How to match speed and gear for gear shifting in Subject 3?
2 Answers
Subject 3 gear shifting speed and gear matching are as follows: 1. When the speed is 0-10km/h, use 1st gear; 2. When the speed is 10-20km/h, use 2nd gear; 3. When the speed is 20-30km/h, use 3rd gear; 4. When the speed is 30-40km/h, use 4th gear. Additional information: The test content of Subject 3 includes: 1. Vehicle preparation, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operation, lane changing; 2. Driving straight through intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing bus stops, passing school zones; 3. Left turns at intersections, right turns at intersections, meeting vehicles, overtaking, U-turns, pulling over, and night driving.
As a veteran driving instructor, the key to gear shifting in Subject 3 is matching speed with gear. First gear is for starting, suitable for 0-15 km/h; shift to second gear immediately after moving, which works for 10-25 km/h; third gear shifts smoothest at 20-30 km/h; fourth gear requires exceeding 35 km/h. Remember to accelerate before upshifting and decelerate before downshifting. For example, to engage fourth gear, throttle must exceed 35 km/h, while downshifting to third requires slowing below 30 km/h. Always fully depress the clutch when shifting, and avoid looking down at the gear lever. Mastering this coordination ensures smooth, fast shifts without stalling, guaranteeing a first-time pass.
