Correctly shifting from fourth to second gear?

For example, if I want to turn, I want to shift from fourth to second gear. I'm driving at around 50 km/h and then I want to turn, so I need to get up to about 20-30 km/h. But I often find myself either turning too quickly, or the car jerks because, especially as a beginner, it's too fast for me to release the clutch and brake at the same time and brake. Do you have any tips on how I can shift from fourth to second gear more slowly and smoothly when turning?

Push the clutch, brake when you are in the second at about 30, continue to brake until you are at your desired speed and simply drive.

It would be more elegant to rev-matchen but this is probably too overwhelming for you.

If you push through the clutch, the speed drops down to adjust the speed again to the speed, you can give a short gas impulse, so that you are again at 2,000 revolutions and you can uncouple it.

At the time it was necessary to do this, today no longer because cars have synchronizing rings, it is more elegant. But as I said, something too demanding right now. In addition, the Heel and Toe technique would be.

There you brake with your toe and give the gas thrust from the Rev-Matchen with your chop, then you can brake and simultaneously switch smoothly.

In practice, however, this can hardly be anyone on the German roads, is rather a thing in racing to be able to shut down even at high speeds.

Because if you decelerate from the 6th gear with 200 and just shut down without giving gas, the wheels can block on the drive axle and you’re turning.

But again: advanced technology you don’t need, just wanted to explain briefly. :

You have to find out yourself. Tricks don’t exist. Come on, though, if you try it long enough.

If you insert the second gear and there is a jerk when coupling in then you should give during the light gas. So the engine has the speed that it gets forced after coupling.

In addition, you can also brake before bending, which will be slower behind you. That’s normal. And often also necessary to go slowly into a road where you can’t look far in. If you have to go through the traffic when you turn left, it’s not different.

In the area of the intersection, pedestrians have priority if they cross the road on your turn.

You can bend easily in the 3rd gear. I’ve never had a car with you in the 3rd. Gang with 20 to 30 km/h could have driven and accelerated again.

I’m just going down to the second gear when the speed goes much deeper. The second gear stays in it, if I don’t have to stop. Only when starting from the stand you need the first gear.

Hello

There would also be the third gang to remember.

Before braking, going down to the third and slowly, you have to stop anyway, then the first gear is to be reused.

At 50, I would first switch to the third and if necessary in the second. The third gear can be used in my car for everything from 20kmh to 60kmh e.g. to speed up on the driveway.

Hey?

Too slow? What do you care about? Front is dangerous as most accidents happen.

Get off the gas, switch it in time, so will it.

Tips won’t help you. The best is to drive a lot. With time and exercise, it will be. At some point, you feel how hard you have to slow down, how fast you have to get the clutch and when you let go at the Kupplunh, give some gas.
