The biggest fun of driving a manual transmission car is to operate, there is no fixed program, everything must be reflexively operated according to the actual road conditions.
When driving a manual transmission car encounters a turn, first look at the road conditions, can you pass at your current speed, for example, your current speed is 40 kilometers per hour, no one or car is blocking the turn, you can pass at one time, at this time you only need to release the throttle, and then grasp the direction to pass, no other superfluous operations are required.
If your speed is more than 60 kilometers per hour, even if there is no one or the car is blocking at the corner, this speed is a bit fast, so you must slow down first, the operation of deceleration is to release the accelerator with the right foot, and then step on the brake, so that the speed is reduced to 40 kilometers per hour, no need to shift gears in the middle, and no need to step on the clutch, 40 60 kilometers and hours of speed can maintain 4 gears.
However, driving at 40 km/h on most curves is still a bit fast, especially when encountering complex road conditions, where people or cars pass by from time to time, and you need to constantly adjust your operation according to the actual road conditions.
If you need to change the speed of the car at any time according to different road conditions, you need to operate accordingly, there is no unified answer, for example: your current speed is 70 kilometers per hour, hang 5 gears, 200 meters ahead and need to turn, how should you operate?
First release the accelerator, then press the brake, when the speed drops to 55 km/h, the left foot presses the clutch to the end, and the right foot continues to press the brake, so that the speed of the car drops to 20 30 km/h.
Then there are 2 options:The first is to continue to step on the clutch to make the gear in a special neutral, and then cooperate with the brake to control the speed of the car through the corner, and then hang into the appropriate gear according to the speed of the car after passing the corner
The method of stepping on the clutch neutral coasting is equivalent to neutral coasting, although there is no shift in the whole process, but the clutch is a special neutral gear, the advantage is that it is convenient to hang the gear, and you can hang the corresponding gear at any time according to the speed, and then drive normally.
Another option is to put the gear into 3rd gear first, then release the clutch with your left foot, and apply the brakes with or without your right foot depending on the situation, or put your right foot above the brake pedal and drive normally after passing the cornerYou can also put your right foot on the accelerator and keep it on the road.
This method is equivalent to coasting with gear, the advantage is that the speed can be adjusted faster or slower at any time, unlike neutral coasting, the speed will only get slower and slower, not faster and faster, and when it is possible to speed up, it will be operated separately.
Direct neutral coasting means that when passing through the corner, you can step on the clutch, you can not step on the clutch, both ways can be, the clutch is to keep the speed in neutral, the car does not produce power when neutral, relying on inertia to slide forward, the car will not produce forward acceleration.
But it is absolutely not possible to half-clutch, or step on a part of the clutch, which will seriously damage the clutch, and when stepping on or lifting the clutch, the time should be short, and the action should be fast, because the speed of the car is relatively fast.
Some people say that this will wear out the clutch, but in fact it will not, because you press the clutch all the way down, cutting off the power output from the engine, and the clutch is idling and there is no load, so there is no wear.
According to different road conditions, there is a way to choose the operation after the corner, that is, neutral sliding, the operation method is: no matter what the current speed is, first step on the brake to slow down, and then step on the clutch and brake together, the clutch is stepped on to the end, the brake is controlled according to the speed of the step, and then the gear position is in neutral mode, the left foot completely releases the clutch, and the left foot uses the brake to control the speed.
This is the standard neutral coasting, there is no need to step on the accelerator or clutch during the whole process, provided that you control your speed, the speed of the car should not be too fast, otherwise the corner will be dangerous, and at the same time, pay attention to pedestrians and other vehicles during the whole process of passing through the corner.
So how is the best operation of a manual transmission car when turning?
There is no set answer to turning at urban intersections, and there are generally three principles:Pressing the clutch to coast in neutral, coasting in gear or keeping the low gear normal driving, coasting in neutral
Many times when turning, the vehicle may be stop-and-go, then different operations are needed to correspond, two neutral sliding do not need to worry about the speed and gear mismatch, direct braking will not turn off, and then start to drive normally.
And with the gear coasting and normal driving state, you need to consider the matching of speed and gear, so that the speed is very low and is about to stop, and there is still 3 gear, at this time you still need to step on the clutch, let the vehicle in neutral, and then convenient parking.
