How to downshift for overtaking without jerking?
1 Answers
To downshift for overtaking without jerking, follow these steps: depress the clutch, downshift, release the clutch, and press the accelerator. As your left foot releases the clutch pedal, your right foot should simultaneously press the accelerator pedal. Proper coordination between the throttle and clutch will prevent jerking. Remember to release the clutch slowly. Additional information: The principle is to control the engine speed so that the pressure plate approaches the speed of the friction plate. Because the speed difference is small, the impact intensity when the clutch engages is reduced, thus eliminating the jerking sensation. Simply put: when downshifting, you need to blip the throttle to prevent the RPM from dropping, which avoids the jerking feeling.
