zach actually that's not entirely true within itself. I have a truck that the shifter actually goes directly inside the transmission and moves the gears around. The transmission actually comes up inside the cab so you can actually see this when you're driving. If you rest your hand on the shifter it will wear out the gears and the forks on the end of the shifter plus it can actually cause the gears to grind together. It's that style transmission where the thought of resting your hand on the shift is bad originally is from. Granted that's one of the first transmission designes that was popular. The idea is still there even with the new ones as it does put extra force on bushings and other parts.

As someone from a country (UK) where most people learn on and drive manual cars, I don’t know anyone who blips the throttle to rev match on downshifts in everyday driving and our roads are not filled with lurching cars. This is a more a technique for performance cars with a narrow power band. The advice on not resting hands and feet on the gear shift and clutch pedals is good. I would add reminding new manual drivers to press both the clutch and brake pedals in an emergency “if in doubt, both feet out”. Also the handbrake (press the button when applying to save ratchet wear) is an intrinsic part of using a manual. It stops the car rolling away when parked but also holds it on hill starts to save juggling between pedals to make a smooth getaway. Many drivers leave the car in gear when parking, first gear on the flat or if facing uphill and reverse if facing downhill. Most new cars won’t start without the clutch pressed fully down but it’s good practice anyway as it reduces strain on the battery. If rolling away is a fear when parking on very steep slopes then turn the wheels into the curb on (towards curb downhill, away from curb uphill).
@BrosFOURRSpeed7 ай бұрын
That's what rev matching is....you have to blip the throttle to get the RPM to match, that's how it's done. Some cars have an auto rev match feature to do that for you, but in a vehicle without that feature, this is how it's done. I agree on the next two points! But the button is there to release the hand brake, it's fine to pull it up, hardly any friction to wear it out.
@mad_scientist55972 ай бұрын
@bobroberts6155 I'm from the Czech Republic and I also don't think most people rev match. But funnily enough I don't know anyone who presses the button on the handbrake when pulling it either. It's so typical to hear the sound of the rachet in any car that stops to park even when just walking by. And yet I have never heard anyone say a word about the ratchet wearing out ever and some people drive decades old cars. I think people count the amount of clicks to judge how much the brake is engaged. I do. Must be a UK thing haha I also think it might be a better idea to teach new drivers that when in doubt, make sure you press the brake pedal first and foremost. I don't think the clutch is paramount in this scenario as it is in normal stops. So what if the engine stalls. Better than crashing because you couldn't find the clutch in time and thought both pedals needed to be pressed at the same time. People who have no idea how their car works even on a basic level are prevalent on the road, and they will believe it when told both pedals have to be pressed at the same time. Sure the engine running could theoretically maybe extend the braking distance a little bit (it shouldn't if one really steps on it) and maybe the engine could cause the wheels to lock up easier in bad adhesion conditions. The risk assessment will vary. Where I live it's mostly dry and not freezing mostly so I think the clutch is unimportant.

In the Netherlands I've been taught (we all pay €2000+ for official driving lessons and exams) to hold the clutch, stay in 1st gear and staying on the brake at stopping lights. Neutral is used for parking with the handbrake. Also no downshifting: you brake as much as you need until you feel the car can't handle it and then use the clutch. Depending on from what speed you want to drive, you shift to the appropriate gear.

@@karamalqussiri6533 Police doesn't watch after that at all. It's taught that way because of the weather conditions for the most part. I have snow for 4 months in a year and basically if you're out of gear in snow/ice you won't ever be able control the spin coz there is no torque available at all. They teach you to stay in gear for as long as possible because a car w/o gear can spin out quite easily under braking, having the clutch engaged equalizes axles and gives you a vector + torque if you ever need it. I can go down to about 15 kph in 4th. That comes from times before ABS and stabilization were common and drivers had to control those aspects themselves. If you don't have assists - good luck braking on ice w/o a spin if you don't know how to do it right.

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I'm from Estonia. When I came to US I laughed my ass off when I wanted to pick a car and in the options they had automatic and PROFESSIONAL. That's all you need to know about stick and culture of driving in the US. Didn't know that like 70% of drivers in Estonia are so highly regarded to be considered professional drivers lmao. We have a special mark on your license if you CAN'T drive stick (if you completed training on auto car only). Check out my comment below too to understand why keeping the car in gear for as long as possible is taught. I'm somewhat sure you're in a snowless state. Also, the tips you've done are for a big part applicable to US stick cars which are usually either an old unbreakable brick you really can't do anything to or it's a performance car and then your tips are applicable. Rev matching is so unnecessary in a 80 bhp car, the clutch will always outlive the engine (coz it's some sort of a 1.2L with variable angle turbo lol), I can do shifts up and down w/o the clutch at all, but why bother if I'm not in a race, just ease off the clutch slowly lol. Resting the hand is ok because manufacturers long know of this habit and usually the weight is held by a supportive structure and not the mechanism of the gearbox or the actual rod that moves the gears is not directly connected with the shift stick at all.

