HOW TO PADDLE SHIFT With These Simple Tips 

have that setup in my car and not familiar with using one ..very well explained and may give it a go at some point

Glad it was helpful!

Good morning Scott, thanks and you as well. Hope the weather is nice down there these days.

Thanks a lot for watching. Hope it helps a bit.

ExoticCar PlayPlace it helped a lot, thank you

@@ECPP so when I downshift - do I brake or keep my foot on gas ?

@@autoperformance503You down shift then hit the brake, in that order

@@autoperformance503foot off the gas when you down shift at high speed because if not you might accidentally red line

@Matt Don't understand people like you lol. You're one of the reason why car community is hated so much, the toxicity you have lol. Are you mad you can't afford your own car? The Stinger was engineered by Albert Biermann whom you probably don't know but was the Former BMW M VP. You can talk all the hate all you want about KIA, but KIA has proven that it's a brand that can compete to today's standards.

Cheers

Glad I could help!

Thank you

I appreciate that! I share al levels of content for different people from different perspectives and knowledge within the performance car genre.

Sounds like a good plan!

Thanks. Is there a particular topic you would like to see?

Please help me im so confused. What rpm do i upshift and what rpm do i downshift? I need a straight answer. This video didn't explain shit

dude watch the video...there aren't rules for what RPM you upshift or downshift at. It depends on what your driving goal is. Just don't use paddle shifters.

I just got one too and I’m trying to figure it out I’m just scared to fuck my car up you know!

Hahah a Corolla 😂 That’s cheap. Get at least a Porsche 911

@@thewiseguy7100 thats the goal buckaroo inwanted a cheap reliable car. I originally had a 2000 acura 3.2 TL. It still runs and all but it was time to upgrade, it was at 242k miles

@@theartst7992 Sorry man I apologize if I came off rude. I just hate seeing these Toyota’s on every corner or Honda’s lol! I started from the bottom too but right now have a 2018 Maserati SQ4. Paid off. Don’t get me wrong Toyota is reliable but there just sloppy. No engine power, no technology etc..

You're welcome

Thanks a lot.

You are very welcome

@@ECPP tell me something. And I know what obvious answer is lol (just buy the correct fit) .. I stumbled upon £100 quid paddle extenders. Mine is the b8.5 Quattro 2013.. but these are 2017 up.. so they'll not fall on. I've had a few ideas how to modify.. but do you think with a bit of surgery to the extenders I can get them to fit perfectly? They were 99p, I got them for £4.20 lol so wouldn't you have too? Cnc'd aluminium. Beautiful. Any good ideas to modify the acceptance plate? I'm thinking paper template and a drimal tip or two. Or modeling kiddy clay, get the exact fitment and modify. What you think? They're on route so I've some concept time before they arrive. Won them last night.

Thanks for liking

Yes for economical and easier driving and no if you are racing. Works either way.

Thank you for watching

Cheers

you can use it wherever if you want, it’s really up to you. it opens your exhaust a little bit more and like he said it holds gears longer

tightens traction as well. shit i’m sure by now you know this 😵

This is such a good question and no one has answered 😭

@@JasmineMartinForeverASaint Thanks Lol, I hardly remember asking this question and now I’m confused on why I asked it 😂. Honestly I don’t ever set in 1st gear cuz there’s really no reason for me to pull off that fast. If I need to get in front of someone, I can do that most of the time without needing to rely on that much speed out the gate anyways 🤷🏾‍♂️. I rather just sit in sports mode and let it do the job gradually lol instead or burning more gas in 1st gear

Hi Kevin, usually that only works in some automated manuals and this being an auto, this does not happen. It is a great feature though and I agree would be great.

Is this a joke? What do people think they do??

Nice

I have the same question. Because I have a genesis coup 2.0t and I badly want to know if I don’t have to shift down cuz I hear from some people that you don’t have to shift down cuz it does it automatically but I haven’t tried cuz I’m scared

@@brandonixchop979 Yeah bro, I figured it out on my own. Basically never down shift as my car automatically down shifts for you when you lower the mph...

Oh you are going to need a good Mechanic with a BMW for sure.

Buy an F Type. JK, or Catless DownPipes will help.

Hi Thomas, it seems many brands do that like BMW, Porsche, Jag, etc. Mclaren is on a rocker level but is also stationary, and my Lambo stays still which feels more right as well. I agree with you and it feels awkard on the street especially when making a long left hand turn in traffic, it leaves you searching for the paddle. With that said, I had checked into this and was told that when a person is typically racing, the 10 and 2 position is held and driving on a racetrack means that a person rarely ever turns that sharp to have to roll over the vertical position and therefore its always on the fingertips. Either way, it seems to take some getting used to especially on the street.

@@ECPP your explanation makes definite sense. And, I suppose, one can adapt to the idiosyncrasies. But it seems counterintuitive to the BMW philosophy of the " ultimate driving machine"; when one can only shift whilst going, relatively, straight ahead. Thank you for the explanation!

