Is it okay to press the brake when shifting gears in a manual transmission?

[McMakayla]

Here is the relevant introduction about the use of the clutch when shifting gears in a car: 1. You do not need to press the brake when shifting gears, but you do need to press the clutch pedal. 2. Manual transmission cars have a clutch pedal, which must be used every time you shift gears or start the car. 3. The clutch is an important component of the transmission system, located between the engine and the gearbox. 4. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the clutch disengages, and when the pedal is released, the clutch engages. 5. When shifting gears, there is no need to press the brake pedal. If the clutch pedal is not fully pressed down when shifting, the gear change will not be smooth. 6. When starting the car, the speed difference between the engine flywheel and the clutch disc is too large. If the clutch is fully engaged at this moment, it will cause the engine to stall.
