How to Operate Gear Shifting in a Car?

[DiDamian]

Methods for operating gear shifting in a car: 1. Start in first gear, shift to second gear after the vehicle starts moving, and upshift progressively without skipping gears; 2. Complete each gear shift in one smooth motion—avoid forcing the lever as it can damage the gears, harm mechanical components, and potentially cause accidents; 3. Familiarize yourself with the positions of commonly used gears, which are clearly marked on the gear shift knob. During the starting phase, place the gear in neutral, depress the clutch, turn on the ignition, engage first gear, gradually release the clutch while applying the throttle to start the car. During acceleration, as the engine speed increases, shift into the appropriate gear according to the vehicle's speed.
