When you downshift do you rev match? Google told me that its good, then later google said it was bad for the clutch. Google has also given me mixed answer on if in a manual trans car when coasting you use no gas and that the momentum of the car moves the pistons up and down.

I would think not rev matching would damage the clutch. I know it's a hell of alot smoother to rev match than just dump the clutch. As for the no gas when coasting thing, that probly depends on the car.

Down shifting you should always get the rpm up as not to blow up your clutch. Its just like reving too high and dumping the clutch.
As for coasting, if you are coasting you might as well just put in on the clutch and let it idle. Unless of course your are braking using your transmission. Then the car will actually move the pistons for the engine, however you are still using the gas that you would normally use in an idle state. So yes, you will still use gas. |

I didn't know matching was optional. Seems rather silly and uncomfortable not to match.

Agreed though paddle shifting is pretty awesome. Screw manual shifting |

You have SO much more control over your car if it's manual.
Don't knock it till you've tried it. |

You really just have to drive a manual to understand. Not to mention, manual transmissions are fun as hell. |

What !??!!? Your pistons are always moving up and down. If they weren't moving your motor would not be running. |

I would think keeping the car in gear while going downhill would use more gas than having the car in neutral. Lower RPMs means less gas.

If you are out of gear, the motor is just idling cause its not making the connection with the rest of the drivetrain.

to an extent.
also with a manual you can get far better gas mileage than with an automatic. Edited by evillepaintball - 17 July 2008 at 2:18am |

Rambs, your just a young kid who thinks its cool and bad ass to have a car thats manual. There is no need for a manual transmission car these days unless you want to look cool infront of your friends. When your coasting there is still fuel going into the engine. Same amount of fuel as when you are idling. Edited by .636 - 17 July 2008 at 2:38am |
