Can You Shift Directly from Fourth Gear to Second Gear While Driving?

Theoretically, there's no major issue, but in practice, it only skips one gear operation and doesn't offer any fuel-saving benefits. Here's some information about gear shifting: Downshifting: It's recommended to downshift when the RPM is below 1500. Operating between 2000-2500 RPM is more fuel-efficient (varies slightly depending on the engine), with moderate engine torque and relatively lower noise, making it suitable for normal driving. Upshifting: Between 2500-3500 RPM, the engine torque is more suitable for overtaking or climbing steep slopes, but fuel consumption increases and noise becomes louder. Above 3500 RPM is not recommended for prolonged operation, as the engine consumes significantly more fuel and produces very loud noise in this range.
