To all the learner drivers about to attempt this, make sure you know what revs/speed are suitable for downshifting 2 down. If you’re going fast enough in 4th and immediately shift down into 2nd, you are going to lose your beloved Corolla
Ive almost gone into 2nd on the freeway instead of 4th, thankfully ive been driving my car for a long time so i knew when the rpm started going over 3k something was wrong and clutched in
Actually it's better, lets say you got a 1.9L diesel, your maximum output torque is at 2500-3300 and you drive in 4rd gear, at speed of 80 km/h if you downshift to 3rd gear you get high rpm high torque, but downshifting to 2rd gear is kinda bad, you are limited on how much speed you have, plus rpm ar at maximum 4000 and no longer have the power.
@@cautarepvp2079 in this video specifically he unnecessarily goes through two gears to get from 4th to 2nd. There is no reason to blip twice and shift twice. 3rd gear was 100% redundant Going from 4th to 2nd in this case is not KINDA BAD whatsoever as long as you rev match properly
Well that's why if your rpm's are too high you don't switch down to second you just go to 3rd. This has nothing to do with down shifting twice just to get to 2nd just drop it straight to second. You just gotta know how to drive it's extremely simple. You would not down shift twice on a dirt bike would you 😂. Just because 3rd is your hardest pulling gear don't mean it's going to pull harder then 2nd gear at lower speeds. @@cautarepvp2079
Genuinely curious of the important rev matching in a car. I drive a truck, and rev matching is required on a downshift or else it just simply won't go into gear. Cars have synchronizers so I don't see the purpose.
@@Ryan_Carder car is same as the truck, gotta rev match to downshift, or else you get the jankiest shift of your life, you whole car feels like it just got hit in the front for a sec
@@Ryan_Carder synchros only help to match input speed to output speed, but when the engine is disconnected (i.e. clutch plate pushed away), the synchro has no idea what speed the engine is at, it's only syncing *it's* side of the car (gears, clutch, wheels, etc. Put simply). A rev match is then you matching the engine speed to the wheel speed, stopping your car from lurching and possibly absolutely destroying your power train.

In the UK in driving lessons we are taught in our driving lessons to skip gears because overall you get less wear and tear than going thru the gears in order. Most cars in the UK are manuals and our lessons and tests are quite comprehensive.
@@sabagamer3052 they use to teach that yes, now they are less picky about it as long you maintain good control and observation, don't cross over your arms or do something deemed dangerous.
I always find it amusing when people talk about double clutching. Just go from 4 to 2 and rev match. Your car is designed to be able to do that. And you won’t mess up a slower and more complicated double shift. Just know your car, don’t just slam it in 2nd
you’ll put some wear on your synchros but yeah you’re right. double clutching (if done right) will put less wear on your transmission. although if you’re bad at it it will be worse than skipping a gear
If you do this often and want to save wear on your synchros, double clutch and skip a gear. That tends to feel smoother for passengers as well. Regardless, there's no need for a double shift in a non-sequential gearbox and double clutching is not required.

The double downshift is really dependent on your gearing. Most cars if you are cruising in the gear before your overdrive, you won’t have enough rpm in the limiter to drop 2 gears.
The “drop a gear and disappear “ refers to street bikes. U can most definitely drop gears on a manual trans except cars weren’t built to take that kind of abuse especially if your not (blipping) matching your RPM’s while doing it. Also double clutching is really hard on your clutch pack and pressure plate.
The only place you are going to get a legitimate class on manual Rev matching is in a class A truck driving school, or a professional racing school. Both take a lot of money so this skill isn't something that people who know how to do it readily like to teach for free. Good job on you man.
