Accelerate First or Shift Gears First?

[EvelynFitz]

Speed determines the gear, not the gear determines the speed. Therefore, accelerate first, then shift gears. Specific details are as follows: 1. Gear shifting: The clutch is used for shifting gears. It is not necessary to accelerate before upshifting or brake before downshifting. Gear shifting is entirely determined by the current speed and RPM. Additionally, release the throttle when pressing the clutch to shift gears. Upshifting and downshifting are coordinated with the clutch, not with the throttle or brake. Just like turning requires steering the wheel to be effective; simply accelerating or decelerating won't make the turn. 2. Transmission and braking system: These are two completely independent systems. For AT or CVT transmissions using a torque converter, the braking system only needs to transmit a signal. For dual-clutch transmissions with multi-plate clutches, the braking system controls the semi-engaged state of the multi-plate clutches.
