this thread is retarded, you don't have to shift if you're creeping and you don't have to rev match when you upshift.

The real reason they're offering FWD is because it is inherently cheaper than RWD to manufacture since the engine, transmission and often the front portion of the frame is a single assembly. Knowing BMW they'll probably price their FWD models the same as their equivalent RWD ones too for dem higher profit margins. You know, since the normies that buy them aren't going to give two shits about drive line layout and more about the badge on the hood.

It really depends what speed you're creeping at. Are you just using 2nd the whole time?

Traffic is usually pretty fucking slow like 10kph max. What the fuck are you driving that needs 2nd for that? Way to fall for the short and low gearing meme. Should of just got something with more power or an automatic if you need to shift that much in traffic..

American here, so that would be roughly 6.2 mph. I don't know what kind of traffic you have, but where I am, it can fluctuate from a miserable crawl to speeds which do require a shift into 2nd.

It literally is rev matching. It's engaging the engine to the wheels when the revs match the wheelspeed. That's rev match.

If you just let the clutch out as soon as you possibly can when hammering it, you get a gay as fuck lurch as you violently slam the clutch together and the engine drops 2,000 rpm in a quarter of a second.

Idiots. Also, are you implying there aren't many retards on this board (17108314)? Rev matching reduces wear on clutch because it avoids any friction/slip between the disks. Also, it feels better. ALSO, what do you mean by "wait for the revs to drop back down"? All of the cars I have let the revs drop down very quickly. Get a better car.

Sometimes I prefer manual in traffic. Staying in first or second depending on traffic is no problem, and you don't have to use the brake as often because of engine braking when the car in front of you slows down.

>>17108985
>Rev matching reduces wear on clutch because it avoids any friction/slip between the disks
No one is disputing the benefits of rev matching in general. It's just not necessary when upshifting.

>Also, it feels better
I literally feel zero jerkiness when I shift from 2nd to 3rd and just let off the clutch. I've done this with two different Civics and they both reached very high miles with original clutch. You're creating a problem that isn't there.

>tfw bored 1 hour into traffic so i take pictures of that gorgeous svt raptor a few cars ahead of me

>>17102457
>don't have to shift
yeah, the clutch and second gear is fine

Do I let off the throttle after or right before stepping on the clutch?

Right now I try to smoothly (but not entirely) let it off because i dont want it to engine-brake jerk, but I don't know how much wear I might be doing to the clutch this way if the RPMs may still be too high.

Is it bad to have any throttle at all while changing gears? I'm starting to experiment with giving a tiny throttle when I release the clutch shifting to 2nd gear so it doesn't engine brake instantly too, otherwise it gets jerky as fuck. Other option is to release the clutch more slowly, no throttle, but then that means I'm riding the clutch longer so which way is better for minimal wear?

>>17109076

Mfw thinking about not rev matching after red lining it through first and second gear then just dropping it into third after getting off the throttle.

Different anon, pretty much crawling all the time, might depend on the location, but you have to remember the US is, for all intents and purposes, a fairly recent country, that could more easily be built for modern standards. For instance, over here a sizable part of the road structure is adapted from old pathways, some decades or even centuries old. Add to this how crowded Europe has been for the past centuries, and what's available for roads ends up being too narrow for current traffic. Even in a main city in my country, you'll be hard pushed to find any street or avenue wider than 2 lanes. Move to highways and the ones more than 3 lanes wide are also scarce (in fact they've only been built in the last 10 years or so). Now move your american traffic, or something pretty close to it, into our roads, and you can imagine the results. It's not because of a design choice, it's that there is a true lack of real estate here.

That being said, it does move enough to have to engage 2nd at times, and it's nowhere near as infuriating as you make it to be.
