No I mean like I’d be driving 20 Km downshifting to gear 5 but it grinds
-
Is that good speed to be going into gear 5

Now tell us the truth. You necro'd and then hijacked a 16 year old thread that was literally explaining how to create new threads. You then created TEN threads on this topic in each sub forum. Your name is "anarchy". So who's alt are you, and how much have you had to drink? -
Hijacked? Lol I’m not a terrorist

So heres a rough guide. At 15 mph 6. I plus 5 is 6. So at 25 mph 2 plus 5 is seven so 7. So at 35 3. +5 is 8. And at 45 is 9 cause 4+5 is 9. That’s how I learned to up shift. So on down shift I would downshift 15 or 16 rpm’s just really depends on the truck. Now what I do is listen to the engine.
Boondock Thanks this. -
Correct, that's precisely why I said speed is irrelevant lol
