Should You Engage the Handbrake or Shift Gears First When Parking?

[VanEli]

Shift gears first. When starting the car, you must first press the clutch and shift gears, then release the handbrake, and press the clutch and accelerator to get the car moving. The reason for shifting gears first is that the traction force can control the car, preventing it from rolling back after engaging the handbrake. Below is an introduction to the clutch and handbrake: 1. Clutch: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, with the clutch assembly fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel using screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Handbrake: The professional term for the handbrake is the auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the main brake, it uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force to the car.