Rev matching is still some next level witchcraft to me, but this dude is illuminating the situation so much, I got confidence. Buying a new replacement clutch tonight.
the thing is... double clutching is recommended but isnt strictly needed, if you watn to bang your gear double clutchiong should be done to avoid burning up your syncros inside the gearbox, but also you dont need to shift from 4th into 3rd and than into 2nd, if you know your car well you can from 4th gear, clutch in, put in neutral and release clutch, rev up to around where 2nd gear would be (hint: way more rpm) and than clutch in again and bang the 2nd gear in, if you did it well the gear should just pop in really easily because both gearwheels should be about equal speed (thus avoiding accesive syncro wear) and therefore go in really easily and than just release the clutch with the high rpm and just floor it and shift like you usually would. some people also recoomend couble clutching when shifting up 1 gear but thats not really neccessary because thats literally how every normal person driving a manual car drives, therefore they were designed for that, its just the downshifting part which wears out alot of parts when you dont revmatch (mainly clutch and syncros) its like on a bike where u just peddal slowly but are relatively fast and than downshifting and needing to first take a few seconds to speed up your legs to so that you can accelarate faster when you shift down, just that its the engine doing that motion and the clutch taking the difference of speed and converting it into wear and heat. i realized that this comment is alot of technical bla bla but basically when downshifting more than one gear try to revmatch xd source: experience from driving a miata... and yes i know and yes its not a joke, just look at my channel and the videos ive posted xD
Meanwhile, me in electric car: *STEPS ON ACCELERATION HARDER* Edit: alright so everyone complain that it shouldn't be called gas cause it was an electric car so i change it to Acceleration.
For the old heads... New Chevys have a shift assist gate that won't let you go from 4th to 2nd without doing this so you don't money shift. Also you can research shift-by-wire which completely defeats the purpose of a manual trans.
"double clutching" and "rev matching" the only thing those two are good for is putting unnecessary strain on the throw out bearing and friction material, pumping the clutch once and going from 4 to 2 is perfectly fine and a lot more efficient.
You wouldn’t be downshifting two gears if you’re in the mid to higher rpm range. But if you’re at cruise rpm, slap it down into what ever gear puts you in the power band.
Not double clutching like you should. You’re lucky that 100 shot of nitrous didn’t blow the welds on the intake. Almost had me? You never had me, you never had your carrr
Im still learning to drive manual and i gotta say rev matching is way easier than it sounds. I still have a good amount of trouble accelerating from a stop than i do rev matching.
Back when I was a kid my dad taught me about a driving mechanic called a dande macouse meaning gear macouse which I do not know what means in English but my point is that if your cruising in gear 4 and you want a little extra boost start accelerating and then drop down 1 or 2 gears and then just go back up once the rev limit has been reached.
Side note, rev matching doesn't work in most new cars because the ecu does it for you when you release the clutch in lower gears. Rev matching can fuck your car up.
Just put the gear in neutral when braking and slowing down, depending on the speed when you need to accelerate shift the gear into whatever number your speed is.
When i see people saying about blowing out clutch, it hurts my eyes. If you have 4th gear on with low revs and you down shift to 2nd, it will just make revs higher. As long you don't make revs higher than engine is made for, everything will be fine (unless you have not tuned car, because it will rock you like a little baby).
Wow!!!!! When you know a kid didn’t learn to shift from a mentor😳 I was so damn confused how to watch it three times to understand what he was doing. You don’t need third gear when you’re dropping down to second🤣
Engines have full power at some RPM , for example ym car has all power at 3000 RPM , so , eachtime when u want to change the gear and disapear , make sure you will be most of the time in that RPM
Bro thinkin he's driving a semi with the double clutching, just learn your rpm's and know what hear you want, clutch in rev to the rpm you know the hear needs for the speed you are going release clutch and hammer down
@@Golden31Eagle He wasn't double clutching, he was downshifting twice with rev matching (I prefer to heel toe, though). I've also driven commercial vehicles before and have a CDL, and in the trucking world, the experienced prefer floating gears; it's easier on the clutch leg. Now if he wasn't downshifting twice, you could assume he was double clutching.
On a motorcycle The clutch is only required when stopping fully. You can literally burp the throttle and downshift with no clutch. for shifting up you just let off the throttle and shift immediately. If you know when it’s going to disengage you can do this in a car to, it’s just harder.
Get fast enough with your feet. You tap the clutch to take it out of gear rev while the clutch is out then press the clutch shift into desired gear. Your syncros will thank you.
It's not a 1950s dump truck. No need to double clutch. Your synchros aren't thanking you, this is what synchros are made for. Doing what you are saying to do, is only necessary if you have an unsynchronized gearbox.
