How to Match Gear Shifting with Speed in Subject Three?
1 Answers
Gear and speed matching are as follows: The speed range for 1st gear is 0-20 mph, for 2nd gear is 10-30 mph, for 3rd gear is 20-40 mph, and for 4th and 5th gears is 30-60 mph. Below are the details for upshifting and downshifting: 1. Upshifting: "Shift up at five," meaning when in 1st gear, accelerate to 15 mph, press the clutch and release the throttle, shift to 2nd gear, release the clutch and accelerate again, then shift to 3rd gear when the speed reaches around 25 mph, and shift to 4th gear when the speed reaches around 35 mph. 2. Downshifting: Release the throttle, brake to slow down, "Shift down at zero." For example, to downshift from 4th to 3rd gear, reduce the speed to 30 mph, then downshift to 3rd gear. Reduce the speed to around 20 mph to downshift to 2nd gear, and to around 10 mph to downshift to 1st gear.
