Turning off the transmission
Release the gas and, when driving slowly or when the vehicle is braking slightly, push the gear shift lever toward neutral.
Moving off
Turn off the engine, engage first gear and engage the starter. The car will jerk and start moving. A cold engine must first warm up. If you don't have to change gears while driving, then on a flat road you can start driving in second gear.
Shifting into higher gears
Start driving in first gear using the starter. In first gear, accelerate the engine slightly above idle speed. Release the gas pedal slightly, pull the gear shift lever to neutral. Release the gas pedal and gently press the gear shift lever towards second gear. When the engine and gearbox speeds match, the gear will engage quite easily. If the procedure is delayed, you need to give a little gas so that the transmission engages without the gears "crunching". If this does not work, try again. The other higher gears are shifted in a similar manner. This is easiest to achieve at low speeds: second gear at 20 km/h; third - at 25 km/h; fourth - at 35 km/h; fifth - 50 km/h.
Downshifting
In this case, it is necessary to increase the engine speed so that the desired gear can be engaged. Take your foot off the gas, shift into gear, gently press the gas and push the gear shift lever in the direction of the desired gear. At the required number of revolutions, the gear will engage almost effortlessly. Switching to downshifts works best at low engine speeds and revs.
