    One of the biggest things that always mystified me about changing gears was how they managed to do so without grinding against each other until they engage.

      @Motorsheep 4 роки тому +92

      @pyropulse and rev-match. And shift quickly because otherwise, you WILL grind, as you will never perfectly match up the rpm's. You make up for the rest by just throwing the gears together quickly so they don't have time to grind.

    • @KevinBenecke
      @KevinBenecke 4 роки тому +64

      18 wheelers don't have synchronizes in them. You have to double clutch them to shit. the more experienced ones can do it without the clutch just by matching engine speed. You can actually do it in a regular transmission as well. As long as you match the engine speed to the shaft rotation, the gears will be able to slip together. It's one reason why you hear a big rig rev up when they are downshifting gears. The lower gear needs a higher engine speed.

    • @SjP_92
      @SjP_92 4 роки тому +26

      @@Motorsheep I agree. But its called "double clutch" as mentioned. "Rev matching" as i understand is (engage clutch, put it in a lower gear, tap the throttle to match the engine rpm to the gearbox rpm and release the clutch, and you've managed to downshift without putting strain on the clutch and the whole drivetrain, and a much smoother ride also, but its only possible to do it in that order that i mentioned in a synchromesh gear config. I use that type of "rev match" and engine breaking daily in my car which obviously has a synchromesh gearbox(even the reverse gear has synchros on my car as i guess most modern cars have)

    • @Motorsheep
      @Motorsheep 4 роки тому +30

      @@SjP_92 you are right. Rev matching is part of the double clutching technique. Press clutch, go to neutral, release clutch. On upshift, wait a short moment, on downshift, bump the throttle. Both are done in order to match the speeds of the "entry" and "exit" shafts in the transmission. Sorry, I don't know the correct English terminology. Then you press the clutch again and engage the next gear. If you match the revs well, you theoretically don't need to clutch to engage the gear, and you can also disengage without the clutch by just lifting off the throttle when accelerating or bumping it a little when slowing down. The moment when the drivetrain switches between acceleration and deceleration, there's no load and that lets you disengage the gear. But it reduces wear on the gears if you do use the clutch.
      My daily is a rigid box truck with a synchromesh box and I also double clutch often, mostly on the downshifts, because, in the resistance of the shifter, you do feel the momentum of the big gearbox and how much work the snychro rings have to do if you don't rev-match. Downshifts are less of a problem because the rpms on the engine side of the transmission drop anyway as soon as you press the clutch.
      Sorry if I'm preaching to the choir here, you might of course know all this.
      Rev matching without double clutching reduced wear only on the clutch, though, since engine rpm has no influence on the rest of the drivetrain when the clutch is disengaged.

      @@BillyJack85 old Soviet cars had synchronizers but they were not that great and sometimes people even rebuilt transmissions without synchros at all to save money, lol.
      So... In those cars it was actually possible to shift without clutch what many commercial drivers did back then to prevent clutch assembly from rapid degradation and save money on maintenance that way.
      My family had Moskvitch 412 and Vaz 2101 at some points and I drove them doing just that sometimes when the car was empty (no big loads). Fun indeed :)
      But not having synchronizers at all and that on heavy equipment that you have to drive on rough surface? And it's 10 speed??? I am not sure about that.
      Some truck drivers nowadays hate driving manual trucks thought the mountains because it's a major pain in the ass and I totally agree with them :) and felt bad every time I used to send them down that route when I was a dispatcher.

    • @BillyJack85
      @BillyJack85 2 роки тому

      @@ArtemLokhovitskiy Yea I don't know whether mine had synchronizers or not to be honest. I was always good at driving but I never understood much about mechanics or transmissions... even after watching this video I don't feel any closer to understanding. .. but I drove a few 70s-80ish Mack dump trucks and a newer model Peterbuilt for a few years in my early 20s, and after I got used to them a little bit I found I could float the gears pretty easily & smoothly when I up-shifted just by listening to how the motor sounded when I revved it.
      I seem to remember it being a little trickier on the down-shift, but then I got pretty good at floating it in neutral when I was coasting or coming up on traffic and just slipping it back into the right gear by judging the speed and revving the motor again.
      It almost got to be like playing an instrument or something. It was oddly enjoyable to not have to barely use the clutch at all except for starting and stopping.
      It used to be a hassle having to double clutch every time you wanted to change gears in the beginning when I first started driving.
      I don't think I ever drove an automatic truck before... except a nice new water truck my company rented one time for a job... but it was for dust control on an underground utilities job site so I didn't have to worry about treacherous mountain roads or driving too fast.
      Driving through them steep mountain passes has always seemed sketchy to me tho, on a manual or an automatic, especially when you see those safety pull-off roads for trucks that have lost their breaks, so I'm glad I never had to do that.

    I have always understood basically the general mechanism of the transmission and gears shifting.
    This is by far the most simple explanation I have watched, so far.
    The automatic transmission that is a different story. I have watched some videos explaining it, but I can't even start to explain it myself even if my life depended on it.

    "Please note, the reverse gear has no syncronyser ring"...
    My first car, and possibly my second car, had no syncronyser on the first gear too!
    This because you were supposed to use the first gear only when moving the car from stop position; if you were in second gear, the car was fully loaded and you met a steep incline requiring the first gear to continue, then what?
    This is why the driving school of 50 years ago taught how to shift with a unsynchronized gearbox, and how to shift without using the clutch - the clutch wire broke every thousand miles!
    Thank you for the great video - you are the undisputed Master of Engineering Animations!

    From @3:30 on to @4:45 is the bit about syncromesh, which is what I am here for. Really, really good, by far the clearest and best explanation of this system I’ve heard or seen. First, the ‘need’ is explained, then the ‘black box’ bit, where a hypothetical solution is shown (we know not what, at this time), then finally the actual implementation. First-rate. I can point my daughter to this, and she’s going to understand why her little car isn’t able to change gear when moving, but perfectly happy to engage any gear, when sat still. Take care all.
