    To me, there is only one meaning. To shift..means to shift. When i hear someone say "grabbing gears", it sounds like "...my ### needs to get from zero to 60 as fast as i can..."

    True, can be a lower gear as well. On the older trucks when they would run hot grabbing a gear meant going to a lower one.