I totally agree Thomas. I have always preferred the Italian way on these paddles.

I would recommend slowly down shifting to 1st gear as you get to the stop

I'm wondering the same thing

Jesus Christ do you know how to drive...

Shift before redline

@@ECPP thank you

With these types of transmissions and DCTs I would keep foot planted for best results. With a Lamborghini Gallardo, Aventador and early Ferrari F1s I would lift between shifts as they are single automated so you have to drive them more like a manual.

@@ECPP thanks for the reply. Even for downshifting to overtake?

Somewhat. But with a rotary dial only the steering wheel paddles will work and not the console stock as in the F type

Think of it like riding a bike. It's very difficult tog et going from a standing start if you're in the highest gear, but it's also very difficult to go as fast as you can unless you're in the highest gear. So you switch the gears as you accelerate, steadily trading the torque of low gears for the speed of high gears The lower gears cover a lower range of speeds and the higher gears cover a higher range of speeds, but to go from low speed to high speed you need to accelerate, and because the car will generate much more torque in a low gear, it will accelerate much faster. The RPM of the engine is like your legs spinning the pedals. It's less efficient, but the faster you can spin your legs the more raw power is input into the system. High rpm in a low gear leads to quick acceleration. Then once you've got enough speed you change up a gear, and notice how it doesn't feel sluggish to continue accelerating? That's because the 1st gear has done the hard work getting over the inertia to accelerate up to 2nd gear speeds, then 2nd can continue on to 3rd, like a relay race. To do 60mph in 1st gear you'd have to have an engine that could do some 20,000rpm, but similarly to do 10mph in 6th you'd need an incredibly powerful engine. 1st gear will be enough to run at 20mph without an issue, but the revs will be high - like 4,000+. Changing up to 2nd will drop the revs but that's ok because the car is already moving at 20, so it doesn't need the raw horsepower to keep accelerating, and instead it's better to trade some torque for a faster gear.

Wondering the same thing

Yes foot can stay planted for quickest shifts and it’s not particularly hard on anything.

That’s always been my question. So regardless or up or down shifting foot should be on Rev pedal?

2 pedal car, no clutch

ExoticCar PlayPlace What RPMs are you usually shifting in and do you have to let go of the gas when you’re shifting?

@@toxicmoldmedia he literally said you don’t have to take your foot off the pedal... twice

Did you watch?

Lol, nice

I do sometimes but if racing really only otherwise not necessary since this engine as huge torque

Jaguar F Type R

Yes

Definitely drive to enjoy. I do as well. Remember life is too short to drive boring cars.

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

Why

@@ECPP how do you know when to shift from diff gears while driving…1,2,3,4 or from 4,3,2,1…I don’t learned how to drive a manual car..

It still works well

Thanks for watching. There are some people that understand different degrees of functionality.

@@ECPP That is true, but engine braking can put alot of tension on your transmission. I would prefer to just replace my brake pads rather than transmission components. It's good for emergencies though.

@@raymast4703 Thats true, I do not usr it aggressively routinely.

I'm confused. All I need to know is what rpm to downshift and what rpm to upshift. I need a straight answer. Every tutorial video just shows them doing it without explaining the exact time to do it

@@hatchell18 It depends on where in the rev range your car's powerband lies. The power band is where the car is making peak torque and max horsepower for the range so for example, say your car is turbo charged and your car's torque band is from 1700 rpm to 5500 rpm. That is to say, this car makes peak torque from 1700 rpm to 5500 rpm after which torque starts to drop off. Then you have to see where the car is making good horsepower. Googling a dyno chart for your particular car will show you the curves for both HP and torque, then according to that you can figure out where your powerband is. For example, my car makes peak torque at 1400 rpm and starts to really drop off at around 6000 rpm. The car also makes good horsepower all the way through the rev range, but really comes on at around 3000 rpm and plateaus at about 6000rpm after torque drops off. So I can safely say, my powerband is somewhere around 3000 rpm to 6000 rpm. So, if you want to downshift for more power, you downshift into whatever gear puts you in your powerband. Most of the time, if I'm cruising in 5th gear at say 2000 rpm and I want solid power, I might downshift into 3rd gear putting me up at around 3700 rpm, which is in my powerband, but I have a 6mt. Cars with turbos in them will make torque alot earlier than naturally aspirated cars so the power band of a v8 mustang will probably be later and longer in the rev range. For example, I had a v8 e90 m3 and its powerband was from 3800 rpm to 8000 rpm! In contrast to my OG m2 which is about 3000 rpm to 6000 rpm. Quite a difference, but then very different engine characteristics. Before doing any of this however, you should familiarize yourself with your particular transmission so you dont cause harm to your vehicle. Remember! The point of downshifting is to put you into the powerband for more power and speed. Other reasons like engine braking should only be used for emergencies. Put stress on the brakes, not the transmission. Good luck bro!

Yes because it automatically goes to auto mode but if you wait it out, the car will toggle back to auto
