This is the best demonstration I've seen because you didn't talk for hours, you just did it

getting an 04 350z roadster this really helped me during test drive cause when they ask me if i knew how to drive stick all i knew was this video that i watched for 5 minutes lol drove off lot smoothly

I've been driving my WRX for about 2 years and I always press the clutch to the floor when I engage or shift gears. When I got my g35, I am doing the same thing but I stall alot or rough engagement. Thank God I found this video. I thought if you don't press the clutch in all the way to shift, the gears will grind, but I guess not. You've changed the way I drive.

Im an old dude who just bought an 06 G35 6MT. This video should be mandatory. Thanks!

The clutch biting point on my g37 is right at the top as well, However Im glad that I started learning by pressing the clutch all the way in. Now after a week and a half learning manual im starting to get more comfortable with it and pressing the clutch in part way for faster shifts. It really only needs to get pressed in about halfway to be completely released from the pressure plate.Whatever works for someone. For me stalling the car about 100 and something times has worked well to not want to stall anymore. My second day in a manual was a commute in bay area rush hour traffic. It was a rough ride with a lot of bucking. That's changed and now 1st gear is reasonably smooth for a manual. The g37s been stalled over 100 times for sure and doesn't seem to mind.. Its got 177k running very strong. My 03 g35 auto with 150k ran very well when I sold it recently too.

Nice . I pick mine up in the am .. ready to play .. 1st time owning a 6speed.... btw thx your video helped me get a better feel for the clutch and release.

Thanks bro i just got my first manual this video helped alot brother

Good video! I need to practice downshifting and knowing what gear to pick if I put it in neutral.

This is the best way to explain how to drive manual

I keep coming back, different account this time, but i just like watching your videos. Love hearing that exhaust.

I notice your temp gauge is just below normal... my car does the same thing and trends down some them floats back up. I let the car sit on a warm day 85+ at idle with the AC on and I notice the temps went up above the normal mark just a little but not Hot but hotter than normal. I have just bought a new thermostat and fluid from the dealer just in case ... do you have a video on that topic sir? Thanks.

So would you say coming off a light, reving to about 2K, 2100 rpms is a good catch point for the car? Does that make for a smoother transition into motion? I just got my first 350Z a few days ago after driving underpowered inline 4s for the past 8 years. I'm absolutely not used to how high the clutch catch point is on the transmission, and I'm having to relearn a lot of techniques to properly operate this thing lol! Awesome work on your videos!

I learned how to drive stick in my Nismo 370 but it was a a lot of trial and error, especially since the CSC goes out in the VQ's I was always nervous that I would break something. I'm 9 months in and so far so good, don't stall it anymore but I still use the synchro rev match for down shifts, i'm a cheater lol

@MotordyneG35

7 жыл бұрын

I know of the CSC issue and here is a video so you understand even more. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nKOt2duhltfLadI.html Fortunately for me, my VQ, the slave cylinder is outside the bell housing. I even have a video of the install and flush, it is easy to fix. Plus it comes with a lifetime warranty from Oriely's, so it is completely free everytime I change it. That sucks for your 370z, because that cheap slave is inside the bellhousing and when it fails, you have to drop the entire transmission. At that point, might as well put in a clutch while you are at it. My G does not have syncro rev match, but hey I'm used to it by now. I doubt I would use it, but it would have been an awesome feature for sure when first starting out.

If it goes out on me i'll definitely go with the z1 elimination kit or the zspeed csc delete but fingers crossed that it's not anytime soon! Yes, helps out a lot especially in California stop and go traffic.

My rev doesn't really reaction to my gas when im in first gear like when i put gas on the pedal in first gear its doesn't move at all till it sound like im reving really high. Any recommendations? Its a 2004.

Sounds like your clutch is slipping and will soon need to be replaced. 6th gear puts the most pressure on the plate and it will not slip before all the other gears start slipping. 1st gear will start being the most noticeable first.

