Operational Manual #1 - Shift Quicker

[Tom]

Trying something new here guys, especially for those who haven't been following our social channels. I've been getting plenty of questions on YouTube especially regarding manual shifting H&T etc so I was thinking of compiling them here or creating a series of post revolving on driving topics

I hope this helps anyone searching for answers on footwork and such, let's dicuss

I'll start with this one:
How to Shift Quicker

Good topic, I'm pretty rusty too now driving manual after been driving AT for over 7 years now! (and anyway I'm not so good to begin with!)

Btw for me it seems it's my left hand that's not fast enough to shift following disengagement of the clutch from the left foot. I think so far in about 2 months driving my son's manual Swift, there were like 3 times I missed gear coz my left foot already released the clutch while my left hand was a split second late hence failed to engage up shift.

Tom, again I am here to express my thanks and gratitude for your tips and highlights in how to execute H&T technique and rev matching back in 2016. It has been almost 2 years already since that topic, time flies.

Now, I have no problem rev matching accurately and executing H&T during normal daily driving. Rev matching is now like my natural response whenever I downshift. Made me realize how horrible the car jolts when I downshift directly without rev matching during the days before I learn about it from you.

Thanks again Tom and also 6UE5t for the help back then. It was a good lesson that I will remember for life as long as I am driving a manual transmission.

Need to time your hand and leg coordination together.....lol

Wah already 2 years ago? Time flies indeed and now you're pro already!

Yeah, a bit rusty and getting old so not so fast anymore.

Interesting. What do people like me who can't twist my foot to do a heel-toe? Not on my current car anyway, I need the chair to be lower to HT

Still not as pro as Tom or you during your younger days. Yeah, it has been 2 years already as I still remember about the video that I shared here was recorded during the eve of 2017 CNY. Now, I have even managed to teach a friend of mine about rev matching and H&T. Also taught my brother about rev matching whenever he is downshifting from higher RPM. Had to show it to them while driving, the difference between rev matching and not rev matching. The jolt and jerk without rev matching is very noticeable.

Try side foot blip of the gas if your feet can angle and overlap between the brake and the gas. On your BMW should be able to do coz the gas pedal is floor mounted and long with angle towards the brake pedal, right?

Anyway, slightly off topic leh, this thread is Tom's part 1 for quick up shift first, not yet H&T. Probably H&T will be part 2 later.

I bukan pro la even during younger days, just the balls outgrew the brain too much! Luckily still survives so now the brain can already overtook back. Sini banyak real pro macam Tom and bro Pomen_GTR.

Moderator like you can't be a noob can you? Its been a while since you are here, sifu TR

 

[turnturtIe]

master renesis can teach me heel and toe too?

 

[sanekit]

i cannot heel and toe. only got 2 pedals.

 

[6UE5t]

Left foot braker then. ;-)

 

[HuiChen]

heel toe for normal driving need? is this racing?

 

[RENESIS VIII]

One fine day. Or can just learn from Tom's video.

Left foot braker then. ;-)

You and your livina, hahaha

Not necessarily for racing only. It is for smoother downshifting while braking at the same time.

And Mark X.

 

[6UE5t]

Btw Tom, would be good also if you post your video driving cars with floating pedals so people can see if there's any differences for H&T when driving floor mounted and floating pedals.

 

[LimauKanker]

how i wish i can heel toe like master renesis, but im a lime.

 

[turnturtIe]

i wish i can heel toe too but im a turtle.