I've been driving manuals for ever, i would just reg match from 4th to 2nd. Wich makes me curious, is that wrong? Bad for my car? Does that give me less power?
If it’s a newer car with synchros you’d be fine skipping gears. I do it all the time. Synchros are made to mesh the different speeds smoothly and quickly. Obviously know what speed you’re going, because 4th to 2nd sounds scary radical due to over revving possibilities. But it would in a performance mood get you more power, if for example your car made peak hp @6600rpm, and you are in 4th gear @1900rpm, downshift to 2nd @4,000rpm, you’d get a better start and jump. Basically the only time you’d drop a gear to disappear if you’re on a highway and randomly wanna haul, or if u need to pass a truck or something of the sorts. Depends if your car has peak power higher in the rpm range, what speed you are going to determine which gears to be in, and whether your trans is synchro or not
Imagine being revved out in 5th, thinking the "drop a gear" rule still applies. You will literally lose all gears, and your pistons might land on the moon
Depends on what ya be driving. If your in with no sinc transmission you have to put the clutch in 4 times to go down 2 gears. Clutch in neutral clutch out reb in clutch in gear down clutch out let out repeat for next gear down.
Okay so here is a breakdown for ya. He's in 4th Gear and he wants to go to second gear. Let's say for this breakdown his rpm is at 2000 in 4th Gear, 3000 at 3rd and 4000 rpm in second gear. He presses the clutch and uses the gas to increase the rpm to 3000. He then releases the clutch. Now he's in 3rd at 3000 rpm Now he presses the clutch again with a small amount of gas to increase rpm to 4000 and then releasing the clutch. Now he's in second at 4000rpm. The reasoning behind rev matching is to lower the stress on the springs on the clutch when changing gears. if you dont rev match you will have the engine flywheel and the trans clutch spinning at different speeds, when you release the clutch the springs will absorb the forces when the clutch and flywheel collide. if you hard drop the clutch a lot it can not only damage those springs but also the 2 wheels at the same time. conclusion, rev matching if when you rev up the engine to the necessary rpm during downshifts that matches the rpm for the gear you want to shift to at your current speed. im not a car expret but i hope you understand
@@firewhisperer oh wow thanks! I’ma go ahead and practice this. Every time I try to downshift either by rev matching or even with the heel toe method I keep messing up
@@Anxi3ty_ Don't worry about it, just takes practice and time, and then you'll be able to rev match just fine. I personally think a double shift is unnecessary if you're wanting to drop a gear and take off. Instead, skip a gear. Let's say you're in 4th gear at 2000 RPM. 3rd and 2nd gear need to be rev matched at 3000 and 4000 RPM, respectively. Instead of a double shift, rev straight to 4000 and get her in 2nd gear. 4th - > 2nd. You can also double clutch in this scenario, which I prefer to do, but it's also not necessary and adds another step where mistakes can be made. So, just practice your rev matching and don't be afraid to skip gears. Just make sure if you do skip that the low gear your shifting too won't be above your engine's redline. Practice the movements slowly so you can focus on accuracy and getting your muscle memory down. When you feel pretty comfortable, start speeding it up, incrementally increasing how quickly and smoothly you can do it until it's second nature. After this, if you wanna throw in a double clutch or a double shift for fun, then do it! Good luck my friend!
If you're going to go through the effort of double clutching and rev matching anyway you may as well just skip the gear... You do less wear... Going through both gears is only beneficial when you do not double clutch or rev match because The curve of wear is exponential... Going from 4 to 2 does 3 times the wear as it will do to 3 and 2, so you're doing 50% more wear overall.
I use to do what you’re describing in the video but I then graduated into double blipping the gas were I just simply double blip the gas while keeping the clutch in & go from 4th to 2nd let out on the clutch & zoom 😎
You're allowed to skip gears by the way. I do this all the time. It's less work on you and less wear on that throw out bearing.
