I drive a 1l and use block changes routinely, arguably it's more necessary as I need to use the full rev range for sufficient power in some situations. Pulling out from stopped in a side road into a 30, with a fairly small gap? First gear all the way up to 30, then 4th and I'm cruising. 30 road becomes 60? Drop from 4th to 2nd, power up to the limit, then straight up to 5th. Same applies for slip roads into a 70, I'm usually holding 2nd up to 60, 3rd up to the limit, to 5th. Trying to go sequentially up the gears would just be too slow there.
@@somerandomguywastaken This is a 107 (same as a C1 or Aygo), the gearing is fairly long and the engine goes up to 6.5k revs, peak power at 6. 1st gear redlines at 35, 2nd at 65, 3rd (theoretically) somewhere above 90. 3k revs in 5th at 60 is about the same as mine, a little engine really does need those revs to maintain that speed.
I skip gears in a 1.2, no complaints it saves a lot of wear and fuel too.

dual clutch autoimatics, at least the DSG variant, happily skip gears when you floor it, to get the right revs in the right gear at the right speed for the power you request with your throttle pedal. It's in the transmission mapping.
Automatics have had gear skipping capabilities since 1995 when mercedes benz debuted the 5gtronic. Nearly all 6 and higher gear automatics can skip gears, including from 6th to 2nd.
You sure can go from 6th to 3rd in a dual clutch car or other variations of gear changes. My I30N DCT did it, more aggressively with N grin shift and in N mode. My 2017 A45 did it. And my current A45S does it. Anyway, good video as per.
try holding the steering wheel properly for a start, then learn to steer correctly, you should by able to rest your wrist on top of the wheel easily...this gets you into a more upright position ( seat at 27 degrees reclined max).
FIRST. cant ever say i wasnt a day one 😤 Mick Uploads, i learn. Btw Mick I'm looking to get a Porsche Boxster, but a lot of the ones that are very local are manuals, and all of the ones that are outside of my given area are automatics. Could you do a video on getting over the fear of going to a manual? Because I learned on the automatic, but like a manual just seems scary to me.
I’ve got my license about 4 months ago and started learning manual right away and I gotta tell you, with the right amount of effort and patience it’ll become easy and smooth in a couple months. Also, making sure to understand how and why certain things in manual work the way they do through Mick’s videos as well as others is key to master it. Go for it!
The main issue with learning to drive as such is learning how to do things in your own time and not be pressured by other people. You would have learned to do this already when learning how to drive an automatic. The main thing to keep in mind with manual is not to bother trying to get moving quickly when you are just starting out. Build the skill up and you should have a stress free job when learning it.
I recently realized that I rarely upshift to 2nd. I usually skip to 3rd and whenever I'm in 2nd it's because I downshifted. Don't really know why I do that, but it just seemed curious to me
Change from the gear you are in to the gear you can SEE you need. Driven like that all my life, taught by the police. You are driving not stirring a pudding. Revs are of course fundamental.
Is it better to double clutch in these scenarios? My car (Civic Type R) feels like it doesn’t really like skipping gears but going into neutral for a second while the revs fall before going into the higher gear (for example, skipping from 2nd to 6th and going into neutral in between) feels a lot smoother in the transmission
I have a question: Is it better (in a manual car) to downshift through every single gear or put the gearbox in neutral when u emergency brake? Also, I love the POV driving videos❤
Technically, heel toe downshifting as far low in the gears while applying maximum brake pressure is the best thing you can do in an emergency stop. That being said, it is nearly impossible, you'd have to practice so much to be able to this. I think you'd be a racecar driver at that point. Relastically, I would just brake as hard as I can and then clutch before my car stops. I wouldnt worry too much about pushing the clutch in these situations. I'd rather stop and stall then remember to push the clutch in but my brake pressure was off.
Braking and gear changing are separate functions. Brake first then change gear, direct to the one you need. Emergency? Brake, both hands on wheel, depress clutch only to prevent engine from stalling.
Wrong info, but you do need to rev match....avoiding jerkiness, keeping things smooth. A gear change should be impercepible, only a change in engine note.
Not at all. But you need to rev match well. However, going from 6th to 1st will destroy more than the gearbox - but if your synchromesh is good, it shouldn't allow you to do that unless you Really push it.
I will subscribe you when you start showing your foot angle of cluch, break and accelerator. Without that it is pointless to understand how rev match is done.
Skipping multiple gears on downshift is hard, UNLESS you have a car equipped with an automatic rev-match. Such automatic systems are extremely useful for a quick overtake, because they allow quick and smooth downshift to 2nd or 3rd.

