Power shifting is just like regular shifting in a manual transmission, but you never lift your foot off the gas pedal - clutch goes in and out, while your right foot remains planted and the gear shift is executed. The problem is if you keep the gas pedal down while shifting, your engine RPM goes up, but your transmission wants a lower RPM, so this discrepancy is handled by the clutch, creating a shock load within the system. But you can design your way out of this, watch to learn more!

That’s not how you power shift….. power shifting is when you let off the gas slam the next gear and back on the gas without using the clutch….

power shifting is shifting while feathering the throttle, you never touch the clutch. study before you make a video
@b226tj Рік тому
No lift shift, not power shift, and this isn’t the best way to do it. The best way to do it is to go very close to the rev limiter, clutch in and slam the shifter to the next gear, release clutch slightly slower than usual for traction(if needed). This way, nothing is really working wrong.

@SteelyEyedMissileDan Рік тому
It works okay if you're drag racing old American V8 hot rods, but those tend to have much heavier rotating assemblies and flywheels than modern sports cars, so the rpms don't jump up too much, at least not if you jam the shifter into the next gear quickly enough. Rev hang is still a problem, though. Your engine will still be spinning faster than your transmission's input shaft wants to go, and you'll still cause shock loading through your clutch plate(s).

It costs a bit more gas but the car is happy, no engine or transmission issues.

I definitely believe you, but having worked on both I can say the mechanisms DO the same thing, but ARE not exactly the same machine design and the forces are a ⅕ of in a car because the weight is so low. Much of the shock load is from momentum/inertia too because the wheels are still turning.

2 stroke dirtbikes that are older not so much as the coils are unlimited. But on 4 strokes and modern most bikes made since 1980 you can do the same thing by preloading the shift lever well in advance. As you climb up to recline you increase pressure on the shifter and once you bang limiter you pop into the next gear. Done that dragracing my xv1100 tons of times.

@dj jay sky yeah I drop the revs by about 700rpm and it usually snaps into gear near instantly.

It's a heavy duty off road clutch with a heavy flywheel and the stock one lasted almost 300 000Ks (about 180 000ish miles).
@SpencerHHO Рік тому

In a drag or a close pursuit, quick power shifting provides an extra forward thrust with each gear change, which loads and damages the clutch less than downshifting without hitting the gaz (without synchronizing the engine and the gearbox): in the first case, the clutch friction is reducing the engine rotation, in the second case it’s increasing it.

Yes power shifting is hard on the clutch and shocks the driveline, but it keeps the engine and turbo spooled up and some of that screaming engine energy also gets dumped into the driveline, further accelerating you when you dump the clutch. If you want the fastest 1/4 mile times, want the quickest acceleration or want to beat your buddy driving an identical car, then power shifting will get you there. The downside is you'll be replacing clutches and rebuilding the gearbox and driveline components far more often (but many will argue that's the price you pay for racing).

With the sticks I've had, I'd take my foot off the gas when pressing the clutch, but I wouldn't completely release the gas. I'd ease up just enough where the engine RPMs were close to matching up with the next gear. Or, giving it enough gas to rev slightly on a down shift. The general rule I followed was to try to match engine RPM to the needed RPM for the gear I was shifting to. That produced the smoothest shifts, which seemed to be the best way to extend engine and transmission life.

If you do that properly, you don’t even need to use the clutch. Thats how you shift in most tractor trailers. You only use the clutch when you stop and take off.

I had a mustang svt cobra that would do that simply by properly downshifting from third or fourth to second gear and then stomping the gas once the clutch was safely and properly re-engaged, unless you were going over forty, in which case it would just throw the whole back end out and go squirrelly until you let up on the gas or until you spun out.

If I fishtail most of the time it only takes a short quick counter steer and lifting my foot off the gas, and I just don't even realize it when it happens unless a passenger freaks out or something, anymore.

There are aftermarket ecu's that allow flat shifting. You keep it pinned, when the clutch switch engages the computer lowers the rev limiter to whatever rpm you set and then goes away once the clutch is released.
@schrodingersmechanic7622 Рік тому
@DriftNick for a sequential shifter yes. A lot of high performance bikes have them from the factory too. That cuts ignition for a few milliseconds to unload the transmission and allow the shifter to change gears. That works off a pressure switch on the shifter. The system I'm talking about, you actually set a target rpm for when the clutch is disengaged. It can cut fuel, ignition or both. Fuel cut cost me a motor one time though when it went lean under boost so I only use ignition cut now.

Now it's interesting because I had to learn how to power shift, to keep one of my work's trucks from stalling on a hill. Granted you are still lower the rpm from 2100 to about 1500; but it's difficult to find the gear again, when you miss the mark. Also you save lots of wear-and-tear on the clutch by float shifting instead of clutch shifting. There are a few automatic transmissions that are based entirely on float shifting.

But If you take the hill at speed, then there is no getting around having to shift, when you halfway up it. Now this one hill, coming out of a pit, is steep enough that if you stop on the hill, you'll never get going again; even trying to take off from low 1, which is a granny gear.

Real tip for those not wanting to race, but have their car last much longer, learn to shift by ear. If you align the RPM of your wheels, with the RPM of your Engine, the transmission experiences much less load, and therefor lasts much longer. It's the same method people use to shift without clutch, but I'd still recommend using the clutch

@mikescherrer4923 2 місяці тому
@@jumbo_mumbo1441That's a misleading way of saying it. What you want to do for longevity is shift up and down under as little torque load as possible. That is to say, allow the car's acceleration to cease while changing gears. It is also important not to over or under-speed the engine relative to the incoming gear, up or down. Ideally, you want to use the throttle to "match" the revs to put as little shock load on the clutch as possible. This technique is also used to prevent the car from unsettling during hard braking.

The only time I’ve seen someone properly power shift was when F1 cars still hand manual transmissions, however those guys were slamming the shifter into each gear incredibly fast ( less than half a second ) but they’d only do it in qualifying because it destroyed their gearboxes, it’s almost always more efficient just to quickly upshift normally, easier on the gearbox and would usually take the same amount of time anyways. It’s not worth it unless you’re chasing a tenth on the track