Facts it's easier too

some people also recoomend couble clutching when shifting up 1 gear but thats not really neccessary because thats literally how every normal person driving a manual car drives, therefore they were designed for that, its just the downshifting part which wears out alot of parts when you dont revmatch (mainly clutch and syncros) its like on a bike where u just peddal slowly but are relatively fast and than downshifting and needing to first take a few seconds to speed up your legs to so that you can accelarate faster when you shift down, just that its the engine doing that motion and the clutch taking the difference of speed and converting it into wear and heat.
i realized that this comment is alot of technical bla bla but basically when downshifting more than one gear try to revmatch xd
source: experience from driving a miata... and yes i know and yes its not a joke, just look at my channel and the videos ive posted xD
Meanwhile, me in electric car:

Can you really call it a gas pedal when there’s no gas?

I absolutely love rev matching downshifts, makes for fun driving and sounds badass too.
For the old heads... New Chevys have a shift assist gate that won't let you go from 4th to 2nd without doing this so you don't money shift. Also you can research shift-by-wire which completely defeats the purpose of a manual trans.

I like how he keeps his eyes on the road and not the camera when he's talking
"double clutching" and "rev matching" the only thing those two are good for is putting unnecessary strain on the throw out bearing and friction material, pumping the clutch once and going from 4 to 2 is perfectly fine and a lot more efficient.
bro my mind can’t comprehend
If your engine rev is high in 4th gear, don’t do this! Shifting 2 gears down will break your engine
You wouldn’t be downshifting two gears if you’re in the mid to higher rpm range. But if you’re at cruise rpm, slap it down into what ever gear puts you in the power band.
@@jgetscensored7837 that’s true
yoooo the bmw badge is out
“When you do it quickly it looked something like this”. Massive jolt😅
Who doesn't love a bit of rev match action!
If my car is already at 6-7k rpm in the fourth gear then down shift into 2nd, I'll get into my mechanic in the fastest way right? Right??
💰💰
If someone thought being at 6-7k rpm in 4th, and dropping it into 2nd is a good idea. They'll need their head testing first and foremost.
No u r wrong your car will disappear if u do that don't believe try it, it really works
Works better if you shift it into Race mode. You’ll get there way faster
now i know what vin diesel meant when he told me that I'm not double clutching like i should
Grannie shiftin
Not double clutching like you should. You’re lucky that 100 shot of nitrous didn’t blow the welds on the intake. Almost had me? You never had me, you never had your carrr
@@johnnychimpo7539 i love you
This aint double clutching
Im still learning to drive manual and i gotta say rev matching is way easier than it sounds. I still have a good amount of trouble accelerating from a stop than i do rev matching.
yeah just drop to 2nd, put revs up to about 4-5k and ease the clutch out, once fully engaged floor it until the natural shift point.
Not sure how this would work since if i would rev match to 3rd at about 4-5k rpm then down shift again to 2nd and my rpms would be 7k or higher
differs based on you cars gearing
he talking about cruising in 4th so 4th would be ~2000 3rd ~3250 and 2nd ~4500 just depends on gearing
I like this how to videos.. see u at the Shop!!
Back when I was a kid my dad taught me about a driving mechanic called a dande macouse meaning gear macouse which I do not know what means in English but my point is that if your cruising in gear 4 and you want a little extra boost start accelerating and then drop down 1 or 2 gears and then just go back up once the rev limit has been reached.
Side note, rev matching doesn't work in most new cars because the ecu does it for you when you release the clutch in lower gears. Rev matching can fuck your car up.
This is amazing information. Thank you
Just put the gear in neutral when braking and slowing down, depending on the speed when you need to accelerate shift the gear into whatever number your speed is.
Easiest way.
I know all this and have used it before but still want to watch these types of videos 😂
Need a POV like this to show ppl how to do learn how to shift in general
Lesson learned: Miata only needs 2 peddles. Clutch and gas.
"single clutching like a granny and not double clutching like you should"

This is what i was looking for in the comments! Hell yeah dude! 😎
Now me and the mad scientist need to pull the block apart and redo the burn piston rings.
granny shifting...
That's not how he said it lmao 🤣
@@paygecook3772 "granny shifting not double clutching like you should"
When i see people saying about blowing out clutch, it hurts my eyes. If you have 4th gear on with low revs and you down shift to 2nd, it will just make revs higher. As long you don't make revs higher than engine is made for, everything will be fine (unless you have not tuned car, because it will rock you like a little baby).
