Question : y my ride change the gears automatically even I'm using in manual pedal shift mode ? Things happen everytime when I rev my 1st gears till 6000rpm than change to 2nd gear, when it's around 3000rpm++ in 2nd gear, the gearbox
automatically jump to 3~4th quickly even I didn't press in anything...does this happening is common to all the owners here ?

Bro, read your manual book. It is one of the safety feature to prevent over rev and damage the engine. It will change to lower gear when reach specific RPM.

Wait a sec.... I know the engine will switch to lower gear when ur speed decreases below the certain speed range for the gear...

But wat tokyoboy was asking is, his gears automatically changed to higher gears even without changing it... tats a bit weird... hmm.gif

Ya ya it will automatically switch to higher gears if I rev the 1st n 2nd gear to higher rpm, n it will automatically jump 1 to 2 gears up...witch means if 1st gears I'm in high rpm probly like 6000rpm than when I shift to 2nd gear n clock at around 3~4000rpm than it will jump thru 3th gear automatically which same like 2nd gear jump to 4th gear, this issue cause Me cannot use the higher rpm to push up each gears manually for a better pickup...does this issue is same like "irangan" said is all because the ecu to protect the engine ??
