When parking a manual transmission car, you should press the clutch first. Below is an introduction to manual transmissions: 1. Introduction: A manual transmission is a gear-shifting device used to alter the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the drive wheels. It enables the car to achieve different traction forces and speeds under various conditions such as starting from a standstill, climbing hills, turning corners, and accelerating, while also allowing the engine to operate within a more favorable range. 2. Classification and Structure: A manual transmission consists of a gear-shifting mechanism, transmission housing, and control mechanism. The gear-shifting mechanism can be classified based on the number of forward gears or the type of shaft. According to the number of forward gears, it can be categorized into three-speed, four-speed, five-speed, and multi-speed transmissions. Based on the type of shaft, it can be divided into fixed-shaft and rotating-shaft transmissions.

I've been driving manual transmission cars for over ten years, and I always press the brake first when stopping. During normal deceleration, I press the clutch and shift to neutral or first gear when the speed drops to around 10km/h. This habit wasn't easy to develop. When I first started learning to drive, there was a time on a slope when I pressed the clutch first, and the car didn't slow down but kept sliding, almost hitting a roadside tree. It scared me so much I broke out in a cold sweat. Since then, I've only followed the brake-first procedure. The benefits are numerous: the car stops smoothly without stalling, saves fuel, and reduces clutch wear. Additional reminder: choose a flat spot to park, slow down earlier in rainy weather, and maintain a safe following distance. Developing this routine makes driving more reassuring.
