@BestCarSound it's not, but whn you'r clutch cable brokes somewhere what u do? a? it's good to know how to do this, but not to abuse this technique....
@DavidSlagter dude, when somebody pushes me i'll make shure the car is in neutral and when i get enough speed i'll force-it in second ;) who told u that the gear shifter does not work?the pedal does not work
@idlllle Nobody told me the gear shifter doesnt work, but forcing it in neutral, then in second isnt that great for the car. And it's not really practical having people push you every red light. Maby just call triple A when the pedal breaks?
You arent supposed to push it til it goes, theres a precise timing involved where you can just very gently (but quickly) push it into gear when the rpms of the input and output are perfectly even. I do it all the time but when I fuck it up I know my synchros took a hit. Once your synchros go you better have had enough practice because you'll have to do that every time from then on.
@fundles420 This is correct, once the speed of the synchro ring and the collar match, they will mech together with no need for excessive force, Witch is the opposite of what this tool was doing. But he had his minute of fame and we never have to see that again...
Clutch-less shifting should only be used in emergency cases. If your clutch pedal goes out due to a faulty throw out bearing or slave cylinder and you need to get to a destination. It will put major wear on your syncros, that's why they put the disclaimer in the beginning. :D
lol he jammed it in there... if done right, u cant rush it, and u should be able to lightly nestle it in with two fingers. u have to know ur gears well. u can also clutchless downshift which is simple to as long as u kno the correct rev match
@crazyboii069 Its not hard on the clutch, but bad for the syncronizer's...And the gears when you don't do it right, if it doesn't "fall into gear" and you have to put pressure on the stick, you're not "perfect shifting"...
Cmon everyone, get some competancies on the subject before posting... In fact, clutching constantly WILL eventually kill your clutch. Clutchless shifting wont damage anything of it, it's logic! It doesn't move, its always engaged. The only thing that can break is your forks, by aplying too much force on the shifter, or the gears if you get it in too slow or you press on the gas pedal a bit too soon.
people need to be informed... clutchless shifting is an option... an option to be stupid or to be smart... i think we all know the general population will be pickin' the stupid side, as for the others, the smart people, use it if u have to get from point A(wherever u are) to point B(a Shop) lets say your stupid clutch cuts loose... well then... use it and get there.... lmao... I laugh at thee who challenges their skills on clutchless and grinds their trannys....
the only thing he's doing wrong is not waiting for the rev's to drop. Even so there's truly little to no use to clutchless shifting. Although it is a good idea to let the rpm's drop a little as it saves wear and tear on your synchros and prevents dragging the clutch out as much
I did this by accident when I first started learning to drive manual went up to 3rd w/o realizing...ooops...but it didn't feel any different then with the clutch.
I think that means you did it right. Notice he had to use effort when he pushed it into the gear. From the other videos i got that it should slide in easily. I haven't tried this yet though so maybe not
@TrailBlazer5280 You shouldn't have to slam it in gear. You should be resting it at the shifter gate of whatever gear you're going into while the RPMs are dropping, then it should pretty much fall into gear with very small effort.
Regardless, you shouldn't do this unless you're over 45 years old and from a country in eastern Europe. For some reason they all know how to do that shit perfectly.
All the time you are trying to select the next gear you are beating the crap out of the synchro rings, if you rev match carefully the next gear engages easily. I suggest you only do this in an emergency, ie a broken clutch cable. I have twice driven cars home with no clutch where the owners did not know how to do it... both times it was me that ended up fixing them anyway (one had a faulty clutch master cylinder and the other a snapped clutch cable) in both cases the cars were at risk if left.
PART 1 no effort needed if u know how long to wait for before u push against that gear u wanna go in, i tried this for a whole damn day once going somewhere far for airsofting, but if u dont believe me, drive at 40 mph rev it a bit to about 3k rpm and pull ur gear lever toward 2nd, it wont go in but ur rpm does not drop, i swear to go try it, cus the 2 syncro piece try to stick to each other first and even out the speed before the lock in place which ur lever moves in
PART 2 but since 3k rpm in 2nd gear isnt enough for 40 mph the 2 syncro pieces just works like a slippy clutch and uses ur cars momentum to keep ur rpm stationary, but u do feel ur car bog down thou, if u try to feel it, so u really have to know what ur doing by knowing the gap of rpm in between each gear so u wait for the right timing to push it in with out force but as quickly as u can so u catch the 2 syncros at the same time, if u do it slow, it will grind
