The correct method to decelerate when driving a manual transmission car at high speed is: 1. First, release the accelerator pedal and apply the brakes to slow down; 2. Reduce the speed to an appropriate level based on the actual road conditions; 3. Depress the clutch pedal, shift the gear lever to the gear that matches the speed, and continue driving. A manual transmission requires the driver to manually shift the gear lever to change the gear meshing mechanism inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. A manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, generating speed and torque variations through different gear combinations. The principle is based on the leverage effect, where the largest diameter gear in the lowest gear with the longest radius amplifies the engine torque to assist the vehicle in starting forward movement.
