Will the Engine Stall If the Wrong Gear Is Selected?
1 Answers
If the wrong gear is selected without releasing the clutch, the engine will not stall. However, if the clutch is released, the engine will stall. Speed ranges corresponding to manual transmission gears 1 to 5: Start in 1st gear, shift to 2nd gear when the speed reaches 15 km/h; shift to 3rd gear at 25 km/h; shift to 4th gear at 35 km/h; and shift to 5th gear at 45 km/h. Gear shifting precautions: Depress the clutch fully before shifting; never look down while shifting; hold the steering wheel steady when shifting; avoid violently shaking the gear lever back and forth; ensure the gear matches the speed.
