How To Drive an Automatic Car in Manual Mode

Support the channel: www.lyvstyl.com
Ever wondered how to drive an automatic car in manual mode? What's it even there for? Do you have to take your foot off the gas in manual mode on an automatic car? These are all questions I asked, and I'm sure many of you have asked yourselves! I have an exhaust on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and though it is the 3.6L v6 engine it is still fun to downshift and get a little bit more response out of the exhaust. Now, I hardly ever drive with my car in manual mode, most of the time it's just in standard "drive" automatic mode. Sometimes it is fun to switch it up and do some downshifts under bridges etc for a little bit more sound. If you have the paddle shifters you would have a lot more fun than without them, which I may be installing on the channel soon.... stay tuned!

The others go way off in technical-land to explain and I need a ‘visual demo’ as BJP just did in this video. BTW - ‘dump GoPro’ go with any other camera due ‘failures in battery life’. Keep doing great videos like this to help us understand and most importantly….. LEARN!

    Thank you for taking the time to show us how to drive in manual with an automatic transmission. I have the exact same transmission in my Elantra and I would love to drive it in manual, but I don’t know how to shift it, as in where is first and second. I know where 3rd or drive is, just by tapping/pushing it left when in drive, but I really need to know where the other gears are, so I’m doing it properly. I couldn’t see you shifting in the video unfortunately.

    One thing to note is that manual mode acts as a gear limiter. Whichever gear you select, it will prevent upshifts but can still downshift on its own as needed all the way down to a stop. From my experience with Toyotas, if you pop it over to manual mode while driving, it is like disabling overdrive in older cars that predate manual mode. For 6-speeds, it usually defaults to 4th gear. From there you can go up or down as you wish. My 2005 Camry 6-speed auto has 3, 2, and L after D. There’s also an O/D switch on the side of the shifter which is a stand in for 4th. I basically have control of all gears except for 5th which isn’t a big deal but I’ve found specific throttle inputs that can influence the computer to go to 5th and not 6th or 4th if I’m going uphill at a certain speed.

    Awesome vid, I just bought a 2020 Mazda3 awd hatch and I have never seen a Manual mode in vehicles until I bought it. The shifter in your jeep is literally identical to the Mazda. I have been testing it out but this helps put things in perspective kinda, still a little unsure about downshifting but I do know not to go to 1st if vehicle is going to fast which seems like anything over 15mph lol.

    Thanks for all the great videos. I think you can change the steering wheel settings so it shows what gear its in when in DRIVE. It should show "P", "R", "N", "D", "1-8" even if not in manual mode. That way you can see what gear it's in when the RPM's change and take note at about what speed it changed. Also, you need to slow down... I see your rear wing spoiler and bumper sticker from WISH flew off, lol. Keep up the good work!

When I change gear I take my foot off the accelerator for about a second since there is still a clutch engaging between changes. If I keep my foot on the accelerator and change gear my car loses revs between each gear change.

    I have a Volvo with a 5-speed automatic, and I find that manual mode is basically an automatic transmission, where you can tell it what gear to be in. I find it useful in 2 cases, both because a car with an automatic transmission tends to accelerate and shift into its highest gear, and sometimes you don't want it to. One case is going downhill; it's useful to switch it over to Manual, and kick it down one gear, so it stays higher in the rev range, and uses engine braking, so you can control the speed with the accelerator pedal. The other case is when you get stuck behind The Person Who Won't Drive Over 40km/h (who I always catch up to, no matter where I'm driving) The car wants to speed up to about 60km/h, so to avoid repeatedly hitting the brakes, so you don't crash into the car ahead of you, just pop it over into Manual Mode, and select a gear appropriate for the speed the person ahead of you has (inexplicably) chosen. This at least makes it fun to drive your car far below the speed limit. I don't find it useful for upshifting, going through the gears like you would with a manual transmission, and frankly, you can't outperform the computer, choosing the optimal time to shift. Sorry buddy, you've been replaced by a machine. The only thing it can't do, that you can do better, is look ahead and anticipate. Like when the highway undulates downhill, and there's a curve at the bottom, so you don't want to be hitting the brakes as you enter the curve. You can manual-shift it down a gear, and use engine braking so the car doesn't speed up, and you're already going the right speed when you reach the curve

Im not really sure when I’m going straight tho it’s always 2-2.5k rpm’s is when it shifts.

