    Just back to driving a manual after many years.
    What I have relearned … let the clutch do its work both accelerating and coming back a cog. Learn how to blip in neutral when coming back a gear to accelerate or when coming back a gear where the road speed dictates you needing more revs in the lower gear.
    Other thing I’ve discovered is how few of my fellow drivers make allowances for manual cars in the way the take off from lights … in Australia last year out of nearly a million new cars sold less than 12,000 were manual transmission, the majority of drivers have no manual experience. Automatic cars are far quicker off the mark now than 30 years ago unless you thrash a manual car. I’m also struggling with a gearbox that need to warm up to rake second smoothly …. another tip is to learn how to double clutch going up gears when the gearbox is cold.
    Thanks for these videos, they are magic!

    After coming from years of driving a diesel manual I switched to petrol. Boy did my shifts suffered! Especially shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd! I watched your tacho and you always keep it above 2500 rpm when shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. I being used to diesel engine which has good low end torque shifted gears when tacho hit 1700 to 1800 rpm and the car always juddered! Thanks to you I will try out shifting at higher rpms and see how it goes! I am now used to shifting at half clutch at lower gears and have developed a bad habit!

      Torque makes life so much easier! I occasionally drive a manual truck and they are lovely to take off in because they are hard to stall and need so little throttle to launch.

    going from 30 year old car to a new one i feel like i need to relearn gear sifting. this video really helps me to know what to do and not to do... im not sure with one thing, going downhill i would usually break and change gear to lower one to help with breaking (cant add gas to help with revs), or should i rely more on brakes and less on gear or is it ok for gearbox to catch up with an engine.

    Thanks for this excellent post. By how much should the revs be raised if I wish to change from 4th to 2nd? About 2000 rpm? If we end up revving up a little too much what would happen? I am guessing that when we want to change down when a speed bump is coming up, it would be best to hold the clutch at the bite point instead of adding a little gas. Is that right?

  • @davidriley9194
    @davidriley9194 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    I don’t normally rev above 3000rpm as it’s good for fuel economy depending the car and I’m driving a petrol car, I got into a habit of changing gears quite slowly but not to slow including the clutch release slowly otherwise I’ll be wearing out my clutch. This is just takes so much time to get used to the timing. This video is quite interesting and helpful! Thank you Chris!

      @@worlddriving Chris doesn’t it also consume more fuel when you when you get up to speed when you skip gears? For example (change from 3rd to 5th or 2nd to 4th as long you build enough speed) cos I don’t normally skip gears as I normally change from 1,2,3,4 and then 5th. I’ve tried out a new technique today like you did in the video. Is there any tip you could help me with? I’m always trying to save more fuel as my driving style are quite average. I just enjoy driving so much in my whole life as my car consuming more fuel than usual.

      Add gas before fully releasing the clutch if changing down gears is jerky.

      If changing up is jerky then you can press a little gas before changing or release the clutch slowly before adding gas.
      You might also want to add gas when changing up if you want to drive faster as shown in the video.
