"sitting in the wrong or right side"
both actually.

i started giving some gas whilst downshifting without the intention to do it cause it felt much more smoother, finally now I have confirmation that I'm not doing it without a good reason

[glizzygoblin-nluh]

My dads gona tear his hair out if i dont figure out how to downshift cleanly soon lol

3rd to 2nd - quite a lot of gas
2nd to 1st - say bye to your gear box 😂😂😂😂

The hardest part of learning to rev match for me was figuring out how quickly or slowly to release the clutch. You learn that it just depends on your speed, and what you're attempting to do with the downshift. If you're slowing down and engine braking it's better to use finesse. If you're trying to drop a gear and disappear, you let it out quicker while adding heavier throttle.

I’m starting to learn to drive and you’re the only Youtuber in this genre that I trust not to help me fail 😂

I love these videos. As an anxious learner I find these videos oddly calming, I always watch some before my lessons and find I drive much better. I really appreciate you making these videos.

And if you really want to have fun, drive something *really* old, like pre 1940s. No synchros at all, double clutch up and down, no room for error. Excellent way to master a manual.

Wow! Such a boss driver. I find it harder to do smooth downshifts in our golf diesel than my petrol my tf. Perhaps down to golf having heavier dual mass flywheel whereas MGs being lighter? You can literally just let the clutch back up in MG and the revs 'match' without you doing anything.

I like the tractor diesel shifts. You can immediately start at 2nd gear and you go up gears when you reach the sweet spots on the rpms. Downshifting either you brake then downshift which is a must so you dont brake fade or let the engine brakes slow down and downshift accordingly

Ah so this is what Vin Diesel meant by "granny shifting, not double clutching like you should"

[HarryWZRD]

Wow man! I'm a fresh driver and this just will help me out a lot, thanks!

[GeneralmoffblogsBlogspotmoffvs]

My main problem is that I know how to heel and toe, but my brake and accelerator must be too far away from each other, or maybe my feet are just too small! Either way, I find it hard to press the accelerator whilst braking gently and smoothly. Any tips? I’m in a 2016 Fiesta eco Boost?
