I cringed a little (a lot actually) when he said that 😖 its alright though..I was already prepared and cringed out by the opening statement "this is quite possibly the most insane manual transmission ever developed"
Agreed. Not everyone wants to have a computer shift for them. Plus when they break down (hopefully after 200k+ miles)there's alot less parts with a manual trans to repair. Clutches can last 250k and still grab a gear
I’m like manual? They do away with owners manuals now? Sheesh. What’s next no spare tires. Airless tires. A 7 speed tranny labeled 6 and C? Or new diesels being less reliable then old ones.
"Crappy" old school granny gear? When I put a 4 speed granny box in my K5 Blazer. I went to one of the many super steep blocks in San Francisco. Locked the front hubs, put transfer case in "4-low". Shifted into Low, which it in those 4 speeds it says low-1-2-3. Pointed the K5 down hill? Jumped out of the truck, and began to walk. Yes, I had to keep stopping to let the K5 catch up to me? In idle! Vrrruh-Vrrruh-Vrrruh, is what it sounds like.
Do you want to know the most insane manual transmission I've ever seen? It's from a Brazilian truck named FNM D11000. It has a normal gear lever and a second lever on the dash panel to change between low and high gears. You change gears by putting the first lever in the normal first gear and placing the second lever down (1st low), then clutch and only the second lever up (1st high) Then (I saw people using both hands at the same time to do this) first lever to the second gear and the second lever down at the same time (2nd low) then clutch and second lever up (2nd high) You have 4 low gears and 4 high gears, crossing between the two levers to make the combination of 8 gears. Sorry if my explanation wasn't good, but I was fascinated when I first saw that.
Right! As soon as I saw the first thing, I said is it looks like the muncie SM465 that came in my 1972 C10. Bullet proof transmission. Something tells me the new updated Ford version is nowhere near as tough with those extra three gears crammed in the case. Something tells me they’re gears are no where as stout.
My cummins is the same way, 2nd gear is actually 1st. I was teaching a chick how to drive a manual in it and I told her, just start in 2nd, she put it in 4th and just let out the clutch and the damn thing went
Yeah, in 23 or 22, at the Utah Auto Expo, I was _pleasantly ASTOUNDED_ to see that Ford, of all companies, is still making MANUAL vehicles for the USA market! I wanted to test-drive it so badly but it wasn't in the TD line-up. (Only Honda puts manuals in their auto-show test-drive lineup, and of course I drove one of those at the 2019 show, but sadly they haven't been back since covid.) And my local Ford stores don't have a manual one for me to do my $50 It Pays to Test Drive test so far. Hopefully next year! It ain't dead in the USA _just_ yet, bro!
Damn thats really cool. But Im surprised to see how similar everything looks to my 2016 focus ST. That whole shifter and boot and the lockout, the center console area.
@@daniele8484 Some of them are automated manual transmissions now, but they have been actual manual transmissions for decades, used in the trucking industry.
Both ford and chevy had transmissions with a L then 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. My 89 bronco had a T180 tranny with L, 1, 2, 3..... With a 6 in life and 35s, we would drop it into L and get out and push when it was stuck Not crazy, you just never grew up with manuals hahahaha
My 72 Chevy had what we called a granny gear and a high and low range as did most 4WD trucks, so it’s nothing to get excited about. The problem with that transmission is that you are always shifting. It would really suck in traffic or stop lights. I bet you would need to shift that transmission on the highway. Hope you have a strong left leg.
My 1980 Chevy C30 has this. It’s labeled L for Low Range, it’s not synchronized with the rest of the gears. It’s not a new feature, trucks have had this for quite some time. But everything that’s old is new again I guess.
exactly, there even were instances where the very absolutely same transmission in the past had for example 5 gears in 1 car by 4 and a crawling gear in another, it is just marketing, so just move in 2nd
I think his point is that you lose a ratio by doing that, I.E if you have a 6 speed, you suddenly only have 5 speeds. The _smart_ thing Ford did is to have a 7 speed box. With six normal ratios for normal driving, and one extra-low ratio for when you need it. The _clever_ thing Ford did was to lock it out with reverse so it feels like a normal 6 speed in day-to-day operation.
well, they are still doing cause it works, obviously... i am not saying it does not, i am just saying that it is just something to make you feel better as the customer, and it works
@@walterwallace1328yeah newer cars can't start without clutch even in neutral. The car probably don't know if it's in gear and thus it is safety hazard
Dear video creator person, I liked your “ground breaking” transmission video a lot. Later that day my mind was truly blown again when I blew on my fingers and “discovered” the wind….
