This video is nice for modern make up but doesn’t actually explain the core mechanics. This video from 1930s feels more appropriate th-cam.com/video/JOLtS4VUcvQ/w-d-xo.html
When my father started playing up with computers you probably had not been born yet. He would have been 72 this year. What world do you think you live in?
One of the biggest things that always mystified me about changing gears was how they managed to do so without grinding against each other until they engage. It’s brilliant.
@pyropulse and rev-match. And shift quickly because otherwise, you WILL grind, as you will never perfectly match up the rpm's. You make up for the rest by just throwing the gears together quickly so they don't have time to grind.
18 wheelers don't have synchronizes in them. You have to double clutch them to shit. the more experienced ones can do it without the clutch just by matching engine speed. You can actually do it in a regular transmission as well. As long as you match the engine speed to the shaft rotation, the gears will be able to slip together. It's one reason why you hear a big rig rev up when they are downshifting gears. The lower gear needs a higher engine speed.
@@Motorsheep I agree. But its called "double clutch" as mentioned. "Rev matching" as i understand is (engage clutch, put it in a lower gear, tap the throttle to match the engine rpm to the gearbox rpm and release the clutch, and you've managed to downshift without putting strain on the clutch and the whole drivetrain, and a much smoother ride also, but its only possible to do it in that order that i mentioned in a synchromesh gear config. I use that type of "rev match" and engine breaking daily in my car which obviously has a synchromesh gearbox(even the reverse gear has synchros on my car as i guess most modern cars have)
@@SjP_92 you are right. Rev matching is part of the double clutching technique. Press clutch, go to neutral, release clutch. On upshift, wait a short moment, on downshift, bump the throttle. Both are done in order to match the speeds of the "entry" and "exit" shafts in the transmission. Sorry, I don't know the correct English terminology. Then you press the clutch again and engage the next gear. If you match the revs well, you theoretically don't need to clutch to engage the gear, and you can also disengage without the clutch by just lifting off the throttle when accelerating or bumping it a little when slowing down. The moment when the drivetrain switches between acceleration and deceleration, there's no load and that lets you disengage the gear. But it reduces wear on the gears if you do use the clutch. My daily is a rigid box truck with a synchromesh box and I also double clutch often, mostly on the downshifts, because, in the resistance of the shifter, you do feel the momentum of the big gearbox and how much work the snychro rings have to do if you don't rev-match. Downshifts are less of a problem because the rpms on the engine side of the transmission drop anyway as soon as you press the clutch. Sorry if I'm preaching to the choir here, you might of course know all this. Rev matching without double clutching reduced wear only on the clutch, though, since engine rpm has no influence on the rest of the drivetrain when the clutch is disengaged.
@@SjP_92 again sorry of i come across as a smartass here. I assume you know most if not all of this. Writing it mostly for the benefit of everyone else.
Wow. I can’t tell how many videos I’ve watched over the years trying to really understand how a manual transmission works and none of them was ever able to do what this video did in 6 minutes. Excellent!
I am studying mechanical engineering first year. I have been almost crying over the book "Mechanics of Machines" that was printed in 1980 and I couldnt understand its animations. A thank you isnt enough...
Yeah somehow we pay for schools but they cant afford to give us new books so we understand that better. But usually if the teacher explains it well you should get it with no issues.
I've seen numerous videos on how a transmission changes gears, but this is the first which actually explains how the synchro works. Finally - a greater understanding - thank you.
Been into cars my whole life but never really understood how manuals worked mechanically despite knowing what each part “did” from a driving perspective. Watched this twice and now I think I get it, thank you so much for making it so clear and concise.
It's funny how I watched tens of these videos and looks at diagrams and never "got it" until I watched the video. The secret for me was the sliding gear selector, this is what seemed missing from most other videos. Good job!
zdrux ya, I watched about 10 of these videos, but I did not understand it until I watched the details in this video about the synchronizer ring and hub...that was the most helpful.
