How to Operate Manual Gear Shifting?

[StAmy]

Manual gear shifting is operated as follows: 1. Gently press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot; 2. Hold the gear lever lightly with your right hand and shift gears according to the current speed. The shifting action should be gentle, quick, and done in one step. When upshifting, do not skip gears to prevent a mismatch between the gear and the engine speed; 3. Slowly release the clutch with your left foot, and depending on the speed, you can lightly press the accelerator pedal with your right foot to complete a gear shift. The gears of a manual transmission car are: 1. First gear is the starting gear, used for vehicle start-up; 2. Second gear is the passing gear, used for navigating complex road surfaces and handling complicated situations; 3. Third gear is the transition gear, used for low-speed driving on urban roads; 4. Fourth gear is the driving gear, used for prolonged high-speed driving; 5. Fifth gear is the high-speed gear, used for long-distance highway driving.
