The key to driving a manual car is to shift gears, the focus is to change gears in time according to the speed of the car, and to be fast and accurate, so that you can drive more freely. Here are the techniques for manually shifting gears.
1. Timely shift gear according to the speed of the car
Under normal circumstances, the start hangs one gear, and when driving for a few meters, then change to the second gear; When the speed reaches 20 miles or more, 35 steps to change the third gear; The speed reaches more than 35 miles, and the 45 steps change to four gears; The speed reached 45 miles or more to change the fifth gear. The above is an ordinary five-speed variable speed car, for cars above 6 gears, every speed increase of about 15 miles can add a gear. In addition, when changing gears, we should be optimistic about the speed of the engine, and it is best to change gears in time when it is about 2500 rpm.
2. Master the correct shift hand type
Many drivers often ignore the hand shape of the gear shift, and sometimes use two or three fingers to flick the gear, which is very irregular and unsafe. The correct shift hand is to cover the head of the gear target with the palm down, hold the gear target tightly with five fingers, and then shift gears.
3, the gear shift should be changed into place
Sometimes we will change gears very casually when driving for a long time, and lift the clutch without the gear is accurate, which is very damaging to the transmission. Therefore, you must change into place when changing gears, and you must step on the clutch to the end when changing gears.
4. Familiar with the special inverted hanging method
Different vehicles have different ways to hang reverse gear, and some vehicles push straight to the right and then pull down to hang gear; Some vehicles reverse gear in the 1st gear position is still on the left; Other vehicles need to press the gear target and then move left forward or push backward to the right to hook up. These are all things that car owners need to know.