PART 3 if u push it against the next gear right away like what this guy is doing, u will make the 2 syncros rub and wear it out like a slippy clutch, say u r in 2nd make sure ur on the gas or else dont try to pull it out to N cus ur syncros r on load, give it a light tap on the gas if ur not on it, then wait less than half a second is ur chance to pull it out to N when ur rpm drops and is no longer pushing the car nor dropped too much and starts to slow the car
PART 4 each car has different gear ratios in each gear so for how long to wait in between gears is up to u to discover, still thou, dont do it, this is just what i discovered trying it myself, and btw i knocked a teeth out of one of the 3rd gear syncros, cus they thinned out because i push on it too early all the time, thats because i didnt know what i was doing, "didnt"
i can shift without a clutch and shift with my thumb, but its stupid and i use the clutch bc its there for a reason...oh and why were u shifting at 4000? just tacking it up a little? for normal driving i shift at like 2000 to 2500, just saying.
not really that impressive drive standard diesels all day i can now shift anything car or truck without the clutch its all in the gas pedal and know when to shift but not a good idea like most people on here say
@carguytwinturboSTi your name is carguytwinturbosti and you dont think you are cool. What twin turbo sti do you drive? It must be fast! Maybe if I take the single 6262 off my evo and put two it will make more power? lol dumbass
NIGGGA SHUT DA FUK UP U LIL PUSSY WAT U DRIVE A LIL EVO 8 NOT A MREVO 9 MR FUKN FAG IT A EVO 9 MR WITH TWIN TURBOS WILL B JUST ASS FAST A STI TWIN TURBOS U GOT 2 HAVE A GOOD DYNO GUY LIKE ME 2 MAKE 1200HP CUM 2 NY BITCH ILL HOOK UR CAR UP N SHOW U HOW 2 DRIVE WITH NO CLUTCH
@carguytwinturboSTi Hey lets see some videos of your twin turbos. You type like your either an illiterate middle schooler or a retard on acid. Why don't you settle the fuck down.
@carguytwinturboSTi dude you have no idea what you are talking about...if your sti is so fast I should have seen it at the showdown at e town. Im glad you living your keyboard life makes you happy. Do some research and see that there is no difference between a built evo 8 or 9mr. The mr actually has a weak tranny making it less of a favorite at the track.
Could you please learn how to speak/type before you comment again you're not doing your self any favours in attempt to win the argument with steveeeeboi.
People prefer people who understand regular english. Please go back to school and actually pay attention.
First off...all the synchronizers do is prevent gear clash when shifting. The assembly has a tapered blocker ring that causes friction to bring the input and output shaft or a gear and shaft to the same speed so that when you shift you don't get clash. If you don't press the clutch (which pushes the pressure plate to lift the clutch disc off the flywheel) then the input shaft is still spinning at engine speed (rpm) so when you let off the gas and it starts slowing down and meeting the output
I rareley use the clutch if I can get away with it. Its not an issue for the gearbox if you do it right, in fact, it preserves the clutch, I guess/ I dont do it to be cool. I do it because Im too lazy to lift my left leg....wow, thats lazy. I do it whilst towing a large trailer for my job...too easy
hey i do this sometimes when im to lazy to use my cluching foot. if your gentle and change with less reves it will be way smoother than this. if you free wheel in neutral and gently rev the car as your gently pushing ur knob into gear you wil feel the gear engaging. this would probably be hand for someone who has blown a clutch and has to get home.
lmao.... u dont have to force it... all you need to do is just press slowly where the stick should go (next gear) and when its ready it will pop in...
its not that hard. I do it myself on occasion. if its done properly and often, it can save wear on your clucth. However if done improperly it can really mess up the syncros. Only people who know what they're doing in manual transmission cars should do this, obviously a novice should learn with the clutch before attempting this.
@podpit::: It all about the make and model car testers normally dont know much about how the car works just as long as it does work... car testers normally just check the dash to make sure its soft... yeah cause thats what I think about when I get in a car not.. just look at car reviews its funny what they check.... i want a car i can work on drives nice and is safe is that to much to asks for i guess so
He did it right for the most part, but it's safer if you're gental with the shifter. Instead of pulling it into gear hard like he did, just let off the gas and pull gently while the RPMs drop. When they drop to the appropiriate level, it will pop right in. No forceful pulling neccessary.
@WoWMae omg you obviously have no idea... It's not semi-automatic, in which is clutchless , it's MANUAL, it has the freaking clutch for a reason!!!! stupid youtube smartasses...
If done correctly, clutchless shifting is not hard on the transmission BUT before you troll me, consider the following:
