Proper shifting will provide better fuel
economy. When changing gears under normal
conditions, use these recommended shift
points:
Shifting Up:
From 1st to 2nd: 12 mph (20 km/h)
From 2nd to 3rd: 19 mph (30 km/h)
From 3rd to 4th: 25 mph (40 km/h)
From 4th to 5th: 31 mph (50 km/h)
From 5th to 6th: 37 mph (60 km/h)
Shifting Down:
From 6th to 5th: 28 mph (45 km/h)
From 5th to 4th: 22 mph (35 km/h)
From 4th to 3rd: 16 mph (25 km/h)
Disengage the clutch when speed drops below
11 mph (18 km/h), when engine roughness is
evident, or when engine stalling is imminent;
shift down to 1st gear for acceleration.
