At what speed should you change to fifth gear or the top gear. I sometimes shift to fifth gear at 45-50kms.Can that cause any damage to the engine or the transmission ?
it depends on your car. some cars u should shift at about 70km like mine, and some are a bit earlier or later. best rpm to shift around is about 2100-3000, you will get good gas mileage and the car wont feel like staling after u shift cause the rpm's wont be to low.
I used to do 5th gear when I was over 70kpmh for economical driving for racing purpose 1st - 60kmph 2nd - 110 kmph 3rd - 180 kmph I never used 4th n 5th but then again it depends how u drive
bhai are you serious like small capacity engines wont be able to cope up with this much range skyline would struggle if the rpms are less then 2K
skylines are high revving engines buddy, thats why they have less torque at low revs, mostly in city, even driving spiritedly you are hardly going over 3k rpm, and i think he's referring to his corolla altis which makes it hardly in the same league and also corolla has an underquare engine which makes it torquier low down, but you do make a good point, you ought to have good throttle control at those rpms
it starts stalling at low rpm i had a lancer manual 1.5 litre it had same prob less then 2 k it starts stalling n then ultimately thers a need of lower gear