@MotordyneG35

You mean when you shift gears? If you shift gears too fast, the syncros do not have time to line up the gear and will grind. 03-04 G35 had the weaker syncros and wear out faster. Eventually, when the sycnros start to wear and you will hear a grind more frequently, just shift slower to give them time to engage the gear. If it grinds every time, no matter how slow you shift, your syncros are bad.

If you are trying to save gas, you go through each gear shifting before 2k RPM, to achieve the window sticker gas mileage figures. I get 14 to 16 miles per gallon usually. Window sticker is 19 city / 26 highway. You can skip gears, but I do not during an upshift. You will strain the motor doing that because of the gearing unless you max out 2nd gear and just want to cruise at 40mph, yeah then you can use 4th. It is good practice to use all gears when accelerating, but you can do it however you please, as long as the car responds to it with a smooth acceptance.

@JohnMarshton777

4 жыл бұрын

You COULD be doing it too slow, where as you dont allow yourself ample time to shift before the clutch spins down too much and has to catch back up to the speed of the flywheel when reengaged. If you're just cruising about and not really gassin it, that window of time that would make an "ideal" shift is smaller, and you have to compensate either by shifting faster, or just paying attention and learning your tach and powerband to garner where the best spot is shift for your driving style. Giving it just the littlest bit of power right before a shift to raise the rpms another 2-300 could be the sweet spot. This is all I've gleamed from learning stick in my 240sx over the past year. but the point should be pretty much the same.

I keep getting this question. Do you think I should make a video? On the manual transmission, you get the REV light. You can set it to whatever RPM you like, then 500RPM before what ever you set it too, it will start flashing before turning a solid RED. Once it is a solid RED light, then you know you need to shift. This is so you do not need to look at the gauges and you will see the blinking red light out of your peripheral vision. Allowing you to keep your eyes on the road, ensuring you are not hitting redline.

These cars are practically idiot proof because of the gear ratios. My 2004 350Z and my 2014 Q60S are such that at idle you can let the clutch out and just take off without stalling unless you are starting off on a steep incline. I have actually all but dumped the clutch on a flat surface at idle and the car lunges forward and just creeps along in 1st. Both that 3.5L and the 3.7L have a great deal of bottom end torque and the ratio of first is so low that at idle the thing will crawl along under 5 mph. Now, my 5.0L 1990 Mustang is another story. Unload the clutch and you are doing 12 mph. And you better be able to smoothly ease the clutch out or it will stall. But, the Mustang tachs all of 2000 rpm at 80 mph in 5th gear. The little sedan model can hit almost 150, It is not as fast or quick as the 350Z, but it does have a crap load of torque for passing even though it's 5.0L V8 is only 225 hp. The difference is you need to be good with a clutch to drive the Mustang where as my Infiniti and my Nissan are incredibly easy to drive and even an idiot could probably get either to move where as an idiot would never get my Mustang out of the driveway even on a down hill slope.

damn you get good gas mileage.

Motordyne G35 That’s not the point. It’s neither good for the synchronizers nor the transmission itself if you fail to disengage the clutch completely and ram it into gear. Especially if you are a beginner and know nothing about shifting a car manually. And that seems to be your target audience with this video. Once you are experienced, and I am sure you are, everything is fine. But I think a beginner should learn to shift with a clutch pedal pressed down completely.

@MotordyneG35

ActionHeinz ....the reason beginners usually have a hard time and stall a 350z or G35 is because they put the clutch to the floor and the engagement point is so high, that when slowly letting off the pedal it takes forever to get to the top and they stall. Obviously if you are grinding syncros, doesn't take a genius to figure out the clutch pedal is NOT being pushed. If you barely push, like just barely push it, that is enough for the clutch disc to get pressure from pressure plate and the throw out bearing does its job. The only way you will grind gears is by NOT depressing the pedal at all or not waiting on syncros by shifting too fast.
