Can You Downshift Directly from Third Gear to First Gear in a Manual Transmission?
1 Answers
Manual transmission can downshift directly from third gear to first gear. As long as the engine speed is sufficient when in first gear, you can shift directly to third gear. The following is a detailed introduction about car gears: Speed range: The speed range for first gear is 0-5 km/h. The speed range for second gear is 5-20 km/h, for third gear is 20-40 km/h, for fourth gear is 40-60 km/h, and for fifth gear is 60-100 km/h. Shift timing: The general shift timing for most cars is when the engine speed reaches 2000 r/min, and should not exceed 2500 r/min. For some high-displacement and high-power engines, shifting can be done around 3000 r/min.
