i was topping a grade and up shifting through the gears and missed 10th gear with over 40 k. before i knew it i was up past 62. the engine dropped to 700 rpm and i couldn't get it back in any gear. i put on the brakes to slow it down and then the engine speed came back up with my foot on the throttle.
after i experienced this i tried to experiment a little if i could keep up engine speed by running up to 65 on the short downgrades and taking it out of gear. when engine speed dropped to 700 i put my foot on gas and then brake at the same time and the engine speed came up to where i could get it back in gear.
i know the detroits don't do this, at least not the orange and blue i tried today.
anyone else have any takes on this?
