wouldn't this design make it quite a bit more likely for someone to accidentally slam the thing into reverse in motion? I get that crawl is very slow but it's still forward movement, and I always thought the extra step involved in reaching reverse, i.e. a step that "isolates" the reverse gear from all the forward ones, was to stop anyone from accidentally getting their transmission into it and promptly destroying their car as soon as they lift the clutch (or maybe the car takes a screenshot, I don't want to try it). Seems like if you're distracted and try to go into 1st it might just move up into the reverse slot instead if you're shifting quickly enough and don't let it bounce back to the "normal" side, or do you still need to continuously hold that mechanism up with once you have the stick all the way to the left for it to enter the slots?
@@justalonelypotetoreverse gears have a lockout feature in addition the shift lock. The transmission physically will not let you shift into reverse if you’re moving too fast for it. Plus most people wouldn’t be going out of crawl into first very quickly considering it’s a crawl gear for off roading which doesn’t have very high speeds, and it would likely grind and pop back to neutral before they ever get it to money shift into reverse.
No it's not just 7 speed dingus you aren't gonna go in c to get going then go in first stop trying to reword stuff to make yourself feel right you're wrong it has 6 speeds and a low gear

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!
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
My '71 ford f100 had a granny gear as first gear, but second was geared like a normal first gear. I never got confused and just put it in second most of the 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.
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.
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….
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.
@@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
@@daniele8484 Some of them are automated manual transmissions now, but they have been actual manual transmissions for decades, used in the trucking industry.
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
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.
My 1985 Toyota SR-5 4X4 has a 5 Speed... And ... And ... A 2 speed Transfer case. Making 5 normal gears.. and 5 low speed crawling gears too... That would super nuke mind blow this guy.
As I recall Chevy, Dodge, and Ford offered the same equipment on most of their trucks back in the day. I’ve owned a C/K pickup in the past and know for fact it had a two speed transfer case. Mine was an automatic though. I currently own an S10 ZR5 and it also has a two speed transfer case, no manual though unfortunately.
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.
I could imagine him looking kinda funny at an old Fendt 800 Favorit. 6x4 with high and low, but it also has the forward gears as reverse with a seperate selector. Though it does have synchronization and Fendt's famous Turbomatik clutch (torque converter with integrated clutch, so you can easily start driving in 5 or 6 gear of second group)

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
Dude really said “This is so groundbreaking” 😂😂😂
Crawl gears have been around 😅 it's called starting in second gear instead...
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"
Like he's never heard of LOW... oof
The only thing that's pretty cool is it's a six speed with low.
If it makes a big “KRRRAAGGHHHH-KKKAAADDDUUUNNNKKKKKK” going into Crawl it’s a real OG.
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!
A real classic landrover gearbox would blow his mind.
I was looking for thus comment.
Red stick yellow stick shifter and maybe throw in an od
Yep that's for sure
don't forget the natural in low as well @@diegoarjona7605
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
My '71 ford f100 had a granny gear as first gear, but second was geared like a normal first gear. I never got confused and just put it in second most of the 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.
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.
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…
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….
Shoe game is COOKED with this guy
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 😂😂
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
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
That's a nice feature idk how many times driving down a rocky or dirt road in my old truck and first gear was too slow but 2nd was too high
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.
This guy gets a sticker from his parents everytime he goes potty
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
You did him dirty😂😂😂
So we are gonna ignore the granny L low gear on my 1980 Chevy pickup?
Truly revolutionary mechanics lol
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.
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
PMSL 😂
😂😂
As one who grew up driveing the old 4 speed with granny 1st we started oyt in 2nd gear when teuck was not loaded
FANTASTIC!! He said facetiously.
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!
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
Who needed the lockout to discover starting off in second😂
This guy is impressed with an Analog Watch
*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.
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
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.
Yup just put a new shift knob and now it's a revolutionary transmission 😂
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
Bro is the type of guy who doesnt know Clark Kent is the Superman
Lmaoooo 📠
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
So... 7 speed manual transmission. Wow.... I am speechless.
Bro has never been in a manual car in his life. Fresh out of high school 🤣🤣
My 1985 Toyota SR-5 4X4 has a 5 Speed... And ... And ... A 2 speed Transfer case. Making 5 normal gears.. and 5 low speed crawling gears too... That would super nuke mind blow this guy.
I read SR5 and my first thought is "they made an offroader AE86???"
Throw in a diff splitter gear while youre at it and the third shifter too boot.
Then add a dual tcase setup to really see how low you can go!
As I recall Chevy, Dodge, and Ford offered the same equipment on most of their trucks back in the day. I’ve owned a C/K pickup in the past and know for fact it had a two speed transfer case. Mine was an automatic though. I currently own an S10 ZR5 and it also has a two speed transfer case, no manual though unfortunately.
@@Christian---Wow… I hope that was satire. If not, you’re a real dunce. Shocked to know there are 4Runners and Tacoma sr5?
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
“Ground breaking” bro you have a 7 speed trans with a fancy sticker on the shifter
It’s INSANE!!! Absolutely & utterly INSANE!!! It’s MORE INSANE than all other INSANE transmissions! INSANE INSANITY it is!!!
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
Yep this dude was born after 2000. With out a doubt .
I wasn’t born after 2000 but I wanted to say I was just to point out how lacking in knowledge this guy is
😂 Ford has been doing this for a while now.. having a ratio below first gear was just called L
Groundbreaking ... Just like on my 1986 VW Vanagon Syncro. Crazy!
Crawl mode is for when your behind someone being way too cautious on a roundabout
Great gear for when Bronco owners are going over curbs to go pick up groceries 👍
💀 😂
😂😂
This dude would loose his mind if he drove my 1984 international 13 speed with a double split.
Air shifter ?
Imagine him seeing a 5x4 or 6x4 twin stick........
I could imagine him looking kinda funny at an old Fendt 800 Favorit.
6x4 with high and low, but it also has the forward gears as reverse with a seperate selector. Though it does have synchronization and Fendt's famous Turbomatik clutch (torque converter with integrated clutch, so you can easily start driving in 5 or 6 gear of second group)
Just an ol triplex Mack would blow his mind!
stop with this bullshit comments, dude aint even mindblown hes just showing crawl gear, why are u all so pressed lmao
After few years they'll add 50 gears in manual transmission 😂😂
R - stands for Rocket speed
C- stands for Catapult mode.
