I thought I read here that it is best to use Low gear unless going faster than 40 mph because Low gear is easier on the clutch and belt. Based on my limited experience, I would think High is best as long as one is cruising at 15 mph or faster and not climbing. This shouldn’t be any harder on the clutch or belts and puts far fewer revs on the engine. I’d rather wear out the belt and clutch than the engine valves, rings, and bearings etc. Am I missing something?
There are exceptions. Low gear is best for sportier driving like power slides and faster acceleration. I would think Low would be best anytime its in 4wd.
Unfortunately the Operators Guide for my 2010 Renegade 500 doesn’t say anything about this.
