Should You Apply Partial Clutch Engagement and Accelerate After Shifting Gears?
1 Answers
When starting the car, you can apply partial clutch engagement and accelerate. However, when shifting gears, you should fully release the clutch before accelerating, otherwise, there will be a loud fuel control noise. It's essential to master the timing of gear shifting: Shift gears when the engine speed is around 2000 RPM. First, press the accelerator and then the clutch to prevent the clutch from being forcibly disengaged, then shift gears. The gear shifting sequence must be from first gear to second gear, then to third gear, fourth gear, and fifth gear. Skipping gears is not recommended. Downshifting should be based on the vehicle's speed. Generally, downshift when the engine speed drops below around 1500 RPM, depending on your car's condition. Gear Shifting: Gear shifting, abbreviated from "gear lever operation method," refers to the driver's psychological and physiological movements to continuously change the gear lever position according to road conditions and vehicle speed changes. Over time, due to its concise and straightforward name, it has become widely known. The frequency of use is very high, and the level of operational proficiency (especially in manual transmission cars) directly affects driving safety.
