How to shift from second gear to third gear in Subject 3?
2 Answers
First, control the speed using the accelerator and brake. When upshifting, reach the required speed, and when downshifting, reduce to the required speed. First, shift the gear to the neutral position, then do not grip the gear lever to shift. Instead, let your palm hang downward and push the gear lever forward with your palm to engage third gear.
When I first learned to drive, shifting from second to third gear was always a bit chaotic. The operation is simple: first, press the clutch pedal with your left foot to disconnect the engine from the wheels, otherwise, the gear shift will make a clunking sound. Gently push the gear lever with your right hand to the third gear position, which is slightly to the upper right in the middle. Don't rush to release the clutch; lift it slowly while simultaneously pressing the accelerator with your right foot to match the speed. If you lift the clutch too quickly, the car will jerk and stall; too slowly, and it will wear out the parts. When practicing, pay attention to the speed—generally, you can shift from second gear at around 20 km/h. During the driving test (Subject 3), the movements should be smooth; the examiner looks for fluidity without hesitation. Don't be nervous; with a few more days of practice, it will become second nature. The key is finding the right coordination between the clutch and accelerator. Once you get the hang of it, driving becomes truly enjoyable.
