stright cut or "dog engagement" gears, with large teeth spacing in the cog design, allows for clutchless upshifts because the large gap between teeth allows you to basically just bang it into the next gear if done quickly with adequate force.
Can somebody help me understand sometimes when he up shifts it doesn't look like he depresses the clutch, I know it can be done to shift without using the clutch, but do they really be do that in competition?
@@tshlp :D cant you see the lever being pushed when he upshifts? He isnt powershifting and if he did you would hear WUMMMMM every upshift. He is running dogbox so he doesnt need to revmatch when downshifting and can just hammer it...
these gearboxes are unsynchronized you dont have to use the clutch whilst upshifting but in exchange for a faster upshift you have to double clutch to downshift. he just releases the gas, making the gears unloaded of power, so he can safely upshift, you can do the same on motorcyle shifters whilst upshifting, but moto shifters for me kind of resembles sequential shifters, i know they're not but the same movement. up and down
First gear needs to work the clutch, after no clutch needed when upshifting, only when downshifting. Dog box with short gears for rallying. First gear down, then second gear up, H pattern
As someone who knows nothing about rally racing ; What is the purpose of him spamming the gas pedal on and off in 3:11? Is it to find the best optimal speed&grip for that instance?
