1 Answers
Manual transmission first gear to second gear shifting method: After starting, when the vehicle speed reaches 15-20km/h, you can shift to second gear by pulling the gear lever left and then back smoothly to engage second gear. Below are some tips for shifting from first to second gear in a manual transmission: 1. Place in neutral before shifting: Before shifting to second gear, first place the gear lever in neutral, then shift to second gear based on speed. 2. Do not shift too quickly: Shifting too quickly can easily cause wear and tear on the transmission. Shifting techniques can be summarized with the following mnemonic: 1. 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4 are all "straight-line" movements. 2. 5 to 4, 4 to 3, 2 to 1 are also "straight-line" movements. 3. 4 to 5, 3 to 2 are "curved" movements. Below are some bad habits to avoid when shifting gears in a manual transmission car: 1. Shifting without returning to neutral. 2. Using the clutch instead of neutral. 3. Reducing speed without downshifting, using the half-clutch to bring the speed back. 4. Habitually resting the left foot on the clutch pedal during normal driving.
