How To Downshift And Rev Match Perfectly Every Time! *FASTER* 

Maybe I missed it but I didn't see you break during your downshifts. I am practicing but I find that I rev match too high and the car lurches forward a bit.

liked. very good explanation. sadly im in a car where it doesnt show the rpm xd but im gonna get it with practice im sure :D

What's different about this technique I saw on a different channel? clutch in, put gear in neutral, release clutch, rev match, clutch in, downshift It is a little different but more into depth can anyone tell me what of these two is "better" for the car?

@@rockntrollrp it doesn't require a tac if you have practice. I honestly learned it in a diesel, with its tac on the left like far off in the left. With practice your right leg does everything automatically, but it is safer to have a tac if you feel that the blip was wrong

thanks now i got it🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Thank you for this, this guy did not specify the exact steps I was confused for 5 minutes

thanks for saving me 7 minutes

@@ImOothman haha np

@@kolespiczka7967 np bro :)

when you push in the clutch the transmission goes into neutral so it can be brought back when the clutch is released into the gear you just upshifted/downshifted into. when you put the gear in neutral the transmission stays in neutral. hope that makes sense.

Same

​@wiktoor Haha give it to him

@@itzfraggle9620 can't argue with the stupid

@@itzfraggle9620 Pressing the clutch in does not put the car in neutral. When you press the clutch in all you're doing is disengaging the clutch, but if the shifter is still in gear (in this guy's case, 4th) then technically he is in 4th gear but with the clutch depressed, not in neutral. Now if he had actually moved the shifter from 4th to neutral, then it would be correct to say that he's in neutral, because like OP (Original Poster or Eddie3074 in this case) I was also confused when he said neutral, only to find out that he meant depressing the clutch but still in gear. There's a huge difference between having the clutch depressed in gear and the shifter actually being in the neutral position, which is in the center where you can wiggle the shifter left and right. I could further prove this by touching on the topic of double clutching on downshifts. Double clutch downshifting is done when a vehicle has an unsynchronized transmission, bad synchros or the driver just wants to put less wear on their synchros. In order to double clutch downshift, you'd need to do the following: let's say we're downshifting from 4th to 3rd. What you do is you push the clutch in, take it out of 4th and into neutral, release clutch and blip the throttle. After blipping, you push the clutch in again, put it into 3rd and release clutch accordingly. Now you've downshifted using the double clutch method. We know why it's done so the question is how does double clutching differ from single clutching? Well, when you have the clutch depressed the engine is disconnected from the transmission (hence the reason why pushing the clutch in means you're disengaging it). When the car is in neutral (shifter in the neutral position) with the clutch engaged (released) the engine is connected to the transmission, which allows you to have influence over the speed of the gears. In neutral with the clutch engaged (released), you can manually match the speed of the gears yourself with the accelerator pedal, which is essentially what double clutching is. In unsynchronized transmissions there are no synchronizers in the transmission that will match the speeds for you, hence the reason why you'd have to double clutch them. Bad synchros won't be able to do their job so you'd have to double clutch those too. So moral of the story, you cannot say that having the clutch depressed in gear is neutral. It is not the same as being in neutral where the shifter is actually in the neutral position. They are two extremely different things.

WUMMMMMM

a extra tricky to boot , but very satisfying when you do it perfectly

Haha you go get 'em!

Or.....maybe just enjoy the beautiful sounds you get to experience from your own front yard? Not everyone gets to see and hear a gorgeous Audi A4 everyday.

Proper tuning

to someone who doesnt drive a manual it sounds like you're revving your engine at them

I can relate, specially if your car looks sporty or fast. LOL

Coz that's fucking stupid if you're slowing down anyway. Downshifting like this is for when you want to drop a gear to get acceleration, it's absolutely pointless if you're slowing down

@@xani666 If you don’t want to wear down your brakes all day I don’t see how it can be pointless. Also for the mere fact, say you’re a competition driver, it keeps you 100% in your power band throughout the course. Or perhaps you need to slow down from a reasonable high speed (light traffic, stop light you anticipate to turn green), and don’t want to bog out the engine in 5-6-7th gear when it’s time to accelerate. Or quite possibly, for the simple fact that it’s fun, and you purposely bought a manual transmission vehicle because you enjoy driving the car, rather than the car driving you. I dunno

@@Thegoldencar10 😂 let people be boring with their cars 😂

Trash 😂😂😂😂

fuck all the automatic cunts

@@artemisfowl9002 relax yall ain't that special

I'm a dual-clutch guy personally (yeah, weird, right?)

