not overdrive... it depends how fast ur going
You will smell it burning and your engine will slip as you pull away in first gear and while going uphill.
no you do not have to do this, you can simply stop before you put it in nutral and then cange into 4th gear depending on which truck this is
Going uphill takes more power than going on the flat, so unless you can add more power, you have to trade some speed for power to be able to go uphill.
If it is an automatic transmission going uphill it will downshift to a lower gear for more torque.
You're driving an automatic, the car should select the correct gear for you. However some automatics allow the driver to select low gears for use in slow moving traffic for example. If you feel you need more power when driving uphill then select one of the lower gears.
There is no synchronizer gear in these, so you do the synchronization. You're not going to learn about it by reading about it... perhaps a truck driving school would be in order.
It depends on two factors; Wether you are stopped or wether you are already moving. To go uphill you need the gear with the most torque, thus first gear. If you are already moving and the car gradually loses torque ( slowing down ) Downshift a gear until the car picks up speed. You can also kkep an eye on the rev. meter. The lower the rpm the more chances you have of losing torque and slowing down. Be especially carefull trying to start uphill from a complete stop as the car will start going downhill as you lift your foot off the brake. Timing is essential. If you are scared try pulling the e-brake as you lift your foot off the brake pedal and gently release it as your foot presses on the gas pedal. Practice makes perfect. Drive safely
Going uphill, riding over soft terrain, or riding somewhere tricky where you need to be able to go slow.
shift to a lower gear
When you depress the clutch pedal all the way down the clutch brake stops the input shaft from rotating. This allows the transmission to be put in gear. Never depress the clutch fully ( all the way to the floor) when the truck is moving in any gear. The clutch brake is about the size of a compact disc and cannot stop the input shaft when the truck is moving in gear. This will destroy the clutch brake.
Is the vehicles transmission downshifting to a lower gear as you go uphill? If not, that would be your first place to look. After that I would suspect that your engine timing is not autmatically advancing as it should be.
