Should the clutch be released quickly or slowly when upshifting?

[VonValentina]

There are two scenarios for releasing the clutch quickly or slowly when upshifting: 1. Starting off: When starting, the clutch should be released slowly. Releasing it too quickly can cause the car to stall. However, in actual driving, releasing the clutch too slowly when starting can lead to other vehicles cutting in or honking. In such cases, lightly pressing the accelerator can help, allowing the clutch to be released relatively quickly without stalling the car. 2. Shifting from a lower gear to a higher gear: In this situation, there's no need to release the clutch slowly. However, it's important to remember to shift only when the speed reaches the appropriate level for upshifting. At this point, releasing the clutch won't affect the car, and since the speed has already increased, the car won't stall. Therefore, in this scenario, whether the clutch is released quickly or slowly has little impact on the shifting process, and it will be relatively smooth either way.