(1.) in an unsynchronized trans (trucks+old cars), clutchless shitfting either works or it doesn't: therefore, you know when you're rev matching correctly-not wearing the trans.
(2.) in a synchronized trans (most cars), even if you rev match, the synchros will compensate for discrepancy, so even if it's smooth, you could still be wearing synchros.
But I will say, this is a skill that comes in handy from time to time.
The master cylinder for the hydraulic clutch died on my truck and I was able to drive it a couple of miles to a shop instead of paying a ridiculous amount of money to a towing service.
I can't understand what all the fuss is about, it's like "speed shifting" is something new well it's not. Racers and motorcycle riders have been doing it forever. If it's done right it's actually recomended for motorcycles, I only use my clutch for going into first and downshifting.
if your clutch goes out , your car wont move so this technique wont benefit you.....in racing trannys the dog teeth have huge spaces so they pretty much just bang in to gear,with these trannys the spaces are very close and if theres a speed diff theres just not enough time for the teeth to get in so they grind together
You know, if you rev matched perfectly while clutchless shifting, you would have no wear at all to your clutch, nor synchros. However, that's pretty damn unlikely as you would have to rev match to the exact rpm and you have a clutch for a reason, use it.
if you slowly push the stick in gear while givin i a little gas the gear will pop right in with out damaging your bearings like what he is doing with this volvo. if he did this 10 15 more times his gears with start chirping(grinding) when he goes into gear.
The clutch serves a major purpose regardless, in that it grants you the ultimate control over your vehicle. Not only will "Clutchless" shifting cause you to grind the gears, but it also relegates your vehicle control level to that of an Automatic.
Clutchless shifting is possible, but it'll wear out your transmission much faster.
While shifting with clutch in, synchro rings easily match the speed of the free-wheeling gear shaft to the engine rpm.
But if you shift without the clutch, and don't match rpm correctly, the little synchro ring will force the engine rpm and complete 1.5-ton vehicle speed to match up... That'll work... a few times... and then you get to pay for a towtruck ride and a tranny rebuild...
Only if you have Michael Schumacher levels of talent, you won't run your gear box while doing this. As you'll need to shift the gear at exactly the right rpm to get a smooth shift. It works better with straight cut gears than helical gears (i.e. if you have a noisy racing gearbox instead of the quieter helical gearbox). But then the racing gearboxes only are intended to be used for a couple of races and so this sorta shifting works in race cars.
For those who are - with good reason - why you would want to know how to do this, imagine your clutch pedal going dead. Broken linkage or cable - doesn't matter why, you have clutch function but you can't disengage it. You can call for a tow$, or you can start it in first (lurch) and then just shift at the appropriate rpm. It's really not hard - your transmission will slide into gear when the rpm/gear speed syncs. The worst part is catching red lights and having to stop and start again. : )
like on this video he pushes hard and the synchros are rubbing trying to match an engine and the weight of the car....i would use clutch unless u can do it perfect until it engages...thats lot of heat
well u can get things very hot doing this with synchros,becuz you may not hear grinding but ur synchros are rubbing so unless you can just snap it in on the first try at exact rpm. i drove like that for maybe 20 min around town and tranny got hot acted funny for awhile
I love all the nay sayer on here that are against a clutch-less shift just because they WANT to believe its bed for the tranny. In fact if you get good enough and know the exact RPM your engine will be at when you go into the next gear, your syncros actually dont need to work at all. A clutch just provides a more comfortable to drive car. That and you need it to get going from a dead stop. Doing a poor clutch-less shift though is just like missing a gear. Over time, yes, it will do harm.
i wouldnt do that a whole lot what it does is slams the clutch into gear which is bad on the motor, clutch and trans. there is a clutch for a reason. that is to ease into the gears with minimal wear on the drivetrain. dont ever do this in transmissions with syncros.!
@WTFGUY956 dont think so... it might be cool the whole "synchor rev match" concept, but it only goes into effect when down-shifting, and they give you a clutch peddle for a reason... DONT DO THIS!!!! if you want to shift with out a clutch its called AUTOMATIC transmission.
i have been doing this for years, was shown by ex girlfriends father. (master mechanic). works best if you take foot out of gas.lol pull shifter to gear you want keep rpms at about 1700-2ooo. Not 4,000 as shown here. the only time i use the cluch is getting out of first. but i have mastered up and down shifting. almost all maunauls have "auto sincros'. if done properly you will have no problem and you will save the life of your cluch.
