What Speed to Shift Gears in a 5-Speed Manual Transmission?

Generally, start in first gear and shift to second after moving a few meters. Shift to third when the speed reaches above 20 mph but below 35 mph; shift to fourth when the speed is above 35 mph but below 45 mph; and shift to fifth when the speed exceeds 45 mph. Below are the speed ranges and techniques for shifting gears in a car: Speed ranges for each gear: 1st gear: Below 15 km/h; 2nd gear: 15 km/h - 30 km/h; 3rd gear: 30 km/h - 40 km/h; 4th gear: 40 km/h - 60 km/h; 5th gear: 60 km/h - 70 km/h; 6th gear: Above 70 km/h. Car shifting techniques: Master the clutch pedal operation through practice—be steady and develop good habits. Press the clutch all the way down and release it slowly. Coordinate the throttle and clutch: when starting, engage first gear, release the clutch slowly, and apply throttle at the half-clutch point. Only fully release the clutch once the car starts moving. Learn the right timing to shift gears—shift when the engine reaches around 2000 RPM. Ease off the throttle before pressing the clutch to prevent forced disengagement, then shift. Always follow the gear sequence: 1st → 2nd → 3rd → 4th → 5th. Skip-shifting is not recommended. Downshift based on speed; generally, downshift when the engine RPM drops below around 1500 RPM.
