Re: When to shift into low [dumb question]
When Im going down a steep hill on the highway my Blazer picks up a lot of speed. Ill be at 50 at the top of a hill and if i dont brake I soon find myself going 80 mph. Cops love hanging out at the bottom of these hills but I feel like a fool braking up all the time on a straight clear road so I downshift so I dont roll too fast into a speed trap. I have a corolla automatic and I do this all the time with no tranny problems so I figured it would be the same for my blazer. Let me know if Im wrong but those gears are there for a reason.
