Proper gear shifting

[jim]

dapat sagad ang tapak sa clutch always when changing gears or else masisira lining ng clutch mo.

My car is a 1.6 Lancer GLS (2001). I usually shift my gears during normal driving at 2000 RPM. Mas mataas pag nag o overtake. When downshifting, from 5th to 4th gear, basta bumaba ng 2000 rpm. From 4th to 3rd (and 3rd to 2nd), basta bumaba ng 1500 rpm ako nag d dwon shift. From 2nd to 1st gear, at around 1200 to 1000 rpm ako nag d dwon shift.

wala namang required speed or rpm talaga. as long as the engine doesnt buck from too low revs at the upshift, okay lang yun. you can shift from 4th to 5th at 1500 rpm if you like hehe, without any adverse effect.

usually sa gas engines, you can shift at 2,000 rpm at every gear if you want

you can always feel it when you need to upshift or downshift. alangan naman lagi ka na lng nakatingin sa mga gauges mo everytime you change gear, baka sa hospital ang punta mo nyan. "be one with your engine"

a good friend once told me na pag too early ka nag upshift, it puts too much pressure on the engine thus consumes more fuel than normal. sometimes kasi, if the road is not so smooth and malakas ang stereo, mahirap pakiramdaman ang sasakyan. lalo na pag bagong bili, hindi gaanung umaangal ang makina kahit naaalangan.

i also notice na hindi sa lahat ng oras, you can rely on the rpm alone. iba ang response ng engine depende sa load. i usually upshift at 2000rpm, but its different when i have passengers, medyo naaalanganin ang makina during upshift at 2000rpm.

pag nag-uupshift ba, halos pinagsasabay ang pagbitaw ng clutch at pagtapak ng accelerator? or make sure to fully release the clutch first before stepping on the accelerator?

basta hindi nag-lu-lug yung makina, okay lang yun. diesels and engines with good bottom-end torque will turn happily at 1000 rpm all day long hehe.

sabay yung throttle at clutch release, toe into the throttle while releasing the clutch. if not, hindi smooth yung shift, babagsak yung revs.

Agree ako dyan. Ang sarap pag tantyado mo na yung shifting, it's a small victory behind the wheel.

The discipline and exhiliration of shifting manually on the road, I will never trade that for an automatic tranny...

mga katsikot, quick question lang, sa shifting kasi when i shift sa 1500 rpm from 1st-2nd gear, bumpy ang ride parang jackrabbit acceleration ehe, do i need to increase my rpm sa 2k when shifting? kasi i noticed sa rpm pag shift ko to 2nd gear bumababa nang 1k ang rpm..
