I been driving an automatic for three years now having trouble as well with the manual

This reminds me of what my father used to tell me when I first started out. He said always start off learning with a manual if you can do that by the time you grab an automatic, it will be easier for you. I’m glad I took his advise and he was able to teach me. 🙏 thank god for those who have the knowledge and ability to teach.

Aint nothing to it, So long as you are in the right ballpark rpm to ground speed you can downshift it's just a matter of how much gas you need to give it, If you are going slow enough to need just a tiny bit of gas and itll slip in, if you are going pretty quick you need quite a bit of gas to get it in but it will go in itll just go in on the high side of the rpms. I downshift off speed not my rpm personally, My truck is a 9 speed so 40-50 I can downshift from 9 to 8, 30-40 8 to 7, 20-30 7 to 6. Takes a ton of throttle to get it to go in at the higher end of those speeds, takes no throttle or a tiny bit of throttle to get it in at the lower end of those speeds. If you have the speeds right you can downshift without any fuel at all, Next time you are coming to a stop hold the shifter against 2nd or 3rd and watch as you slow down and you get to the right speed it will slide into that gear without any pedal work at all (at least my truck will) some trucks might be slightly different but if you have the right speed you will get it.

@@towtruckaj thanks, yeah it took me a bit to get back into the habit of needing to shift. I generally run at night so I was able to teach myself will and won’t do. Floating is soooo much easier, I wish they taught it in school

@@moshpitinc2404 Floating is most definitely easier and more forgiving in most circumstances, When double clutching you don't get the same feedback as floating.

@@towtruckaj absolutely, it’s so much nicer. Took a bit of practice to get it down

Good stuff.

Big Facts!!!

You have to double clutch or you'll fail your drive test

@@marcojimenez3797 I did double clutch. Tested Friday. Nailed the test.

@@ubuntu4fun good shit i got mine last thursday

I floated the gears the whole time during my drive and still passed my exam lol. The guy was cool as hell though.

@@Billy-hx3zi nice man i had some strict ass ladys cause i went more than once on my parallel parking she ran to eachside ti make sure i didnt hit any cones

You welcome

Appreciated 🙏🏽

Awesome stuff!!

hell yea man I got my CDL Oct ,2021 n had nothing but autos now I got a port job with manual 💯

Dats what’s up 👏🏽

How you do?

At least if shifting gets fussy for a specific gear double clutching will save the day! :)

Thanks for watching

Welcome

Appreciated 💯

Which part of double clutching is worse for you? Up or downshifting?

@@michaeld3919 According to my instructor, my downshifting is good no problem. Upshifting is where I am finding trouble due to the timing.

Yes ask if you can float the gears but remember make sure you’re competent in doing so. Stay confident💯

What speed transmission will you be taken the test in?

@@FaroutTruckin how do you lower gears for going up hill

This is my issue too!

Yes 👍

Ease off the gas, shift and back on the gas.

You’re welcome

!!!??

You can use clutch also.

@@FaroutTruckin thank you

Depress the clutch and stop completely; nothing will happen once you depress the clutch.

@@FaroutTruckin oh ok thank you I forgot almost everything about stick shift.

Ease off the throttle, your shifter comes out of gear then upshift before going back on the throttle.