It’s also good to downshift on inclines, that way the car can climb up the hill without choking as my dad says
yup! that and you get to hear your exhaust 😈
Wow!!!!!
When you know a kid didn’t learn to shift from a mentor😳
I was so damn confused how to watch it three times to understand what he was doing.
You don’t need third gear when you’re dropping down to second🤣
Woth rev matching my friend taught me is look at your rpms and know where you want to be put it close where you want and downshift
I normally go from 4 to 2 but add some extra steps seems fun.
You will break your engine
"Instructions unclear, drop from 5 to 2 going 80 mph"😂
See I flick a paddle in skedaddle
“I just gained 3 miles an hour” 😭idk why this is so funny
Engines have full power at some RPM , for example ym car has all power at 3000 RPM , so , eachtime when u want to change the gear and disapear , make sure you will be most of the time in that RPM
Funniest thing in the world..quoting a movie that started out making fun of double clutching while simultaneously telling us to double clutch
I love these manual tips shorts
6th to R
Never let em know your next move 😎
Clutch in, rev twice/rev match while dropping from 4th to 2nd. More efficient and less harsh as others have said.. Sometimes less is more
Watching people masterfully shifting gears is pretty interesting to me, probably because i have never driven a car with manual transmission.
"How to drop a gear"
Drops 2 gears
Bro thinkin he's driving a semi with the double clutching, just learn your rpm's and know what hear you want, clutch in rev to the rpm you know the hear needs for the speed you are going release clutch and hammer down
He wasn't double clutching, that was because he was going to 3rd and then 2nd.
@@grantb7677 go watch the video he presses in out revs in gear out in out gear out revs in gear out
@@Golden31Eagle He wasn't double clutching, he was downshifting twice with rev matching (I prefer to heel toe, though). I've also driven commercial vehicles before and have a CDL, and in the trucking world, the experienced prefer floating gears; it's easier on the clutch leg. Now if he wasn't downshifting twice, you could assume he was double clutching.
It's really satisfying driving a semi tho.
Double Clutching 🙅🏽♂️ Triple Granny Downshifting 😄👍🏽
Thanks big dawg
Miata gang 😎
On a motorcycle The clutch is only required when stopping fully. You can literally burp the throttle and downshift with no clutch. for shifting up you just let off the throttle and shift immediately. If you know when it’s going to disengage you can do this in a car to, it’s just harder.
Get fast enough with your feet. You tap the clutch to take it out of gear rev while the clutch is out then press the clutch shift into desired gear.
Your syncros will thank you.
It's not a 1950s dump truck. No need to double clutch. Your synchros aren't thanking you, this is what synchros are made for.
Doing what you are saying to do, is only necessary if you have an unsynchronized gearbox.
I've been driving manuals for ever, i would just reg match from 4th to 2nd. Wich makes me curious, is that wrong? Bad for my car? Does that give me less power?
If it’s a newer car with synchros you’d be fine skipping gears. I do it all the time. Synchros are made to mesh the different speeds smoothly and quickly. Obviously know what speed you’re going, because 4th to 2nd sounds scary radical due to over revving possibilities. But it would in a performance mood get you more power, if for example your car made peak hp @6600rpm, and you are in 4th gear @1900rpm, downshift to 2nd @4,000rpm, you’d get a better start and jump. Basically the only time you’d drop a gear to disappear if you’re on a highway and randomly wanna haul, or if u need to pass a truck or something of the sorts. Depends if your car has peak power higher in the rpm range, what speed you are going to determine which gears to be in, and whether your trans is synchro or not
@@M54B30_fan yea for older cars or project cars it can damage the engine tho
@@mnstrmassacre7670 how would it damage the engine it’s all trans unless you’re talking about crankwalk.
