The depth of driving a manual car - that I have become aware of the RPMs.

Rotation Matching for Manual Cars
The other day, while driving my car, a BMW 320i (manual), I suddenly had this thought.
I'm carefully connecting the clutch and gas pedal work, but why do I sometimes get shift shock and sometimes not...
And. Then, after driving for a while, I realized something.
That's right! The difference is that the rotation is right and the rotation is wrong!
...No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.Gas pedal work and clutch operationI was completely preoccupied with the "I" and forgot all about the rotational alignment (explosion).
The BMW 320i I usually drive is a bare-bones model, not sporty.Therefore, when driving normally, you cannot hear the engine sound at all, and the car feels like a comfort car. So, it is tempting to pull the engine and drive while listening to the engine sound, but depending on the timing, this may naturally cause shift shocks.
Therefore.By listening to the engine sound carefully and shifting gears where the revs match, the driver can drive smoothly.I know it's not something I should bother to write about, but it's a matter of course. Come to think of it, when I was driving a Comfort in a driving school
When you're in first to second gear, you don't even need to step on the gas pedal, you're blowing it too much.
I have often been reminded of this, and I think I feel the same way about the 320i.
Porsche Boxster (MT) driving
And the other day I drove a Boxster for the first time in a long time, and at firstWhen I tried to shift from first to second gear with the same gas pedal work as in the 320i, I felt a gaping shift shock.And from my husband.
I need to step on the gas pedal more. The RPMs are not enough at all.
He pointed out to me that I should not drive a Boxster and a 320i in the same way. Well... that's not good if you drive a Boxster and a 320i in the same way (-_-)
The driving maneuvers had to be changed according to the differences in power, torque, weight, etc. of the car. This is also a matter of course, but when I was driving an AT car, I did not think about this kind of thing, so nowadays, I am not aware of it every time I drive a AT car.Cars are so deep!I'm impressed," he said.
Also, in the case of the Boxster, the shift-up indicator(An indicator light that tells you when to upshift in order to run as fuel-efficiently as possible)However, the driver will instruct the driver to upshift at a very early time.
I'm the one who said, "What, are you going to put it in 5th gear here already?When he was surprised that the
That's right. They will tell you when it's time to go. Well, if you drive according to this, it means you can drive in a fuel-efficient way.
And. I see...
which reminds me ...In the case of the Panamera Turbo, it quickly goes into 6th gear when driving around town and only runs at a little over 1000 rpm at all times.If that were the case, I could drive the car by myself with paddle shifters, but I feel that there is a slight time lag in response, which is unpleasant, so I have been driving the car with AT recently.
However, when the car is set to Sport Plus mode, the rpms are raised so much that the car becomes sporty, so I became addicted to driving in Sport Plus mode for a while, and I noticed that my fuel economy was getting really bad.
Depth of manual driving
In the case of AT cars, if the car is left to its own devices, it will calculate the best way to drive, so the driver can drive in an eco-friendly manner that is kind to the car and the environment without having to be particularly conscious of the fact that he or she is driving. This is a good thing about AT cars and a really convenient feature.
On the other hand, in the case of a manual transmission vehicle, "What kind of driving do you want to do and at what RPM?The "what" is left entirely up to the driver, and that changes the way he or she drives. It also depends on the car you drive. This is the best part of driving a manual car.
Well, it is deep.
These days I would like to drive more manual cars of various makes and models.

I am the one who is always tempted to comment on this subject.
Although it is called "RPM matching," the actual number of revolutions to be matched depends on the vehicle speed and gear, so I think it is important to have a good grasp of "vehicle speed" when shifting gears on ordinary roads.
As for the shift-up indicator, at least in the case of the Porsche, the timing of the display should be completely different depending on the gas pedal opening. When the car is accelerating at full speed, the indicator is not displayed even at very high rpm, but when the accelerator pedal is opened only a little, the indicator will tell the driver to quickly upshift if this acceleration is good enough. However, it does not seem to reflect the gradient of the road, so if you shift up as indicated by the indicator on an uphill, you may not have enough power. On the other hand, if you are going downhill, there is no problem even if you shift to a higher gear than the indicator, and you should choose the gear according to the degree of engine braking required. Of course, it does not seem to indicate to shift up when the accelerator is off and the engine brake is on.

Thank you for everything!
I see!!! Very informative.
When I used to drive AT cars, I really didn't think anything of it.
Only now am I starting to think about what I should be driving to the point.
PorscheDreamer's advice is.
I always learn so much because I don't know so much.
Next time I drive a Boxster, I'll keep what you wrote in mind.
I'm going to try to drive it while it breathes with the car!
Thank you for your continued support.
