Will Driving at 100 km/h in 3rd Gear Damage the Car?
1 Answers
If you drive at 100 km/h in 3rd gear for an extended period, it will reduce the lifespan of the vehicle. Below is an introduction to the relevant content: 1. Gear Shifting: When shifting to this gear, the transmission can shift freely, but there will be a delay in shifting, causing the engine to maintain high RPMs for a longer time. Driving at high RPMs in a low gear for an extended period results in greater torque output and acceleration. 2. Upshifting Technique: The key to smooth upshifting lies in the "acceleration" level. The distance for "acceleration" should be determined by the gear being shifted to—the higher the gear, the longer the "acceleration" distance required.
