Skip downshifting refers to when a driver does not follow the normal sequential downshifting pattern of 5-4-3-2-1, but instead skips a gear level, such as 5-3-1 or 4-2, directly downshifting past one gear. Below are related explanations: 1. Skip Downshifting: It is possible to skip gears when downshifting, but the gear selected must match the vehicle's speed. If the speed allows, skip downshifting can be performed. However, before skipping a gear, always remember to press the clutch first, and then directly downshift when the speed matches the desired lower gear. 2. Precautions: Although skip downshifting is possible, it must be done according to the vehicle's speed. Driving at 'high speed in a low gear' can cause gear collisions, potentially damaging the engine and transmission.
