How to Correctly Operate Gear Shifting in Subject Three?

Subject Three gear shifting operation correct method: 1. When shifting gears, first decelerate, release the accelerator with the right foot, then press the clutch with the left foot to perform upshifting; 2. After completing the upshift, slowly release the clutch, and then press the accelerator after fully releasing it; 3. When downshifting, first release the accelerator pedal, lightly press the brake, then press the clutch with the left foot to perform downshifting; 4. After completing the downshift, slowly release the clutch, and then press the accelerator after fully releasing it. The basic principles of gear shifting are: upshift first increase speed, downshift first decrease speed, gear and speed must match. During the test, the speed of 1st gear must not exceed 20km/h; 2nd gear speed must not exceed 30km/h; 3rd gear speed must not be lower than 20km/h and must not exceed 40km/h; 4th gear speed must not be lower than 30km/h; 5th gear speed must not be lower than 40km/h.
I remember always worrying about making mistakes when practicing gear shifting, but later realized the key lies in matching speed and gear. After starting, shift to 2nd gear when the speed reaches 15-20km/h - at this point, quickly depress the clutch pedal fully with your left foot while smoothly shifting gears with your right hand in one fluid motion without hesitation. Shift to 3rd gear at 25-30km/h, and to 4th gear around 40km/h. For downshifting, do the reverse: shift to 3rd gear when speed drops to 35km/h, and to 2nd gear at 25km/h. During shifting, you must keep your eyes on the road ahead - never look down at the gear lever as this is strictly forbidden in tests. After shifting, gently release the clutch while lightly tapping the accelerator to prevent vehicle shuddering. It's best to practice multiple times in a closed area before the test to develop a feel for coordinating the accelerator and clutch, which leads to smoother operation.
