1 Answers
Manual transmission cars require specific steps to stop and start at traffic lights: 1. Shift to neutral and engage the handbrake to bring the car to a complete stop; 2. To start, press the clutch, shift into first gear, and then release the clutch. A manual transmission car uses a manual gear-shifting mechanism to adjust speed, requiring the driver to manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. The gears in a manual transmission are categorized as follows: 1. First gear is the starting gear, used when initiating movement; 2. Second gear is the passing gear; 3. Third gear is the transition gear; 4. Fourth gear is the cruising gear; 5. Fifth gear is the high-speed gear.