So I agree with one and two. Point 3, you're right on keeping your foot off the clutch unless you're about to use it but there's little to no harm in keeping your hand on the shifter except that it's not otherwise on the wheel. Sure there's some greater than zero chance you could inadvertently throw your trans out of gear but a gear selector is a type of toggle mechanism. That means it takes a lot of movement up top to get a much smaller movement down in the guts of the transmission below. If you aren't jerking your hand around while your hand is on the shifter, you're not going to hurt anything. Is it a good practice to keep your hand off it? Sure, but it's not the end of the world if you don't. There are much worse things you can do. The way I see it, as long as you don't ride the hell out of the clutch when you're starting from a stop, don't attempt to shift without the clutch and you make some attempt at rev matching, you'll probably be fine.

@mad_scientist55972 ай бұрын
To be fair I started rev matching right after getting my licence in my car that has no rev counter, and I can do it fairly well. I think it's advantageous for me and my car in particular and when done properly, it minimizes wear on the whole drive train, hence dual clutch automatics do it. But I agree that most people with most cars will get away with no rev matching for all of their lives. We drive mostly manuals here and I don't know almost anybody who rev matches. I'd wager it's mostly car enthusiasts and older people who are used to old trucks and/or tractors with unsynchronized gearboxes. Rev matching improperly could on the flip side likely increase wear of everything and I doubt most regular mortals will bother mastering it. The other tips are far more important.

I should add, pretty basic but mostly overlooked: when parking, let the vehicle "rest" on the E-brake, not on the gearbox... Park, engage the clutch, shift to 1st, turn the wheels a against the sidewalk , enage the e-brake, turn off the car and let go off the clutch once the RPMs are down to 0.
@BrosFOURRSpeed3 жыл бұрын
Yeah that is a good way to park even on flat ground to let the e-brake take most of the weight.

Tip number 6 when you are racing already going in 5th gear but need extra speed put car into "performance, sport mode etc" then hit the "R" shift. Reverse goes away during sport mode so hit that "R" after 5th when u need the boost and leave anyone in the dust

TL;DW 1. Don't use clutch to hold yourself on a hill instead of brakes 2. At red lights or long stops, Use Neutral and brake instead of holding clutch pedal 3. Don't rest hand on Shifter, or foot on clutch 4. Rev-match when downshifting. 5. Leave car in 1st gear or Reverse when parked. Bonus: Excessive wear leads to premature wear

Most newer manual cars have hill holding assistance when starting off on a hill. My base model 2012 Chevy Sonic LS has it, but I learned long ago how to start off without rolling back. Let the clutch out partly before releasing the brakes and rev a bit while fully engaging the clutch. Don't over rev, to limit clutch slippage and wear. Modern electronics, idle control, can eliminate the need to rev at all. Throw-out bearing is actually the weakest point. If it gets too hot the grease will thin and flow out, so don't stay on it longer than necessary. I usually park in neutral with the parking brake, to prevent accidental movement on startup. Need good rear brakes for this. Exception is when parking on steep hills; uphill in first, downhill in reverse. For longevity, no jackrabbit starts. Hard on the clutch, but CV joints will probably fail first.
@BrosFOURRSpeed Жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing! I always park in gear, the cars I’ve owned have to have the clutch in to start up and push in clutch, put to neutral and start up! Prevents movement.

You just saved the new driver of a stick many years and many dollars if they pay attention to what you said.Actually you can drive a standard shift without even using the clutch just by rev matching,I drove a 13 speed big rig for years and hardly ever used the clutch,You need a good ear and feel to do it without tearing up the gears it saved a lot of wear and tear on left leg.
@BrosFOURRSpeed6 жыл бұрын
Thanks. On my motorcycle and dirt bike, its pretty easy to shift without using the clutch. I've only tried a few times in the car. Pretty easy to do, but it takes more concentration
@mrjohhhnnnyyy57976 жыл бұрын
That is because the bikes and big rigs have so-called "dog boxes". Doing clutchless shifts on a synchromesh transmission is more tricky. In the dog boxes, there's play between the dogs which allows you to shift without precise rev matching; in the synchromesh trannies you don't have that and doing it wrong will put excessive wear on your synchros.

Remember if you’re driving a dodgy car and feel unsafe parking on a hill, If downhill, place the vehicle in the reverse gear before applying handbrake, 1st for facing uphill. Turn the front wheels towards the kerb, this will prevent the vehicle from rolling into traffic if the brake becomes disengaged, hopefully stopping itself on the kerb

I only learned to drive a manual recently, and I always park with just handbreak but in neutral. Is it really important to put it in 1st or reverse?
@RealCoolGuy5 жыл бұрын
@@RacecarsAndRicefish My brother does that. I usually do the opposite which is leave it in gear and do not pull the parking brake unless I'm on an incline. The reason I always place it in gear is because years ago I pulled the parking brake on a car of mine on an inclined driveway leaving it in neutral and it rolled down the driveway with the parking brake engaged. Bad brakes or whatever, it scared the crap out of me so from that point I've ALWAYS parked in gear.
@cowboy43785 жыл бұрын
@@RacecarsAndRicefish you can do that yeah but sometimes (on older cars usually) the handbrake cannot hold the car. By leaving it in 1st that locks the wheels meaning that it is harder for the car to role away. Btw remember to take it out of gear before starting the engine again because sometimes i start it and the let out the clutch, if i did that in 1st it would obviously stall the car.

All of these points you made are true, however the actual wear is minimal on some points you stated. Eg: like holding in clutch pedal and keeping in first gear and also resting hand on shifter. Although I don’t do either, it’s not really doing the extent of the damage you seem to be portraying
