How long should the pause be when shifting gears?

[LouisLee]

There just needs to be a pause, the shorter the better, but there must be a pause. The purpose is to avoid shifting into the wrong gear. The techniques for shifting gears are as follows: Shifting: This is the substantive step in the entire shifting process. After the RPMs are synchronized, the two gears will engage smoothly, so this step will not produce any impact. Depress the clutch and release the throttle: The reason for the imbalance is the incorrect sequence of depressing the clutch and releasing the throttle. If the throttle is released before the clutch is depressed, due to the engine stopping fuel supply while the clutch is not disengaged, a "reverse drag" or engine braking phenomenon may occur, which will produce a "jerky" impact feeling. Lift the clutch and accelerate: This is the stage most prone to impact, and the control of lifting the clutch is very critical.
