Great! I now know how to rev match... Now all I need is a car

[unknown-cohu]

nobody’s doing it like this guy, this man took the time to pull over, lift his engine and transmission out, take out his clutch, get back in the car and show us! 1:47

I don't get why instructors don't teach this. It's almost vital.

So basically its like bicycle gears, the first gear is super easy but you can't go fast, and the 7th is very hard at low speeds but you can go faster.

If I paint my pressure plate red, then are the cops more likely to pull me over?

[laskyler]

Just wanted to say as someone who is new to the world of cars and wants to educate themselves, your videos are by far the best I have ever seen and making this understandable but also with the perfect amount of technical explanation. you rock.

[johnsword]

So I already know what rev matching is. Now, how do I rev match then?

[smartdrivetest]

Hi there - great video with a fantastic explanation of why rev matching and the heel-toe technique are important. Thank you for that fantastic information. I love the part in the vehicle, although I suspect for the less mechanical inclined, those parts could potentially be off a space ship! 80) All the best, Cheers Rick

One more point to add is that its application is not just limited to racing. Bad weather conditions can also cause the rear to "step-out" if one is too aggressive with a downshift and you don't rev match. It's a good skill to have. Downshifting in bad conditions is a good idea to prevent lockup from ABS issues. For example if all four wheels stop turning on ice because the wheel speed indicator detects no motion from the wheels ABS can be ineffective. Downshifting will prevent lockup in those conditions and keep the wheels turning as well.

I Rev match all the time and it's amazing when you get it perfect every time. Gf still doesn't understand though

[DeanBritton]

I'm a biker, and I'm finding that these videos are explaining a lot of the questions I've had watching Super Bike racing over the years, and helping me with my own bike and car experience. Thanks dude! :)

[dannymagee]

Weirdly, I've always done this even though I've never heard of rev matching. Just noticed that the right amount of throttle during clutching helps smooth downshifts but never thought to wonder why.

the first thing you need to understand is understanding