FINALLY, I get it!. Thank you for explaining the standard transmission. I could never understand how you can shift gears that are constantly meshed. I also saw how synchros can wear out. Thank you for this eureka moment.
Such a complex principle and he made it so easy to understand, I love cars and I’ve been trying to learn more about them in my spare time and no channel can teach you about them better than this one! I love it!
This is the clearest animation and description of a manual transmission I have ever seen, particularly the operation of the locking sleeve and the synchronizer. Very good.
Thats are people how care how the World works around them and Ryl want to do theyre own usefull Stuff and some of dont even care about life like you know it. Theyre Working the complet day on they're project becouse the simply life for the stuff they do. There are many of them that will Improve or Destroy your World made or replace your Job.^^
What a great video. I’ve watched other tutorials on manual transmissions and have never quite grasped it...until watching this one. I own a 10 wheeler dump truck and that has a 10 spd trans, so after watching this I can understand what is meant by the 10 spd not having the synchronizers...I have to match engine rpms and truck momentum in order to shift smoothly.
@@ArtemLokhovitskiy Once you get used to it it's really fun. Especially when you start getting good enough to switch/ float gears without having to use the clutch or watch the RPMs.
@@BillyJack85 old Soviet cars had synchronizers but they were not that great and sometimes people even rebuilt transmissions without synchros at all to save money, lol. So... In those cars it was actually possible to shift without clutch what many commercial drivers did back then to prevent clutch assembly from rapid degradation and save money on maintenance that way. My family had Moskvitch 412 and Vaz 2101 at some points and I drove them doing just that sometimes when the car was empty (no big loads). Fun indeed :) But not having synchronizers at all and that on heavy equipment that you have to drive on rough surface? And it's 10 speed??? I am not sure about that. Some truck drivers nowadays hate driving manual trucks thought the mountains because it's a major pain in the ass and I totally agree with them :) and felt bad every time I used to send them down that route when I was a dispatcher.
@@ArtemLokhovitskiy Yea I don't know whether mine had synchronizers or not to be honest. I was always good at driving but I never understood much about mechanics or transmissions... even after watching this video I don't feel any closer to understanding. .. but I drove a few 70s-80ish Mack dump trucks and a newer model Peterbuilt for a few years in my early 20s, and after I got used to them a little bit I found I could float the gears pretty easily & smoothly when I up-shifted just by listening to how the motor sounded when I revved it. I seem to remember it being a little trickier on the down-shift, but then I got pretty good at floating it in neutral when I was coasting or coming up on traffic and just slipping it back into the right gear by judging the speed and revving the motor again. It almost got to be like playing an instrument or something. It was oddly enjoyable to not have to barely use the clutch at all except for starting and stopping. It used to be a hassle having to double clutch every time you wanted to change gears in the beginning when I first started driving. I don't think I ever drove an automatic truck before... except a nice new water truck my company rented one time for a job... but it was for dust control on an underground utilities job site so I didn't have to worry about treacherous mountain roads or driving too fast. Driving through them steep mountain passes has always seemed sketchy to me tho, on a manual or an automatic, especially when you see those safety pull-off roads for trucks that have lost their breaks, so I'm glad I never had to do that.
Brilliant explanation... Finally the question "How gears gets changed without any wear and tear in their teeth at such a high speeds?" got answered... Thanks a ton... The animation was flawless and really appreciated for your hard work to explain each bit of such a mechanism which I think even the books/lecturers can't make me understand.
Ninja Rider I think you will find that a Direct drive Transmission (with proper final drive ratio differential ,, as is now spec'ed in Many Class 6-8 trucks gets much better MPG than overdrive tranys under load
I've been seemingly hunting for this info my entire life, and here it is just so perfectly packaged (seriously this week alone I've asked three people and googled it two separate times and got unsatisfactory answers)
It was insanely helpful. My lecturer just rushes through the book reading and explaining without any interest. This is literally what I needed. Thank you Sir.
