DON'T DO THIS WHILE USING PADDLE SHIFTERS!

Don't do these things while driving with paddle shifters!! So many people are scared to use the paddle shifters because they don't know how, and they're afraid to mess up their car/transmission. I previously made a video teaching you how to drive an automatic car in manual mode. Now that I have my paddle shifters installed people ask how to use them so I figured it would be a great time to put out a POV driving tutorial/guide to help you learn how to use the paddle shifters on your car to have a bit more fun as I do in my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude. My paddles are the paddles from the SRT / Trackhawk which is why they are larger than the standard paddles that come on the Jeeps. Paired with the K&N Cold Air Intake sound and the aFe Power Catback exhaust, it makes for some fun especially when going under tunnels!

Finally, a guy that doesn't talk about it, and actually does it and shows you

I really appreciated the video! I checked a couple other videos before I got to this one and finally understood how to see, feel, and hear what would happen and how the car would react. Funny though, when I first attempted doing paddle shifters before seeing this video it sounded terrible and didn't understand why I went to such high RPM's; though after watching this video I had a better understanding and I had to test my new car in front of my "car-buff" uncle in-law I actually shifted properly with not being embarrassed and he really liked my new Nissan Altima SR. Other videos only showed the number changes and rpms but you couldn't hear or see the speed while on the road changes. This video was great. BRAVO!

I don't have paddle shifters, but a manual mode on my shifter, and for some reason, I'm always scared of going above 4000rpm bc I get anxious that my transmission will blow or something catastrophic. I know it won't, but the thought is still there and it stops me from having fun😂

Super useful when going down a steep hill. To save your brakes from overheating you can downshift once or twice to engine brake.

Really great for down hill trailer towing. Allows motor braking rather than continual foot braking. Really useful for real downhills like in Colorado.

Sport mode, in a lot of cars, also adds artificial engine noise. My 2020 330i does this and it can get annoying but you can turn it off in the settings.

With gas prices the way they are I'm not even trying to press mine. Usually when I use the paddle shifter I add the sport mode on it 😅

Also make sure to check your engine and trans code if you have a wet clutch you never have to worry because it lasts the life of the car

I got an 2014 Grand Cherokee limited and accidentally my nephew pressed the shifter and manual mode activated it. I’m wondering how to deactivate it?

[woodsavofficial]

I’ma stranger when it comes to using the paddle shifters. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee as well and I love hearing it scream coming down a open street. I’m just not accustomed to how to use them like that and it is a mental thing cuz I thought I fucked sum shit up

Paddle shifters on my 2010 Honda Insight Hybrid and I’ve always been afraid to use them but babygirl struggles on hills

[benny]

so does paddle shifting driving damages the gear?

[ATKPlayz]

I only drive my civic rs 2022 because of the fun it gives while using paddle shifter

[fluffycotton]

Going up a hill, downshift to get more torque, surely lower revs in the engine’s optimal torque curve is better?

[aryanaggarwal]

really appreciated your video but I have a question. when we slow down while in sports mode and then eventually stop, do we have to shift down? or can we stop and be done with it? Dad bought a new automatic car and I haven't driven it before.

[motkachuk]

Can you down shift with the gas pedal still pressed in?

[RipLW]

as i am gaining high speed i press the positive paddle shifters two times intermittently between and then at still high speed i press the negative paddle shifter to gain a huge boost of power! Am i not supposed to do this?

[benyaminhekmat]

Do you have to shift to 2nd when u want to stop?

[fernandoherranz]

I use the paddle shifters primarily for fuel economy. I try to keep my rpms at or below 2000 rpms no matter what speed im at. Its a little game i play and i try to see if i can get my mpg close to 40 in my subaru crosstrek. Ive been able to get over 40 mpg for good stretches on the highway actually. This is the exact opposite thing to do if you’re going for that race car sound! LOL!
