when is gear shifted?

[richardtan]

Dear Experts,

I like to know at about what rpm (minimum) does a vios engine shift the gears to 2,3,4 ?

Mine's an automatic gear vios 06.

Have a nice day :)

Cheers,
Richard

Something weird with the shifting recently?

it depends on how you press your pedal.
for normal drive,usually the gear will shift at 3k-3.5k.
if you press it hard,the gear shift at 4.5k-5k..
this is from my vios...

based on the your foot.
it can shift as low as 2k rpm and also can shift at 6k rpm.its totally depend on your right foot.I think its may equip with fuzzy logic gearbox so it will shift based on how u drive.no fix rpm where it will shift.it can fight with b16a manual if u know how to press the accelerator.just my 1 sen opinion based on my previous experience.

Yes, I tried to rev till 2k rpm and it does seems to shift and I can hear the engine sound change.
Does it mean , to reach 4th gear, I continue the same way 3 times in a row? Will this let me reach 4th gear the fastest-and-most-fuel economically, compared to revving at higher rpm to achieve the same?

Thanks to all of you who have advised so far.

I greatly appreciate your inputs.

Cheers.:wavey:

Should be la, but the fastest you reached the top, are the less power you have too. So I suggest driving normally and relax will be the best.