For the first time in my life, I actually get how automatics and manuals work even though the clutch is still a bit tricky. Since I was a kid, I'd wanted to know how gearboxes work, wiki was useless so thanks for this video!
It's hard to find "informational" videos that have actual information and aren't just 20 minutes of click bait... this one is solidly informative. Thank you!
Getting ready to sleep, randomly opening TH-cam and suddenly an extremely informative, visually easy to understand video appears. And after 6 minutes I feel like I learned a lot. Wonders of tech. Satisfied!
Been driving manuals for ever, so I must have missed the part about how the clutch interacts with the shifting, but enjoyed the explanation of the process....thank you!
I wish that ever video had the demonstration at 1:30. For some reason, videos normally miss out the path of the power but this was awesome. Thank you for making a clear, precise video.
Wow. For years I have been trying to figure out how it worked. Like I knew the basic principle, but I've never seen it explained and shown like this. Awesome.
It is such a beautifully made animation that explains so many things very clearly. I loved the last part where it is explained why you cannot put the reverse gear while the car is in forward motion. Excellent.
And in reality some manual transmissions even have a synchronized reverse gear. The Mazda M5OD transmission had this feature. Which I must say is very nice.
Brilliant. That is it. The first video that made me understand the working principle of manual transmission. The culprit for me to figure it out was the "loose connection" and "connector".
After watching this video I am going to appreciate my 1988 toyota corolla gts more! No more quick shift/quick downshift, but more controlled and slowed shift for me! Idk how long the gears will last with the way I have been driving it tehehe
+1 I was gonna say something similar about my 1992 E36. I've been abusing the car too much in 10 years i have had it. Gotta make it last as long as i can appreciate it.
From @3:30 on to @4:45 is the bit about syncromesh, which is what I am here for. Really, really good, by far the clearest and best explanation of this system I’ve heard or seen. First, the ‘need’ is explained, then the ‘black box’ bit, where a hypothetical solution is shown (we know not what, at this time), then finally the actual implementation. First-rate. I can point my daughter to this, and she’s going to understand why her little car isn’t able to change gear when moving, but perfectly happy to engage any gear, when sat still. Take care all.
I'm a sophomore mechanical engineering student... sooooo does that mean I'm a god in training? If so, can I put that on my resume? And use you as reference?
Will Kenly I didn't say engineers were gods, I said engineers were "closest" to god. You are not even an engineer yet, so you are a on the path of the truth and righteousness. :)
+Pogo M Not really, all you need to know is the clutch disconnects power from the engine and is used to change gears. Most drivers wont know how trasmission really works
Bro the voice makes it feel like a lecture however, the rest of the video is amazing it was real easy to talk and it avoided any unnecessary information. Thank you for making this It's time to fix the transmission in my grandpa's old truck.
5:17 "A fifth gear is used to turn the output shaft at a higher speed than the input shaft." I've driven a stick for 34 years, and today I learned why fifth gear is called "overdrive"!
The best explanation of the manual gearbox I have come across. What I noticed is that most of the youtube videos skip small sections which later on turn into complexity for a person who watches the video to learn. liked and subscribed.
Believe it or not, it is now easier for me to drive a manual car cause I know what the clutch does and hence when to press it accurately. Before this, I had just sort of memorised it as rules. 1) Clutch before changing gear 2) Clutch whilst breaking etc
I chose to learn MT when i wanted Hyundai Tiburon. I learned the day i bought the car. Im now in a Veloster and still MT. Love it especially when driving in Texas hill country.
Damn engineering is the greatest art. Can't imagine there was a person who invented these masterpieces without any visualization, except that in his brain.
Ah! Now I know why my truck's manual transmission will, at times, emit a noticeable "clunk" noise when engaging into reverse gear . . . and at other times when it won't engage the first time, I put the shift lever back to neutral, work the clutch pedal, then attempt to engage reverse gear for a second time.
