Must Manual Transmission Be Downshifted Gear by Gear?
1 Answers
Manual transmission must be downshifted gear by gear. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Principle: Because during high-speed driving, the gears of the transmission also rotate with the engine. While moving at high speed, the engine's RPM is relatively low, while the transmission's RPM is high. When downshifting, if the engine's RPM is insufficient and the transmission's RPM is too high, a gear grinding noise will occur. Therefore, when downshifting, it's impossible to engage a lower gear without revving the engine to match the transmission's RPM. 2. Exam Practice: In the practice for the third subject of the driving test, there are operations for shifting up and down gears, and the instructor teaches that you must downshift gear by gear, meaning sequentially, without skipping or jumping gears. During the third subject exam, skipping or jumping gears during downshifting will result in point deductions, leading to exam failure.
