Hi there smart drivers. Rick with Smart Drive Test talking to you today about
shifting a manual transmission. This is not for drivers getting a license. This
is for after you get your license and you want to learn how to shift a little
bit faster. Maybe prolong the life of your clutch. So that's what we're going
to talk about today. Stick around, we'll be right back with that information.
[INTRO & MUSIC]
[SHIFTING FIRST THREE GEARS OF MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND MUSIC]
Hi there smart drivers. Welcome back Rick with smart drive test talking to you
both normal shifting on a manual transmission
what you do when you're driving every day and how you do that I had a comment
from Dell V and he asked me to do a video on how to shift faster in a manual
transmission so this video is not for drivers going for a road test this is
for after you get your road test and you start driving a manual transmission now
just before we start here if you're new here smart drive test helps new drivers
pass a road test regardless of license and helps veteran drivers to remain
crash free so be sure to hit that subscribe button just about there as
well hit that Bell that way you'll get instant notification when I hit the
videos up for you and I try really hard to get the videos published every
Wednesday and Saturday for you so today driving a manual transmission everyday
driving normal transmission and when you're sitting at the light you can put
it into neutral and let the clutch out now you've got to kind of watch the
traffic on that because if you're a newer driver and you're trying to learn
how to do this you don't want to get caught out but I was behind the big
truck there and the big trucks not going to get a whole lot of speed up off the
light so I got plenty of time to put it into neutral one of the claims is that
you're going to wear out your thro bearing if you leave it in gear and hold
the clutch in at the intersection after you learn how to drive so I'm going to
do another interview on that and I'm going to interview some mechanics and
talk to them and see what their opinion is on that because I've had that advice
two or three times and other people and other driving channels have talked about
wearing out your clutch and the throw bearing if you leave it in gear with the
clutch in so we'll get another video and when I get that video I'll put a card up
in the corner for you so you can watch that video and decide for yourself
whether you're going to increase the longevity of your clutch
so shifting normally we just come up down to a thousand rpm I got to see my
camera here I got my glasses on because it's nice and sunny here today which is
beautiful okay in neutral clutch oh I have to remind myself to to do that just
keep my foot on the brake and I'm watching a light up here it's red and
all the traffic has stopped and again I'm behind this big truck that's going
to accelerate slowly off the lights it actually is a very big truck so the
lights turned to green now and I got plenty of time here you can see just
back into first gear and we proceed and I got one vehicle behind me scanning the
[SHIFT FASTER | HOW TO DRIVE A MANUAL CAR SMARTER & MORE EFFICIENTLY\
intersection proceeding I'm into second gear already I'm not even through the
intersection I'm up into third gear you can see how quickly I'm shifting here so
once you get comfortable with it you do a few miles and a manual transmission
you're going to shift the gears fairly quickly and again I come back to I think
it was lesson 3 on the manual transmissions about looking in your
owners manual for the speeds of the different gears like I can just tell
this vehicle I Drive it the same all the time and I had this vehicle for three
years so I'm pretty comfortable with the vehicle and I'm in fourth gear and how
fast am I going I'm doing just over 40 kilometers an hour because the chip
truck here the wood chip truck the super B's which weighs out at one hundred and
forty thousand pounds or sixty three thousand five hundred kilograms is not
traveling very fast through town that driver is just keeping his or her space
back from the other traffic and trying to keep the vehicle movie because it's a
lot of work to run up and down through the gears on
that truck so that's what they're doing so I'm just hanging back and you saw
that vehicle pull in front of me in the space there and I just backed off I
still got my good space in front of me we talked about following distance and
how important that is to safe driving and again
shoulder checking twice the vehicle in front of me is turning and this vehicle
here the transmission is geared a little higher so I can put it into third gear
to go around the corner and you can see it just dropped down to about 1200 rpm
and just went around the corner shift to 4th and again I'm just going to leave my
signal on because I'm going to go right over into the turning lane and I'm going
to turn left here and again I don't have to slow down there's no traffic coming
they just shift into third and I go around the corner now for some of you
the gearing might be a little bit different in a manual transmission so
you're going to have to shift down to second to go around the corner but this
vehicle here this these years of Honda's manual transmissions the gearing was a
bit higher so you could just leave it in third most of the time going around on
even on a right-hand turn but sometimes on the right-hand turn you might want to
