Changing gear smoothly is an important skill for the driver of any car with a manual gearbox, but sometimes it can be difficult to change down to a lower gear without that annoying jerk as the clutch is released. A driver that can use the accelerator to match the engine speed to the road speed when changing down, will achieve a much smoother gear change - this technique is called ‘rev-matching’. This video will look at why it is difficult to change down smoothly, show how 'rev-matching' can help with this problem, and also where we can use this technique.
