Will a Manual Transmission Car Stall When Braking in Second Gear?

[IsaacFitz]

During driving, a car may stall when braking in second gear. The reason is that the excessive speed difference between the engine flywheel and the clutch disc causes severe jerking, leading to stalling. Manual transmission cars use a manual gear-shifting mechanical transmission to adjust speed. By manually moving the gear lever, the gear engagement position inside the transmission is changed to alter the gear ratio for speed adjustment. When shifting gears, it's essential to remember the principle: "accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting." Before upshifting, press the accelerator to increase speed first; before downshifting, release the accelerator to reduce speed first. When driving a manual transmission car, the gear should match the driving speed and engine RPM for a smoother and more fuel-efficient ride. Second gear is a transitional gear for acceleration after starting or for low-speed driving, typically used at around 20 km/h. It is suitable for speeds between 20-40 km/h and is most fuel-efficient at 2000-2500 RPM (varies slightly depending on the engine). The engine torque is moderate, and noise is relatively low, making it ideal for normal driving.
