Do You Need to Go Through Neutral When Shifting from 2nd to 1st Gear?
1 Answers
Shifting from 2nd to 1st gear does not require going through neutral. Here is an extended explanation: Shift gears according to the car's speed: Generally, start in 1st gear, then shift to 2nd after driving a few meters. Shift to 3rd when the speed reaches above 20 mph but below 35 mph; shift to 4th when the speed reaches above 35 mph but below 45 mph; and shift to 5th when the speed exceeds 45 mph. This applies to standard 5-speed transmission cars. For cars with 6 or more gears, you can upshift approximately every 15 mph increase in speed. Additionally, when shifting gears, pay attention to the engine's RPM; it's best to shift around 2500 RPM.
