| The Art and Science of ‘Shifting’ Gears: Part-II | ||
Preamble For, as can be easily visualised, every ‘jerk’ in motion is like a hammer blow of sorts to the entire ‘Power-Train – causing it irreversible damage to varying degrees or in other words – eating into its life. Now in Part-2, we shall explore the finer nuances of ‘shifting-gears’….. The ‘how’ of ‘shifting’ Gears! Now this is the crux of the matter. One may have noticed that I have been over emphasizing on the word ‘shift’ all along – as opposed to ‘changing’ and what not. From the couple of drgs above, it can be imagined that there’s a certain amount of ‘Linkage’ between the ‘in-cabin’ Gear Lever and eventually the ‘selectors’ inside the gearbox (see sketch alongside) –
If one tried to push it sideways to the left, gently, it will hardly offer any resistance but will move to a position between 1-2. When let go, it’ll spring back to its ‘normal’ position between 3-4. Likewise to the left, i.e. to between 5-R but this time, it’ll offer much higher resistance as if one were trying to go over a speed-breaker. This for understandable reasons, so as to prevent people from getting accidentally into the 5th or Reverse ‘zone’ unless intended. |
