Trouble downshifting

You can watch YouTube videos or study charts and RPMs versus miles per hour that's all a bunch of crap. I never pay attention to my RPMs or speedometer when I'm shifting it's more of a feel, hard to explain.
Since you're already use to watching the RPMs I would say let the truck get down to about 1300 rpms. since you're new barely tapped the clutch to take it out of gear without being on the throttle once you have it in neutral kick the throttle up. To no specific RPM for your sake say around 1500 or better at the same time without using the clutch have your gear shifter resting on the next gear you're downshifting to don't pull it in or try to force it just rest it there and as the RPMs go down it'll fall into gear. Now it takes practice and some people are never good at it. Just give it a shot. Don't Force it into any gear just hold it really gently against the gear you're trying to get into and kick the throttle up you might have to do that once or twice eventually it'll fall in.

 

Double clutching takes too long. If your quick there’s a tiny moment when you let off the throttle that the gears aren’t holding on to each other and you can slip it out without forcing the gears out and then you rev match to the gear you’re going in then clutch in. Only have the use the clutch once and if done properly no damage done. You can possibly float gears without damage but I haven’t seen many drivers manage that when you hear that grinding sound or you have to force it in or out you’re hurting something it should all glide out like butter (assuming the trans is in good condition).

So I was just able to read the original post, I'm not really in a position to go through the entire thread. When you are slowing down, you need to slow down to a deliberate speed. When I'm downshifting, I go to one of the fives. 45 is 9th, 35 is 8th, 25 is 7th and 15 is 6th. That way there is very little thought involved. You go to your speed, you know what gear corresponds with that speed, and you know the bump to give the fuel pedal.

 

get to low rpm pull it out rev up a little untill it falls in to gear

 

Don't you just push the button on the dash to downshift? What's this clutch you guys speak of?

Joking. Lmfao

 

Remember there is 500 RPM difference between gears, up or down. 250 RPM if you are splitting gears (13, 15, 18 speed, etcetera)
If you are downshifting (going to a lower gear) you need to increase engine speed by 500 RPM. Up-shifting you need to lose 500 RPM. Make sure the engine speed is in the correct range to allow this to happen. For example, you can't downshift if the engine is at 1800 RPM without over revving. You can't up-shift if the engine is at 1200 RPM.

 

set cruise at 70 then stop , put in first gear and release clutch then press resume
