I have a stick shift corolla and my question is that if I switch to the 5th gear at the speed of 30mph (I do that to drive in the highest gear to save gas) the engine does not loose power but it clearly seems unhappy. What effect does changing to 5th gear at the speed of 30-35mph have on the engine?
Secondly, I am trying to determine if the car's allignment is out, but I cannot make the steering stay in the middle. The moment I release the steering while driving it shifts slightly to the right. Is it cuz the allignment is out or cuz the steering has a lot of play?
Thanks, Wajahat