@tiball358 there seems to be arguments for both sides here. im buying my first civic in a couple of days ive only drivin a standard two or three times for a couple of mins. id like to learn how to master all ways of shifting through the gears though. so your saying that all you have to do is know your ride?
@stanzibritovsky First , with a civic 5 speed manual. you NEED to learn from somebody how to opperate the clutch. doing this will give you greater understanding of the opperation of power shifting.
Whoa, nice work stressing the transmission. If you do it right, it SHOULDN'T take more effort moving the gearshift than it would if you'd press the clutch.
@eltotoX Not at all. It depends on the car, the syncro design and the stick linkage. On my car it's super smooth but on my friend's car it's hard to engage the gears.
Yes indeed your totally right it almost pops in to the gear by it self but you abviously have to have some feeling for how a manual gearbox works and ofcourse he doesn't
It depends on the amount of the synchro rings on the gearbox. There could be 1-6 synchro rings on one gear in the gearbox. The more there is synchrorings, the smoother is the movement on the gearstick, but when theres lesser synchro rings, it's faster to change. And ofcourse how have they worn up matters too when changing without a clutch.
clutchless shifting is perfectly fine for your car provided you do it right. it lessens the wear on on your clutch. truck drivers do it all the time because trust me, you dont want to change a clutch on a big rig
lol truck drivers do it because trucks dont have syncros..... and it will fuck a car with a normal gearbox as they have syncros.... their is a reason why they but the cluch in your car!
the point is: If your clutch is like completley gone or just gone lol yea do that; just make sure to rev the engine a bit more than regular otherwise you'll destroy it....you're damaging the trans. but it works =p
actually its perfectly fine. lessens wear on your clutch. doesn't damage anything at all. when shifting normally clutch is only used to match engine speed with transmission speed. just let off the gas a little bit when doing clutchless and all is perfect.
I know what you're talking about...I personally have tried it at a slow RPM and at a faster one. Everyone has different opinions on how to do it. I prefer to rev my engine if I'm shifting clutchless just because then I have smaller resistance on the stick.
i dont think it will mess up your tranny at all(unless you just jam it in the gear of course,which if you did that you're just an idiot anyway...)if you do it right or close to it you will save your clutch but wear out your synchros...its a good skill to know just in case something happens and you have to do it though...
Is there any point on doing this? I´ve seen that the great McRae shifted without the clutch, but in a secuencial rally gearbox so maybe is not the same.
Is this a good technique or better to use the clutch?
Pretty much the only point is if you're lazy and wanna look cool.
It's better for the transmission if you do use the clutch, but it's not like doing it a couple times is gonna destroy your transmission (unless you're REALLY bad at it).
I have a 1995 Ford Contour and I only use the clutch for taking off. I never use the clutch after words. I had the car 3 years and I'm pretty sure it won' t hurt anything as long as you don't grind the gears. What do you think? Is it OK to do this? I down shift with out the clutch too even to first gear. I never grind the gears at all.
no its not idiot.. power shifting is when you shift while still floored. you never take your foot off the gas. You can fuck your transmission doing this "clutchless shifting" crap
"Clutchless Shifting" Is a method used by motorcyclists or cars with sequencial gearboxs where they apply a little pressure to change gear, blip the gas and it goes into gear without harming the transmission at all, it is encouraged... however when you apply brute force to change gear ussually under acceleration this is powershifting - I know this because i attend race meets with my superbike and we discuss these things
Yeah this is true. my dad is a truck driver and he does this. its less wear and tear on the clutch. he does it will all 16 gears not including 1st and reverse of coarse
Actually Diesel trucks are all driven like this. All you do is match the RPM's and there wont be any damage. In a 89 tracker the RPM difference is 500RPM and you will have a smooth shift. This can be done in any car and its how i drive all the time as it actually increases efficiency.
Okay, but you said "and then a week later his poor little BMW died" so that's the conflict. BTW I am not a TRUCK DRIVER yet and if thats the only come back you have that soldifies your age. Upload a video of your BMW and I will upload a video of mine. Make sure to have a sign with your YouTube name so we know your not ripping someone else's video off. Just with your comment I can't tell your way younger then 49 y/o I'm thinking 15-17tops.
... Sure m8. Get your facts straight :p You can do it with cars or motorcycles, and for the latter it has been proven to not be damaging at all, unless you screw up yourself.
i own a srt4 where the trannys are already shit and weak im not gonna ram it into gear without the clutchha

