      It's mostly useful in somethibg like the video, a 5 ton 6x6 military vehicle. Hill climbs are where you need it so you don't loose momentum.

      5 ton 6x6 military vehicle, with lots of play in the clutch.
      not quite the same as your sporty little nissan.
      In this, the syncros are small, and it just won't go into gear without a little help.
      around town, you don't always have time or room to rev match.
      on steep climbs with a load on it can be up to 6.5 ton, you absolutely need to blip on the downshift to avoid coming to a dead stop.

      @@MarcDufresneosorusrex No so much quicker, but easier. in the case of down shifting, it allows for shifting into a lower gear for engine braking.
      for shifting up, it helps when you have work sychros, or when you want to reduce wear on them.

    Each time this trucker depressed the clutch pedal the driver also engaged the clutch brake while in motion. The clutch brake is at the bottom of the travel in the pedal. The clutch brake should only be engaged when stopped. Clutch pedal should engage clutch much sooner than the bottom of pedal travel or it needs adjustment. Clutch brakes do exhaust.

    I having been driving for 2 years now with a 13 speed freightliner and tend to use a mixer of double and floating (depends on load and grade) i double clutch more often then not because it just much more fluid for me and the way i was taught so 100% comfotable habit. I know my engine and can just shift when i know its time, I have been getting better floating the gears and trying to use it more but out of habit double clutch.( guys who ran the truck for 6 years prior to me was very rough on it and i think the syncro is damaged because other truck i float so easily), this is my 99% of the time work truck. I float when im on main roads or high ways, flat areas, and when it just feels right to float. Its funny because the people who say we should float are mad mean to double clutchers lol like their just horrific drivers for double clutching verse floating. Makes me kinda feel like am i not doing it enough or a good enough driver cause i have an easier time with double clutching... but hey i haul 60000lbs into the hills and back all the time into tight moutain roads full of pallets of concrete block and material off loaded into wonkey ass construction sites. 😅

    • @TheAussieRepairGuy
      @TheAussieRepairGuy  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah I can float 4th in this, as it's a 4 speed box, but synchros in 2nd and 3rd get a lot more work, and at 5 tons, this needs a lot of room for rev matching - so I end up double clutching a lot.
      Technically this is 8 speeds, and I have a two speed transfer case.

      In this 5 ton 6x6, it can be a problem to get it into gear without double clutching, as well there is a documented history of gearsticks snapping off. This greatly reduces that chance.

      If you have a gearbox like mine with small and/or worn synchros, double clutching helps the input and output shafts match speeds, meaning they will mesh more easily with less/no help from the sychro ring. Means less gearbox wear, faster shifting, and in some cases allows you to change gears where you otherwise could not. The flywheel in this military vehicle weighs 20kg, it needs some help.

    Never understood what the point of this was, with the clutch disengaged, the transmission is now at a different speed of the engine. To upshift, clutch in and wait for engine to drop to the right rom. To downshift, clutch in and rev match. Why do you need to fo anything else?

    • @TheAussieRepairGuy
      @TheAussieRepairGuy  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      sometimes you don't have the luxury of time, or dead flat roads. in a 5 ton 6x6 , on rough roads, sometimes you gotta downshift in a hurry, or do the same on a steep incline to avoid loosing your momentum.
      In cases like this where it's an ancient 4 speed, the synchros are tiny and really only there in spirit.
      the LT95 boxes in land rovers are well known for snapped gearsticks, and they take a lot of force, even when correctly rev matched. Double clutching on the flat means the gearstick just floats through.
      But most people don't drive old military gear and have gearboxes that haven't made sacrifices in order to deal with the torque generated by this engine.

      Allows input and output shafts to match speeds, reducing the need for synchros to spin up the gears. In big boxes like this eith only 4 speeds, there's a big jump between gears. Done right, you don't even feel the stick move between gears. Offroad, it can be essential when hill climbing or descending extreme terrain.

    Any way guys let me teach you how to drive a manual,
    Step 1. Learn how to drive a automatic car first.
    Step 2. How to start a manual car, push brake and clutch all the way in and start car then put car in neutral.
    Step 3. How to start rolling in 1st gear, push clutch all the way in, put car in 1st, take your foot off the clutch slowly till you feel the car start vibrating, then start tapping the gas and you will be rolling after you start rolling take your foot off the clutch slowly.
    Step 4. How to stop the car, press clutch all the way in put car in nuteral, take your foot off the clutch, and apply brake as needed to syop like you will do in an automatic.
    Step 5. How to change gears, let's say you in 1st you will have to press clutch all the way in then switch the gear to 2nd then slowley take your foot of the clutch to engage the gear, thats what you do to all gears.
    Step 6. How to not roll back, pull hand brake up, and hold it all the way up and hold the lock button in so it does not lock in, put car in 1st and take clutch slowly till you feel the car vibrate then strt tapping the gas and when you feel the car start to pull put the hand brake all the way down but dont leave it, when you make sure you are actually rolling foreward then put the hand brake all the way down and leave it and thats how you dont roll.
    Tip: Learn how to not roll back or at least reduce the roll back in that way.
    Step 7. Another way to not roll back, if you are good in driving a manual, then this shouldnt be hard, put car in 1st and find the biting point put the car into a deeper section of the biting point and very fast take your foot off the brake and give the car gas then quickly but considerably taking your foot off the clutch.
    Note: all the steps i gave are the basics, how well they work with you is based on you, how fast you change the gear is based on you not me or my tips

      clutch all in or all out, not half way. Only time you do it in increments is takeoff, otherwise you will burn it out.
      I'll haev to do a longer video showing how a clutch actually works. However, the idea is to get the input and putput shaft spinning at the same speed, so the synchro ring doesn't have to work so hard to match speeds.
      If you have ever played with lego technic, try meshing two gears while they are moving at different speeds.

      @@connorbaz5980 the general idea of double clutching is to get the flywheel spinning at the same speed as the input shaft. In the case of down shifting you need to spin it up a bit faster as the lower gear will want to be spinning faster.

      Firstly, this is a how-to, not a you-should video.
      this is a 5 ton 6x6 military vehicle with 4 speeds, and a heavy flywheel, and small synchros. double clutching basically helps synchronize input and output so that it shifts more smoothly and faster.
      in a lumbering old thing like this, it helps you get round town faster, or get it into a lower gear for downhill descents.

    @thomasglynn2282 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You don't need to double clutch for upshifting, only for down shifting and the only reason you do it is to get the transmission to spin faster so you can match rpms with the engine. Most full size trucks you don't even have to use the clutch. Mack trucks operators manual even states that once the truck is in motion the clutch is not necessary. You people need to learn how to drive. 😂😂😂😂
