Offtop question: In my BMW, when I’m starting off, the shifter is shaking a lot. Why?
Just one question, when you downshift, the revs tend to get higher. Can you brake the engine by doing, like, 120KM/H on 5th (around 3.5 k RPM), then to 2nd?
I’ve never skip gears when I shift to upper gears, only done when I tried to downshift though, and yes rev matching would really help if you do this. But seriously, its bugging me that people skip gears while upshifting, like why on earth, would you do that?
Funny! I always thought reving while shifting gears is newbie thing… I mean it often happened to me when I was learning how to drive Sometimes I just happened to push clutch before I took my leg off accelerator
Shift properly or your car’s chi will be out of balance.
As he has a BMW, He should do a video show BMW drivers how to use turn signals!
I watched this video and tried shifting from 5th to 2nd on the freeway…and my engine made a horrible noise and won’t start anymore. Did I do something wrong?$?$
My driving instructor told me that as long you go in order 2-4-6 or 3-5 while rev matching you should be fine, but the tranny may suffer more wear
You can skip gears, the engine nor transmission does not care as long as you rev match.

so basically rev match and you’re fine