    Driving an automatic transmission car in manual mode is actually really fun. You get to go through your rpms as much as you want and makes the car more enjoyable to drive. Just got a automatic transmission 2014 Chrysler 200s with manual mode and its awesome. It gets and goes. Not bad for a 3.6L v6. If your someone with a disability or other health problem but can still drive without the clutch it comes pretty handy for someone that still wants to enjoy a manual like feel.

    Mine is a 2011 Hemi with the 545RFE 5-speed. That thing was quite clunky when it's in manual mode, and it honestly works more like a gear range selector than an actual manual transmission. The downshifts are a bit tricky and undetectable since the car would slow itself down attempting to match the gear it's going into, feels almost like I'm bogging the engine. Though it's good for winter driving since it works like an engine brake where you wouldn't need the brakes to slow down

    With manual mode, I try to keep the car running between 1.5K and 2.5K RPM, which suggest fourth gear on my six speed automatic with sport mode if I am going 40 MPH at fastest between signal lights. The computer would not allow me to use sixth gear, anyway, even if I wanted to. Fifth gear is rarely the fastest gear that I use. It's normally either sixth gear if I am driving fast on the highway or fourth gear if I am only driving in town between signal lights. What I like about manual mode in automatic transmissions is that I get to apply high gear limits without overusing lower gears for in town driving. I have driven a four speed automatic overdrive transmission in its D3 mode for in town driving to 40 MPH at fastest and even then, it seemed too noisy for me, but that was only because D3 mode would hold second gear for way too long before shifting into third. D3 would not shift into third until around that same speed when D4 would shift into fourth, which defeated the purpose of why I would pick D3 over D4. That D3 was not designed just to block out fourth gear for in town driving. It was designed more for limiting my speed in conditions when I would need to be in lower gears, not to exceed 50 MPH and I can hold second gear at around 30 MPH in D3, but I wanted the car to shift to third gear much quicker. That is why I left it in D4. I have never driven a six speed automatic with high gear limits, except in manual mode, where the number, displayed on my gauges shows the actual gear that I am in. That is the only reason why I would use low numbers. Otherwise, I would just stick with higher numbers if those represented high gear limits and not the actual gear that I am in. Lately, I have only been driving in town, 40 MPH at fastest, from signal light to signal light, so that is probably not the place to use the sixth gear of a six speed automatic as a high gear limit. I'd be going too slow for sixth gear, anyway. What if we have a six speed automatic where we can use fourth or fifth gear as a high gear limit and just let the machine shift all the lower gears on its own? Would it hold lower gears longer or would it shift like normal and just leave out the top gears? All cars are different.

    I put my 8 year old automatic into manual for the first ever and by accident. Driving through the lot leaving work, something didn't feel right. I pulled out onto the street picking up speed to 25 mph, car felt heavy, loud engine, and high RPM. Something was definitely wrong. I made a U-turn and drove back to the lot with emergency lights. Looked around noticed the gear was set into M instead of D. Doh! My previous car was a real manual with clutch. I would never drive an automatic in manual mode but was worried that I put unnecessary wear on the engine. Seems gimmicky if I can say so myself. Glad to know there are fail-safes if I had floored it on the street instead of turning back.

    For someone who has an older auto, with a torque converter, a few things to know if you decide to take control over a conventional auto. There is something called torque converter shudder or warping, do not lock it in a gear and over rev. This causes excessive damage to the torque converter and u will feel it shudder hard getting close to the rev limiter. Some conventional autos will not like using the towing gears to shift. My 1997 cougar with a 4 speed slush box and o/d allows me to select every gear manually but 4th and it does it smoothly, I can even downshift smoothly to second with a little gas, but don't reccomend going from 3-1 or 4-2, that's how u strip gears, and never neutral drop. I've seen this trend around and it's stupid to say the least. Your torque converter has a set stall, just apply the breaks, add a little bit of gas until u start to feel ur wheels spin, that's where ur stall is and u want to launch right before that. Never rev an auto in neutral then throw it into drive, if u don't destroy the trans the first time it still will cause major damage. Also if u have a dual clutch auto, without launch control, be weary of applying the breaks and accelerator for long, you will burn up your clutches quick, if u want launch control for your dual clutch, dct, whatever its best to get that tuned onto it instead of causing damage forcing it to do what it's not designed for.

Today I drove it and the shifter went into that inner notch without me noticing it then when I got home I tried to put it park and it wouldn't move, took me 5 minutes to figure out that TWO position shifter placement, I had to just slide the sifter towards passenger side a little THEN the shifter slide right into park........
