Manual transmission car starting involves 7 steps: 1. Press the clutch pedal; 2. Push the gear lever inward with your right hand, then shift up into 1st gear; 3. Turn on the left turn signal; 4. Sound the horn; 5. Release the handbrake; 6. Maintain steady throttle; 7. Gradually lift the clutch pedal. A manual transmission, also known as a stick shift, requires manually moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement mechanism inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The working principle involves using shift forks to change the transmission ratio or gear ratio of meshing gears, thereby modifying driving torque to suit different operating conditions. The gear lever can only be moved when the clutch pedal is depressed.
