i dont understand why u need to rev up when u are downshifting? can u explain more on that?
Certainly.
Example used is my car:
Max speed of each gear.
1st = 60km/h
2nd = 95km/h
3rd = 140km/h
4th = 180km/h
5th = 240km/h
Sooo that being said, for example I am driving along in 2nd gear at say... 80km/h... I would be at about 7300RPM, so it makes more sence to shift into 3rd gear or even 4th.
So lets say, I am now going along in 4th gear at 80km/h. So my car has thge same speed, the engine is now revving LOWER and I save gas. Easy process we all understand.
NOW, if we are to revert back to 2nd gear... going along at 80km/h if I just hit the clutch and pull the shifter otu and put it into 2nd and let the clutch out, it will not be a smooth shift... AND while the clutch engages more and more it wil bring the revs up... so technicaly, they turn out to the same, I would be back in 2nd gear doing 80km/h and back to 7300RPM.
The difference is, if I rev the engine while the clutch is in and I got into second at 7300RPM, it will be smooth, in all hoesty there is more to explain, as really you should double clutch but just to give an example of why to downshift and rev.
Really if you are coming to a stop, just hit the clutch, pull the shifter into neutral and then just use the breaks, now your gears to slow down.
Did that answer your question?
