How to drive an automatic like a manual Step 1: you don't

Now try driving a manual like an automatic

You could just leave it in drive, automatic transmissions shift gears for you believe it or not

For that extra kick remember to shift from drive to R for racing 👍🏻

I was waiting for him to slam it in reverse😨

"It's fine to cruise on neutral" Btw, you need a new transmission

How to destroy your transmission 101!

Lady's and gentlemen if your transmission begins to slip that just means it's working

step 1: buy a manual

How to drive an automatic like a manual? It should be more along the lines of, how to smoke the automatic tranny by driving it like manual

"I don't always drive an automatic, but when I do, I shift with my drink..."

It actually works because I was racing too with my automatic truck and it pulls like crazy 💨

my tuner put the tow haul tune on mine it down shifts for you when you're roll racing ,it's awesome

Number 1 thing you should never do in an auto if you can select gears is letting off the gas when changing gear!!! Since there's no clutch petal you don't have the ability to disengage the engine from the drivetrain between gear shifts like you would on a manual, and so the differential between the engine rpm (which has decreased since letting off gas) and the rpm of the transmission (which is still spinning fast) will cause a major upset in the car, and result in what is known as engine braking. The effect is that (especially if revved to redline) you will feel the car's weight jolt forwards and act as if being pulled back from behind, it's like slamming on the brakes between gear changes. Imagine sticking your finger in a spinning fan blade only you have to force it to stay in those blades till they slow down, that's pretty much what's happening to your drivetrain.

I have noticed with most automatics you can shift with the gas pedal.. Stay medium to hard on throttle.. Let off a bit and it will shift. Repeat. Throughout gears.

lol i like how his transmission messed up years after this video but that was cuz of a mechanic

I have a 3 speed automatic in my camaro so I do this all the time to keep the gears stretched to where they should be :3

that truck sounds fucking AMAZING

I've seen some tunes to where the tow haul button is reprogrammed to drop it in which ever gear you want for like a 30 or 40 roll, just so you don't risk missing a shift or dropping it in neutral.

Do this if you want a burnt up transmission

How to drive your automatic like a manual? *don't*

Wow you must win all dem street races in the Mexico

That's cool. I need to try that with my car whenever I get one

QUIT THT SHIT!!! You don't have a manual valve body it's not made To do that....get a reprogramming kit for the trans...if you want this to haul ass ..shift kit,2200ish stall.......and you don't need to let off when you shift it like that...shouldn't to begin with buuut

Closest I've come to actually shifting an automatic has come in two cars I know extremely well. Believe it or not, you can control what gear the engine uses by how you move your throttle. Granted, I'm driving old cars, but they can still be controlled without touching the "shifter"

Just buy a manual

nice truck man! sounds exactly like mine when I have it in 1st.

Title should say "how to fuck up your truck like a dumbass"

I do the same thing esp pulling a trailer, it increases the shift points in the first 3 most important gears so you can gain speed properly when pulling a load or just launching in general, and not have to buy a programmer to increase it for ya!

Or if you keep your rpms low enough and you know what gear you're in, you can rev that gear out right before red lining, hold it and then lay into the gas to feel the shift happen.

i dont know if you have tried this or experienced the same but my truck hits the speed limiter in 2nd gear with a couple hundred rpm left when manual shifting. truck sounds fricken sick man.

automatic trans are pretty quick in modern cars, i think it’s just be smarter to let it shift for you. if you’re racing your truck i’m pretty sure you can’t go from first to second quicker than you’re auto will or you might miss second completely and throw it into the wrong gear

DONT BELIEVE ANY of these dumb videos how to drive a automatic like a manual. its all people trashing there vehicles and they dont know it. just drive it like intended or buy what you want.

I don't believe there is a problem shifting to 1-2-3 in an auto,although i wouldn't do neutral. The main problem is that it's inefficient as regardless the speed you are coasting the torque converter will still be slipping,so mainly the engine will be sort of free wheeling,no advantage of manual shifting unless you manage to keep the engine rpm way down while maintaining the same speed as it will have in drive. Once i get an auto like 4L60,i will surely do it whatsoever.

A good trans tune is enough to beat any of the average manual drivers posting on here about autos.

My understanding is that he's not creating any further performance. The only benefit I can find is maybe he's riding a gear longer or shorter before shifting. Like if he wants to blast through a stop light, it's easier to rev 2nd than shift into 3rd. Which in low gears, is not really a big difference in a daily driver, just making more work for himself. But if he could drop a gear, then he could disappear

Anybody else notice how he didn't gain any speed ?

Dude really knows how to drive a truck lol

I do this when I race my cars but something tells me that method can and will break the trans. It isn't made to do that.

I tell people i have a manual, the shift knob just doesn’t move because it’s the new manual tech where I use my mind.

if you release your foot off the accelerator and push it again, the car will drop down to a lower gear to give better acceleration I am not sure if all automatics are like this but my Zafira 1.8 has a sports mode which does this when I kickdown

The 1 2 3 is for pulling/switching to your gears with more torque.

Don’t let off the gas when shifting manually, you can stay in the gas because it’s like it’s in automatic mode but you tell it when to shift like the 6spd transmissions with button shift.

His radio was going crazy

Dude if you really really what to drive a manual try an Eaton Fuller 18 speed then you can post all you want.

I used to to this all the time in my old car, went throw 4 tranny’s 🤦🏻‍♂️and then I got a Manuel

When you really want a manual truck..

