    I love using the paddles when I’m on some nice backroads. Do you guys like using your paddleshifters in your car?

      I got them on my Mercedes C300 and didn't even use them for 2 years. Then I saw the light. Makes driving so much more fun. More so downshifting because now you can brake with the engine and make a lot of noise coming to a stop. Good times....

    I've been looking for this video, thanks! I've been seeing an increase on paddle shifters on the automatic cars I've been looking at (as an automatic-only driver) and was curious on how/when to use them without any manual driving knowledge. This was super helpful!

    Also, don’t use Race Start more than a few times a year (only when the trans. & engine are up to temp).
    And most importantly, don’t downshift until the RPMs for the gear you’re in are lower than 2500

    With manual shifts one should break and reduce shifts, in order to efficiently and safely reduce speed. So, paddle shifters should be the same.

    hi... TQ for sharing, a very informative vdo especially for people like me who is not well verse with pedal shifters.
    just one question (please don't laugh)... how about the foot pedal, do we need to release the gas pedal (accelerator) like driving a fully manual transmission car when changing gear? so when chaging gear with pedal shifter, do the foot gas pedal need to be release?
    thank you very much...

    I'm driving manual gearbox cars for over 30 years and engine breaking is great way to slow your car. Better control, less wear on the breaks and less fuel. Hit the breaks on snow or ice and you are out of control.

    When you downshift do you still have to press the gas in or let your foot off?

    • @MrEdwardCollins
      @MrEdwardCollins 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You can do either. However, often when you downshift it's because you want to slow down the vehicle or anticipate wanting to slow down the vehicle very soon, for one reason or another. (Stoplight or traffic ahead, etc.) If that's the case, then yes, it's desirable for you to want to let your foot off the gas a bit anyway.
      But it won't hurt the vehicle, either way, if your foot is still on the gas or if it is not, when you downshift.

    Press down pedal on the steering wheel will go down a gear, press up pedal on the steering wheel will go up a gear, the higher rpm the more power you get per gear. Screen flashes red when you get into hig rev and you should shift up, but the car has over rev protection even in manual mode. There, saved you 10 minutes of your time

      Because algorithms and computers will never know better than a human. The car can’t see that I need to remain at high RPMs to cut someone off within the next 10 seconds. There are so many reasons to drive manually, that I think you just trolling. No way you don’t see even 1 benefit. Maybe you haven’t driven a performance car
