Do You Need to Accelerate When Downshifting?
1 Answers
Downshifting does not require acceleration. Here are the details about downshifting: Downshifting Operation Introduction: When downshifting, release the accelerator pedal, quickly press the clutch pedal, shift the gear lever into neutral, then release the clutch pedal. Quickly tap the accelerator pedal with your right foot (adding "empty throttle"), press the clutch pedal again quickly, shift the gear lever into a lower gear, and release the clutch pedal following the fast-stop-slow technique to allow the car to continue driving in the new gear. Downshifting Timing Introduction: While driving, if you feel the engine lacks power and the speed gradually decreases, it indicates that the current gear can no longer maintain normal driving. You should promptly and quickly shift to a lower gear. If the speed drops significantly, you can skip a gear when downshifting.
