How to Downshift a Manual Transmission?
1 Answers
After reducing speed (specific speed depends on your judgment, but don't drop too much on highways—around 70-75 km/h is appropriate). Press the clutch and shift into neutral, pause for about two seconds, then shift into fourth gear, and slowly release the clutch. For low-speed driving when downshifting from third to second gear, it's simpler: just decelerate (or don't decelerate if preferred) and press the clutch directly. From third gear, push into neutral, wait two to three seconds, then shift into second gear while gradually releasing the clutch. Avoid releasing the clutch too quickly, as this may cause the car to jerk or lurch forward.