you can also downshift without using a clutch but that is more difficult because you have to rev it up instead of letting it slow down
InfamousAdio69 1 year ago
shaft speed you can smoothly shift...it also helps if you know your gear ratios because then you can pinpoint where your rpm's need to be
InfamousAdio69 1 year ago
First off...all the synchronizers do is prevent gear clash when shifting. The assembly has a tapered blocker ring that causes friction to bring the input and output shaft or a gear and shaft to the same speed so that when you shift you don't get clash. If you don't press the clutch (which pushes the pressure plate to lift the clutch disc off the flywheel) then the input shaft is still spinning at engine speed (rpm) so when you let off the gas and it starts slowing down and meeting the output

its not that hard. I do it myself on occasion. if its done properly and often, it can save wear on your clucth. However if done improperly it can really mess up the syncros. Only people who know what they're doing in manual transmission cars should do this, obviously a novice should learn with the clutch before attempting this.

motorhead992 1 year ago
He did it right for the most part, but it's safer if you're gental with the shifter. Instead of pulling it into gear hard like he did, just let off the gas and pull gently while the RPMs drop. When they drop to the appropiriate level, it will pop right in. No forceful pulling neccessary.

If done correctly, clutchless shifting is not hard on the transmission BUT before you troll me, consider the following:
(1.) in an unsynchronized trans (trucks+old cars), clutchless shitfting either works or it doesn't: therefore, you know when you're rev matching correctly-not wearing the trans.
(2.) in a synchronized trans (most cars), even if you rev match, the synchros will compensate for discrepancy, so even if it's smooth, you could still be wearing synchros.
conclusion: not worth it

