You're allowed to skip gears by the way. I do this all the time. It's less work on you and less wear on that throw out bearing.

Rev matching my Civic at 3am is basically the only thing that keeps me alive these days

To all the learner drivers about to attempt this, make sure you know what revs/speed are suitable for downshifting 2 down. If you’re going fast enough in 4th and immediately shift down into 2nd, you are going to lose your beloved Corolla

Higher rev match can go straight from 4th to 2nd. You don't need to go through 3rd unnecessarily unless you wanna hear two downshifts and go slower

Don’t think anyone has demonstrated rev matching so simply yet effectively on this platform before

"There's a miata in front that's probably much faster" 💀💀

In the UK in driving lessons we are taught in our driving lessons to skip gears because overall you get less wear and tear than going thru the gears in order. Most cars in the UK are manuals and our lessons and tests are quite comprehensive.

Imagine a world where everyone forgot how to drive stick, then this guy comes along and tells you that you have to shift gears one at a time.

I always find it amusing when people talk about double clutching. Just go from 4 to 2 and rev match. Your car is designed to be able to do that. And you won’t mess up a slower and more complicated double shift. Just know your car, don’t just slam it in 2nd

some kid is gonna try this and blow up his mom's motor trying to drop into 2nd gear at 70mph edit: nobody cares about how long your gears are

I love downshifting from 5th to 3rd for overtaking 😈👊🏻🔝😂

Could you not pump the gas a bit more and rev match from 4th straight to 2nd, skipping 3rd?

Manual guys-"i can shift from 4th to 2nd" This guy- "go from 4 to 3 to 2"

Driving shift for the first time “ik what I’m doing”

I did this on my dirtbike a few times on accident and it freaked me the f out

Thanks all I need is a car now.

I love videos like these that also show the pedal work as well as the shifter

The “drop a gear and disappear “ refers to street bikes. U can most definitely drop gears on a manual trans except cars weren’t built to take that kind of abuse especially if your not (blipping) matching your RPM’s while doing it. Also double clutching is really hard on your clutch pack and pressure plate.

Wat......... Just.... Shift to 2nd. I go from 5th to 2nd on the motorway every day lmao, just rev match to a higher RPM XD

I drop from 5th to 2nd seemlessly. It's all about getting very familiar with your speed to rpm per gear ratio, and you'll learn to downshift from any gear to any other gear with practice

The double downshift is really dependent on your gearing. Most cars if you are cruising in the gear before your overdrive, you won’t have enough rpm in the limiter to drop 2 gears.

Quite a nice walk through, you can skip the gear but your transmission may want to go back into 4th instead of down to 2nd. By using 3rd it lowers the margin of error a bit. 👍🏿much love fellow car peeps

You're going to double clutch from 4/3 seconds when you're trying to slow down at a stop sign

Bro don't know it's possible to skip gears ☠️

Also... Don't do 2 gears down in a 5 speed if your gear ratios are 4.44 in the differentials. You'll get slower immediately and hit the rev limiter.

Its such a satisfying feeling when u do it correctly

Slick. Only learned manual in a car after years of riding bikes and ATVs and never figured this out with my feet.

"Driving Manual is fun but when you're stuck in traffic you only go 1,2,1,2"

Rev matching is still some next level witchcraft to me, but this dude is illuminating the situation so much, I got confidence. Buying a new replacement clutch tonight.

I absolutely love rev matching downshifts, makes for fun driving and sounds badass too.

Me: watching this while I don't owned manual car anymore 🤣

How to drop a gear and disappear That's exactly what Paul walker did lmaoo

I'm impressed I can down shift some what smoothly from 3rd to 2nd and gone, usually it wouldn't let me but now I can

I like this how to videos.. see u at the Shop!!

The only place you are going to get a legitimate class on manual Rev matching is in a class A truck driving school, or a professional racing school. Both take a lot of money so this skill isn't something that people who know how to do it readily like to teach for free. Good job on you man.

Not sure how this would work since if i would rev match to 3rd at about 4-5k rpm then down shift again to 2nd and my rpms would be 7k or higher

“When you do it quickly it looked something like this”. Massive jolt😅

bro my mind can’t comprehend

I remember doing this the first time my father let me drive his hilux i think he wont let me drive now

I like how he keeps his eyes on the road and not the camera when he's talking

Who doesn't love a bit of rev match action!

yoooo the bmw badge is out

Thanks big dawg

Lmaooooo canyon mode 🔥

"Instructions unclear, drop from 5 to 2 going 80 mph"😂

This is amazing information. Thank you

Meanwhile, me in electric car: *STEPS ON ACCELERATION HARDER* Edit: alright so everyone complain that it shouldn't be called gas cause it was an electric car so i change it to Acceleration.

This clip just reminded me of “granny shifting, not double clutching like you should” lmaooo

Funniest thing in the world..quoting a movie that started out making fun of double clutching while simultaneously telling us to double clutch

Drop a ⚙️ & disappear 💨

If my car is already at 6-7k rpm in the fourth gear then down shift into 2nd, I'll get into my mechanic in the fastest way right? Right??

