- The beauty of manual transmission is not understood by everyone
- Even though the number of manual transmission models available for sale in China is decreasing
- Taking the common 5-speed + reverse as an example
- The beauty of manual transmission
- The sense of control at your fingertips
- The fusion of man and machine
- The exhilarating feeling of instant acceleration
- The superiority of downshifting for overtaking
- The sense of security in downshifting for deceleration
- People who usually complain about the inconvenience of manual transmission may be
- Lacking the sense of mechanics and control desire
- Lacking the desire for overtaking
- Afraid to step on the accelerator and complain that the car doesn't respond
- Not knowing how to downshift and rev-match
- Having experienced jerky movements when driving manual transmission before
- Too busy to free up their right hand
- Looking down on those who are unfamiliar with manual transmission
- The soul of manual transmission
- The engine speed needs to match the gear, not the vehicle speed
- You need to feel it or listen to it with your ears, not look at the vehicle speed
- Try to maintain a relatively high engine speed, such as not lower than 2000 rpm
- Look at the redline on the tachometer, that's the fuel cutoff range
- During normal driving, try to keep the engine speed in the middle range of the entire range
- Anyone who complains that the car doesn't respond quickly or lacks power is due to low engine speed
- Quick start
- First lightly step on the accelerator to reach 1000 rpm
- At the same time, step on the clutch and shift into first gear
- Quickly release the clutch to the biting point and pause for about a second before quickly releasing it completely
- Then quickly press down on the accelerator almost to the floor and enjoy the roar
- Because of the electronic throttle delay, there's no need to wait for the engine speed to reach the redline
- Release the accelerator, quickly step on the clutch to shift into second gear, and quickly release the clutch
- At the same time, maintain the pressed accelerator
- The same principle applies to shifting to higher gears
- Additional: Launch control
- First step on the accelerator to above 3000 rpm
- At the same time, step on the clutch and quickly release it
- Enjoy the high-revving tire-burning launch rate
- Rev-matching downshift
- The scenario is when you want to overtake or decelerate quickly
- The principle is to downshift to increase the engine speed for acceleration or engine braking
- The key is to rev-match before releasing the clutch to increase the engine speed
- Pay attention to quickly release the clutch after rev-matching, and don't skimp on rev-matching
- Several optional rev-matching downshift operations
-
- Step on the clutch, shift into neutral, release the clutch, step on the accelerator, step on the clutch, shift into a lower gear, quickly release the clutch, step on the accelerator
-
- Step on the clutch and accelerator, shift into neutral, shift into a lower gear, quickly release the clutch, step on the accelerator
-
- Step on the accelerator and then release it, step on the clutch, shift into neutral, shift into a lower gear, quickly release the clutch, step on the accelerator
-
- Heel-toe braking, step on the clutch, shift into neutral, shift into a lower gear, heel-toe on the accelerator
-
- Step on the accelerator without releasing it, step on the clutch, shift into neutral, shift into a lower gear, quickly release the clutch, step on the accelerator
