Subject Three gear shifting operation techniques include shifting step by step, shifting quickly, and shifting steadily. The specific explanations are as follows: Shifting step by step: The road test strictly prohibits skipping gears. Gear changes must be done step by step, such as from first gear to second gear, and second gear to third gear. Otherwise, the test recorder will record it and deduct corresponding points. Shifting quickly: The key point of shifting gears is to be fast, completing the actions of pressing the clutch, shifting gears, and stepping on the accelerator as quickly as possible. Shifting steadily: When shifting gears, the clutch must be fully depressed, and gear changes should only occur when the vehicle reaches a certain speed range.

The key to gear shifting in Subject 3 lies in coordinated movements and smooth operation. While driving, I always check the speedometer before each gear change to ensure the speed matches the gear. For example, accelerate to around 30 km/h before upshifting, and decelerate to an appropriate speed before downshifting. Depress the clutch decisively and completely, shift the gear lever swiftly, and gently release the clutch while lightly applying the throttle to maintain power. This helps avoid jerking or stalling. Common points deducted during the test are improper timing of gear shifts or stiff movements, so I recommend practicing more on open roads to develop good habits. Remember not to release the clutch too quickly or stomp on the throttle, as this can cause the vehicle to shake and compromise safety. Through repeated practice, I've learned to judge engine sound changes by ear, reducing reliance on the dashboard for a smoother drive.
