Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a driver finds that they cannot get into the next higher gear, the proper action is to return to neutral, release the clutch and increase the engine rpms to match the road speed. Once this occurs, depress the clutch and try to get into gear again. It is important to avoid trying to force the vehicle into gear. This can damage gears and transmissions.