slow down even more and to slow down even more than you'll want to put it
into second gear so again into third gear shoulder checking
and you may wonder why I'm shoulder checking on a left-hand turn and I'll
put a video up in the corner for you on why you shoulder check on left-hand
turns it's important that your shoulder check on left-hand turns
because vehicles may sneak up on the inside of you there and I'm in third
gear still shoulder checking and you want to maintain shoulder checking after
you get your license there's a crosswalk there there's nobody at the crosswalk
and even though it's lugged down a little bit you can see it's right down
to 1200 rpm and a four-cylinder gasoline engine a petrol engine I still just kind
of wiggle the throttle a little bit because I don't like shifting I'm I'm an
old truck driver rear lazy people okay now I can shift down to second there
foot right off the clutch as quickly as possible
and I'm not getting up a whole lot of speed here because I got to come to a
stop sign so whoop somebody opened their door they're right in front of you you
probably caught that in the camera and I just caught it the last second when they
flipped the door open there okay back first and I'm having to look past the
snowbanks here and you'll see how fast here and I'm not even halfway through
the intersection I'm already in the second gear third gear
fourth gear so I go through the gears pretty quickly and remember on a manual
transmission for maximum fuel economy is the highest gear for the lowest Rev of
the engine no matter whether that's a gasoline engine and whether that's a
diesel engine and as well you want to try and get through the gears as quickly
as possible so I'm just inching up here in first gear traffic's coming vehicle
turning on the other side this is a pretty complex intersection so we've
still got another vehicle here on my left coming and they're turning
I got a pickup truck I'm just gonna wait for the pickup truck it's pretty
complicated because we've got service industries and there's a pedestrian
there so the pedestrians stop the other vehicle coming so I snuck in there okay
and again as you can see took me a very short amount of time to get the vehicle
up to third gear so again I'm in third gear shoulder checking
into the left lane signal
and then I just move over to the right lane here
and I probably should have put the waterproof cover on the GoPro but it's
alright they don't suspect there's a great deal of water coming up there even
though there's been in water now I'm in fifth gear here and you can see that the
tachometer is right down now I can skip gears I just skip the gear I went down
to third and again I know the vehicle but you can look in your owner's manual
and figure out what the speeds are the different speeds and just skip gears
right I just went from fifth to third and I'm not going too fast here because
it's a red light so I put my signal on I'm going to turn the corner here
and I'm in fourth so I switched down to third and I didn't give it any break
just come up here it's no pedestrians
and I didn't want to go in beside that vehicle on my left so moving over to the
left so that's why I kind of paused there a little bit I was waiting for
that car to get in front of me because you don't want to merge in beside
another vehicle that's what I was doing there and I was a little late on my
shoulder checked there whoop and you saw that light went yellow I just snuck over
the line there I was going to go and just as soon as I snuck over the line
the light turned to yellow so instead of pushing through I just stopped where I
was I'm behind the crosswalk lines and as long as you're behind the crosswalk
lines even if you're on a road test that's fine
so just stopped on the yellow there and soon as light turned green I stuck it
back into gear you saw that I was off the clutch and into neutral when I was
sitting here at the light and I haven't moved forward yet I really should start
moving forward there's a gap there there's not there's not enough of a gap
so I'm not going to move forward
but I got a gap after the blue pickup truck and the blue pickup truck is
turning so I'm going to start moving forward to meet the gap on the white
pickup truck shoulder checking checking again there's nobody coming and we go
you can see very short distance like even half a block I'm already in the
third year right and this this road here is a bit windy I'm up into fourth gear
and I'm probably speeding a little bit because I can feel that I'm doing over
50 kilometers an hour I should be doing the speed limit but we're not like I
said we're not doing this for a road test we're doing this just to show
people how to drive a manual transmission after they get their
license and how to do that all right so we're up here we're going to turn left
at the intersection
again there's a car coming here so I'm gonna stop check my mirrors make sure
that there's nobody behind me that's gonna climb up into my trunk
because sometimes if you stop too quickly that's what's gonna happen race
to this person's going pretty slow so shoulder checking sneek can be for that
truck
you can see that I'm fairly aggressive on the throttle I'm getting at it right
up to three grand I mean if you're getting out on a highway you're merging
you might even take it up to four or five thousand rpm to really get some
goal and if I do that out on a freeway or highway and actually I might go back
