What is the correct way to downshift a car?

Correct steps for downshifting a car: 1. Before shifting, you must fully depress the clutch pedal, and the operation of the gear lever should be light, fast, gentle, and precise; 2. First reduce the speed to the appropriate range, and then proceed with shifting. When driving at high speeds, the gears in the transmission are also rotating with the engine. During movement, because the engine speed is relatively low at high speeds while the transmission speed is high, downshifting when the engine speed is insufficient and the transmission speed is too high will cause abnormal noises. When downshifting, if you cannot engage the lower gear, you need to rev the engine to increase its speed to match the transmission speed before you can successfully engage the lower gear.