You forgot to cover going from 6th to reverse
You mean from 5th to race mode🧐
@@KaanG-k7tdone it 👍
Hahaha
😂
I could smell this comment from the thumbnail 😂
This guy is actually class. As a first-time manual owner, his videos are really well-made and helpful.
Quck throttle-blips to rev match downshift is probably my favourite part about driving a manual
I live in Morocco where most cars are diesel powered, i use this technique mostly and skipping gears is so so effective even with small displacements

True, the 8 gear box in my Peugeot skips gears. It rarely fails to anticipate which gear is needed either.
If I hold paddle shifter in my automatic, and give it the beans my car will down shift to the lowest gear it can, often skipping a gear.
Still not a manual bowyy
@@Nazy101 I got your boy right here. I’m saying an automatic can skip gears.
Right but less precision and throttle modulation and some times you want to skip gears without flooring it and without clicking the paddle 3 times
@@CakesAndCandlesj59 maybe I’m explaining it wrong. One hold of the paddle down shifts to the lowest safe gear. Not clicking three times. Oh well..

Hey, man i really lovee your car interior, do you know any cars that have a similar looking interior?
MAN I LOVE WHAT YOU DO!!! KEEP DOING THIS IT JUST MADE ME A WAY BETTER DRIVER TYSM

please make a video on how to drive uphill in traffic
Thank you so much for your videos, they are really helpfull!
3:22 I think the ZF8 gearbox in my BMW does skip gears making it more fuel efficient too and very good for casual cruising driving
in some cars w paddles you can skip a gear by double tapping the paddle

Dual Clutch automatics can do that too tho.

yes you can do that I do that from 6th to 4th
in your case make sure the revs dont fall too low otherwise your clutch will have to bring the revs up
@@Ace-um3hb I use auto rev match so it doesn’t matter
Just put it in the selected gear and then lift the clutch when the revs drop to where you want them
There should always be a brief pause in neutral when changing gears...allows the gearbox to catch up, keeps things in a straight line.
Just came directly from the other vid!
The connecting rods will bear additional wear at the crank shaft end while skipping the gears.
Not if you rev match.

Hey Mick, what do you think about the hyundai i30n (manual)
Koenigsegg LST can jump gears. Its crazy 🤯
Every modern car (2000+ automatics and manuals, dct) can skip gears. Good video but disinformational on automatics.
Isn's skipping gears dangerous for yor clutch and gear box? I heard few tims that it is much safer not to skip gears and do it one by one.
Wrong info, but you do need to rev match....avoiding jerkiness, keeping things smooth.
A gear change should be impercepible, only a change in engine note.
3:40, you've blasphemed 😢
2:16 its not. Unless you go down hill i tried in my 1.6 N/A
2008 Opel Astra
*if you want to accelerate all time but 3-5 it works it's difrent to all cars
Clutch in change gear clutch out
Doesn't downshifting 2 or more gears damage the gearbox on the car? Or vice versa
Not at all. But you need to rev match well. However, going from 6th to 1st will destroy more than the gearbox - but if your synchromesh is good, it shouldn't allow you to do that unless you Really push it.
@@Chrisallengallery perfect, then I will definitely incorporate this into my driving
I do double clutch when I downshift for aggressive overtake. This may not harm the synchros..
No, done correctly it saves wear, keeps the transmission in straight line, avoids jerkiness, keeps the engine at the optimum revs.
have you considered about being a qualified driving instructor? so there will be more good drivers on the road!!!!
You ain't even allowed to rev match on the driving test, proper driving and test driving are very different
@@harrykearney5908yeah as an American watching UK driving VS driving tests I wonder why they never revmatch on tests
@@harrykearney5908 you're not?

I skipped the video because GM wanted me to skip shift.
Good stuff mate, Subscribe everyone!
Automatics can ABSOLUTELY skip gears, not sure what you're on about
First
Skipping multiple gears on downshift is hard, UNLESS you have a car equipped with an automatic rev-match. Such automatic systems are extremely useful for a quick overtake, because they allow quick and smooth downshift to 2nd or 3rd.
Or you just understand your car rpms and rev match yourself
If you think automatics are better than manuals...why did you sell one for the latter?