I can't understand what all the fuss is about, it's like "speed shifting" is something new well it's not. Racers and motorcycle riders have been doing it forever. If it's done right it's actually recomended for motorcycles, I only use my clutch for going into first and downshifting.

kingnick022 1 year ago
if your clutch goes out , your car wont move so this technique wont benefit you.....in racing trannys the dog teeth have huge spaces so they pretty much just bang in to gear,with these trannys the spaces are very close and if theres a speed diff theres just not enough time for the teeth to get in so they grind together
thereborn18 1 year ago
You know, if you rev matched perfectly while clutchless shifting, you would have no wear at all to your clutch, nor synchros. However, that's pretty damn unlikely as you would have to rev match to the exact rpm and you have a clutch for a reason, use it.
lovesthebass 1 year ago
OK listen
if you slowly push the stick in gear while givin i a little gas the gear will pop right in with out damaging your bearings like what he is doing with this volvo. if he did this 10 15 more times his gears with start chirping(grinding) when he goes into gear.
turkboydx1905 1 year ago
The clutch serves a major purpose regardless, in that it grants you the ultimate control over your vehicle. Not only will "Clutchless" shifting cause you to grind the gears, but it also relegates your vehicle control level to that of an Automatic.
GUMMYBEAYUH 1 year ago
a necessity in bike racing
tjohn1986 1 year ago
Clutchless shifting is possible, but it'll wear out your transmission much faster.
While shifting with clutch in, synchro rings easily match the speed of the free-wheeling gear shaft to the engine rpm.
But if you shift without the clutch, and don't match rpm correctly, the little synchro ring will force the engine rpm and complete 1.5-ton vehicle speed to match up... That'll work... a few times... and then you get to pay for a towtruck ride and a tranny rebuild...
fenderbaum2 1 year ago
Only if you have Michael Schumacher levels of talent, you won't run your gear box while doing this. As you'll need to shift the gear at exactly the right rpm to get a smooth shift. It works better with straight cut gears than helical gears (i.e. if you have a noisy racing gearbox instead of the quieter helical gearbox). But then the racing gearboxes only are intended to be used for a couple of races and so this sorta shifting works in race cars.
In normal cars, you'll ruin your gear box!
tracingspirals 1 year ago
For those who are - with good reason - why you would want to know how to do this, imagine your clutch pedal going dead. Broken linkage or cable - doesn't matter why, you have clutch function but you can't disengage it. You can call for a tow$, or you can start it in first (lurch) and then just shift at the appropriate rpm. It's really not hard - your transmission will slide into gear when the rpm/gear speed syncs. The worst part is catching red lights and having to stop and start again. : )

I love all the nay sayer on here that are against a clutch-less shift just because they WANT to believe its bed for the tranny. In fact if you get good enough and know the exact RPM your engine will be at when you go into the next gear, your syncros actually dont need to work at all. A clutch just provides a more comfortable to drive car. That and you need it to get going from a dead stop. Doing a poor clutch-less shift though is just like missing a gear. Over time, yes, it will do harm.

is there a reason for this or does it just depends on the tranny?
jan585 2 years ago
It depends on the amount of the synchro rings on the gearbox. There could be 1-6 synchro rings on one gear in the gearbox. The more there is synchrorings, the smoother is the movement on the gearstick, but when theres lesser synchro rings, it's faster to change. And ofcourse how have they worn up matters too when changing without a clutch.

actually its perfectly fine. lessens wear on your clutch. doesn't damage anything at all. when shifting normally clutch is only used to match engine speed with transmission speed. just let off the gas a little bit when doing clutchless and all is perfect.

I know what you're talking about...I personally have tried it at a slow RPM and at a faster one. Everyone has different opinions on how to do it. I prefer to rev my engine if I'm shifting clutchless just because then I have smaller resistance on the stick.

i dont think it will mess up your tranny at all(unless you just jam it in the gear of course,which if you did that you're just an idiot anyway...)if you do it right or close to it you will save your clutch but wear out your synchros...its a good skill to know just in case something happens and you have to do it though...