Protip: most of the trucks with a granny gear had it labeled L for low, so you ended up with an L-1-2-3 pattern. It wasn't until near the end of those that they were relabeled 1-2-3-4. You were never meant to use the granny gear unless you were offroad or hauling a very heavy load, hence why it was unsynchronized. It was not meant to be used in day to day driving.
The Fiat truck that I used to drive also had a pull-up reverse gear. It was crappy and many times the hinge got loose with all the pulling and you can’t even get into normal gear.
This is the most easily impressed guy on Earth.

this would be the type of guy to review an old 18 wheeler and do a separate tiktok for each gear
Oh gosh don’t get this guy started on a 18 speed Eaton 🤣🤣
americans discover gear. so funny and cute
Lmao 🤣 top comment 👍
Lol
C for crazyGear
You know, gotta give it to Ford for actually providing a manual to the consumer
Agreed. Not everyone wants to have a computer shift for them. Plus when they break down (hopefully after 200k+ miles)there's alot less parts with a manual trans to repair. Clutches can last 250k and still grab a gear
@@youngboyharless9769 the bronco wont last that long
I’m like manual? They do away with owners manuals now? Sheesh. What’s next no spare tires. Airless tires. A 7 speed tranny labeled 6 and C? Or new diesels being less reliable then old ones.
@@duramaxdad Nostradamus over here ⬆️ 😂
Yeah, awesome they got that. If you only could get the car. My Ford dealer tells me 10k upcharge and 2+ years wait time…
"Crappy" old school granny gear? When I put a 4 speed granny box in my K5 Blazer. I went to one of the many super steep blocks in San Francisco. Locked the front hubs, put transfer case in "4-low". Shifted into Low, which it in those 4 speeds it says low-1-2-3. Pointed the K5 down hill? Jumped out of the truck, and began to walk. Yes, I had to keep stopping to let the K5 catch up to me? In idle! Vrrruh-Vrrruh-Vrrruh, is what it sounds like.
Do you want to know the most insane manual transmission I've ever seen? It's from a Brazilian truck named FNM D11000.
It has a normal gear lever and a second lever on the dash panel to change between low and high gears.
You change gears by putting the first lever in the normal first gear and placing the second lever down (1st low), then clutch and only the second lever up (1st high)
Then (I saw people using both hands at the same time to do this) first lever to the second gear and the second lever down at the same time (2nd low) then clutch and second lever up (2nd high)
You have 4 low gears and 4 high gears, crossing between the two levers to make the combination of 8 gears.
Sorry if my explanation wasn't good, but I was fascinated when I first saw that.
Someone should invite you for a day out at the farm.
Nah bro, no one wants to go out to the farm. Shits mid as fuck.
My SM465 designed in the 60s had a crawler... you just start in 2nd. Shame we have gotten so far from main stay tech that lasted 80ish years
Amen my friend...
This child is showing his age
The only thing " UNIQUE " is the knob. It's still a 7 speed .
Yep 2nd has plenty to get going L is used for that once in a while
Right! As soon as I saw the first thing, I said is it looks like the muncie SM465 that came in my 1972 C10. Bullet proof transmission. Something tells me the new updated Ford version is nowhere near as tough with those extra three gears crammed in the case. Something tells me they’re gears are no where as stout.
My cummins is the same way, 2nd gear is actually 1st. I was teaching a chick how to drive a manual in it and I told her, just start in 2nd, she put it in 4th and just let out the clutch and the damn thing went
“Ground breaking” bro you have a 7 speed trans with a fancy sticker on the shifter
my old ford had a gear named “L” and one labeled 1. The L was “low” and it’s use was optional. This was a 77 model F-150 Lariat 4x4
This dude is gonna cream his pants if he checks out the new Koenigsegg manual
The manual gearbox in my 90's Subaru would have blown this guy's mind.
