En0203 2nd Gear December 12, 2008 Share December 12, 2008 errr its my picnic hor... i think any modern autocar will rev match nicely, shouldn't jerk leh, unless u are talking about the pulling G, not the jerk? u felt a great pulling force or the gear vibrate violently and any sound? so was that ur genting trip? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
En0203 2nd Gear December 12, 2008 Share December 12, 2008 yes, it's still still safe to down shift but do expect a bit of jerk u sure got jerk? or just the pulling power? i think maybe our definition of 'jerk' is different Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortress Clutched December 12, 2008 Share December 12, 2008 Believe you have over rev the engine hence the reaction. As for the damage, it will be difficult to ascertain visually, except through a Boroscope into the chambers. Usually, should not be an issue for a very short moment, however, if you have experience a blow out, you will know as the engine will react and runs rather roughly, or "drink" oil or burns water, which can be seen/smell from the exhaust....

Friendstar Supercharged December 12, 2008 Author Share December 12, 2008 alamak. just floor the accelerator hard when u wanna overtake. should be smoother. u press O/D, macam "force" the gearbox (note that even if u shift to lower gear, the gearbox has protective mechanism to prevent downshift if ur speed is too high) to downshift. give the accelerator a hard poke and it should downshift to 3rd. otherwise, high chance that u are at peak torque for 4th gear liao. okok thanx for the tip!

Friendstar Supercharged December 12, 2008 Author Share December 12, 2008 Jtis wrote: Chey.... Yes, shift shock... I bet you only maintain same foot pressure on the accelerator while you switch off OD right? Then when the autotrans 3rd gear engages, the gearbox had to instantly drag the engine rpms upwards to match its current geartrain speed. It is a little bit like downshifting in a manual car, without rev matching, and throwing the clutch at the smae time. Next time, flooring it is a better idea than switching off OD.
