What are the key points for gear usage in Subject 3?
1 Answers
Subject 3 gear usage essentials are as follows: Gear shifting movements should be clean and decisive: Generally, the right hand should face downward when shifting gears. The gear shifting movement must be clean and decisive, while paying attention to technique—avoid using brute force and focus on finding the engagement point. Depress the clutch fully when shifting gears: If the clutch is not fully depressed when shifting gears, it will be difficult to engage the gear or produce a grinding noise. Engaging a gear without fully depressing the clutch or releasing the clutch while engaging will make the gear lever heavy regardless of the gear. Forcing the gear into place with brute force can damage the gears, create loud noises, and in severe cases, may cause the engine to stall.
