Is It Okay To Skip Gears In A Manual Transmission?

We're going to be answering the question  is it ok to skip gears in a manual  transmission so by  skip gears for example  going from first gear to third gear or  for example going from fifth gear down  to second gear now this is a question  I've seen pop up in the comments section  so it's something I thought I would  address and you know we're going to  start with talking about up shifting  then we'll talk about down shifting and  then finally get into starting from a stop now.

Manual transmissions by design  allow you to choose any gear any time  that doesn't necessarily mean you should  but by design they allow you to unlike  sequential transmissions which force you  to go one two three four five six six  five four three two one  in order to shift gears now for up  shifting.

There's really no problem if  for example you're let's say you're down  in second gear and then you want to  shift down to fourth gear the only thing  you're going to want to do is wait a  little bit longer once you press the  clutch in for those reps to drop because  since you're going into a taller gear  you're going to be at a lower rpm, if you release that clutch quickly  what's going to happen....