Same lmao. I have 5 high, and 5 low in my subaru, but i can slpit the gears if i want when driving, so i have a 10 speed manual subaru!
exactly what i was gonna post - our '04 foresters low ratio box would be the work of the devil to this guy! lol
@@bannjaxx 😂😂
Yeah, in 23 or 22, at the Utah Auto Expo, I was _pleasantly ASTOUNDED_ to see that Ford, of all companies, is still making MANUAL vehicles for the USA market! I wanted to test-drive it so badly but it wasn't in the TD line-up. (Only Honda puts manuals in their auto-show test-drive lineup, and of course I drove one of those at the 2019 show, but sadly they haven't been back since covid.) And my local Ford stores don't have a manual one for me to do my $50 It Pays to Test Drive test so far. Hopefully next year!
It ain't dead in the USA _just_ yet, bro!
Damn thats really cool. But Im surprised to see how similar everything looks to my 2016 focus ST. That whole shifter and boot and the lockout, the center console area.
*laughs in 18-speed*
😂 for real
pffft Kenworth twin shifter...:P
Eaton Fuller all day!
Sure but are those manuals? I don't think so
@@daniele8484 Some of them are automated manual transmissions now, but they have been actual manual transmissions for decades, used in the trucking industry.
Land Rover Defender owners be like "You only have 1 stick? That's cute.."
Meanwhile W900L Kenilworths look down from their 3rd stick lol. Cause someone thought THAT up.
I converted my old Scout into a twin stick.
Someone needs to show this guy an automatic
Who needed the lockout to discover starting off in second😂
Trucks were using a crawler gear before you were born ......
True story
Yup. Get rid of the “c” and there is nothing new here.
I swear I keep blocking all these stupid shorts but there are too many in my feed!
Used to be 'L' on the knob now it's rebranded C
Both ford and chevy had transmissions with a L then 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.
My 89 bronco had a T180 tranny with L, 1, 2, 3..... With a 6 in life and 35s, we would drop it into L and get out and push when it was stuck
Not crazy, you just never grew up with manuals hahahaha
Just because they put a c on it doesn't mean it's not a granny gear. Underdrives have been around for a very long time.
I was gonna comment the same thing. I had an old ford farm truck that had a granny gear.
@@kellybates1972 was driving my roommates 94 F350, and yeah you have to take off in 2nd lol.
@@samuelfoote9135 😂 Right! Redlines at 5 mph
This crawler gear has a 6.58 ratio and you still have first at 4.28. That's gonna be wild with the 4.88 axle ratio some of these Broncos have.
Yup!
Lorry’s in the uk have only been doing this for 30 years but well done bro
super insane, my mind cant comprehend it....
somebody show this guy that you can start a granny-geared truck in 2nd when you're just tooling around town.
i want to see how well his crawl gear works for yanking stuck things out lol
Exactly.
New Process made some damn good cast iron gear boxes.
No one needs 10 damn gears but long haul truckers.
Omg there’s nothing new about this
I only use 1st gear when stopped at a slope and I have a VW Up. I imagine a Ford Bronco must start on 3rd like nothing
literally every 4wd? my 30 year old Toyota has a 2 speed case. and crappy granny gear? i can idle up a mountain
This guy cannot contain his excitement when his parents tell him Santa’s coming for Christmas again
Best comment

My 72 Chevy had what we called a granny gear and a high and low range as did most 4WD trucks, so it’s nothing to get excited about. The problem with that transmission is that you are always shifting. It would really suck in traffic or stop lights. I bet you would need to shift that transmission on the highway. Hope you have a strong left leg.
My 1980 Chevy C30 has this. It’s labeled L for Low Range, it’s not synchronized with the rest of the gears. It’s not a new feature, trucks have had this for quite some time. But everything that’s old is new again I guess.
What's insane is that this dude doesn't just set off from 2nd when you have an extra low 1st
exactly, there even were instances where the very absolutely same transmission in the past had for example 5 gears in 1 car by 4 and a crawling gear in another, it is just marketing, so just move in 2nd
I think his point is that you lose a ratio by doing that, I.E if you have a 6 speed, you suddenly only have 5 speeds.