the other way and show you how to do that I would take it into third gear and
I might go right up to 5,000 rpm and then what I would do is just switch from
third to fifth I would just skip gears the only reason I'm doing that is to
accelerate to get my speed up really quickly now see this car here it's
turning right I don't know whether you can see that in the camera not I wait
until that car commits that is a that is a fundamental defensive driving
technique is when you got a car turning right do not pull out in front of that
car until that car actually commits to the turn and what I mean by commits is
is that they start going into the turn all right now I have an emergency
vehicle here okay the emergency vehicle went down
there so I'm good I'm in second I'll go back to first because it came to a stop
there and I felt that as soon as I let the clutch out
I could feel it kind of good oh that's the wrong gear so as soon as I felt that
I just touched the the gear selector and I knew I was in third gear so what I did
was they stuck it back into first without stalling it so
okay and I'm in third gear again alright and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna shift
it down to second there it was obviously lugging on that one so I shift it down
to second just to get it going again and I'm in fourth already and I'm doing just
over 50 kilometers an hour 50 kilometers an hour 30 miles an hour is the speed
limit in the city unless otherwise posted and so obviously here that's what
the speed limit is and I've got that truck in front of me
so I just let off a little bit and regain my space behind that truck that
truck is still going slow so you know I am going uphill here and because I'm
going uphill and I'm in fourth year it may log a little bit I know I may decide
to shift down to third but I don't need to I've got enough momentum forward
momentum to keep the vehicle going but it's not going to luck too much even
though it's down at 1500 rpm so
I just keep checking they got a lot of glare on my camera on my speedometer so
I can't really see it that's why I keep my glasses up to look so what I'm gonna
do is I'm just gonna go out to the highway here and then show you how to do
that acceleration okay and actually ice shifted down to
second there to control my speed coming around the corner you don't want to do
with that big truck did when he just went out into the other Lane you always
want to turn right lane to right lane left lane to left lane because if you
don't again defensive driving moves one of the things about defensive driving is
that you want to be predictable when you are not predictable and you're going
around from the right-hand Lane out right out into this left-hand Lane you
are not being predictable and when you do that you risk being involved in a
crash with another vehicle another driver because you could
potentially be in a crash because they're not expecting you to do that
yeah I'm in the left lane right now other traffic is expecting me to drive
into the left-hand lane over on the other side of the road because when cars
come around there they're going from right to right and not all drivers
employ defensive driving strategies where they he or she goes from right to
left so if they move out into the other lane then that's their fault but if
you're going to the left lane then you're gonna protect yourself you're
gonna keep a buffer of space between you and other vehicles and that is one of
the fundamental tenants of defensive driving is to maintain a buffer of space
around your vehicle and by going right lane to right lane and left lane to left
lane you're gonna keep that buffer space around your vehicle and you're going to
be safer and that's what you want to do so right now we're just like I said
quickly into gear there you saw I'd just hammered it into gear and into the left
lane here and I get past and I start straightening out shift to third gear
now when I'm straight now I put my signal on to move over
and again the big trucks got the brake lights on here but it's a green light so
we're gonna get going here and I don't trust this car here and you saw that it
went to yellow the reason I didn't trust that car is because I saw it inching
forward and it was faced into me so if that car got rear-ended from the back
end then that vehicle would have got shoved directly into me okay there and
you saw again I got it got caught out because I was talking to you guys and I
was talking to you the smart driver and so quickly I had to shove it into gear
but because I've got lots of experience I can do that I can quickly get it into
first gear but those of you that might have a little bit less experience you
might not be able to do that right away alright so I'm in 4th gear and I'm
obviously speeding a little bit I'm doing 60 here now I don't like this
vehicle in front of me because they're just like right off the corner of me and
again another yellow light here now we might be able to do this but I don't
think so because there's a long acceleration lane here that precludes me
from you know revving it out like I normally would so to show you but I
might go up the highway and see whether I can show you how to do that or not
so again I'm in neutral got my foot off the clutch and the traffic's not coming
through
it's a little more tricky when you're at the beginning of the line of traffic
when you're doing this when you're in neutral you really got to watch the
