"I probably broke a lot of laws, but did you see how quickly I shifted?"
lmao but the point is lololol
It’s true though
Welcome to the 1k club
what happened if you shift too slow ?

This was wrong my 60hp Civic lost to a gtr clickbait thumbnail
Does it have vtcec though m

Problem is that the gtr was automatic
How to never lose a race:
“Don’t race.”
But if you are going to race, make sure to Wobble Wobble the shift knob beforehand for +12hp
Also small trick people don't use,when reaching the max gear in your car,you can shift it to R for race mode

"Be fast with your feet, Be confident with the shift"... Thank me later!
If you're reading this it's too late
Evan Price I hit that shit sometimes too when trying to shift fast haha fucks up everything.
@@SMoothDynamics ok drake
“Be fast with your feet, be confident with your shift” sounds better..
Yea i find when im thinking to much about the shift its not as clean
Step 1: Get in Car
Step 2: Figger it oot
Step 3: I'd suggest you let that Marinate
Pitter patter lets get at her
Kav808 well pitter patter lets get at er. We’ll figure it oot.
1. Know your car’s redline by sound 2. Know your shifter positions so you don’t miss gears and use specific hand techniques (open palm, side of shifter, etc...) to get in gear quicker and be sure when you start a race your in the proper rpm range/gear for your car so you take off like a bullet
Bro my car doesn’t have a tach it was so hard to learn on but made me a better driver because I relied on the engine sound alone
its not always about redline man. just know when your peak rpm power range is
@@210_bk2 if you make enough power to burn rubber this is especially true, redline could just be ur tires slipping and you'll be short shifting every race
@@xander4218 I make enough to burn all the way to fourth, granted I’m not on proxies or anything but yeah true
I cut my muffler off so I can rev match without a tac, previous owner put the wrong cluster in. I don't know what rpm to be in but I know what sound to be in. My motto is... if I can hear the radio I'm getting good mileage.
SkywallGuttz this comment made my morning lol
You as dumb as you look. Leave your stock exhaust on grandma!
SkywallGuttz lol no mufflers are a blast until you take long drives
Your radio works🤔🤔.....😂
In America at least, no muffler is fun until you get pulled over in city limits for illegal muffler modifications with the intention of more noise... Everywhere but Texas that is

Pls help me. Isnt he dumping the clutch? Is that healthy at gears above 2?
@@kylemguile9980 if you are rev matching and you rev match it perfectly, which just comes with practice driving manual, then you’re fine to dump the clutch. If you are in the 3rd gear downshifting to second and you push the clutch in and rev it perfectly to the exact amount of RPM’s you’re supposed to be at in 2nd gear and you dump the clutch while doing it (but the key is, that ur RPM’s are perfect) it will have virtually no wear on your clutch. Having the RPM’s perfectly matched for whatever gear you’re going into means you can always dump the clutch. For example I drive a manual 2004 350z and I’ll be driving behind some slow people and once there is an opening to get past them I’ll be doing about 45 mph and then I’ll downshift to 3rd then 2nd and when I reach 2nd gear at 45 mph in my car, this is when I plan to take off flying past them. So I put the clutch in, put it in 2nd, rev it up to whatever feels right (about 5,000 rpm’s for me) and then dump the clutch and it should feel very smooth and of course as you dump the clutch give it gas and from daily driving my car everyday for 5 months, by know I’ve got this down like a pro and I make it look easy. All it takes is practice. When I downshift at 45 mph into 2nd gear (which is a perfect and fun little pull to do for my car), and I nail it PERFECTLY, it is so satisfying and I promise, at least for me, it is smoother than most automatics downshifting because you got a clutch that you can work with and become really good at.
@@kylemguile9980 also btw sorry I never explicitly answered your question but no it doesn’t matter what gears you dump your clutch at except if you’re leaving first gear then that’s bad. You can dump the clutch at gear 2 or above without putting any extra strain on your clutch as long as the RPM’s are perfect and smooth. Just rev up the RPM’s exactly where they should be and then quickly dump the clutch and it shouldn’t matter. The clutch is made so that you can change gears relatively smoothly even if your RPM’s aren’t perfect. If your RPM’s are perfect then you can dump the clutch though and master it and don’t even need to feather it at high speeds and racing. Sorry for how long it is but I wanted to be precise because I had the same questions before I got my car and I was always pretty unsure of how a manual transmission worked despite my love for cars. Just want to make everything clear and helpful that’s all. Hope this was helpful in some way. Who knows, maybe you already know what I’m talking about by now.
