Downshifting from 4th to 3rd gear at high speed

**FWC** · January 9th, 2009 05:00 AM

Kung 91 Lancer GSX, hindi problema yung 80 kph sa 3rd gear. Red line kasi niyan sa 3rd gear is about 110-115 kph. In fact, I often go back to 3rd gear at that speed to overtake.

WE can just call that as an "Engine-Break"... para bang gusto mong mag-sudden stop ay ayaw mo naman na thru "breaks" lang so, ang ginawa mo pinatulong mo ang engine... pag naulit, 'tuloy mo na lang menor, then start increasing the speed agen...

hahahaha I already experience that one,

cruising at 80kph at 4th gear then i accidentally shift to 3rd gear
but immediately shift to 5th gear

pakiramdam ko ung katawan ko nagkaroon ng g-force bigla hehehe

anyway any one here tried from 3rd gear to 5th gear without going to 4th gear hehe OT na ko sorry sa TS

I've experienced that too 4th to 3rd. Wala namang bad effect sa engine. It's like engine breaking.

3rd to 5th ginagawa ko rin yan basta nasa right speed na for the 5th.

Dapat naka 5th gear na pag 60kmh na para tipid na gas.

yes, i mistakenly did it sa NLEX, sa tuwa ko after exiting the balintawak toll gate

but buti nalang the speed that time was i think 60 kph so humila naman di nga lang ganun ka responsive. nagulat rin ako and said to myself "bakit mahina ata humila eh nasa NLEX na ako" :bwahaha:

na try ko na din sa L300 low speed hatak muna ng mabilis sa 3rd gear tapos pasok agad ng 5th gear ,, pero siguro mas maganda gawin yun kung mabilis ang sasakyan na gamit

Hmmmm...mahaba naman po gears nyan...yung dating Lancer pizza ni erpats parang walang hangganan yung mga gears eh

! 3rd gear redline siguro mahigit 120km/h. 5th gear 2,900rpm *120km/h. Ang haba talaga ng ratios. Buti na rin yun kasi mas matipid sa gas pag nasa NLEX. Sakit nga lang sa ulo pag stop 'n go traffic. Cyclone din makina ng pizza di ba?

Sa pizza, pag nag-downshift ako mula 5th to 4th parang walang nangyari

...kaya kahit 90km/h o mahigit ang takbo pakiramdam ko ok lang isaksak sa 3rd. Di naman kasi malakas ang vibration ng Lancer. Lalo pa nga nag-uubos ng rpm erpat ko kesa sakin.
