What is the ideal RPM for starting a manual transmission car?
1 Answers
Manual transmission cars are best started at around 1500-2000 RPM. As for when to shift gears, different people have different preferences. Some prefer to shift based on engine RPM, while others prefer to shift based on vehicle speed. Clutch pedal technique: Although the clutch pedal is small, beginners may find it challenging to operate smoothly. Generally, there are two ways to press the clutch pedal: the first is to keep the heel on the floor while pressing with the ball of the foot, and the second is to suspend the entire foot in the air while pressing the pedal. The first method is generally considered more stable and less tiring. Releasing the clutch: Many have seen beginners' cars shake violently when first practicing - this often happens when the clutch is released too quickly, causing the engine to stall. The key is to coordinate the clutch release with the engine's power output to ensure smooth vehicle movement.
