Kaer Neutral Newbie May 25, 2005 Share May 25, 2005 Hello guys, hope someone can shed some lights on this problem I recently experience. Was going up Benjamin Sheares bridge at 5th gear ~ 70+km and felt breathless so I changed down to 4th and the car still feel the same as if I was dragging a ton of goods behind my back, even tho I changed down to 3rd at 50km, it's still the same. Had to floor the gas pedel but seems not accelerating at all. Been up and down this bridge countless times at 5th gear 70-80, didnt experience anything like this before. Going close to 10k and time for servicing but just like to have some thoughts on this... cheers! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfpoon Clutched May 25, 2005 Share May 25, 2005 what car are you driving? the cc or bhp of you car do play a part. not to mention what's in your boot. once you lose the momentum, you will need to drop gear to pick up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord 1st Gear May 25, 2005 Share May 25, 2005 Not too sure, got to wait for the guy to come in and give us more info. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imuya Clutched May 25, 2005 Share May 25, 2005 from all the above info given i guess you're the LRF type. i think there's really nothing wrong with your car, jus step on it more. The stretch of up slope is quite steep and long. 3rd gear at 50km/h is for cruising on flat road. 70km/h is a bit low for 5th gear i feel.... so jus down more more gear lor... 50km/h at gear2 going upslope is normal wat.. jus my 2cents..

Next time try going up Benjamin Sheares bridge at 90km/h(keep to speed limit). 5th gear at 70km/h is abit too low gear IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cars even if you are driving a Mercs E200 would have problem climbing the slope...this is becos of the gearing and the power to weight ratio of cars. It is worse for automatic cars. That is why I like it very much when I take my Honda 600RR on a weekend and show these car drivers how I can climb up the Benjamin Bridge especially the one coming up from Rochor towards the east...the steepest slope I reckon and feel good when I overtake every car as I reach the top and look back...to see them struggling....hehehehe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopus 3rd Gear May 25, 2005 Share May 25, 2005 What's you rpm while climbing the bridge? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky8807 1st Gear May 27, 2005 Share May 27, 2005 I think your driving technique and the car characteristic does not match. Since the car is a machine, that mean your technique got to change. U need to understand your car and its characteristics like power, torque, acceleration, climbing ability, pick-up, at what rpm the engine behave best etc etc. This take time and the more u understand your car the better u can handle her.

Yeobh 4th Gear May 27, 2005 Share May 27, 2005 You may have to improve your driving skill - hardly ever come across any driver trying to climb steep slop with the 5th gear. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
