Why does rpm go higher before shifting gears on 1994 Honda Accord?

The engine is turning more revolutions at the lower gear. Once you shift into a higher gear the rpms drop.


What is granny shifting?

Granny shifting is changing up gears before (roughly) 6000rpm. Its how most people would drive on a daily basis, but in street racing the rpm is pushed as high as possible to get the extra power output on the upchange of the gears. another definition is changing gears before hitting the red zone on the tachometer.

When do you shift gears on a street bike?

Shifting gears on a street bike depends on two things: your desired speed/mode of travel, and the engine revolutions, in RPM, of your machine. There is a point where the RPM meter shows such a low rev, that shifting gears at this point will stall the engine, stopping the motor. Shifting to first gear, which is the largest and most powerful gear in your engine, should be the easiest, starting off at about 1,500 to 2,500 RPM, while slowly releasing your clutch. Here's where the desired speed/mode of travel comes in: are you revving up for a fast ride, or are you just cruising slowly, taking in the sights? If you're on a race-track, or on a clear, safe, familiar highway, revving to a fast ride will mean accelerating to 8,500 RPM or more, before releasing the accelerator slightly, depressing your clutch lever, shifting to 2nd gear, and releasing clutch while revving up to 8,500 RPM or so, again to shift to 3rd. If you are cruising slowly, changing gears at 2,500 to 3,000 RPM should give you a steady, comfortable cruising shift without stalling your engine. Remember: the higher the gear you are shifting to, the higher your engine revolutions should be.

What does RPM in a car mean?

RPM is short for Revolutions Per Minute. It is the measurement of how many times your engine is rotating each minute. As you accelerate, your RPM will increase until the next gear is selected, lowering the RPM. RPM is the whole reason for transmissions: if there was only one gear the RPM would get so high that the engine would become damaged. By shifting into higher gears, the RPM is lower and you get better gas mileage.

What is causing my 1998 ford ranger 4-cylinder 5 spd manual battery light on the dash flickers on when shifting from 1st2nd or 3rd but not 4th 5th or downshifting?

You may have a weak alternator, or you may be shifting to early. Entering a higher gear will drop the rpm down to much, and the alternator will not be turning fast enough to put out the proper voltage, and the light will come on. This would not be noticeable with the 4 to 5 shift because of the smaller rpm change, and down shifting would have an opposite effect(engine RPM increases). Let the rpm build up a little more before shifting.
