Thread: Low to high on the move

Yes,
I occasionally do it 2nd low to 2nd high with a double shuffle (double de clutch), but don't find a need for it generally.

I had to do it once when I had nothing but fourth on an LT77 and 200km in front of me.

do it occasionally in the bush in the series3 to go from high 4 back to 2 without stopping. still not moving very fast though

Have no option if towing a Caravan off from the lights on a hill in a TD5
Owners booklet even suggests it.

We do occasionally with the camper on board...makes taking off so much easier with the heavy load especially on a slight rise

Defintely possible - you just need some mechnical sympathy when easing it into low/high range.

depending how much slop you have in the rest of your drivetrain it may make it easier to engage on the fly. its actually easier to change in and out of low/high when the car is slightly moving (~5kph)

I used to do it all the time when towing,saves the clutch. Pat

Low-high is easy.

High-low on the move is the harder one. Just make sure you are only doing ~5 km/h.
