READ THE DESCRIPTION FIRST PLEASE. I am not responsible for anything that happens to your car if you try this. I actually do not recommend doing it but its nice to know.
Many people seem to be getting the wrong idea for this video. I am NOT telling you to not to use your clutch. This video is just to show how to shift without the clutch if the time comes when you need to use this. If your clutch goes out you might need to use this. This technique is potentially hazardous to your car. So if youre going to post a comment about how bad it is and just use the clutch, please dont post a comment. Some people want to know how to do it and that it is possible. I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO DO THIS OR TO NEGLECT YOUR CLUTCH. I KNOW HOW TO SHIFT WITHOUT THE CLUTCH, IT DOES NOT MEAN I DO THIS WITH EVERY SHIFT I DO. IN FACT I HAVENT DONE THIS SINCE I MADE THE VIDEO.
The car is a mini cooper S 2005 with the stock supercharger. Yes the audio is slightly off when i created the video but o well. The cameras i used were a vholdr contourHD 1080p for the rear camera, and 2 canon powershots for the tachometer and feet. This is kinda hard to learn and bad for your car when you mess up so practice at your own risk!

This is actually a real technique called "float shifting". If done properly it only puts very minimal wear on your transmission, and if your clutch goes out while driving but you aren't far from home then it isn't actually a bad idea.

@rebelkassadin 5 жыл бұрын

No, you are a very uninformed and ignorant moron, that's what you are, but as Socrates said, you will never be able to understand this yourself. And change that picture of Einstein you have, it's rather ironic. This technique is USED for some good reasons, for example left-foot braking. Also, if done properly, by someone who understands manual transmission (not you), it will not cause wear on the transmission any more than clutch shifting. Now go fuck yourself, moron.

@@PLCTSD Everybody should learn to shift without the clutch, because shifting without the clutch doesn't put any wear on the clutch or gears or synchromesh. People wear out their cars because they're constantly changing gears without rev matching, but learning to change without a clutch helps with this. Even if you use the clutch, you should be blipping the throttle on downshifts and letting the rpm drop on upshifts.

@Exarhadsgfds 5 жыл бұрын

Just because he says in the description that he doesn't recommend doing this doesn't mean he's not an idiot for suggesting it. All you're doing is forcing the clutch to slip without disengaging and re-engaging it. The amount of needless wear and tear you'll cause on the gearbox depends on how the gearbox is set up. If your gear ratios are really close then you might get away with it by causing minimal slipping and thus a minimal shock to the system when you suddenly change the rpm, but in most cars that is not the case. In most cars the same speed, for example, 30 mph in 3rd might be 2300 rpm while in 4th it might be 1900 rpm. That's a 400 rpm difference that your clutch has to smooth out by slipping. However, because your clutch is engaged while you're shifting and your wheels are trying to spin at the same speed while your engine is trying to spin at a different speed, the syncro in the gearbox is either lagging behind or pushing ahead. Either way it's not properly aligning with the other gears. And you basically use brute force to try and push it into place. Doing this can be disastrous for your gearbox.

It is nice that someone takes time to show you how to do it. Long time ago I had a 4 speed with steel cable actuated clutch. I was driving along one evening on back roads, then the clutch cable broke; clutch pedal all the way to the floor . I had to learn on the spot how to do it. Put the car in second gear, crank it and then shift by matching the road speed with the RPM, and transmission speed to get home. That was a long night. Sold that car, and got me a Jeep YJ, with hydraulic clutch. I thought to myself, how cool that I do not have to put up with the clutch cable failing on me. I was WAY wrong. I was going off-road quite often. Than one day, when I was off-roading, out of the blue I was not able to get the car in/out gears. Jump out of the car and check the hydraulic clutch reservoir. Reservoir was empty; I broke the hydraulic line. Had to grind gears all the way home again.

About a month back, I was crawling a hill in my Jeep when out of no where I lost all clutch pressure (clutch hose pop from incorrect fitting). Thanks to your advice I was able to rev match on my way down the hill and was able to drive home using this technique. Some people might think this video is useless, but it definitely saved me a 20 mile hike.

If you do it right, there is no risk of damaging your synchros. At the right moment, there is no force being applied to the snchros as the internal inertia reaches an equilibrium between acceleration and deceleration stresses. Sort of like throwing a ball in the air. For a moment, the ball hovers as the force of gravity and air resistance reaches an equilibrium with Newtons first law. If you do it wrong, you will hear it immediately. Dont know why everyone is getting defensive. If you don't want to do it, then don't, and have a decent argument other than calling people stupid.