Karen’s with cvts lmao

same here! Just got my license about a week ago and am driving a manual Jeep Wrangler. Any tips for me?

@@andrewobrien658 learn the grip point in YOUR clutch. It's different in every car. While stopped put the car in first, hold the clutch in all the way and slowly let it out until the car starts rolling forward, that's your grip point and your idle speed, just like automatics slowly roll forward by letting off the brake. It comes in handy in slow moving traffic and while stopped at a red light while facing uphill, helps you not to roll backwards. 👍

Stephen, that's a cool car. I used to have a 1986 Nissan 300zx. Maroon. Loved it. What year and color is yours?

Same, my german driving instructor even taught me this because he was chilled af and I asked him how to shift down without making the car jump around

Damn, your dad need to give you better lessons lol

Where you going from 5th to second or something LOL

@@seandsicko.1028 Was just starting off so it’s possible 💀

@@viril6554bro don’t even worry I’ve been there too 💀 I shifted from 3rd to 2nd and almost broke my back

Thanks for this explanation. My only concept of downshifting was from automatic cars with paddle shifters or manual cars driving on a track so I never even thought about skipping gears when downshifting.

Why would you want to downshift multiple gears to be able to pass someone under normal circumstances? What exactly does 'power band' mean in your answer? The only instance I can think If your car is lagging (not enough torque on the wheels), especially if on an uphill road, rev matching and downshifting one gear to gain enough torque to keep the car from stalling and keep the wheel running for overtake is valid. But if you're already inside the normal speed range for your gear, what usefulness could downshifting serve? Sure, by downshifting you gain torque, but to pass someone you primarily need SPEED (basically more spins on the wheel), and on lower gear the engine rpm needs to be much higher to spin the wheels the same number of times compared to the higher gear your engine was previously on, so in terms of speed you don't gain anything. I'm asking because I've used downshifting to overtake someone in quite a few instances, but still not sure how much purpose it actually served if my car wasn't lagging in the first place.

@@EvilSapphireR it's to help with acceleration. My car doesn't have power and torque below 4800rpm and 7800rpm. In 6th gear going at 40mph, I'm below 2000rpm so if I need to pass, I would down shift from 6th into 3rd gear.

Just plop the gas lol..... I got a 6 speed and I always and I mean ALWAYS revmatch when I downshift, greatest feeling of all time 🙏🏽🙏🏽

This is obviously to drive very fast, not for everyday use, but your pontos IS valid for beginer drivers

@@caioaugusto3138 I love pontos!

i learned “manual” on a bike before getting my 99 mustang 5 speed and i agree with you.

Do it and be safe!

Nice! Finally driving like a man

You'll never want to go back. It makes driving fun every time.

Also, always having your car's power at your disposal. Rev match downshift from 3rd to 2nd as you're rounding a corner - once turn is complete, you're in a power band versus the poor technique of making the turn in 3rd gear, whether riding or not riding the clutch.

For some reason I can't hit them smooth every time. Any tips on stopping me from over-or underreving?

@@oke1343 practice more, its all about better feeling

veteran truck drives also slip shift which is a completely different ball game in terms of skill and experience required.

Same thing happens to me when i overshoot the revs and release the clutch - and i'm driving a Mazda 3 with 2.0 petrol engine lol. I think the key here is to release the clutch only when the revs start going down

Haha this is exactly what happens in my small 1000 cc petrol driven hatchback as well, so definitely not a diesel/heavy vehicle problem. This is the one thing that prevents me from rev matching if there's a car close in front of me as well, I'm afraid my car will jump forward and rear end it. Any tips to sort this out other than to just keep practising to understand the sweet spot where you should let go of the clutch?
