How to use paddle shift

[350z89]

thanks for the video gramps. None of us knew how to use paddle shifters.

[MrBronx240]

do u have to use the clutch when in sports mode?

[asghernaqvi]

I wish the civics in the us came with paddle shifters

[DarkLightOX]

So it's basically manual/standard driving but just not having to use the clutch to shift?

[asghernaqvi]

@DarkLightOX correct

[Bestundesun]

Can I have paddle shifter on a 6 speed manual transmission ??

[Temptuous2112]

@Bestundesun Paddle shifters are basically two different types(Volkswagon makes a unique system) manual and automatic. Both systems act the same way to the driver, there is no clutch pedal in the car in either system. There is a clutch in the manual version and a manual gear box. Instead of the driver actuating the clutch pedal and manually shifting the gear box, hydraulic servos do the work when the paddle is depressed.

The automatic system is an automatic transmission with shifter.

[Bestundesun]

@Temptuous2112 Hi, Thanks a lot. So I was looking at options for Corolla. It has a 7-Speed CVT as well as a 6-speed Manual. So which one do I go for. The 7 Speed has a Paddle shifter but the 6-speed doesn't. But I was keen on the paddle shifters and I like the 6 speed more.

[Temptuous2112]

@Bestundesun I am not very familiar with the car, basically if the transmission is Auto the style of shifting is quite easy to change as long as you can find an aftermarket shifter that fits your requirements. If the transmission is manual it would have to come with a stock paddle shifter.

There might be a company that makes paddle shifters to convert manuals... If there is it is a daunting task, and the cost would be extreme to say the least.  The paddles would have to actuate servos.

[Temptuous2112]

@Bestundesun I sent you info on another video... it seems I spoke too soon. Yes there are aftermarket systems to change out a manual shift.

[Temptuous2112]

@Bestundesun I checked into this a bit, it seems the manual systems available still have a clutch pedal. The stock systems I have noticed use an servo to actuate the clutch also. Also I am not sure if there are any systems avaliable for your aplication although I haven't done much research since I am a fan of American V8's. Good luck!

[QuicksilverdotFX]

@Temptuous2112 Not all of them still use clutch pedal. Most paddle shifters actually releases the clutch and shifts for you. For a fan of American V8s, you should know this.

[Temptuous2112]

@Bestundesun No, unless it was specifically built for the vehicle. On a manual transmission you literally shift the gear box and depress the clutch, the paddles would have to be connected via wire to servos that actuated the clutch and gear box.

[jdogg5005]

Do you use the clutch still

[LunarDesk]

@jdogg5005 i dont think these semi autos have a clutch.

[ogirdor05]

automatic-gay

paddleshift-bi sexual

manual-straight

[TlGBC]

@ogirdor05 lol having to jerk off your car every few moments to get a better gear isn't gay? auto was dominating since the 50s, my friend.

[jamahzee]

@ogirdor05 what an ignorant person

[THEisaacG]

@ogirdor05 hahahaahahaha. GO uhMERICA

[punchmaster123]

Paddle shifters are cool and everything, but nothing beats a good ol' standard stick shift

[577666]

What the hell are you talking about? Do you work for Honda? How the hell do you get any job? This is pathetic. It is manual, not Manuel you idiot. You've been watching too much of Fawlty Towers when you were trying to learn English. Why do you keep u-turning - afraid you will forget your way home?

[EndlessVolleyballl]

Oh ok I see, so you put your Tampons where the Gearbox should be?

[Gibson2471]

thats what ive been wondering. how the fuck do you corner and shift

[papasniff1andonly]

hu?

[weiwei8899livemailtw]

and who needs a granny to teach me how

[NObama28]

Ok people, can you please just stop your arguing already. Automatic transmissions are convenient but are expensive and boring. Driving a stickshift is artful when done perfectly, and paddleshifters combine the best of both worlds. The ability to use auto for a regular drive or being able to use a sort-of manual transmission for fast acceleration and a fun driving experience. Plus you can downshift to slow down and use your brakes less. That said, I know how to drive stick, own an automatic, and

[Wafflez98]

Lmao he's Filipino

[adukes891]

I don't get it. What's the point of paddle shifters on a honda

[peejmanabat]

<this is your unkel boy speaking

[shoeb2015]

his pronunciation is awesome !!!!!!!!!!

maanuaal, atoomatically,nootral LOL!!!

[wrexplus]

Astegggggggggg para ka naring nasa ferrari at lamborghini

[v0n1b0]

I wish Sabine Schmitz would make this "How to,,," as she drives the M5 Ring Taxi.

[GARRYSTUFF]

This guy made me want to kill myself after he was done talking! Wish I could understand him!

[banddude121]

@GARRYSTUFF I can understand him perfectly lol

[betterdropdatdonk]

@GARRYSTUFF Damn are you from a small town or something? I bet when black people talk to you you're just like "Haha yeah..." LMFAO

[THEisaacG]

@betterdropdatdonk dude, i'm black and that's what I'M like.

[SupaAznn]

lololololol typical asian

[mrsteve1338]

paddle shit is sometimes way faster and soother than manual depending on the driver also when you shift it tells the engine to send you more torch so u get to speed faster

[secretmarksman]

and just when I thought people couldnt suck any more at driving. I thought not being able to drive stick was sad, but if you cant figure out a damn paddle shift auto, then just walk your ass to where you need to go.

[xduuuuuuud]

My country has the worst traffic sitiuation

N we hve the least numbers of automatics

Almost al are manual.

I guess we are all better drivers...!!!

[supertommy33]

@xduuuuuuud because Your poor country cant afford automatics. LOL

[xduuuuuuud]

@supertommy33 so automatic defines yoour standard of living huh.....it just says u are sissies.....

