    The fact that you kept reiterating how to change gears (clutch in, shift, etc.) was pretty damn good. Beating a dead horse is a proven method of teaching lol.

  • @ufartface
    @ufartface 4 роки тому +1

    dont forget when you are rev matching down shifts- your foot needs to be off the clutch- this allows the input shaft of the transmission to spin the lower gears faster- on upshifts, you want to slow the higher gears

  • @Floresbrandon95
    @Floresbrandon95 5 років тому +1

    Tbh I don't give it gas when upshifting through gears. I left off the clutch and continue the gas in a way where it's at the same time as I let off the clutch. When you're in neutral and you start easing off the clutch, when it starts to move.. that's your grab point. That's where u let off as you continue the gas in one motion. Giving it gas is like over revving it which isn't needed and over time you'll wear the clutch out more. To start off in first, you can also tap the gas little by little as you ease off the clutch. Kind of as if you're in reverse, same difference.

  • @pngenmail2808
    @pngenmail2808 6 років тому

    Very nice video! Could you please explain what is the proper way of operating the clutch? With heel planted on the floor or using the whole leg? Since the clutch pedal in my car rests a bit high unlike other cars I am not able to put my heel on the floor and pivot. When I searched on the net I found most people use their whole leg (without heel touching the floor) to operate the clutch. Thanks a lot in advance!

    Honestly I like my sn95 without a short throw, in comparison to some other cars I’ve seen the throw is already extremely short, especially those gated Ferrari’s and Audi r8s which have a super long throw, I feel like I would struggle to know what gear I’m in and if I really shifted it if I had a short throw mod. I just hate how you have to extend your arm completely to reach the shifter

    @Jaredamos97 6 років тому

    First if the car's rpms start climbing without moving you don't let the clutch out faster that's how you lose control of the car especially if you're a beginner also over revving is what happens when the car passes the rev limiter since you clearly don't seem to know what that is. Secondly you don't have to give it gas when you shift to the next gear if you shift at the proper rpms which if your car is shaking when you shift your shifting too low in the rpms which means the next gear doesn't have an rpm to switch smoothly. Where did you hear shifting at 1500 rpms saves gas because that's not true that's how you fuck up your transmission because you're shifting too low. Third if you put the car in neutral you don't hold the clutch in you shouldn't hold the clutch in when your sitting at stop lights or when you're down shifting especially since that burns up the clutch. Also one of the common sense rules of driving stick is you never drop to 1st gear especially not from 3rd what that's called is stupidity the tr3650 transmissions which are the transmissions that are in the Mach 1 as well as the GT's are not designed to drop that low especially since their synchros are notorious for going out. Downshifting rev matching is smoother for the transmission not the clutch. Clearly you don't know much about Mustangs especially since the Mach 1 was already a sub model so therefor they are all relatively the same there was only one package really available it was called the I-Up package which had nothing to do with performance also not all Mach 1's came as manuals some came as automatics. Also shifting fast is a skill you are far from mastering that was slow as hell dude especially considering the fact that you have a short throw shifter in the car and the gears are closer together which should have helped you but you still shifted slow as hell. I've been driving manual mustangs since I was 15 and had my permit I'm now 23 and watching this video the only thing I've learned is that you're a dumbass bro you don't know what you are talking about, however you do know more then the average teenage driver but you definitely should not be teaching others how to drive stick when you are so far from mastering it yourself. Also a piece of advise do you're own work on your car it well help with the learning process that's what I have done and it has helped in my knowledge of my cars immensely. Sorry to be so harsh just don't wanted t correct the mistakes which there are many more but I don't have enough time to get to all of them.

    Here in israel, to get your drivers license, you need to go to a driving school and get like 40 lessons (half an hour each), the car I learned to drive with is so easy, the clutch is easy control and I mastered driving that car and I passed the driving test, but trying to drive my dad’s car was really difficult and you have to get used on the clutch again and gas clutch balance again.

      Deeken Wheeler You don't need to revmatch in normal cruising around town you just keep the the gear your driving in relative to your speed. So don't downshift to second while doing 70 mph.Also let the clutch out slowly when downshifting, obviously if you.let it out fast the cars going to jerk. I've been driving stick since the 80s and have never revmatched nor has anybody I ever knew. I think it's an import thing for modern time. if your at a road course I get it.

      @amirichi Do you dump the clutch after you blip the throttle? like Clutch > Neutral > Gas > Down Shift > Let off clutch fast ? or let off slow

    If you buy a mustang do you need to use stick shift?

      Loser there's no point in buying a mustang if its not a v8 and not stick shift that takes the fun out of it.
