What should be paid attention to when shifting gears?

[VonRiver]

There are two points to note when shifting gears. When shifting gears: Keep your eyes on the road ahead, maintain the correct driving posture, hold the steering wheel steadily with one hand, and lightly grip the gear lever knob with the other hand. Do not lower your head to look at the operating parts to avoid dangerous deviations in direction. If the gear cannot be engaged or the gears make noise, do not force it; after moving the gear lever to the neutral position, do not shake it back and forth to avoid affecting the timing of gear shifting and damaging the components. After shifting gears: Do not leave your left foot idle on the clutch pedal, as this can easily cause the clutch to be semi-engaged, increasing mechanical wear. Place your foot on the floor of the cab. When shifting gears while driving, except in special circumstances, do not skip gears. When shifting into reverse gear while driving, the car must come to a complete stop before shifting to avoid damaging the components.