I completely respect to all the people who prefers "automatic" vehicle, however I Love manual. Not only it controls the speed per the driver's wish rather it gives a man-power with a pinch of attitude!
manual transmission is the fastest. thats why racers don't use automatic transmission. you can brake very late and remain at a higher gear to slow down quickly and then shift down instead of shifting according to the revs like an automatic does, bcos if you shift down quickly that generates more torque which jolts you forward instead of slowing you down. manual transmission help achieve the quickest way around a race track.

I watched video about transmission in the past. But none of them explain it as good as yours. Thank you for video
The 5th gear is called overdrive. It reduces engine RPM which results in better fuel economy and less engine wear.
Ninja Rider Good point :)
and nowadays in a 6 speed, the 6 is the overdrive, and 5th has become a sort of 4th gear.
***** automatic 8 gear robot is more difficult.

LMAO
Same here haha
I thought x2 was the maximum play speed
3x playback speed might be too fast for your brain. try 2.5x or 2x
OH MY GOODNESS I FINALLY GOT IT! FINALLY! THANK YOU, BEAUTIFUL KIND SOULS! bless you and your families
Thank you
Ya thank you
Perfect, very well explained, this is the type of channels that must be supported. Knowledge is Power.
definitely the best video on how the manual transmission works. thankyou
my brain cannot comprehend this type of information...
The Husky Family he is talking in mechanical engineering language for me it is very easy
I can explain it better and I’m 11...
Just watch it multiple times... I've watched about 5 times and I now know how it all works.
@@terencedsouza2885 Not like it is very complicated anyway
As you grow up, your ability to focus will improve.Watch this video some couple years later and im sure you will understand better.
After watching this video I am going to appreciate my 1988 toyota corolla gts more! No more quick shift/quick downshift, but more controlled and slowed shift for me! Idk how long the gears will last with the way I have been driving it tehehe
+1 I was gonna say something similar about my 1992 E36. I've been abusing the car too much in 10 years i have had it. Gotta make it last as long as i can appreciate it.
Same here. This video totally changed my mentality about gear shifting haha
From @3:30 on to @4:45 is the bit about syncromesh, which is what I am here for. Really, really good, by far the clearest and best explanation of this system I’ve heard or seen. First, the ‘need’ is explained, then the ‘black box’ bit, where a hypothetical solution is shown (we know not what, at this time), then finally the actual implementation. First-rate. I can point my daughter to this, and she’s going to understand why her little car isn’t able to change gear when moving, but perfectly happy to engage any gear, when sat still. Take care all.
I love the way you described all specially the sleeve.
So simple yet so affective. Without this mechanism all vehicles would be useless. Sometimes I think that engineers are the closest people to God.
I'm a sophomore mechanical engineering student... sooooo does that mean I'm a god in training? If so, can I put that on my resume? And use you as reference?
Will Kenly I didn't say engineers were gods, I said engineers were "closest" to god. You are not even an engineer yet, so you are a on the path of the truth and righteousness. :)
TheScienceofnature you
Sooooooooo basically I'm baby Jesus?
Unless you grow up to be Isambard Kingdom Brunel, no you are not baby Jesus.
Thank you for learning the fun part of driving a car. Hope you don't lose out..
In 2024, I just found this video and it’s exactly what I needed to understand how a manual transmission works. Thank you. 👏👏👏
This was a very good explanation coupled with an equally brilliant animation
Super, zakon, vrh !!!
Najbolji prikaz !!!
The best !!!
this should be mandatory knowledge to drive stick. actually, at all
+Pogo M Not really, all you need to know is the clutch disconnects power from the engine and is used to change gears. Most drivers wont know how trasmission really works
in the UK almost everyone drives manual
+Pogo M its good to know but in north america almost no one does just cuz most cars have automatic transmitions.
+Alex Wolf I know I hate it
in my country, to obtain a full licence you learn in manual
Bro the voice makes it feel like a lecture however, the rest of the video is amazing it was real easy to talk and it avoided any unnecessary information. Thank you for making this
It's time to fix the transmission in my grandpa's old truck.
