When driving a stick shift, you shift up as the engine begins to rev in each gear. You will downshift as the engine begins to slow.

Listen to the engine. if it sounds like its working too hard, or if the accelerator pedal is really sensitive, its time to shift. If its bogging down, its time to downshift.


If you are driving a stick shift car how do you know when to change into 5th gear?

Normally you have to listen to the RPM rate to know when to change into ANY gear on a stick-shift/manual transmission car. Changing between fourth and fifth gear isn't any different from changing between, say, 3rd and 4th. I wouldn't bother keeping too much of an eye on the RPM meter, because if you listen closely the engine will tell you when it is necessary to change the gear.

If your brakes go out while driving, first shift the vehicle into neutral and then apply the emergency brake. If neither of these slows the vehicle, turn on your safety lights and get into the right lane.
