, and just is plain dangerous
will also work on every engine with manual/semi-auto trans, also motorcycles
it does sound cool and will make your driving makes more swifty
Rev match downshifting with natural pops is one of the best feelings 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Holy crap what are those 3 comments... Anyways. Thanks for the insightful short EE!
idk man there’s almost 300 comments

Rev matching is probably the biggest reason why I still love driving manuals.
I wanna see you shift gears without using the clutch. That's the true skill for Rev matching
If you want to reduce wear on the synchros as well, let out the clutch shift to neutral then blip the throttle, then clutch in slip into gear smoothly no resistant clutch out.
Or if you are sure you can do it over and over again that everytime the gear stick slides in without any effort, you dont need to use the clutch either.
The clutch is a compensation for inaccuracies, and for starting from a standstill
Just found your channel again ! Gonna binge watch all your shorts
And is a skill any trucker who drives a stick shifter have, they always need to rev match the transmission to get in gear, otherwise they "miss" the gear, they have two options, both rev matching, the first one is double clutching (double clutch at first gear, for upshift clutch neutral clutch gear, for downshift, clutch neutral throttle clutch gear), and "floating" (double clutch at first gear, rev, and just before letting go the throttle, pull the stick and let it down to the next gear on the right rpms, if you "miss" one, you can't just press the clutch and put it on gear, you need to rev match your speed and gear to the propper rpms, once you dominate it, is pretty easy to do
That's one beautiful wheel.
Always have loved your content, Jason! Quick easy explanation. 👌
Thats a clean 400z
It’s more fun to do while braking when you’re heel/toe driving. And, it’s even MORE fun on a motorcycle where your right hand modulates the throttle AND the braking.
Skill based driving is so much more rewarding! It’s actually accomplishing something.
At rev matching you can shift without pressing clutch. That is rev matching. You are syncing the next gear speed with engine speed and is dependent by gear ratio.😊
The clutch was not put on in vain
In the majority of the time when you shift into a lower gear it means that you have to slow down too (turn or getting of the autobahn) in which case you would not rev match but brake, therefore your car speed is lowwer and matches the enginespeed again. Rev matching in itself only applies when doing a pull or you want to overtake someone then yes but this is taught to every beginner her in germany during driving lessons....
I don't even have a car and I'm still watching this.
Rev matching is so satisfying to do in motorbikes too
works every time never fails
I've been doing this for 4 years (I've been driving for 6 years) and now is when I realized it's called Rev Matching
Glad to see many above clarify that a rev match as described only takes the surge off the engine. A double de-clutch takes the surge off the engine and the transmission.
Jason has a video on this saying that double de-clutching doesn't do anything on transmissions with synchros
@@coreyduma325 whilst DDC is not necessary with a synchro gear box, just like ‘rev matching’ is not necessary, it is beneficial to a smooth transition. At 3.50 he explains that the middle sector of DDC will transition from everything running at different speeds to everything running at same speed. At 5.25 onwards he explains that with the clutch released everything is at a different speed. The synchro will then match 3rd gear speed (going at one speed lower than engine speed) to the output gear (which is going at diff speed) so it’s all about synchronising the teeth, not the speeds. Then let the clutch out and the 3 speeds (engine, layshaft, diff) will equalise. If you let clutch up in neutral then engine and trans will be blipped all to the same speed which you will forecast to be the speed needed to prevent surge from the diff/drive. The collar on the synchro will only match the position of the teeth it will not change the speed of the layshaft up or down. Single blip on engine will take care of most of the surge by a downshift whilst a blip under DDC will put all surges, including trans surge, to the bare minimum. Jason clarifies that synchro boxes don’t need DDC, just like a single clutch and blip is not needed but it all helps .. hope that helps you investigate further and rewatch Jason’s excellent video… he really is very good.
So this is what pops been doing in a Toyota yaris when he is about to take over someone so he down shifts and the car is so cool u never notice any hiccups or trembling.
Or if you just want to decelerate slowly through the gears smoothly you can double clutch which has a similar effect of driving out that lurching motion you get from granny shifting.
My car's original clutch has 220k miles of wear on it.
If i rev match, or have the engine spinning faster than the drivetrain, it's less stressful on the clutch when it engages.