The _smart_ thing Ford did is to have a 7 speed box. With six normal ratios for normal driving, and one extra-low ratio for when you need it.
The _clever_ thing Ford did was to lock it out with reverse so it feels like a normal 6 speed in day-to-day operation.
@@rus0004 i.e. getting the buyer on a psychological scale, which is nothing but marketing
@@Qwertyuiop-wg5xu True. But what car buyer isn't swayed by preferences of feel, look, smell, when shopping for a car?
well, they are still doing cause it works, obviously... i am not saying it does not, i am just saying that it is just something to make you feel better as the customer, and it works
Homie probably would pass out if you told him you can start a manual gearbox in any gear
I'll have to try this first thing tomorrow morning ❗👍
Land cruiser had this back in the 80's
You can even start one without pushing in the clutch, just as long as its in neutral.
@@Xerrill Not mine unfortunately. It has a lockout so if the clutch isn't pressed in, no starting for you. I know I can disable it somewhere but eh.
@@walterwallace1328yeah newer cars can't start without clutch even in neutral. The car probably don't know if it's in gear and thus it is safety hazard
Dear video creator person, I liked your “ground breaking” transmission video a lot. Later that day my mind was truly blown again when I blew on my fingers and “discovered” the wind….
Guy has never seen a old farm truck gotta love that compound low. Look up a t18 or a sm465
Most guys just skip the 1st granny gear and start in 2nd.
If not the intended use I think that's the expected use. This just kinda seems like idiot proofing something that didn't need idiot proofing.
@@jordanlong00 the sm465 shift pattern in Chevys sometimes is L-1-2-3, so crawl 1st and normal 3 speed for regular driving.
And nv 4500 had low 123od or l1234 it was a 5 speed
And the zf 6 had l12345
The zf6 came in ford and gm diesels
Someone needs to show this guy a Eaton 18speed with 2 speed transfer.
But then youd upset the manual guys who think they can drive manuals
@@richvangorder3900 😂
It’d blow his mind.
I dont know man, an old 13+4 would probably give him an aneurysm
@@richvangorder3900 hahaha
Wow, that is in-sane…
(In the old 4x4’s we didn’t take off in the granny gear)
Dope! I want a Manuel Bronco so bad
Great gear for when Bronco owners are going over curbs to go pick up groceries 👍

Thats actually a good one 😅
i could not think of a more perfect analogy
Im glad I saw your response before I chimed in. He has no idea what happened, does he! 🤣
Who
Sounds like the 6 speeds they put in 80s tercels but instead of a standard 5 speed with crawl, its a 6 speed with crawl
So we are gonna ignore the granny L low gear on my 1980 Chevy pickup?
Truly revolutionary mechanics lol

@@cr9953: Old Jeeps are absolutely miserable road vehicles, way worse than even modern Jeeps.
Crawl mode is for when your behind someone being way too cautious on a roundabout
Groundbreaking ... Just like on my 1986 VW Vanagon Syncro. Crazy!
Protip: most of the trucks with a granny gear had it labeled L for low, so you ended up with an L-1-2-3 pattern. It wasn't until near the end of those that they were relabeled 1-2-3-4. You were never meant to use the granny gear unless you were offroad or hauling a very heavy load, hence why it was unsynchronized. It was not meant to be used in day to day driving.
This was the idiot that bumped granny for 3 feet then ground the shit out of 1st instead of just starting in 1st😂
That's why they were mostly used as dog leg pattern boxes, the 1 was pretty much there only for heavy loads.
What was always annoying to me way the three speed manual with overdrive
That's because people didn't really know how to drive them so they had to label them you always take off on second when you got a granny transmission😅
Lmao I was thinking the same thing... This isn't a new concept it's a good thing brought back
Koenigsegg single gear transmission has entered the chat.
Yeah but most people can't even spell Koenigsegg much less buy one.
Nissan has one. They call it the CVT
What abt manual/auto transmission on agera I think I saw one
@@FriedPotatoFarmeryeah, I had a '97 Polaris Scrambler with a CVT
@@Cristian-ds5sf the cc850!!
The Fiat truck that I used to drive also had a pull-up reverse gear. It was crappy and many times the hinge got loose with all the pulling and you can’t even get into normal gear.
I love manual transmission 🦾
