What are the techniques for downshifting in a manual transmission car?
1 Answers
Manual transmission car shifting methods are as follows: 1. Before shifting, always press the clutch pedal all the way down. When operating the gear shift lever, the action should be quick, gentle, and precise. 2. While driving, pay attention to choosing the right time to shift. Before upshifting, always accelerate first. When the vehicle speed reaches the appropriate speed for the next higher gear, shift to the higher gear promptly. 3. When downshifting, as the speed drops to a certain level, shift to the lower gear. Note: 1. Using the appropriate high gear should be done under safe and good road conditions to reduce wear on mechanical parts and lower fuel consumption. Adjust the speed in time according to road and traffic conditions. Avoid driving at low speed with high gear, as the knocking caused by lugging the engine can be harmful to the engine and transmission. 2. For manual transmission cars, remember the principle of "accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting." Before upshifting, "rev" the throttle to increase the speed first. Before downshifting, "release" the throttle to reduce the speed first. Before shifting, always press the clutch pedal all the way down, and the operation of the gear shift lever should be light, quick, gentle, and precise.
