Can You Release the Clutch in First Gear?

[StIvan]

After releasing the clutch, keep your foot on the clutch pedal, pay attention to the surrounding conditions, and control the speed. Move in stop-and-go traffic, using half-clutch and half-brake, and the road will become smooth. Then, accelerate, increase speed, press the clutch, and shift gears. Generally, when the gear is in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, your foot should lightly rest on the clutch pedal because you need to shift gears or use half-clutch at any time. This is also why many people say manual transmissions are difficult to drive and prefer automatic transmissions. Automatic starting steps: Get in the car, fasten the seatbelt, and adjust the seat. Quickly press the clutch pedal and shift into first gear. Turn on the signal light, check the surroundings (both side mirrors), and release the handbrake. Quickly lift the clutch to the semi-engagement position, pause slightly, then slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to ensure a smooth start.
