1 Answers
Manual transmission cars can shift gears without pressing the clutch. The steps to start a manual transmission car are: 1. Press the clutch; 2. Push the gear lever inward with your right hand, then push it up into first gear; 3. Turn on the left turn signal; 4. Honk the horn; 5. Release the handbrake; 6. Steady the throttle; 7. Lift the clutch pedal. A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox, requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. The working principle of a manual transmission involves using the shift fork to change the gear ratio or tooth ratio of the engaged gears, thereby altering the driving torque to suit different operating conditions.
