When you need to accelerate quickly, such as when overtaking or climbing a hill, downshifting is crucial. To change down gears, press the clutch pedal, move the gear lever to a lower gear, and then gradually release the clutch while simultaneously pressing the accelerator. This process helps the engine rev higher, giving your car the necessary power boost. Practicing this skill will enhance your control and confidence while driving a manual car.
