Gotta admit, I lug my engine way more often than I'd like to admit. But more often than not, this is the result of either hesitation (read: Me not properly anticipating a situation) or confusion (read: Anticipated A, but B happened and I did not expect it), at which point I'm too focussed on safety and figuring out what other's are doing, than taking the right gear.
those tools will make sense when I upload the video regarding the removal of the dash on the HONDA ACCORD ... and how I spent 2 weeks finding out why it did not start :)
Most of the time i think that i "slip" the clutch to move the car from stop in 1st gear, this is correct? and or stops by traffic lights. My car have no eletronic systems and is really strong to not do that while it is in the 1st gear. I discovered if i up to 3.000rpm i can change between gears more smoothly but i believe that this is much how the car was made for. I think that old sports cars have no choice between casual and sport mode like modern ones. I want to hear your opinion and have some help and more hints about that, i worry about this!
@ on the STI i believe you are running some sport clutch. also that car is asking to be revved especially if you have a nice sport exhaust ... For some reason I would say just enjoy it and don't overthink the clutch thing... there is no point in driving that car like a family saloon.
for some reason I would think that a big truck is hard to lugg .... it should have a lot of torque ... or where there is a will there is a way ? can it be done on the big trucks ?
One question I have: When I drive my Toyota Corolla 1.8L Petrol ZZE122R Manual, I find myself shifting (while driving, not from a standstill) without pressing the clutch in completely, I press it in 70-80%. Is this bad practise? I ride motorcycles a lot and of course theyre different, but being wet clutches you can to pull the clutch in 5-10% and achieve a very smooth, non-harmful shift. I have probably brought that habit over to my manual car driving. I am interested to know
I know what you refer to on the motorcycle. I also find myself doing it, but because on my bike there is no hydraulic system in between, I am able to feel de mechanical disconnect. also you can feel in the shifter when it wants to go in the next gear. All good for bikes. Now for cars you need o press the clutch 100%. More than likely you have a hydraulic actuator + a self adjusting pressure plate. all of which disconnect you from the actual mechanics ... and the best course of action is to press it fully. You don't have any way of knowing that you disconnected it enough and also not the same flexibility in slipping the clutch as on the bike. And at the end ... this is all theory ...
3:23 I thought that bad habits lead to late nights endin' alone
and conversations with a stranger I barely know
What happens in Vegas ... stays in Vegas. Is the stranger a beautiful girl?
Great video, i definitely learned something as a new driver. Thank you man :)
glad I could help. do you have any specific topics that you would like to see in the future?

I used to drive an 18 tonna, no point in lugging... Unless you want attention, a hooter is better darling lol ossifer 😂

What did I miss ?? Is the Automatic better ?