Need a POV like this to show ppl how to do learn how to shift in general

Paul Walker did it like no one else. He dropped a gear and dissapearerd into his dashboard.

now i know what vin diesel meant when he told me that I'm not double clutching like i should

Miata gang 😎

Double Clutching 🙅🏽‍♂️ Triple Granny Downshifting 😄👍🏽

This is dope.. I won’t ever do it but it’s cool as hell

“I just gained 3 miles an hour” 😭idk why this is so funny

If your engine rev is high in 4th gear, don’t do this! Shifting 2 gears down will break your engine

Im still learning to drive manual and i gotta say rev matching is way easier than it sounds. I still have a good amount of trouble accelerating from a stop than i do rev matching.

I use to do what you’re describing in the video but I then graduated into double blipping the gas were I just simply double blip the gas while keeping the clutch in & go from 4th to 2nd let out on the clutch & zoom 😎

Wow!!!!! When you know a kid didn’t learn to shift from a mentor😳 I was so damn confused how to watch it three times to understand what he was doing. You don’t need third gear when you’re dropping down to second🤣

Lesson learned: Miata only needs 2 peddles. Clutch and gas.

I know all this and have used it before but still want to watch these types of videos 😂

I'm glad this man is being roasted for not knowing he could skip gears.

Imagine not skipping gears in 2022

See I flick a paddle in skedaddle

I did that now my motors 2 miles back on the interstate 🤣jp good video

"double clutching" and "rev matching" the only thing those two are good for is putting unnecessary strain on the throw out bearing and friction material, pumping the clutch once and going from 4 to 2 is perfectly fine and a lot more efficient.

Woth rev matching my friend taught me is look at your rpms and know where you want to be put it close where you want and downshift

Just put the gear in neutral when braking and slowing down, depending on the speed when you need to accelerate shift the gear into whatever number your speed is.

Watching people masterfully shifting gears is pretty interesting to me, probably because i have never driven a car with manual transmission.

I've been driving manuals for ever, i would just reg match from 4th to 2nd. Wich makes me curious, is that wrong? Bad for my car? Does that give me less power?

"single clutching like a granny and not double clutching like you should" -DT

I remember the first time I manned up and rev matched on a dirtbike tho, I felt like the man, so smooth and amazing

For the old heads... New Chevys have a shift assist gate that won't let you go from 4th to 2nd without doing this so you don't money shift. Also you can research shift-by-wire which completely defeats the purpose of a manual trans.

6th to R Never let em know your next move 😎

Bro thinkin he's driving a semi with the double clutching, just learn your rpm's and know what hear you want, clutch in rev to the rpm you know the hear needs for the speed you are going release clutch and hammer down

and... just the next video was "how replacement your clutch" what a coïncidence 🤣

Love the Dong Camera angle

🤣🤣🤣 Going through 3rd on a manual in order to get from 4th to 2nd must be the most American thing I have ever seen on a manual car. 🤣

I love these manual tips shorts

Side note, rev matching doesn't work in most new cars because the ecu does it for you when you release the clutch in lower gears. Rev matching can fuck your car up.

Back when I was a kid my dad taught me about a driving mechanic called a dande macouse meaning gear macouse which I do not know what means in English but my point is that if your cruising in gear 4 and you want a little extra boost start accelerating and then drop down 1 or 2 gears and then just go back up once the rev limit has been reached.

"How to drop a gear" Drops 2 gears

Cruising mode to canyon mode. Hahahahahahahaha

Imagine being revved out in 5th, thinking the "drop a gear" rule still applies. You will literally lose all gears, and your pistons might land on the moon

I’m new to manual cars, google says that the higher the gear the faster you go, so how does downshifting (changing to a lower gear) make you go faster?

the thing is... double clutching is recommended but isnt strictly needed, if you watn to bang your gear double clutchiong should be done to avoid burning up your syncros inside the gearbox, but also you dont need to shift from 4th into 3rd and than into 2nd, if you know your car well you can from 4th gear, clutch in, put in neutral and release clutch, rev up to around where 2nd gear would be (hint: way more rpm) and than clutch in again and bang the 2nd gear in, if you did it well the gear should just pop in really easily because both gearwheels should be about equal speed (thus avoiding accesive syncro wear) and therefore go in really easily and than just release the clutch with the high rpm and just floor it and shift like you usually would. some people also recoomend couble clutching when shifting up 1 gear but thats not really neccessary because thats literally how every normal person driving a manual car drives, therefore they were designed for that, its just the downshifting part which wears out alot of parts when you dont revmatch (mainly clutch and syncros) its like on a bike where u just peddal slowly but are relatively fast and than downshifting and needing to first take a few seconds to speed up your legs to so that you can accelarate faster when you shift down, just that its the engine doing that motion and the clutch taking the difference of speed and converting it into wear and heat. i realized that this comment is alot of technical bla bla but basically when downshifting more than one gear try to revmatch xd source: experience from driving a miata... and yes i know and yes its not a joke, just look at my channel and the videos ive posted xD

This confused me even more ;-;

Hahaha teaching me how to shift and you litterally just blowing up your shit with unnecessary shifting. nice rev match bud, try it from 4 to 2

*Tap dances while sitting*: “simple ‘nough”

That shit is the hardest thing to learn! I can’t get it down pack for nothing 😢

Whoa, I was so focused on what he’s saying didn’t realise he’s driving a 350z

I thought reving down only works on downshifting motorcycles.. coooool! Thanks a lot!

I normally go from 4 to 2 but add some extra steps seems fun.

Clutch in, rev twice/rev match while dropping from 4th to 2nd. More efficient and less harsh as others have said.. Sometimes less is more

That only applies to sequential gear boxes... I would just shift down to 2nd from 4th...