Double clutching while doing this will be a bit challenging at first, but it makes rev matching much smoother
you should float the gears too, to save your clutch from wearing out
i do that all time in my car, i learned this alone lol
I admit doing that when I can. The only difference in my steps is that I first shift down before blipping the throttle and releasing the clutch.
not only do I rev match, I heel/toe every downshift and drift every corner 😎
القير العايدي طرب اصيييل ❤
thanks, I just bought a DCT car today, RIP my manual car
Fast & Furious fans are watching this intensely, trying to learn every detail so they can go out and ruin their Honda's transmission. All the while, they are still trying to figure out granny shifting and double clutching to gain those extra 10 gears in a race.
They never had their car. Definitely fried the piston rings... At least rev match or double clutch instead of granny shifting it. LOL
Only really needed if you want to downshift and maintain your speed. Most drivers will slow down then shift gears for the puropse of cornering, roundabouts etc.
This is really well explained video about rev matching. Can you do the double clutch next?
What's also neat is that you can shift up and down without using the clutch. Pretty useful when your clutch is about to go. 😅
I got addicted to rev matching my motorcycle
With a car though i need more practice 😅
well i never knew i was totally always rev matching my bike without knowing it was a thing
Dang 8yr ago still fire
I lost a street race to Dominic Toretto. Afterwards, he told me I was granny shifting and not rev-matching like I should.
Been practicing heel-toe for a while, much smoother on low gear shifting especially at 1-3 speed
I've been doing this to my automatic transmission.
Never heard about letting the cluth very slowly?
The lurching is actually the biggest braking you can get from down shifting. As thats mostally always the reason why you downshift. You could just as well let go of gas, and hit the brakes saving you fuel
Damn that was informative ❤
I just always did this? Didnt know it has a name
Its the thing while your tip of your feet is on the brake pedal while the bottom part of it blips the throttle
My dad used to rev match the grocery 🛒 when I was a toddler in the isles of man TT
Nissan Z is GOAT of 2020s Japanese Cars.
Trying to get this pat-down on a motorcycle, it lurched a lot.
This rev matching things is the things that we always do when riding a motorcycle right? 😂
I will just heel toe downshift 👍
New to stick, figured this was the case on my own but w algorithm and w video for confirming it
Fun fact: you also need to rev match when shifting a gear up. Obviously, you need to lower the RPM, to about the max torque for your engine.
never came to my mind that this is a thing. I just did it. now I have to think about it 😂
Have been doing this ever since I've learned how to drive both car and bike. Everyone who notices this technique calls me a showoff.😅
Interestingly enough the bottom tier rings here are actually almost all top tier for SL1
I'm learning with matching now because I just got my first standard car a 2006 5 speed mustang I know how to drive a standard but I'm learning more about it and how to do shifting more proper and double clutching and all that
I rev match all the time, and by engine braking it saves my rotors and pads 👌
Rev marching saves on clutch, it’s more comfortable, unloads the engine and gearbox, sets up for acceleration afterwards..
But Jason, why are we here, aren’t we going electric with no gears and silent driving, no emissions? The sky should be green by 2030.
In extreme cases, you can try double declutching.
They use rev matching in racing too for a smoother down shift
Wait, are people driving manuals just randomly shifting into gears without accelerating or braking first? You do that on a motorcycle and learn real fast to rev match. I guess when you start right away with cars, you don't learn these things.
Instruction unclear, the car began drifting when rev matching.
For the right rev match just remember each gear has a 1000 rpm difference. So rev up 1000 rpm to shift.
That's very vague.
@@tommeiner9983it works on some cars.
Rev matching is how you shift a big boy manual, Graduate from child play to big trucks and you'll learn it well.
What the hell is "blip"?
Tapping the gas pedal slightly to get the rpms up
Now try clutchless UPshifting using rev matching.
I prefer to Rev-max thank you
I like cars, and even when I meet someone at a party who wants to talk about things like rev matching, I think "God, why me?"
Rev matching = perfectly floating gears
I actually thought it was just bad to only use the clutch for downshifts. I’m just so used to it now, after paying $3500 for a corvette clutch
Rev Matching is a must learn for any stick driver. And I legit believe most people learn it by themselfs after some time driving. Otherwise their ride quality will be very bady lol
Not really. Most people don't even know such thing exists & continue shifting down without rev matching.
Its just smoother and prevents exessive clutch wear. It becomes second nature car or bike.
No joke i've been doing this since i got my driving license (9 months ago) its second nature now.
no one knows what rev matching is so no one appreciates my skill :(
My mom is been driving manual for 20+ and she didn't know this
Great explanation. But I see you are in a 370z and like mine it has the auto rev match feature
