Should the clutch be released quickly or gently after shifting gears in a manual transmission?

After shifting gears in a manual transmission, the clutch should be released gently. Manual transmission shifting method: When shifting gears, the clutch must be fully depressed. If the clutch is released too quickly after shifting, the speed and gear will not match, leading to engine stalling, which is very common during the second driving test. However, if the clutch is released too slowly, although the engine won't stall, high engine RPMs can affect the driving experience. Shifting precautions: Start in 1st gear. Due to higher resistance, it is not recommended to release the clutch too quickly. Beginners often stall because they release the clutch too fast, but experienced drivers will apply a bit of throttle before releasing the clutch, ensuring a quick start without stalling.
