The practice of double-clutching helps you change gears by ensuring that the input and output shafts are running at the same or very close speeds.

@TheAussieRepairGuy 8 ай бұрын

5 ton 6x6 military vehicle, with lots of play in the clutch. not quite the same as your sporty little nissan. In this, the syncros are small, and it just won't go into gear without a little help. around town, you don't always have time or room to rev match. on steep climbs with a load on it can be up to 6.5 ton, you absolutely need to blip on the downshift to avoid coming to a dead stop.

I having been driving for 2 years now with a 13 speed freightliner and tend to use a mixer of double and floating (depends on load and grade) i double clutch more often then not because it just much more fluid for me and the way i was taught so 100% comfotable habit. I know my engine and can just shift when i know its time, I have been getting better floating the gears and trying to use it more but out of habit double clutch.( guys who ran the truck for 6 years prior to me was very rough on it and i think the syncro is damaged because other truck i float so easily), this is my 99% of the time work truck. I float when im on main roads or high ways, flat areas, and when it just feels right to float. Its funny because the people who say we should float are mad mean to double clutchers lol like their just horrific drivers for double clutching verse floating. Makes me kinda feel like am i not doing it enough or a good enough driver cause i have an easier time with double clutching... but hey i haul 60000lbs into the hills and back all the time into tight moutain roads full of pallets of concrete block and material off loaded into wonkey ass construction sites. 😅

Yeah I can float 4th in this, as it's a 4 speed box, but synchros in 2nd and 3rd get a lot more work, and at 5 tons, this needs a lot of room for rev matching - so I end up double clutching a lot. Technically this is 8 speeds, and I have a two speed transfer case.

@TheAussieRepairGuy 11 ай бұрын

If you have a gearbox like mine with small and/or worn synchros, double clutching helps the input and output shafts match speeds, meaning they will mesh more easily with less/no help from the sychro ring. Means less gearbox wear, faster shifting, and in some cases allows you to change gears where you otherwise could not. The flywheel in this military vehicle weighs 20kg, it needs some help.

Never understood what the point of this was, with the clutch disengaged, the transmission is now at a different speed of the engine. To upshift, clutch in and wait for engine to drop to the right rom. To downshift, clutch in and rev match. Why do you need to fo anything else?

@TheAussieRepairGuy 2 ай бұрын

sometimes you don't have the luxury of time, or dead flat roads. in a 5 ton 6x6 , on rough roads, sometimes you gotta downshift in a hurry, or do the same on a steep incline to avoid loosing your momentum. In cases like this where it's an ancient 4 speed, the synchros are tiny and really only there in spirit. the LT95 boxes in land rovers are well known for snapped gearsticks, and they take a lot of force, even when correctly rev matched. Double clutching on the flat means the gearstick just floats through. But most people don't drive old military gear and have gearboxes that haven't made sacrifices in order to deal with the torque generated by this engine. kzfaq.infow-WnvUpkxLI

clutch all in or all out, not half way. Only time you do it in increments is takeoff, otherwise you will burn it out. I'll haev to do a longer video showing how a clutch actually works. However, the idea is to get the input and putput shaft spinning at the same speed, so the synchro ring doesn't have to work so hard to match speeds. If you have ever played with lego technic, try meshing two gears while they are moving at different speeds.

@@psychnstatstutor when double clutching up in gears (eg: 2nd to 3rd) lift up and down quickly, so that the clutch plate touches briefly, and then change into gears without delay. when changing down gears (eg: 4th to 3rd) do the same, but rev a little while the clutch is out. every vehicle has a different feel and speed to do this at. clutch wear plays a big part, in my vehicle the clutch takes 30kg to depress - as it's a 5 ton military vehicle, and things have to happen slowly. in a "normal" car all of this happens much more quickly. smaller cars have better synchros usually, and if you hare having issues changing up gears, it might simply be that you aren't accelerating enough before changing up. basically - just send it... as you get more confident with a manual you will tend to be a little more aggressive with acceleration, and you will find things will change more smoothly. if it's a second hand vehicle - change or get the gearbox oil changed, sometimes adding a little teflon additive line nulon smooth-shift can help.

Any way guys let me teach you how to drive a manual, Step 1. Learn how to drive a automatic car first. Step 2. How to start a manual car, push brake and clutch all the way in and start car then put car in neutral. Step 3. How to start rolling in 1st gear, push clutch all the way in, put car in 1st, take your foot off the clutch slowly till you feel the car start vibrating, then start tapping the gas and you will be rolling after you start rolling take your foot off the clutch slowly. Step 4. How to stop the car, press clutch all the way in put car in nuteral, take your foot off the clutch, and apply brake as needed to syop like you will do in an automatic. Step 5. How to change gears, let's say you in 1st you will have to press clutch all the way in then switch the gear to 2nd then slowley take your foot of the clutch to engage the gear, thats what you do to all gears. Step 6. How to not roll back, pull hand brake up, and hold it all the way up and hold the lock button in so it does not lock in, put car in 1st and take clutch slowly till you feel the car vibrate then strt tapping the gas and when you feel the car start to pull put the hand brake all the way down but dont leave it, when you make sure you are actually rolling foreward then put the hand brake all the way down and leave it and thats how you dont roll. Tip: Learn how to not roll back or at least reduce the roll back in that way. Step 7. Another way to not roll back, if you are good in driving a manual, then this shouldnt be hard, put car in 1st and find the biting point put the car into a deeper section of the biting point and very fast take your foot off the brake and give the car gas then quickly but considerably taking your foot off the clutch. Note: all the steps i gave are the basics, how well they work with you is based on you, how fast you change the gear is based on you not me or my tips

@@TheAussieRepairGuy ahh, I understand what you're saying. In theory. I double clutch all the time going up, and sometimes going down - but never tried to rev match on a double clutch downshift. Definitely give it a try tomorrow. Got a few good low-traveled roads around me. I'm trying to learn all the good old ways of driving. Sick of autos TBH. I'm a Truck Driver (with an automatic restriction, ew) and I'm getting back OTR soon here. Looking to improve my shifting and get that license restriction removed so I can sign on with a company just down the way from me. They drive all old Pete's with 13 - 18 SPD Eaton's, so I got a lot of catching up to do. I got recommended to them by a mutual acquaintance, but I'm not quite there yet.

@TheAussieRepairGuy 3 ай бұрын

Allows input and output shafts to match speeds, reducing the need for synchros to spin up the gears. In big boxes like this eith only 4 speeds, there's a big jump between gears. Done right, you don't even feel the stick move between gears. Offroad, it can be essential when hill climbing or descending extreme terrain. See the pinned comment for more

You don't need to double clutch for upshifting, only for down shifting and the only reason you do it is to get the transmission to spin faster so you can match rpms with the engine. Most full size trucks you don't even have to use the clutch. Mack trucks operators manual even states that once the truck is in motion the clutch is not necessary.

In small gearboxes with good synchros, it's largely unneccesary. in bigger heavy military vehicles like mine, with only 4 gears - it's essential. basically it helps you match the speeds of the input and output shafts so that it glides into gear properly. crash gearboxes worked the same way.
