of course you need to downshift but only *when necessary* . Scotty isnt saying that you shouldnt, he just says do it when need be, not just doing it just to keep the revs high at any time. It puts unnecessary wear on the clutch. also, you won't have transmission problems, it will be most likely the clutch disc.

Yep, if you drive them properly a clutch can last hundreds of thousands of miles. Most wear on a clutch is from starting off from a stop and from those who think its cool to downshift through all the gears and skip gears, or take off in 2nd or 3rd gear rather than 1st...that's why the gears are numbered in consecutive order LOL...in some heavy duty trucks you can start in 2nd gear because 1st is actually what they call "granny lo" but your standard little pickup and car you need to use all the gears otherwise you are lugging the engine by skipping gears and causing wear on the clutch as it slips too.

Hi Scotty - awesome video with great information for driving a manual transmission. And yes, techniques used for racing are not applicable to every day driving in a manual transmission. Every now and again, my smart drivers ask me about rev matching and downshifting and I explain to them that race car drivers use these techniques to corner faster, thus maintaining both the equilibrium in the vehicle, and control. But as you stated, this is wears out the engine, the clutch and the transmission. Like you, I advocate for drivers to use the parking brake in both manual and automatic transmission vehicles - every time they park the vehicle! I like your video style...brilliant! All the best, Cheers Rick

If you learn how to rev match and heel-toe properly for downshifting, you're not doing any damage to your car. If it takes you more than a second to be able disengage the clutch on a downshift without the car jerking, you didn't match revs properly. Do it right, and you can disengage the clutch immediately with no jerking, which means you matched the flywheel speed to the clutch disc speed, which means you don't need to slip the clutch for a smooth downshift. Most cars have about a 500 rpm difference between gears, so if you just kick the engine speed up by that amount you'll be around where you need to be for the next lowest gear.

And by asking if they're cheaper, I don't mean how they're built, but what they price for, say compared to French, German, or American cars. Also, I am curious how Toyotas are pricing over there in comparison to English cars, since they're generally cheaper in price over in the States.

I'm a huge fan of standard transmission. I had a 2005 Honda Civic with 295,000 miles on it and still had the original clutch. My mechanic couldn't believe it, but my shifting was as smooth as glass and that's why it lasted so long.

Im glad I've been doing things right. I pretty much never downshift when comming to a stop. No matter how fast im going i just put it in neutral and brake to a stop. My friends always ask why i do that and i say "If the car was meant to be stopped by using engine braking, they wouldnt have put on all those pesky pads and rotors!"

Hey Scotty I had a Nissan Sentra 1996 base 5 Speed Manual. Mine was a cable clutch I gotta say I was 1 of the best cars to drive. Very trustable and I could adjust that clutch if it actually burned out. Atleast I could drive it to a mechanic to have it fixed on :). Oh and it was great on gas mileage too.

@robf93 6 жыл бұрын

If you rev match while downshifting, it's not that hard on the clutch. Clutch wear is relative to the difference in current RPM versus the RPM required to match the gear you want - so minimize that difference and you minimize wear.

@darkest1evil1 6 жыл бұрын

This is what I do usually when I'm approaching a red light, if I'm in 4th gear I downshift and rev match to 3rd, breaking until I stop.

@kant12 6 жыл бұрын

True but it's also minimized by shifting less often so you don't have to match anything in the first place. Which I think was his main point.

@robf93 6 жыл бұрын

Possibly, I think the bigger reason why he raised this point is that if you downshift frequently *without* rev matching your clutch will wear out very quickly. It's a lot easier for the clutch to slow the engine down than speed it up. My point is that rev-matching makes a big difference in mitigating this.

@berengerchristy6256 6 жыл бұрын

yeah with precise rev matching its a literal non issue. I do it sometimes

@jltaco85 6 жыл бұрын

I got use to rev matching, it feels so much better than to just throw it in neutral.
