The correct method for shifting gears in a manual transmission is: 1. Shift gears according to the vehicle speed; 2. If you notice the car shaking while driving, it indicates the engine is operating at low speed with high load. In this case, you should downshift by one or two gears based on the actual situation; 3. Coordinate the clutch and throttle properly; 4. Master the correct hand position for shifting; 5. Ensure the gear is fully engaged when shifting; 6. Familiarize yourself with the special method for engaging reverse gear. Unlike an automatic transmission, a manual transmission requires proper coordination of the clutch, brake, and throttle. When starting, clutch control is crucial—depress the clutch quickly but release it slowly, and lightly press the throttle when the clutch is at the semi-engaged point to ensure a smooth start.
