After Shifting Gears, Should You Press the Clutch First or Release the Throttle First?

[DelSpencer]

After shifting gears, you should release the throttle first. Below are some related introductions about gear shifting: 1. Gear Shifting Techniques: Avoid "sudden acceleration," which is both unsafe and fuel-inefficient; do not coast in neutral, as a vehicle without power becomes passive and is prone to traffic accidents. When shifting gears, always remember the principle "accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting." Before upshifting, "rev" the throttle to increase the speed first, and before downshifting, "ease off" the throttle to reduce the speed first. 2. Gear Shifting Methods: When shifting gears in a manual transmission car, the clutch must be fully depressed. If the clutch is not fully depressed while shifting, it can easily cause abnormal noises and damage the gears. Speed should match the gear. Generally, first gear corresponds to 10-20 km/h, second gear to 20-30 km/h, third gear to 30-40 km/h, fourth gear to 40-50 km/h, and fifth gear to speeds of 60 km/h or above.
