Manual Transmission Car: Shift Gear First or Pull Handbrake First?
1 Answers
Manual transmission cars should shift gear first. Starting a manual transmission car: To start a manual transmission car, first press the brake pedal and clutch, then shift into first gear. Release the handbrake, gradually lift the clutch to the semi-engaged state, release the brake pedal, and press the accelerator to maintain the engine speed at around 1000-1200 rpm. Finally, pay attention to the coordination between the accelerator and clutch until the clutch is fully released. Stopping a manual transmission car while moving: When needing to stop while driving, bring the car to a complete stop, shift into neutral, pull up the handbrake, release the foot brake, and then you can safely release the brake and turn off the engine.
