    1st-2nd gear, depending on your ride height, approach and how high the hump is.

    so puwede naman pala mag-down shift to 1st gear even though rolling pa yung car, let's say 5kph. sabi kasi ng iba, kailangan daw full stop before mag-downshift to 1st gear. ang ginagawa ko tuloy, 2nd gear pa rin kahit 5kph lang ang takbo tapos alalay sa clutch baka mamatay yung makina

    hindi raw advisable ito. as much as possible, dalawang gulong daw ang padaanin mo sa hump ng sabay para mas hindi masira ang suspension. can anyone confirm this? or better din na isa lang na gulong na dadaan sa hump?

    Dapat talaga pantay lagi, to avoid unnecessary wear and tear.

    Ramdam naman na napipilipit ang sasakyan pag hindi pantay ang apak ng gulong, e. Subukan man ninyong iparada sa incline ang sasakyan, yung isang side nakataas. Tapos pagmasdan mabuti ang mga gulong, especially the front wheels.

    As much as possible sabay ang 2 gulong sa harap and then sa likod.

    Puwede rin kasing mag twist ang body.

    I have a couple of ways to approach this.

    First, I slow down, step on the brake and release it just before hitting the hump. Approach speed is dependent on the contour of the hump....Then as soon as the front tyres are over the hump, then I switch gear to 1st or 2nd, depending on the vehicle speed.

    Second, I slow down, step on the brake and switch gear to 1st or 2nd, depending on the contour of the hump and after which I release the clutch and the brake just before hitting the hump.

    A/T - just hit the hump at the proper speed (Again, release the brake just before hitting the hump so that the impact is on the front tyres, not the suspension)....

    Here in BF Paranaque, I use mostly the second approach, and 2nd gear because the contour of the humps is not that steep.... Else, if you appear to stop suddenly, the cars at the back may hit you.....

    depende sa humps at sa arangkada mo at sa traffic,

    highest gear for me with a hump is third gear, nag first gear lang ako if from full stop,

    2nd gear since may momentum pa yung pababa ng humps to push the car. minsan 3rd, pero alalay ako sa clutch para di mamatayan ng makina.