@@turdshack4228 hey thank you so much you are very kind and helpful. I actually got my manual car 2 weeks ago and everything you said i learned within the day of driving it (99 bmw 323)
@@kylemguile9980 Wow that’s awesome. Take care of your clutch and your tires and enjoy the ride. Many automatic drivers say automatic is faster for racing and it is in a straight line but manual is the most fun and manual is way more superior/faster on a windy road/track. I raced my friends automatic 350z on the track and then raced my manual 350z on the track (we have the same mods) but I was running a much better time only because I was able to downshift into high RPM’s for the turns and come out of them in high RPM’s and zooming. I’m sure you already know this but I just wanted to share because you seem cool.
I agree with what you are saying, very good information. I drove a manual for a living, 10 hours a day, for 25 years. To feel the shift, I learned to just use my fingertips to shift and could go through the gears as smooth as any automatic. It takes time and practice. Great video!!
Nobody will ever shift as fast as an F1 Car tho
@@DoAxKenney not really shifting like this
Are people forgetting the foot work required to rev match and shift smoothly? hand movement is the easiest part, it's all about removing the power gaps when your leg is on the clutch, of course you can't just lift your foot really fast because that's going to jerk your car and harm the gears
So basically move your feet faster 👀
This guy purposely made the video close to 10 minutes long so that the CZcams algorithm keeps his videos circulating. This video could have easily been condensed to 2-3 minutes.
so basically just shift faster
shadez95 it needs to be over 10
shadez95 ok and?
@@SJ-xb7lg or you can get ur WiFi router too block ads

living in Europe, i do this since i got my license, my test drive was in a manual, its really weird to think that there are people who drive a car but never touched a manual
90 % cars in Quebec is automatic
That’s exactly what I thought watching all this American people’s video on driving manual and I’m like “yo I learn that from my father since I was 14” lol
I know right? I feel the same way
@@lorenzosarica Today, getting a manual is premium. Used to be the other way around, but the auto is so standardized that If you want a manual you pay extra. There are many in the world who cannot afford the luxury.
@@commodorejones8044 that might be true in the states, because basically in EU (I’m Italian) there are obviously Manual & Auto transmissions, with the Autos gaining more and more market, but it’s still normal to see/have a Manual rather than an Automatic
So basically what I got from this is know you’re car’s sound and feel. Also control the left foot.
Honestly makes a lot of sense and it’s the little things like hitting neutral as your clutch is going down, hitting the gear when your foot is one the floor and releasing that clutch fast and back on the gas.
Thanks for the video bro you made this simplistic than every other one I’ve watched. Stay safe out there and save the manuals 🤘🏼
“Other people would make a really long video for no reason”
This is 9 minutes of how you should just pull on the stick shift slightly before you shift
5:38 sweet irony
hahaha for real.
2 weeks ago I would stall 1/3 times, haven’t stalled in a min. Watching videos helped a lot
Invaluable info. I was tentatively throwing in the odd rev match and while I'm getting better at it in going to forget rev matching and spend some time learning your quick shifting on slow traffic days driving home from work, once I'm shifting very snappy with confidence then go back to heel and toe
This is something I have been working on religiously in my car the last few months and honestly it is so much fun to row at similar speeds to my friends cars that are automatics, all about confidence. Just be safe about it and treat your gears with respect.
To never lose a race one would need to begin with not a BRZ lolz.
we'll talk in races that aren't straight lines
FRS John Race me brah.
Ben Troxell real races have turns
A lot of people will hate on his comment but check out Ben Troxell’s channel he has a awesome BRZ on there.
Cirenio Sanchez Haha thanks man. Going to be bringing some high quality content here soon with the new camera setup. Also the car has had a bunch of changes since those videos. Coils, wheels, tires, tails, sideskirts, etc.
"Hey Robbie, can you do a video on how to shift your trans so hard that you blow it up and decide to do a full AWD swap out of an STI, with a map DCCD controller and everything? Thanks man" (:
Daniel Colucci power shift will do that
i have no idea what you said
He said that the guy in the video is good at breaking the synromeshring inside a gearbox
Hey thanks man. These videos really helped me. I was in an accident and needed to get another car quickly and my budget was too constrictive and only found manual cars and I needed to learn how to do all this in basically a day. Thanks.
Manuals are awesome.. except in traffic :/ but they are more engaging
Are you still driving manual?
I feel one of the perks you guys have living in a country where you drive on the right side of the road is that the gear stick is in my dominant hand whereas living in Australia its in my left, so its harder to draw H patterns with your non dominant hand.
