Downshifting

Take the Jake off
Let the rpms get lower
Double clutch
For me, I don't use the clutch
Go by feel
I know how to juice it between gears
But that won't work for you yet

 

First, type downshifting into the search bar, there are tons of threads on this.

Its hard to give advice with such vauge information, be more descriptive. Everything changes the scenario, speed, are you failing when going up or down hill? Is the jake on? Are you pushing the clutch to far and grabing the clutch brake? What rpm are you at when attempting the downshift... the more you can describe the better

 

And the double clutch has to be quick
Boom boom

 

I can downshift with the jake on, i turn it off for up shifting, i can do it... had to learn.. but i have a habit of coming to far off the go pedal to leave it on for going up the gears...

 

I know, but he's new and trying to pass a test
He can leave the Jake on later

 

Point taken, for the record, i only use the clutch to get moving in either direction. Dont know that I could pass the test tomorrow if i had to dc

 

Me neither
Everything I do is by feel
Only use the clutch from a stop
A lot of new drivers have trouble with the double clutch on a downshift
It's two actions done as one action
Needs to be fluid.

 

Yup yup, and realizing you may need to at the same time, tap the go pedal to get your rpms up... downshifting using dc downhill under load ... with no miss's or grinds? Now thats skill!
