Which gear do you skip the most?
 
I'm interested to see which gear you guys show the least amount of love to.

It seems I'm always skipping 5th, and going straight to 6th from 4th. My coworker seems to skip 3rd and go 2nd to 4th. I always joke with him and say "If you ever sell the BRZ, you can list it with '3rd gear barley used!'"

Anyways, which gear do you skip?

i skip 4th @@ for cruising cus if the shift indicator showed 40mph is already 5th/6th gear. (i forgot which gear)
so i usually 1,2,3,5, for normal DD.

I never skip gears.

I also rarely skip gears, if I do, chances are I just miss-shifted and went 3-5, 2-4...(only happens upshifting)

Sometimes skip 5th... on the way down... :ugh:

the gear I shift the least to is 6th... but 6th is also the gear I use the longest lol. in city driving, I usually keep it at 5th unless there's no traffic and I'm cruising a good speed. then of course 6th is the longest used gear because of my weekly commutes

I head is bad to skip gears. However, sometimes i do it when im entering a tight corner and im in sixth gear and need to be in 3rd before going into the corner.. What i do is revmatch on downshift from sixth to third.. but like i said i rarely do this.

Not sure if its good or bad.

I paid for 6 I am going to use all of them damnit!