I think what you were trying to describe with the actual shifting technique is to use your hand strength (quick and agile) to shift rather than your arm strength (slow, and clunky, an over-exaggerated movement). It should feel effortless and fast (and yeah, you definitely have to know your gears without looking).
Alright, I watched this video and finally learned how to drive my Mazda right! No more lurching! Thank you!
This is a great video. This is exactly what i wanted to confirm bc i do this. Slightly pre-load the shifter before you press the clutch. Works smoothly and effectively 🔥🔥
U literally passed by my uncle's house
Then u passed my barber 😂
So according to this video and how fast you shift, I've been quick shifting since I got my licence (6 months ago)!!!
thanks for the information!! i love the roads you drive btw, very peaceful looking place
I just got a manual, im just learning and i already love it also thank you for this video
0:07 sounds like my microwave 😂😂😂
Doesnt pre pushing the stick damage the selector fork on long term ?
I mean, quick shift is useful for racing where longevity doesnt matter, but for the daily driver it might not be a good idea
About when you said to push the clutch fully,
When I started learning how to drive manual on a sim racing rig, I was banging both of the pedals down completely lmao
It feels so damn good to slam it down and punch it into the next gear
I love your driving tips Robbie
Why are so many being negative about it? Give him a brake, he's just trying to teach newcomers how to shift a bit faster and that power shifting is a terrible idea...
His videos are pretty good and entertaining. I bet most of the people complaining, are either horrible at shifting themselves or just don't understand, that this is not meant to be an advanced tutorial. Even if you know how to shift even faster, common sense should tell you, that this video was not meant for you...
And I do realise that not everyone is here to learn and some are just bored like me, but that doesn't give you a free pass to bash him for trying to help new enthusiasts (especially since a big part of the car community seems to just bash them and scare them away instead). If newcomers see the way you're acting, they'll just start to think we're a bunch of arrogant assholes and will walk away instead.
So just enjoy the video for what it's meant to be, instead of bashing for no reason.
Yeah give him a "brake".
Break.
7:53 that’s what she said
Informative vid!
I had a beater R6 a few years ago that I really didn't care about. It was my "fun..beat on me" bike.
I barely clutched that thing. I'd blip the throttle then quickly roll off and in that tiny lull it'd shift with no resistance. I could get that thing fun flying in 3 seconds, haha.
Probably not conducive for the longevity of that tranny, haha.
Great video man!!!
Power shifting is what truck drivers do ! Applying some throttle before letting clutch out while shifting ! Your flatfoot shifting is actually called speed shifting ! Ask any trucker that's 60 years old ! Shifting names got mixed up decades ago. Simple quick shift is using your wrist in combination with your arm ! Just like drumming !
Ok !
Awesome advice! Just started driving manual and i've noticed I shift slow af compared to all the autos around me looool
Also about the start where you talked about not being able to look at your camera while you drive, you're really better off not doing it. It's a distraction from the road and therefore unsafe - it's like looking at your passenger while driving. It's scary D:
I was actually pretty spooked when I saw you doing that whilst you were driving in your other vids lol, but now that I think about it you probably did that while you knew there were no other cars around you. Defensive driving is key :)
look threw ur perifierlssssssss
The key really is to give it some tension like he said and get use to how fast it releases. If your car will take a short shifter. BAM!!
One of the best videos imo
just what we need, a new driver to come watch this video and be like, oh so go really quick with your feet, gets into manual, jumps the clutch... stalls.
2:46 “I’ll pass this young guy who don’t knows how to drive.” 2:xx. “Never mind...”
LOL
Helps when your cars works. Pretty sure my trans needs a rebuild and I’m learning on it. Idk if I’m bad or it’s the trans/driveshaft
Thanka. Ive got my driving test tomorrow and hope i get to do this
7:35 *gets pulled over* But officer did u see how quickly I shift
To keep my car intact for a long time my gearing down be like:
Clutching out, rev matching, clutching in, clutching out, rev matching aaaaaand clutching in.
My car will stay with me my lifetime😇
i just got my first manual car. a 97 integra gsr. perfect because i've already owned 3 automatic teggies so i felt right at home with the 5spd lmao
its so funny when basically everyone in your country can drive manuals, while ist really special in america ( im from germany btw). thanks for the video!
The "don't need clutch all the way down" are probably remnants from truck drivers, where you can half-clutch sequential gears 1-5 and 6-10, but need to full clutch from 5th to 6th. Otherwise the fast-clutching you describe is all about the synchromesh, which is how you can shift fast without requiring perfect rpm match for that gear. Your method has nothing to do with technique, it's just the synchromesh preventing you from destroying your gears.
