If the engine sounds like it's about to blow up, it's either time to shift up into the next gear, or if you're in top gear... slow down. :hysterical:
-
The appropriate time to shift will depend on the engine and situation. For smaller gasoline engines, it's more appropriate to shift up at around 2500-3000 rpm (as long as the gears aren't incredibly long), while bigger gasoline engines and diesels will feel comfortable shifting up at 2000-2500 rpm.
On most cars you start in 1st gear... on some you can start in 2nd (L300, anyone? :hysterical ) with no problems.
There's no golden rule. In my old 1.3, I was in 4th by 50 km/h. In my 2.0, I'm in 5th. In the Focus diesel, I'm in 6th... ...as long as the car isn't lugging (naghihirap... or nagkakabayo...)... then you're in the right gear.

There is no hard and fast rules. Generally, listen to the sound of the engine and let it be your guide.

there are rules but its practically flexible, one can base it on the rpm

it depends... pero ang madalas kong napapansin, at 2000 rpm or even before it reaches 2000 rpm ang shifting

September 27th, 2009 09:01 AM #8It depends on how do you want to drive..
race drive: shift each gear around 4000-6000 rpm. consumption is high, more engine strain.
Tipid mode: Change each gear below 2000rpm. Maybe higher than 2000 rpm considering you need more power to move at the right pace. results to better fuel consumption.
If your car is new, you can read the manual. most of them have description on proper gearing change.
Nice comment Niky..hehe! that is used in race style driving..

When you change at <1.5k rpm will it affect fuel consumption than changing at <3k rpm?
Also, when you coast on gear or when decelerating on gear would it affect fuel consumption rather than going neutral and just stepping the brakes?
Lastly, when the paper says max power 105hp * 6000rpm and max torque 102 ft lb * 4000rpm. What does it mean?
Thanks!
gusto ko lang maliwanagan. are you referring to Hitman query? kasi iba ang intindi ko sa tanong ni...
