Will the Car Stall When Driving Below 10 km/h in Second Gear?
1 Answers
Driving below 10 km/h in second gear will not cause the car to stall. The methods to determine the correct gear shifting timing are as follows: Upshifting Timing: When the engine has sufficient power, it will emit a dull sound. After upshifting, if there is no lack of power or shaking of the transmission mechanism, and the vehicle speed increases quickly with smooth and natural driving, it indicates the upshifting timing is accurate. Downshifting Timing: When the vehicle speed and engine RPM continue to drop, and you feel the car is losing power with the engine compartment starting to shake, it's time to downshift one gear. If downshifting is done too early, it will cause noticeable jerking, which wastes engine power, increases fuel consumption, and negatively impacts the lifespan of both the engine and transmission.
