So I've been driving my automatic shitbox in manual shift

Driving manual is easy and those manual drive modes are shit it's okay senpai

>>15176137
>even tried rev matching just for shits and giggles even tho it's not even close, I just hit the gas really hard in gear before downshifting and it sort of works
Not how it works, rev matching would be done with the clutch pressed in BETWEEN gear shifts [think of that like being in neutral], not in gear.

Either way what you're doing will teach you about powerbands, appropriate revs and such but the difficulty in driving manual is 90% clutch. Those fake manual mods also won't let you stall or moneyshift.

I know that, that's why I had it's not even close.

I manual shift my automatic sometimes when I need the engine braking or when I need to escape the bordem that is driving a auto shitbox. Pretty sure doing that regularly will wear out the transmission though. Manually shifting an automatic is kind of an oxymoron.

Things that aren't actually true

Just drive a manual car OP

At least you want to learn some fundamentals, but you will never get the full experience without a 3rd pedal. My advise find a buddy or family member with a manual car and learn on it. Then find a low power car and get fully taught.

just keep driving an automatic, you don't need to hassle with changing gears every 1500 rpm

fuck i hate europe

>>15176137
No, see >>15176198
>the difficulty in driving manual is 90% clutch
Also, you need to memorize the movements to get into each gear as well as knowing how to pick right gear when you're not shifting sequentially - e.g. in 5th, lots of braking before intersection, but not completely stopped, wat gear?

>>15176137
>will this help ease my mindset in manual mode
No. No clutch, is there?

>>15176812
When in doubt, choose second under 15mph. Above that go third gear.

>>15176812
>Also, you need to memorize the movements to get into each gear
No, that's just floor the clutch; the only time you should be slipping it is starting from a stop.
> e.g. in 5th, lots of braking before intersection, but not completely stopped, wat gear?
Personally I'll brake in gear until a little above idle then either revmatch-downshift to something appropriate if I'll be moving again or just pop it into neutral the rest of the way if stopping. You'll figure out what's appropriate when with practice.

>upshift is forward and downshift is backwards

is this how all manumatic shifters are? why? that's kind of stupid IMO. having driven an actual sequential vehicle it makes more sense to pull back for upshift and push forward for downshift, right?

Wait, what's that + and - for?

>>15176137
Try mimicking clutch action as well. Usually it has comparatively very long travel with all the action happening when it's almost released. Jam your left foot in floor when braking and before shifts. Ease it out when rolling off and after shifts.

>forward now means "up"

>>15176880
Well then you're retarded, I never ever think of downshift as "forward". I think of it as "downshift".

>>15176891
You've clearly never driven a SQM then.

yeah, and what happens when you downshift from 3rd to 2nd or 5th to 4th retard?

Fucking retard

Manual is too much of a hassle for daily driving, get a manual weekend project car instead.

>>15177254
How retarded can you get? Too much hassle?

All you have to do is push a pedal and move your fucking arm

Try justifying that for everyday stop and go traffic during rush hour you underage faggot.

The ironic thing is youre probably closer to 12 than I am and most likely ride the bus.

Won't teach you anything about driving manual at all.

the hardest part is using two feet and two hands doing different things at the same time, which you can only learn by doing.

50% Clutch and 50% throttle control is more like it

Oh, and this body kit is available to reduce performance, but look at all those extra lights!

>>15176864
Basically all SMGs shift up by pulling towards you, it's faster. Reverse linkage motorcycle boxes are basically the only exception I can think of.