lights now I can kind of sense that it's getting closed so I put it back in gear
but you can see there's a lane of left turning traffic and they probably have
an advance turn so that's your other indicator but they don't have an advance
turn so the light went green and again I'm gonna let this car beside me go
because this merges into one lane up here
and again I'm watching this car behind beside me which is just able to he or
she wants to go first she wants to go first so we're gonna let
her go first and now I'm kind of stuck behind here so I'm just gonna hang back
and do my thing and I'm in fourth gear and I'm up to 80
the speed limit out here is 90 I got my signal on early lots of gap on the
highway here and again I'm already into fifth gear on the highway so there's
nobody beside me I got lots of room I just drift over into my lane okay
and that's all you do
okay and the other thing you're gonna have to be comfortable with is you're
gonna have to be comfortable with working the temperature controls on the
air conditioning and the defrost and the heat and all sorts of things while
you're driving so if you're taking a road test and it's cold you're gonna
have to defrost the windows or you're gonna have to put the air conditioning
on in the summertime and those types of things get comfortable with that as well
and again we're just following traffic we're just keeping the space between our
vehicle and the other vehicle and again we're into fifth gear I'm just going to
pull it up to 100 kilometres an hour ten kilometers an hour over the speed limit
over the posted speed limit and that's that's fine after you get your license
we're just keeping up with the traffic flow and I'll just stick the cruise
control on the kids have been in the car they
turned the cruise control off so we'll get it going here again up to the set
posted speed limit the set limit I want there we go
all right so we're gonna get off here and I'll show you how to do this
skipping gears from third to fifth
again I'll try not to slow down too much but I did put my signal on early and the
truck behind me knew I was slowing down so they moved over to the other Lane
Cain stop first gear and again this is the roadway that I did the judging gap
video on and like I said it's high speed it's a bit interesting out here
I'm into the center
third year and I'm staying here
and their uni went right up to 4000 rpm I think and then I just shift skipped
gears and shifted it into fifth gear and now I'm up to the speed limit I put it
on set and that's one of the other things you can do in terms of skipping
gears in order to get more acceleration because you're going to get more
acceleration in third gear than you will in fourth gear so it's better to just
leave it in third run it right up to four or 5,000 rpm on a petrol engine
obviously not on a diesel engine for those of you and Europe who have small
diesels you don't want to run it up that high
1500 2500 rpm maybe on a diesel I don't know on the smaller DZ's what's your rpm
ranges but definitely have a look in your owner's manual and that'll help you
out in terms of how far you can go on the maximum on your gears for getting
maximum acceleration out onto a highway or a freeway or the motorway or whatnot
quick review of shifting a manual transmission after you can get your
license as you saw here in the video today go through the gears fairly
quickly and you can skip gears shifting down you can shift from fourth to second
going around a corner and those types of things most of the time you're gonna
ground a left-hand corner in third gear going around right hand corners in
second gear and my Honda here it's got a different gearing ratio so sometimes in
on right-hand turns I can go around in third gear but you'll just have to sort
of figure that out a little bit in your own vehicle and have a look at the
owners manual and also give you the speeds for shifting in each gear and as
well you saw there when I went out on the highway that I just accelerated in
third gear up to four or 5,000 rpm in a small petrol engine and then I shift
directly to fifth gear that way I can just get my speed up much more quickly
to get up to the flow of traffic on the highway and the speed that they are
traveling which is safer for you as a driver after you get your license not
for the purposes of a road test question for my smart drivers if you're driving a
manual transmission do you put it into neutral and let the clutch out when
you're sitting at a light leave a comment down in the comment section all
of that helps out the new drivers and the veteran drivers all working to be
better drivers head over to the smart drive test website and get the pasture
road test first time it's a course for new drivers working towards a licence
whether it's a learner's or the practical test that course will
guarantee that you pass your road test first time whether it's a learner's or a
practical test if you finish all the course and don't pass first time I'll
give your money back within sixty days because we all know that not passing a
road test on your first go is a real drag so head over there get that course
and be sure that you don't fail your road test but rather you're successful
in pass first-time I'm Rick with smart drive test thanks very much for watching
good luck on your road test and remember pick the best answer not necessarily the
right answer have a great day bye now the traffic police have themselves a big
suburban SUV packs on it they're in full disguise
