What is the operation method for manual downshifting?
1 Answers
The operation method for manual downshifting: 1. Before downshifting, you must first press the clutch pedal all the way down, and the operation of the gear lever should be light, fast, gentle, and accurate; 2. When downshifting, only when the vehicle speed drops to a certain value can you shift into a lower gear; 3. After completing the gear shift, the right hand should leave the gear lever to avoid premature wear of the shift fork. For manual transmission cars, it is essential to remember the principle of accelerating before upshifting and decelerating before downshifting. Before upshifting, step on the throttle to increase the speed first, and before downshifting, release the throttle to reduce the speed first. Early cars were not equipped with synchronizers, so the double-clutch method was used for shifting. When upshifting, follow the principle of 'press, release, press, engage,' quickly pressing the clutch pedal twice to easily increase the gear. When downshifting, follow the principle of 'press, release, lift, rev, press, engage,' pressing the clutch twice and revving the engine once between the first and second clutch presses, holding it for a moment, then pressing the second clutch pedal while simultaneously shifting the gear lever to a lower gear.