Only way to shift faster is to buy a short throw shifter.
Max moolahan What u even taking about.
Z specz or a sequential shifter
yeah, thats one of the most ricer things ive heard in a while..
*Is to get a dual clutch
@@HotDogBunN2YG short throw is rice? Tf?
i think i’m in love with you
thank you for this video
Awesome tips - thanks a lot!
Cool technique, what if your cars engine revs don’t drop fast enough and you’re hitting gears before rev matching?
Need a lightened flywheel
@@milesclifford-nicholson278 OR the ECU is simply programmed that way in order to lower the emissions and oil consumption and needs to be remapped.
Why is everyone in the comments bashing this guy, clearly you are watching this because you don't know how to drive your car so how bout you go buy an auto watch a paddle tutorial.
Lol personally I can shift even faster, just watching for entertainment and cuz I’m bored tbh.
I'm watching to see all the posers that "think" they're driving a manual
i clicked on this because i was bored and lost in the maze of youtube videos
10 minutes of my life wasted
🏆
Bro this is Coquitlam!!! That's fire man
I would say don't move the shifter lightly when racing because it may not slot into the next gear. I've done it a few times even when driving around town where i didn't follow through with the pull from 1st to 2nd and the stick popped into neutral. Always pull firmly and all the way to the end of the throw. However when making a diagonal shift like 2-3 or 4-5 a less forceful motion is ideal to avoid mashing it straight up into a lower gear and money shifting.
My friends still shift faster than me... They go from park to drive in less than a quarter of a second.
Is it normal for the car to lurch forward when you quickshift? Isn't that damaging things? The official 0-60 of my car is 12 seconds, but I did it in 10 when quickshifting but I feel as though it really affects your transmission.
Sounds to me like you're powershifting, not quickshifting. That does affect your transission, unless it is built for that. Engineering Explained has a great video on that if you wan't to know more ;)
@@friddevonfrankenstein Definitely not powershifting I don't think. The transmission wasn't designed for speed, and the flywheel is just standard. Doesn't really happen since I have a car designed for speed now.
For drag racing I slap shift, tap the clutch in to where it releases just a tad, slap the gear in and pop the clutch out. It should be one movement, you shouldn't push the clutch in and sit at all. In, out and while pushing in and out real quick slap the shifter into gear.
Thank you man
Too much rumbling Robbie
He purposely stretched the video out to nearly 10 min to keep the video circulating for CZcams's algorithm
shadez95 it’s not even 10 minutes
I pressed the clutch hard one day and my clutch pedal broke in 2 pieces. Now it's making lot's of weird noises. I love old cars
Tidex69 l
Wtf....
Gotta be careful to not miss the shift though. Another guy I saw who drags alot said to face your palm towards the higher gears after the 1-2 shift. Even 3-4, same way, palm faces higher gears. That way if you do miss, you miss high and not low.
u got me with quick shift
funny living in the area and noticing and knowing everything in the background
Nice vid., if just a bit long. You might want to mention something about clutch care, like what causes excessive wear. Clutches are expensive and difficult for a DIY guy. A dealer quoted $2100.00-ish for a clutch in my '05 Accord 6-6 (I have 160k miles on original clutch, and I'm not doing it myself). Iit's still fine, tho, and showing no signs of wear (yet)...
tl;dr: take care of your clutch
p.s. don't race a 6-6 Accord in a stock BRZ
a clutch shouldnt cost you more then 300 bucks........maybe another 300-400 for labor. lol 2100 wtf
Front wheel drive car. You pretty much have to move the motor...ok, IDK all about it, but that motor is in there sideways and tight, something major has to give.
Also, that was the Honda Dealership, so worst case scenario.
Senshudan Don't race on the street period. I drop dime everytime I see it.
You are definitely getting ripped off... A good clutch kit is around $300 and $600 tops for labour... I was quoted $300 labour for mine. Best to go to a private garage too. My mate took his car to a dealer and a month later there was some problem so he took it to a private mechanic... They found the dealer didn't even change the clutch; the private mechanic said the dealer had just tightened something so it worked okay for a while longer!
So basically just get good at shifting, got it LOL nice video
2:28 it KILLED me when the Kia Soul outran him 😂😂
I'm 14 and thanks to sim racing I can quickshift like a boss
CheetahSpeed same
@Smart asian Hacker I second this
@Smart asian Hacker i agree very much, its helpful though if there is a guy without any kind of knowledgge
"Time for everybody's favorite sound" push to start
My srt8 challenger is also push to start, and it sounds great to me. I didn't know keys made the car sound different...
