What happens if you dont rev match?
When you downshift on a motorcycle, the engine RPMs increase. If you do it without rev-matching, the engine will feel bogged down and the motorcycle will also lurch forward.
When do you change gears while slowing down?
When to change gear whilst slowing down. Whilst slowing down it may be necessary to change down a gear else the car may lose the ability to accelerate further due to an inappropriate gear or even possibly, you could stall the car.
When to change from 4th gear to 3rd gear?
Whilst slowing remember the speeds at which you changed up in the first place, for example slowing down from 30mph to 20mph would be an ideal time to change from 4th gear to 3rd. Remember however, if coming to a complete stop at a red traffic light for example, in modern cars you do not need and are not expected to change down through the gears.
Do you put the clutch in when you change gears?
You can do a double change if you really want but it won’t be as smooth. Never put the clutch in unless you’re changing gears or stopping completely. Your car will go forward faster and you will have no engine braking. Rep: ? You get these gems as you gain rep from other members for making good contributions and giving helpful advice. As above.
Is it necessary to change gears sequentially?
These changes (and others) mean that the driving method that was essential in older cars is not necessary for modern driving. Because cars used to be heavy and braking systems were not as efficient as they now are, it was necessary to use the gears (or to be more precise, the engine compression) to help to slow the car down.

When do Revs shoot up in high gear?
My revs shot right up reaching roughly 5000 without any acceleration then after a few seconds the revs went back down to normal and speed eventually went faster but it’s happening all the time. 1st and 2nd work fine, but 3rd and above fail in speed and revs shoot right up all over. 3rd gear was not actually that bad at some points.

When to use lower gear or higher gear?
If you’re accelerating from a slip road onto a motorway, a lower gear with higher revs will give you more power, so you’ll be able to get up to speed quicker. If, on the other hand, you’re decelerating (slowing down), you can use a lower gear to help you brake.
