When i must chang gaer ?my car is peugeot206 and i dont know what the rpm i must chang the gear?can you help ?
Answers:
This is a very subjective question. On any vehicle, there isn't an exact point at which you must change gears. It all depends on your driving style. Some like to just cruise at low revs, while some like to scream. In general, most engines are tuned to operate comfortably between around 2000rpm~4000rpm. Therefore, I guess it doesn't really matter when you shift, as long as you keep the revs between that comfort range.
Listen to the engine rev. When the gear needs to be changed you will feel and hear it!
I was always taught to chage around 3500 rpm (3.5 on your dial)
As mentioned above, listen to the engine. Don't you remember learning to drive? If you spend your time looking at the RPM you'll crash!
2000 to 3000 rpm usually.you won't hurt it. but if the car is warm and your getting up of the freeway going to 4000-4700 isn't bad when you need to get moving.
0-10mph 1st, 10-20 2nd, 20-30 3rd, 30+ 4th is a rough guide, but the revs of the engin is the best way to tell
Since you own a Peugeot I suggest you leave it in neutral.it will be much easier to push.
get an automatic
any place between 1500 and 5000 upshifts only
Hi - I have a Peugeot 206 and change gear to maintain revs at around 2 on the rev counter - up to 3 at high speeds. This tends to be 5th gear - over 40mph, 4th gear around 30mph, 3rd around 20mph. I hope this helps!
Don't worry as much about the rpm's. listen to your motor and feel how it is. some manuals don't even have a tac.
don't let your engine wine, but don't be so slow to let it putter and struggle,
aproxement driving speed is 2k rpms, shifting is 4k rpms. but these are aproxement figures.
drive by feel.
oddly enough, my manual does not, but my automatic of the same exact car does. i have no idea why
The general rule is to change gear when the RPM's are high enough for the engine to keep accelerating in the next gear.
It's all done by feel and experience. But in general you should change up as soon as the engine can comfortably manage. The higher the engine revs the more fuel you are using and the more pollution you are creating, so you don't really want to be rattling along at 40 in 3rd :o). Obviously if you change up too soon the engine may stutter and cough, particularly when it's cold, and you may even stall. Leave changing up a bit later when going up hill.
And you learned to drive where the dodgems ?
You should just no you DINNY
Isn't there a red zone in the rev counter? If there is you should'nt drive into it!
Most car manufacturers set the rev counter so that the maximum power is produced when the needle is upright. If the needle is past the verticle then you are in too low a gear. Apparently it's all to do with how well the engine sucks in air .
It's all relative really. If you want to drive fast - Change up early
If you want ecconomy - change up on max power
If you want to wreck the engine - change up too late.
If you don't know when to chage gear by now you shouldn't be on the road. Gears are changed according to the conditions, not at a pricise rpm. What would you do if there was no rev counter??
Go get some driving lessons dopey Bol*ox! Oh, by the way, get some English lessons as well
