Will the Car Stall If You Don't Press the Clutch in First Gear?
1 Answers
When starting a manual transmission car in first gear, you should slowly release the clutch instead of letting it go all at once. Only after the vehicle starts moving smoothly can you fully release the clutch; otherwise, the car may jerk or stall during startup. Whether starting in first gear or shifting gears at other low speeds, the principle of 'quickly pressing and slowly lifting the clutch' should always be followed. Gear Introduction: 1. First Gear: This is the starting gear, used to get the car moving. Its gear ratio is similar to that of the reverse gear, so it's not suitable for prolonged high-speed operation. Generally, you can shift to second gear once the car gains momentum. 2. Second Gear: This is the passing gear, mainly used for navigating complex road conditions and handling tricky situations, such as sharp-angle (right-angle) turns without special obstacles, crowded urban areas, steep slopes, and bumpy roads. 3. Third Gear: This is the transition gear, primarily used for low-speed driving in urban areas. Depending on the situation, you can easily accelerate to shift to fourth gear or decelerate to downshift to second gear.
