What is the correct method for shifting gears in a manual transmission?

The correct method for shifting gears in a manual transmission car is: 1. When starting, press the clutch all the way down, shift into first gear, release the handbrake, slowly release the clutch, and lightly press the accelerator while releasing the clutch; 2. Shift gears quickly and avoid looking down during the process; 3. Do not skip gears when shifting—always shift up or down one gear at a time. Skipping gears can cause discontinuous power delivery; 4. Do not coast in neutral when going downhill, as it reduces the engine braking effect; 5. Drive slower in rain or snow. The principle of a manual transmission is to manually move the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. Precautions for starting a manual transmission car: 1. Do not release the clutch too quickly—lift it gradually; 2. Press the accelerator only after the engine and driveshaft are connected; 3. Lightly press the accelerator during the semi-clutch phase before fully releasing the clutch.
