What Are the Basic Knowledge Points of Manual Transmission?

[VanOlive]

Basic knowledge of manual transmission includes mastering the timing of gear shifting and the coordination between throttle and clutch during vehicle start-up. Mastering the timing of gear shifting: The optimal timing for gear shifting essentially involves keeping the engine operating within its optimal RPM range as much as possible. Coordination between throttle and clutch during vehicle start-up: First, place the gear lever in neutral, start the engine, then depress the clutch pedal, shift into first gear, and gradually release the clutch while applying throttle to start the car. During driving, the coordination between throttle and clutch needs to be adjusted according to the vehicle speed, because as the speed increases, the time available for the driver to operate decreases inversely. When releasing the clutch, the action must be quick. At the same time, to ensure smooth gear shifting, the throttle must also be well controlled to avoid pressing the throttle unnecessarily during the shifting process.
