Will the Engine Stall When Driving Below 10 km/h in Second Gear?
1 Answers
Driving below 10 km/h in second gear will not cause the engine to stall, for the following reasons: 1. First gear is the speed for starting, typically ranging from 0-5 km/h. 2. Second gear corresponds to speeds between 5-20 km/h. 3. Third gear corresponds to speeds between 20-40 km/h. 4. Fourth gear corresponds to speeds between 40-60 km/h. 5. Fifth gear corresponds to speeds between 60-100 km/h. Methods to determine the correct gear shifting timing are as follows: 1. Upshifting timing: When the engine has ample power, it emits a dull sound. After upshifting, if there is no power shortage or shaking of the transmission mechanism, and the vehicle speed increases quickly with smooth and natural driving, it indicates accurate upshifting timing. 2. Downshifting timing: When the vehicle speed and engine RPM continue to drop, and you feel the car lacks power with the engine compartment starting to shake, it's time to downshift. Downshifting too early will cause noticeable jerking, wasting engine power, increasing fuel consumption, and negatively impacting the lifespan of the engine and transmission.
