Shifting a 13-speed transmission can be challenging, especially for new drivers. However, with practice and experience, drivers can learn to shift in a variety of ways to improve their driving performance and reduce wear and tear on the transmission.

One way to shift a 13-speed transmission differently is to skip gears. While this may not be suitable for all driving situations, it can be helpful in certain circumstances, such as when climbing a steep hill or accelerating quickly. Skipping gears involves shifting directly from one gear to another without shifting through all the intermediate gears. For example, instead of shifting from 4th gear to 5th gear, a driver can shift directly from 4th gear to 7th gear, skipping 5th and 6th gears.

Another technique for shifting a 13-speed transmission is to float the gears. This involves shifting gears without using the clutch pedal. Floating gears requires a certain level of skill and experience, as it requires the driver to match the engine speed with the transmission speed in order to shift smoothly. This technique can be useful in situations where the driver needs to shift quickly or wants to reduce clutch wear.
