How to Change Gear QUICKLY in a Manual Car / Stick Shift

Changing gear faster in a manual or stick shift car is worth practising, safely and from the bottom up! Remember that changing gear quickly in your standard car increases the risk of you damaging your transmission, clutch, engine, tyres or even spinning the car with a RWD.

Changing gear quickly can be done in several ways, a more gentle approach will allow you to stay quick whilst lessening the wear on your transmission, or you can slam gears like no tomorrow. It is up to you but be warned that the harder you shift, the more likely you are to break something!

LADS. How has everyone been? Thank you for checking up on me whilst I've been away, I hope you've all been ok ❤️

Low gears you change slow and high gears you change quick its all about getting those revs to match for ultimate smoothness and the least wear.

I passed my test around 7 months ago now and I'm only just getting smoother gear changes. Initially, I would put the clutch in, bring it to the friction point and then add throttle but I found that when I had to accelerate hard, I always slipped the clutch. Now, I'm leaving the clutch in longer until the revs drop and I'm getting much smoother changes. Thanks Paynos, your videos help enormously mate!🤙

You need a footcam thanks..your contents are great help as always

I just realized I’ve firmed a bad habit, I let out very quickly after first. Thanks, hopefully my shifts will feel smoother understanding that.

3:32 Were you humming along to the engine revs? 😂

[ShrubNubXP]

Welcome back! I can't believe since your last upload Ive gone from not knowing how to drive to passing my test😃 I can't thank you enough as to how much your driving tip videos helped me. Thank you paynos!

Welcome back my dude. Proper manly video this. Miss shifts happen to everyone or grinding gears. Scary but rewarding when you get a manual right!

[rsyt]

Been missing you mate, nice video 😀👊🏻

[MenaceMedia]

Yeah Been waiting for this video for ages! Can't wait to get the squad vids back 👀

Hey bro, Ive been a subscriber for about a year now. I just today passed my driving exam and now I never have to worry about it again. I did the exam six times and I am so happy to have my license. Just wanted to share the good news. See you later

Beware when preloading the shifter as this can wear the selector forks in the gearbox over time.

That tip with letting the revs drop is definitely a case of know your car also. It depends a lot on your engine's free spinning intertia - for example my petrol Civic's revs drop so quickly that if you don't change gear extremely fast, the clutch ends up spinning the engine back up instead. However in my diesel van with an absolutely massive flywheel I have the opposite. I would get a burst of acceleration, but the anti-slip stops me from adding any power until the clutch is fully engaged and matched with the engine. Irritating, when you're trying to get a quick 1-2 off a roundabout.

Thanks for coming back! Much love from America✌

Fantastic video dude. You explain a lot of things and it's a lot to take in, but I find that these are definitely helpful and it takes time but I slowly start implementing these habits into my driving over time. =)

Been looking at first cars, so far my favourite is the Audi A1 sport 1.4 at £2000 but I used your insurance tips video and got it to £1600 by adding my parents and slightly changing job title from plant fitter to plant engineer saved me £200

Got my test in a few weeks. Your videos have been really helpful. Cheers buddy.

Loving your videos mate, very professionally done.
I also like how you talk to the audience as if they're your friends. It's really relaxed and helps with relaying the information across as it isn't rushed! Keep it up!

you're back haha, been waiting for some more videos, I passed my test since you last put up a video :)