"OH I GOT TRAFFIC.....I GOTTA GET AN AUTOMATIC"....when u actually have none

your country is not anymore....taken over by everyone from around the world......

u fatasses are full of issues

LOL

[VOLTEER76]

Fuck stick shifts! There a horrible mess to drive when your in traffic.

[ValiSide]

Lol I know how to drive stick shift, but I'd take the paddle shift anyday, it's just so much more convenient for everyday driving espacially when you are in traffic, since you can just switch it to automatic. In the other hand, you can also have fun while in the sports mode with the paddle shifting.

[TLBxSaiyanify]

piece of shit

[03SilverMustangGT]

This guy is confusing the hell out of me, I'm used to a 5 speed stick.... a real one, WITH a clutch lol

[derbigpr500]

"How to cross the street in 12 steps"

[larrythes]

In F1 they don't have to take their hands off of the steering wheel, so it is easy for them to use paddles. In everyday cars you have to make full turns of the st.wheel and you cannot use the paddles. One hand on the wheel and the other on the stick it's better.

[TheZoelzer2]

@larrythes they have used sticks before, ive seen it.

[larrythes]

@TheZoelzer2 You mean in F1? Yeah, that's true. In Monaco GP they had to do more than 50shifts! Imagine how much time they gain with the no-delay paddle shifting! But again, they could turn with one hand without turning the steering wheel more than 180deg.

[TheZoelzer2]

@larrythes 100% correct. the thing i dont understand is why the car companys having changed the steering on cars to where its like f1. they dont even do 120deg.

[skyspydude1]

@larrythes that's why the car should have them on the wheel and not the column. then they are always accessible, even when turning the wheel

[larrythes]

@skyspydude1 Again, it's not that useful. Think that when you turn the wheel you must avoid to cross your hands. In tight road you must turn the wheel more than 180deg. That is why real sports cars have serial and manual gearboxes. We must not confuse F1 with sport cars.

[skyspydude1]

@larrythes There are plenty of sports cars with paddle shifters. Depending on the person, most can shift faster and smoother with a paddle shift system than a traditional manual.

[tnguyen318]

The future of shifting will be electronic push button shifting on the steering wheel. The back of the steering wheel will be the neutral buttons.

[capitalistpigdogus]

@tnguyen318 Thank god you're not allowed to design cars.

[tnguyen318]

Paddle shifters can act as neutral. 

[me2me23]

lol this is for people who don't know how to drive a true stick shift only automatic

[KkF00]

@me2me23

lol

[gman4eva9]

@me2me23 Race Car drivers use paddle shift

It's more efficient and is where technology is going. You can stuck in your old ways while the guy driving paddle shift will past you on the turn because he doesn't have to take his hand off the wheel

[secretmarksman]

@gman4eva9 really? more efficient? because last I checked, any automatic still uses a torque converter, which sacrifices its power to its fluid drive operation, where as a manual is a mechanical connection, obviously not capable of being 100% efficient in the real world, but pretty close.

[Femicide09]

@me2me23 Or this is for cars that are too fast to have a clutch, such as an Enzo, since a human being can't engage a clutch and shift up fast enough.

[colepabs]

filipino pride!

[joshfermin]

filipinos FTW

[rick664ath]

do u have to step on the cluthch or deacelerate? or just keep the pedal down and shift

[dawar20]

@rick664ath u dont have to do anything, it is reccomanded to take ur foot off the gas when ever shifting up or down but u can keep it on the gas if u want

[bshan94]

@rick664ath just keep the pedal down and shift

[xboxd83]

they should let us personalize our honda ratios to what we input using a computer and the cvt trans and still use the paddle shift "completely customizable trans with paddle shit" sound great hire me to be an engineer for honda

[clovagZv]

fuck paddle shifting are we really that fucking lazy

[thing503]

@clovagZv laziness really isn't the word. Developed would be more accurate. Paddle shifters are simply better performing. Notice how all of the racing applications use paddle shifters now? Formula one would be the best example because regular manual wasn't good enough. The drivers would not be able to keep up with the intense braking of today's machines if they were using manual.

[0TheTechGuy0]

@clovagZv yes we are lol maybe some people ant grasp the concept of standard drive

[powerfultoa7]

@clovagZv Tell that to a WRC rally driver, sheesh.

[clovagZv]

@powerfultoa7 Yeah but its there job to shift the fastest way possible.

[powerfultoa7]

@clovagZv As far as I know, most of them are using paddle shifters now as its quicker. -__-

[darthjerky]

@clovagZv not everyone like you sticks in the stone age with a clutch ;P

[valdaviper1]

just pull or push the paddle, it's not necessary to let off the gas. that's the whole point of no clutch..

[TapouT227]

do you let off the pedel with your foot when pressing the paddle shift or can you keep your feet acceleration on the peddle?

[mextijuas]

paddle shift in a honda civic? in what country is this? i live in the usa and my civic doest have them

[azndevo0l]

@mextijuas civic sports version, dont know if your country has it

[viperdio]

@mextijuas i believe this is in the Philippines

[geetumanikanik]

when shifting to a higher or lower gear.....do we need to keep pushing the gas or do we relaese the gas paddle when shifting????

[0987654321hotmail]

you get a faster shift if you let go of the gas and then step on it once you have changed gear but you dont have to.

[IceWaterInc]

when upshifting do you have to release the accelerator, then pull the paddle or can you just push the peddle all the way down and just pull the + sign when you reach the right revs?

[ithnkurcute]

great video, just recently got a honda city haven't really utilized it as of the moment.