Okay try this one, this is some thing i used in my motor sport days, it does strain things but you get a lot of poke. I first started using this on my group 4 mk1 escort and later on in my 89 sierra cosworth. So you pick up revs so your around peak power in a rally car thats probably around 7300 to 8000, a road car around 6000 ish mark, you need your clutch change lighting fast, also your gear change needs to be lighting, you can do this with out a quick shift but your over rev your engine for longer. So a peak power, clutch goes down and gear change at same time, also DO NOT lift off the accelerator peddle what so ever> the car should sound like a motor bike doing a racing gear change, If you have a turbo car, you will find you dont loose any boost and in both cars you will get a kick. I still some times use this gear changing on the road if i think i am going to loose to a bigger car. So i like i said it does strain things, off road its fine as tire slip kinda smooths that out but on tarmac your just going to dig in when moving, pulling off the line i would not do from a standing start and only from 2nd gear up through the gears.
Very similar to quickshifting on a motorcycle except you can keep on the throttle (albeit a little less) on a motorcycle
Not always so simple. Especially when driving higher powered cars. There's a lot to shifting but it's not all that hard with some practice
Will this make my ford ranger faster?
With this method, you should easily be able to keep up with the gtr's and zr1's
Trade that ford in for an older model. What I learned was that any truck that was made before the year 2000 is faster and better if you can restore it.
Just a suggestion
Just wanna say that.. if you hold a bit of pressure on the gear stick(pushing it to neutral) when you release the accelerator pedal, it will slip out of gear.. then youre pretty much just clutching into the next gear..🙂🤙🏼
You can do that when there is no traction on the gears, but really should avoid it. Same as fast switching. This is not good for the transmission.
And it is not faster than using the clutch.
This is exactly what I do, put some pressure on the stick and stab the clutch and itll go into the next gear and by the time the clutch is back out I'm in the next gear
I have to study for finals. Why did you have to put your other videos in the description.
Edit: Good videos tho.
Imagine doing this in your first driving lesson
I did, bad idea. 😂😂
Newer Camaro 6 speed manuals have no lift shift. The accelerator stays to the floor at all times while shifting and keeps the car in optimal powerband. Perfect for the drag strip
Love the crown royal shift boot
How is your camera not shaking? What is the setup?
GoKaioken OIS
Learn clutchless and that will take care of everything else once you add the clutch back in.
Tbf great video, possibly longer than needed but definitely understood the concept!
Great video🤟
I have a diesel ford focus and if you do this fast the car will jerk too much cause of high torque. How should I tackle this?
First of all u dont race diesel focus, secondly so what if the car "jerks" its part of the game. U expect ur car to be smooth on shifts when ure flooring it??
Buy petrol
RadioactiveX not race a diesel ahah 😂
U also made a really long video that could have been 3 minutes
“I’m not gonna hit your dog I promise”🤣🤣💀
I knew from 0:05 that you were in Canada for some reason!!! Great info for real brother!!!
I still don’t get how you do it. Don’t you have to slowly release the clutch so that takes up a couple seconds?
Yep
Tommaso Fogliani so do I start accelerating slowly while I’m releasing the clutch?
Tommaso Fogliani and just rev it
Rustic do not do this
I thought to make a video similar to this soon
In Germany you make your driving license in a manual car. (Always) If you dont, you have a license restricted to automatic cars. (Nobody does that) Im gald that its the way it is.
Officer: you broke a lot of laws
Me: but did you see how quickly I shifted?
Too bad I can't just quick shift like you're explaining cause of my retarded electronic throttling in the computer that keeps my throttle body open FOREVER and hangs revs. If I engaged the next gear and let out the clutch quickly the engine is spinning way faster than my transmission and would lurch my car forward. It's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen on a car. My car is a 2009 Chevy Cobalt LS XFE. I believe it does that to create better emmisions don't ask me how but that's what I've read.
Does that car force you into 3rd. Force skipping gears for fuel economy?
Same thing on my missus Yaris. Have to shift so slow haha
What's the fucking point of a 5 speed if they don't let you choose what the transmition does. That's bullshit
I guess 370’s must have the same technology then because my fucking revs hang for hella long
Vq37vhr get a lightweight flywheel
Not explained properly
There’s bloody diarrhea everywhere
I don’t understand anything you say when you refer to the shifts but I get what you saying.. I’m glad I ran into this information because I was fuckin my car up not even know it.
Sick letty bro
