What RPM to Shift from 1st to 2nd Gear?

[SanElena]

Generally speaking, for manual transmission vehicles, the engine speed should be around 2000rpm when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. Below is a detailed explanation about gear shifting: 1. If the car needs rapid acceleration, you can shift gears when the engine speed reaches 3000rpm or even 4000rpm, which will provide stronger power but also increase fuel consumption. 3. Shifting gears at 2000rpm is the most balanced state for the engine. 3. When shifting gears, remember the principle of "accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting". Gear shifts should be timely, correct, smooth, and quick, and upshifting should not skip gears. 4. If you accidentally select the wrong gear or cannot engage the gear, don't panic; return to the original gear and try again. 5. Pay attention to the coordination between the clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, and gear lever when shifting gears. The correct operation is: depress the clutch pedal – quickly release the accelerator – shift to the corresponding gear – match the accelerator according to the gear, or do not press the accelerator and quickly lift the clutch pedal to the semi-engaged state – gently release the clutch pedal after the clutch is engaged.
