What is the correct speed for changing gears in a car?

In the absence of the tachometer, what is the correct speed at which we have to shift the gears (presuming that we are driving in plane road without gradient or steep)What is the correct speed for changing gears in a car?Don't look at speedometer to change the gears,



Rely on motion of the Car, you yourself have to study motion of the car... to accelerate always change the gear when in particular gear car is already in smooth motion. Over accelerating in low gear will lead to more fuel consumption.



to decelerate Again watchh motion of the car, if the pickup isn't good than shift to lower gears.

Every 10 MPH or so will be acceptable and give you decent gas mileage.



0-10 first

10-20 second

What is the correct speed for changing gears in a car?
Depends on how many cylinders you have. I have a six. 2nd at about 10, 3rd at about 25-30, 4th at about 35-45, and 5th at about 50-55. Just listen to your engine. It will tell you when its time to change.
you don't drive do you? it all depends on how much acceleration you give the car there is no predetermine time or speed light acceleration you can shift at 5 mph or heavy on the pedal you can wait til 30mph high performance cars you can take 1st up to 50 sometimes more.
2000 - 3000rpm
Ideally you would have a tachometer. During normal driving you should change gears when the RPM approaches near 2000.

If you are racing, you would probably get the maximum torque when you tach out near the red line. Don't push the tach very far into the red line or you might damage (or blow) your engine.



If you don't have a tachometer, just change gears when the power of acceleration starts trailing off. In any gear, if the auto is sluggish or jerky then move down a gear and increase the speed till it has the desired power going into the next gear. Every car is a little different.



I always buy cars/trucks that have %26quot;rally gages%26quot;
You change gears when you can hear your motor stating to rev too high
