Well, driving at highway speeds in any vehicle in 2nd gear, will raise the RPM of the engine, meaning that the engine is working that much harder to maintain the speed. As the engine constantly revs at a higher RPM, it heats up alot quicker, which in the end could do alot of damage to your car. And if its a Lexus, i would advise to SWITCH gears and keep an eye on your RPM and temperature gauge

What is engine braking on a Lexus hybrid?

Engine Brake: One way to reduce speed by shift down the gear from Higher to Lower (Eg. Driving with 120 km/h with 5th gear, by turning to Engine Brake it reduce to 4th gear that make the speed is reduced) It's very helpful when driving with high speed.


What does driving at low speed 20mph in second gear for 10 - 15 minutes do to your car?

Nothing. Makes the engine rev higher.


What does it mean to get it in gear?

When you are driving a car with a manual transmission, you do not move at the normal, rapid speed of driving until you have shifted into 3rd gear. So metaphorically, you can say that to do something with a suitable speed involves getting in gear.


Is gear a force multiplier or a speed multiplier?

Both. A small driving gear and a large driven gear is a force multiplier. Whilst a large driving gear and a small driven gear is a speed multiplier

What gear turns faster if the gear is smaller than the driven gear?

In a gear system, if the driving gear is smaller than the driven gear, the smaller driving gear will turn faster than the larger driven gear. This occurs because the smaller gear must complete more rotations to match the circumference of the larger gear. As a result, the speed ratio is inversely proportional to the size of the gears, meaning the smaller gear achieves a higher rotational speed.
