Skip Shift\u00a0– What Is It?<\/h2>\n

As you approach a corner, if you have to downshift from, let\u2019s say, 4th<\/sup> to 2nd<\/sup> gear, there are two ways you can do so:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You can downshift from 4th<\/sup> to 3rd<\/sup>, and then from 3rd<\/sup> to 2nd<\/sup>.<\/li>\n
  2. You can downshift directly from 4th<\/sup> to 2nd<\/sup> gear, without going through 3rd<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This second method is called skip shifting, because you skip going through the intermediary gear(s).<\/p>\n

    The benefit of skip shifting is that you\u2019re doing less. Anytime you do less, that\u2019s less opportunity for an error, and it can help you be smoother. The downside of skip shifting is that it\u2019s harder to get the timing just right so you don\u2019t either over-rev the engine, or over-slow your car.<\/p>\n