I love the animations and everything became clear, I used to be very confused about the reverse gear but I FINALY undertand how it works, thank you
It must've been a real engineering headache to design the first gear shifter.
Or just a ideia
hahaha i agree with u
True
Imagine how many gears they probably cold welded together
For some reason watching this video made me feel really calm :)
This video makes the topic really easy. It was a great illustration, but need couple of times to understand and admire it completely.
5:17 "A fifth gear is used to turn the output shaft at a higher speed than the input shaft." I've driven a stick for 34 years, and today I learned why fifth gear is called "overdrive"!
5:48 is the most important part of the video. Never shift into reverse unless fully stopped.
But I need to put it in race mode to go faster on the highway
Amazing! I recommend watching their other video “how clutch works” to understand how power is disconnected from the shaft gear.

ماشاللله قحطاني هنا وتعرف انقليزي ماشاالله
The best explanation of the manual gearbox I have come across. What I noticed is that most of the youtube videos skip small sections which later on turn into complexity for a person who watches the video to learn. liked and subscribed.
I have known this from a book, but need to come back here to make sure there are clearances between speed gears and the output shaft.
Wow your efforts get 20 million views
Congratulations
loved washing this video xD 5:59
For real salute to the guy that made this.Needs to keep making more videos.Defininatly needs to make videos like this
for a living
Believe it or not, it is now easier for me to drive a manual car cause I know what the clutch does and hence when to press it accurately.
Before this, I had just sort of memorised it as rules.
1) Clutch before changing gear
2) Clutch whilst breaking etc
In America it seems like automatic is the most popular, but there is still some of us stick drivers left!
There's plenty of sticks in the US. Many have them in their garages tied up in sports cars, not the daily drivers.
USA is not the only country in the world. Manu places still have a majority of manual cars.
Thanks for that razor sharp analysis.
I chose to learn MT when i wanted Hyundai Tiburon. I learned the day i bought the car. Im now in a Veloster and still MT. Love it especially when driving in Texas hill country.
I daily a manual car, 1990 mustang coupe.
This is very well done. Thank you for the great explanation.
Damn engineering is the greatest art. Can't imagine there was a person who invented these masterpieces without any visualization, except that in his brain.
thank you for this great educational content, for years I wonder how it works I now can say I have an idea of how it works.🤙
Uiiui
Ah! Now I know why my truck's manual transmission will, at times, emit a noticeable "clunk" noise when engaging into reverse gear . . . and at other times when it won't engage the first time, I put the shift lever back to neutral, work the clutch pedal, then attempt to engage reverse gear for a second time.
yeah. Come to think of it, that happens to me too. I never noticed that is was only reverse, but it is.

Gosh do I love manual transmissions
I now finally understand how the manual gearbox works. big ups to the team
Thank you for making this video
So that's why my gearbox snorts at me every time I try to engage reverse gear while moving.
***** Exactly, you got the point !
Thanks so much for the excellent videos and production! :)
*****
It wastes too much time coming to a complete stop before engaging gears, but now I know to do it when engaging reverse gear.

Yeah. £612 to be precise, but that cost was because the input shaft bearing failed a few months ago.
Thanks to you, now I finally understand the manual transmission.
Simply simple and clear explanation. No one unuseful word has been used.
This video is oddly satisfying.
wait you til watch the evenly satisfying one!
This is a lot easier to understand than the automatic transmission
Its probably because automatic has more machinery so us humans dont have to shift gears.
Headed Pumpkin yep
I completely respect to all the people who prefers "automatic" vehicle, however I Love manual. Not only it controls the speed per the driver's wish rather it gives a man-power with a pinch of attitude!
manual transmission is the fastest. thats why racers don't use automatic transmission. you can brake very late and remain at a higher gear to slow down quickly and then shift down instead of shifting according to the revs like an automatic does, bcos if you shift down quickly that generates more torque which jolts you forward instead of slowing you down. manual transmission help achieve the quickest way around a race track.