@@mnstrmassacre7670 for a higher milage trans just double clutch if you are going to skip or just do it whenever you are just regularly downshifting
@@ethanol-fb never thought of that thanks 😊
🤣🤣🤣 Going through 3rd on a manual in order to get from 4th to 2nd must be the most American thing I have ever seen on a manual car. 🤣
Most uk thing I've seen Ina car
Im soo glad I have an automatic
Imagine not skipping gears in 2022
Imagine being revved out in 5th, thinking the "drop a gear" rule still applies. You will literally lose all gears, and your pistons might land on the moon
Depends on what ya be driving. If your in with no sinc transmission you have to put the clutch in 4 times to go down 2 gears. Clutch in neutral clutch out reb in clutch in gear down clutch out let out repeat for next gear down.
Just hold the clutch and blip the throttle twice to rev match then release clutch, clutching in twice is extra work and is slower
This confused me even more ;-;
Okay so here is a breakdown for ya.
He's in 4th Gear and he wants to go to second gear. Let's say for this breakdown his rpm is at 2000 in 4th Gear, 3000 at 3rd and 4000 rpm in second gear.
He presses the clutch and uses the gas to increase the rpm to 3000. He then releases the clutch. Now he's in 3rd at 3000 rpm
Now he presses the clutch again with a small amount of gas to increase rpm to 4000 and then releasing the clutch.
Now he's in second at 4000rpm.
The reasoning behind rev matching is to lower the stress on the springs on the clutch when changing gears.
if you dont rev match you will have the engine flywheel and the trans clutch spinning at different speeds, when you release the clutch the springs will absorb the forces when the clutch and flywheel collide. if you hard drop the clutch a lot it can not only damage those springs but also the 2 wheels at the same time.
conclusion, rev matching if when you rev up the engine to the necessary rpm during downshifts that matches the rpm for the gear you want to shift to at your current speed.
im not a car expret but i hope you understand
@@firewhisperer oh wow thanks! I’ma go ahead and practice this. Every time I try to downshift either by rev matching or even with the heel toe method I keep messing up
@@Anxi3ty_ Don't worry about it, just takes practice and time, and then you'll be able to rev match just fine. I personally think a double shift is unnecessary if you're wanting to drop a gear and take off. Instead, skip a gear. Let's say you're in 4th gear at 2000 RPM. 3rd and 2nd gear need to be rev matched at 3000 and 4000 RPM, respectively. Instead of a double shift, rev straight to 4000 and get her in 2nd gear. 4th - > 2nd. You can also double clutch in this scenario, which I prefer to do, but it's also not necessary and adds another step where mistakes can be made. So, just practice your rev matching and don't be afraid to skip gears. Just make sure if you do skip that the low gear your shifting too won't be above your engine's redline. Practice the movements slowly so you can focus on accuracy and getting your muscle memory down. When you feel pretty comfortable, start speeding it up, incrementally increasing how quickly and smoothly you can do it until it's second nature. After this, if you wanna throw in a double clutch or a double shift for fun, then do it! Good luck my friend!
@@BradChadley thank you I appreciate it
Hahaha teaching me how to shift and you litterally just blowing up your shit with unnecessary shifting. nice rev match bud, try it from 4 to 2
Paul Walker did it like no one else. He dropped a gear and dissapearerd into his dashboard.
You can just hold the clutch in a blip the throttle twice- way easier ,sounds better and is a lot faster also better on the bearing
If you're going to go through the effort of double clutching and rev matching anyway you may as well just skip the gear... You do less wear...
Going through both gears is only beneficial when you do not double clutch or rev match because The curve of wear is exponential... Going from 4 to 2 does 3 times the wear as it will do to 3 and 2, so you're doing 50% more wear overall.
There is a whole lot of boost delay and a lot of torque after the delay but going Dow a gear or 2 you can quickly achieve the boost and power
Don't need to waste the effort to drop into 3rd to get into 2nd. Just do a bigger blip. I drop from 6th straight to 3rd to overtake.
Exactly. Rev matching is not hard at all.
I use to do what you’re describing in the video but I then graduated into double blipping the gas were I just simply double blip the gas while keeping the clutch in & go from 4th to 2nd let out on the clutch & zoom 😎
Bro really shifted from 4th to 3rd to 2nd
gotta keep it sequential for the track!
Good shit I don't know many people who can properly drive a manual
