The correct steps for starting a manual transmission car are: 1. Fully depress the clutch; 2. Shift into first gear; 3. Turn on the left turn signal; 4. Honk the horn to alert others; 5. Release the handbrake; 6. Gently lift the clutch with your left foot; 7. As the car begins to move, keep the clutch steady with your left foot, avoiding any pressing down or lifting motions to prevent stalling; 8. After holding steady for 3 seconds, slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator with the ball of your right foot. Slowly release the accelerator, fully depress the clutch, and shift into second gear. Repeat this process to shift into third gear, completing a smooth start. The working principle of a manual transmission: By using the shift fork to change the gear ratio of the meshing gears, the driving torque is altered to suit different driving conditions.
