Can I shift from 3rd to 5th?

It does not harm if you upshift from 3rd to 5th, skipping the 4th, under "right conditions" (you don't lug the engine or put stress on the transmission). Infact, automatic transmissions like the Volvo I-Shift precisely does this by monitoring the vehicle load, speed etc among other vehicle parameters.

Re: Upshifting from 3rd to 5th - Good or Bad practice

Why do it- Plain lazyness. I don't believe there are proven benifits or otherwise to the life of the cluth eitherways. But having to press the clutch less may enhance the life of my left knee pad for sure. While shifting down going from 5th to 3rd is quite frequent or at times even 2nd on rare occations (when braking for a speed bump). Bottomline wish my Aria had a DSG 6 speed AT to do away with the 5 speed manual. Lesser the shifts the less we tired we get. Due to the same bit of lazyness I also tend to at times drive at speeds of 100+ in 3rd gear when the shift up followed by going back down is going to be for a shot period of say 5-7 secs. Similarly at times drive at 100-120 in 4th and don't shift up to 5th. Have driven this way even with my earlier TCIC Safari and the clutch did last till about 60K kms each time. So don't see a major impact either way. I do shift a lot of times from 3rd to 5th on all my MT vehicles, but after giving it a bit of a rev in 3rd before shifting.Why do it- Plain lazyness.

What is a 12 9 shift called?

glassdoor.com - What Is a Swing Shift? - Glassdoor Career Guides

A swing shift is when an employee works at different intervals throughout the day and night. For example, rather than working a traditional 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. workday, you may work from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. one day, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. the next day, and 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. after that. Swing shift schedules are most common in organizations that require continuous operations throughout the day and night. Companies require swing shift hours to ensure that productivity remains stable throughout the day and night and that services are available to meet the needs of their clients. Each swing shift schedule will vary, and some companies offer the choice of different shifts or provide flexibility so you can choose certain shifts on certain days to accommodate your home life and other responsibilities. Some people find swing shifts very convenient and even prefer to work hours that are outside of the more traditional workday.
