Manual transmission shifting clutch and throttle coordination method: First, place the gear in the neutral position, start the car and press the clutch pedal all the way down, then shift the gear into the 1st gear position. After that, slowly release the clutch. When you feel the car slightly vibrate and start to move forward, gradually press the throttle while continuing to release the clutch until it is completely released, ensuring the car starts smoothly. During normal driving, the left foot should rest on the car floor, not on the clutch pedal. This is because while driving, if the left foot is placed on the clutch, the inertia will exert pressure on the clutch, accelerating its wear.