Step one, put it in drive, step two, drive it to the dealer you got it from step three, trade it in for the manual version of your vehicle. done

Sounds so good

Lol, randomly saw this video and I can tell your in good ole Huntsville lol. Eat em up kats

So in the 4L60E there’s a clutch pack that’s called a overrun clutch pack and when you shift manually like this you do get less clutch slippage and more gear engagement but if you keep doing this you’ll ruin your overrun clutch pack I found this out the hard way 😂 but if you want to keep doing so don’t say I didn’t inform you 😂

Why though? Like why in the fuck would you do this? To feel cool or something i guess?? I mean autos past 06 are gunna shift faster and better than a manual for racing, as well as its just easier. And if your doing it to feel like a manual just get a manual theyre cheaper in most cases

My cars got an auto and It has PRND 321 I drive it in 3rd it gives me more power but hurts my gas mileage but I like the more power the faster shifts are nice. 2nd good on hills and 1s good for snow and mud. 1 and 2 are not really driving gears D and 3 are. Every cars different and I didn’t know this until one day I red the manual lol and found out 3rd is actually the best option for fast shifts

does that really work in a race? what kind of mufflers are you running? I got black widow venom and there starting to get annoying too much drowned sound in the cab i got to crack the window a lil just to tolerate it. its a single cab sierra.

Do you still have the factory y pipe on your exhaust or have you changed the factory setup? Do you have on headers?

You look so cool doing whatever you are doing

yea my truck is tuned and I have the tow haul mod. it puts you in the right gear for when you are racing

yup that’s exactly how to drive a manual!

I literally scrolled and one of the recommendations vids caption was “how to replace a transmission “😭

Your truck you can do what you want with it. But if you want better performance “racing” or “launching”. Try and find an aftermarket performance torque converter and get a better tune. Guaranteed you’ll be faster than any manny out there.

Slim Reaper what all did you do to your truck sir I have an 08 Silverado and I want my truck to sound as good as yours!! Please let me know!

what kind of exhaust do you have? really like the sound

i thought the numbers meant it wouldn't go higher than that gear? like for example if it was in 3rd gear (set with 3) it wouldn't go to 4th, only 1 2 and 3 edit: so i just realized that he was using it to shift up "faster", but he also puts it in neutral when stopping, wouldn't it just shift itself down? sorry for the dumb first part lol i wasnt thinking

You're a true squid my boy if you're going to shift like that the one rule is to keep your foot ON the gas while you bump from 1 to 2 or from 3 to 4... keep driving your rig like that you can kiss your trans goodbye in next 20K MAX

Good way to blow it up am i wrong? The increased rpms in 1 2 3 cant be good for it considering those are for increased torque on hills and stuff made fore offroad and low speeds not to mention the wear on the trans?

I do it with my Lincoln markvIII and my Suzuki SX4 NO PROB YOUR A GOOD DRIVER

I have a same truck like yours it’s a 2007 silverado new style, the only problem is that my truck doesn’t appear the 123 shifts, can someone help me why they don’t appear when I put it in manual?

I just watched this video for the second time, and I just realized... thats Huntsville.

I once raced someone who drove his automatic car by using the low gears for shifting... that night he lost control and flipped his car over a curb.

Have any body ever put an LS1 on those new trucks and an old 5 speed manual transmission ?

better hope you never pass neutral and hit reverse haha

How bout them Astro's ! lets gooo lol, fellow houstonian

It's fine to coast in neutral doesn't hurt it. But hitting the brakes in neutral is going to fuck you over in brakes, it burns the crap out of your brakes.

Huh, I didn't know you could drive it like that. So, downshifting would be turning the logic backwards, right? I mean, I'm from Wisconsin, and downshifting is so useful when driving in snowy roads. I used to have a manual, and I used to downshift with my manual. It saved me tons of times from going into the ditch.

this makes your truck faster ha i be dusting 5.7s with my reg cab 2000 chevy ha

I drive my 03 530i like a manual cause when I drive it how it’s intended it makes the scary slipping sound

You forgot to put it in “R” for “Race Mode”

sounds good what is your exhaust setup and is it a 5.3

okay but whats the real reason or the Manual shift gears in a truck.. i thought it was for hills and such?

Do you let off the gas completely or just spightly

idk what you might think but that is super hard on the transmission

I have a 1980 f150 and I shift it manually in the winter.

Him "k say I'm Rollin with a guy and he wants to do a 30"🤣

What would happen if you dont let off thr gas when you shift?

trans temp went from mid 70 to 100+ thats wild

You could just hit the tow haul if it's tuned it'll drop the gear so you don't have to do all that

You literally had it in drive when you said say you’re doing a 30 roll 😂

l love these shifters, so much better than the + and - where is takes a million years to shift. of course full manual would be better, but l don't mind these.

As Long As You Put A Shift Kit And Heavy Duty Clutches Your Trans Will Be Good

You sick man

Just notified ur from Huntsville lol

Oh I get it, this is like one of the car comedians channels. Or your father failed you.

If you want to keep the rpms high in city driving wouldn't you just keep it in 3rd and the automatic trans will do the rest? Can even keep it in 2nd if you want spirited driving. At least that's how my firebird works. It upshifts and downshift automatically when you put it in 3rd or 2nd.

RIP 4L60E , it’s super fun to redline tho hahah

Truck sounds awesome. Do you have an exhaust?

When you wish you had a manual valve body.

Nice truck😁

you will fuck up yours shifting like that that's why it automatic it does it for you

When you want to drive a manual but you don’t know how
