How to Shift Gears Without Stalling the Engine?

[LeAlana]

To shift gears without stalling the engine, the method is as follows: If upshifting, first press the accelerator to increase speed; if downshifting, first press the brake to reduce speed. There are three key driving techniques for automatic transmission vehicles: 1. When waiting at a red light: Depending on driving habits, you can temporarily stop by pressing the brake while keeping the gear in D, as the torque converter in the transmission is equipped with a reaction wheel with a one-way clutch, which amplifies the torque from the engine crankshaft. It does not rotate at engine idle speed and only engages when the engine speed increases. 2. When starting to move: Press the brake pedal before moving the gearshift from P or N to a driving gear. Release the brake pedal, and the vehicle will start moving slowly. The purpose of pressing the brake in advance is to ensure the safety of both the driver and the vehicle. 3. When starting the engine: The engine can only be started when the gearshift is in P or N. If the gearshift is in a driving gear such as D or R, the engine will not start.
