so, is it necessary to maintain a high RPM?

paano ba? normal gas lang?

what i know is that dapat lagi kang nasa 1st gear and naka apak ka lagi sa gas. Baha experience? dami! Napasukan yung loob ng car ko, bantut! pinalinis namin agad.

pero how do you maintain high RPM without using the clutch?

best way is not to even try if you can avoid it if you are driving a car.

but if you can avoid it, put your car in 1st gear, turn off your aircon and go slow thru the water while avoiding the deeper portions of the road. Adjust your speed to be as fast as the bow wave in front of you (if the water is deep enough to create one).

pag-automatic, wala na clutch as we know it. Meron torque converter, parang donut yung shape if you can take it out.

So to try going thru a flooded road with an automatic:
-turn off aircon
-shift to the lowest gear
-proceed in a steady speed
-if you produced a bow-wave in front of you, go as fast/slow as the wave in front of you.

Always check your brakes after you leave the water.

my baha experience.
above knee high ang tubig, grabe lumusong ang kotse ko.
okay naman ang clutch at brakes pero after 2 days, alternator ko naggegenerate ng 19V~22V. Buti pinacheck ko kasi may batt umiilaw sa dashboard ko. kung hindi ko napacheck, luto ang ECU ko at putok sigurado ang mga bulbs ko.

Normal na dito yan sa Sampaloc area, kada ulan may mga areas na lubog talaga. Iwasan nyo ang Piy Margal (Instruccion-Blumentritt), Simon (Casanas-Blumentritt). Blumentritt, Calamba (Maceda-Isarog).

As much as possible try to avoid shifting gears while the vehicle is sumberged under water for manual trannys.

Matic trannys have lesser worries since, they don't have clutch openings underneath.
