    Manual transmissions make driving fun! But what happens when you hit the clutch and shift? This Science garage goes INSIDE the manual transmission to look at what makes those gears drive your wheels, and what keeps your engine from stalling out when they stop. If you’ve ever wondered how a manual transmission works, this video is for you!
    Bart teaches us how cars work by blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.

    Thanks a lot Bart! It makes so much more sense now. When you push the gear stick up or down, the hub moves either left or right depending whether you chose up for higher or down for lower of that side. This perfectly explains the specifically chosen |-|-| shape of the stick's range of positions for 5/6 speed transmissions!

    One thing that 99% of people forget is that the final gear reduction of the axle completely eliminates the significance of the actual numerical ratios of the transmission. For example, my volvo’s 5 speed automatic doesn’t have overdrive, but it still makes a nice 2300 rpm at 65 mph, and still gives me 33 mpg at that speed. It only has a 1:1 ratio for 5th gear but the final drive ratio is relatively low at 2.76. My subaru impreza’s manual transmission has an overdrive of 0.78 but it cranks out 2650 rpm at 65 mph. It actually revs higher than my volvo even though it has overdrive. And the tire sizes on each car is less than 1% different ( 205/50/17 vs 195/60/16). The final drive on my subaru is 3.9, which explains the discrepency. The overall ratio is what matters, not because a ratio is an overdrive or whatever. It’s true that in the past, there were fewer choices for axle ratios, and overdrive ratios were compatible with those ratios because they were already pretty high to begin with. For example, 3.73 and 4.10 are extremely common final drives on older vehicles, and without overdrive, most cars and trucks will rev too high, but if 2.44 and 2.76 were more common, overdrive would be excessive. Also, it’s true that lower rpm when cruising is advantageous to fuel efficiency, but the benefits dwindle. The actual values differ between every application, in my opinion the top gear ratio should put the engine rpm around 1500-2000 rpm at 70 mph. Any lower isn’t going to do you much good if any and it just makes transmissions more complicated by giving them too many gears.

    I bought my first car yesterday and it’s a manual and my dad is teaching me how to drive it. I first drove with my grandma and she gave me conflicting advice which my dad said is wrong but it’s still stuck in my head since it’s the first I heard. The hardest thing for me is reversing and starting after I get into 1st gear. I also have trouble easing off the clutch after I switch gears so it makes the ride kind of jumpy. But I’m sure this will all go away with practice. :)

      Double clutching just means you do this:

      Release clutch
      Push clutch again
      Shift into next gear
      Release clutch and Go.

    • @johncary4302
      @johncary4302 4 роки тому +10

      @thekidofpt1 don’t know if you’re still waiting for an answer, but the primary advantage of a dual clutch transmission or double clutching is that you will not feel as big of a shock in the car and the transmission will not take as much of a beating. Basically, since dual clutching makes it so that the change from gear to gear is not abrupt, there will be no shake n bake in the trans as there is not as much force suddenly transferred from gear to gear. This is why many modern sports cars are incorporating to dual clutching and that if you ride in early 2000s sports cars, you will be jostled around by the automatic single clutch transmissions. Don’t know if this helped or even made sense, but hope you figured this out.

    We really don’t double clutch when driving big rigs, since the transmission is unsynchronized you can actually float gears and not even use the clutch unless you have to make a full stop, a big rig is more forgiving than a regular car transmission or as mu brother would say “its semi-automatic” you just match the rpms to the speed and the gearshift pops right out and you push it into the next gear, clearly you can do this on a regular car but thats probably not that much of a good idea
