How to Decelerate a Manual Transmission Car?
1 Answers
When decelerating a manual transmission car, you should press the brake while downshifting. First, release the accelerator to cut off the forward power, allowing the vehicle to decelerate through air resistance and ground friction. You can combine this with braking for quicker deceleration. When the vehicle is about to shake in the current gear, quickly downshift and then slowly release the clutch to shift into the appropriate gear. A manual transmission, or manual gearbox, requires the driver to manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed adjustment. The working principle of a manual transmission: The shift fork changes the gear ratio of the meshing gears, thereby altering the driving torque to suit different driving conditions.
