Shifting gears in a manual transmission does not require pressing the brake. Detailed information about manual transmission shifting is as follows: 1. When shifting gears, the clutch and throttle must be coordinated properly. Press the clutch all the way down, then immediately release the throttle pedal, and quickly shift to the corresponding gear. After shifting, release your hand immediately and avoid keeping it on the gear lever for too long, as this can easily damage the lever. 2. It is also important to use the correct hand position when shifting gears. Many drivers often neglect the proper hand position, sometimes casually using two or three fingers to shift, which is neither standard nor safe. The correct hand position is to cover the gear lever head with your palm facing downward and then shift gears.

How to Remove Paint Sprayed on a Car?

If paint is sprayed on a car, you can remove it by wiping with cotton yarn or a soft cloth soaked in gasoline or rubber solvent while the paint is still wet. Here is some relevant information: 1. Precautions: Scrub rather than soak. Be careful not to use too much solvent, as this will prevent damage to the original paint. If the paint is sparse and has already dried and cured, it may be safer to directly use car (polishing) wax to grind it off. 2. Disadvantages: The consequences of paint drifting onto a car are very serious, and over time, it will definitely affect the gloss of the car's paint. If it splashes onto the glass, it will directly affect visibility while driving, reducing safety.
