Can You Release the Clutch Immediately After Shifting to Second Gear?

[DeSamuel]

You should not release the clutch directly after shifting to second gear. After shifting to second gear, you need to gently lift the clutch and slowly apply the throttle—you cannot release the clutch immediately. Releasing the clutch too quickly: After pressing the clutch and shifting gears, the car's speed has not yet increased, so the clutch should be released gradually. Releasing the clutch too quickly can cause the engine to stall. You can wait until the clutch is fully released before applying the throttle, as coordinating the clutch and throttle requires relatively high skill. Proper clutch usage: The clutch pedal should only be pressed when braking at speeds below 20 km/h—pressing it at higher speeds does not aid braking. Of course, during emergency braking, both the brake and clutch should be pressed simultaneously.
