- Civic Si 2017
Thanks for the tip but I gotta ask is it really that harmful to the engine to accelerate and extra 10mph(from 70-80) in 6th gear? I know the Si is a sporty performance oriented car and I know a lot of folks like to do a lot of downshifting..personally I just don't downshift very much at highway speeds. Hopefully I don't have a serious bad habit but maybe I do.You shouldn't do that my man... The only thing you are doing accelerating in 6th gear is lugging the engine. If you want to accelerate, drop a gear or two, that way you are not putting a lot of stress on the engine, the turbo and the clutch.