+Chris Quetsch He is right. If you are a competent Driver and know Your car and can cleanly Rev match every gear It will not harm the Syncro's My dad did this for over 450,000 KM in a Old 1982 FJ60 Toyota Landcruiser. (it had a Triple plate Clutch for towing a boat and it was Very heavy to push down) Only Time he EVER Used the Clutch was taking off (in 1st or 2nd -1st rarely needed on Landcruiser) And Downshifting. Otherwise i think he did Hundreds of thousands of gear changes without the clutch. In the end All the car had replaced was a Cylinder Head @ 850,000 KM and normal servicing After the car had done well over 1,655,000 KM before it Met a Tree after Hitting a Kangaroo that ripped Leaf shackle clean off the diff. So to Clarify 1,6 Million KM's 450,000 of those Dry shifting the gearbox was sold (Working Secondhand) Also if done Right Passengers in the car will NOT know you even shifted gears. It's Smoother power transition than if your are using a clutch.

@rupanjanroy7237 8 жыл бұрын

+Chris Quetsch When everyone is saying about Rev matching then you must be knowing that it is impossible to actually achieve perfectly matched revs,and even a minimal amount of RPM difference can cause lot of induced shear stress in the gears,though it might not be visible at the beginning but the impulses generated will eventually shorten the life of the gearbox.

I used to argue about this with the my friend who tunes and builds engines... but I don't grind, And theres no discernable transfer of load the car and transmission are smooth... he says, you're an idiot... you can't mitigate side load completely and synchros are not meant the bare that energy, a clutch has a friction surface 1000s of times larger than a synchro which is why you use it. if you wanna shift without a clutch. run a dog box, which is shitty and loud and grinds and jerks the car around and has to be rebuilt every ten thousand miles.

My dad taught me with my super old car, that you just need to press the stick gently so that it starts rubbing on the synchro, and rev match either up or down to shift, down or up respectively. It just falls into place without gear grinding. However, it probably wears the shit out of the synchro.

Modern cars are mostly automatic but are being made to consume less fuel, but with the cost of a weaker engine. tl;dr a manual will burn an automatic any day

Exactly. It's easier to hit the sweet spot when the rpm's are dropping, because they always drop at the same rate, as opposed to when you're revving up, where you'll not always manage to rev up with the same amount of throttle.

When you demonstrated "taking too long" to grab the next gear, having not ground it going from 2nd to 3rd (@ 2:20) had every bit as much to do with the fact that you were pushing nearly 3,000 rpm, which gave you a bit more leeway when you took a moment longer to drop it into 3rd. However, when you shifted from 3rd down to 4th, you were only doing 2,200-2,300 rpm, which probably doesn't help. :-P Anyway, thanks very much for the informative video, it's appreciated! *thumbs up*

+Dennis Bautembach you can shift without using the clutch on a motorcycle without any problems. Just make sure the engine brake is not active and you arent giving gas... Cars are completely different because the transmission is synchronised. So if you have enough skills (not many required) to shift without the clutch on a motorcycle, you can do it without damaging anything. If you do it with a car, you are definitely going to damage the engine and transmission. The only thing you can do without clutching with a car is, going into neutral while the engine brake isn't active and you arent giving gas, putting in gears wont work...

Another time one can use this technique is in case your left foot is disabled. When a wooden board fell on my left ankle and I couldn't use my left foot, I have to learned this on my way home. Truckers do this shifting all the time due to non-synchronized transmission in their trucks (double clutching is tiresome) which are used for several reasons. The friction material, such as brass, in synchronizers is more prone to wear and breakage than gears, which are forged steel, and the simplicity of the mechanism improves reliability and reduces cost. In the words of one of them: "I never use the clutch unless I'm sittin' at a light and need to shift into gear. I was taught to "float" when I learned how to drive and have owned many trucks with both air shift and two stick transmissions and have "floated" them all with no damage to the gear boxes."

@saladinthedark7459 5 жыл бұрын

A clutch is used to free the transmition from stress so the gears can shift effortlessly. The exact moment you lift off the gas this is exactly what happens in the box. Engine is no more pushing the gears and the car still hasnt started to decelerate so the wheels are not applying preassure to the drive shaft. You can pull out he gear you are in with the slightest of pushes on the stick. Higher gear with same speed means less revs in the engine needed to maintain velocity. As the revs are falling comes a point at which the engine rpm matches the driveshafts rpm when engaged in higher gear. Again the stick slides in effortlessly. The fact that you have a very high chance of wrecking the gearbox in the learning process is another thing. It's a very nice trick to try and learn in a triple digit priced car. If executed perfectly it creates absolutely no preassure or friction.

Common automatic transmission/transaxles are more efficient than manual shifter cars now a days. That's why the auto vs manual MPG statistics are now the other way around opposed to just 10+ years ago. -- and parasitic lost with a DUAL clutch auto is thought of being less, the opposing clutch can only preload the next gear for faster placement. It's strictly to enhance the speed of the shift, but not too convincingly either. Extremely expensive cars have reasons to avoid dual preload clutches including Lambo's recent Aventador. - again up until recent you'd be correct about a flywheel being > a flex plate, but it's just not the same result anymore. Manuals seem to be a choice for drivers looking for the particular experience of stirring through the gears, rev matching, and great control. The bloody auto's are winning the efficiency battle.

I had a new clutch ready to fit, and ended up taking it back to the shop as there was no appreciable wear on the one in the car.
