Can the Clutch Be Fully Released?

It can be released. Below are the relevant details: 1. When starting, if you don't press the accelerator and only release the clutch to start, the car will start very slowly. The engine's idle torque is low, and such low RPM is not conducive to the car's acceleration. Therefore, the best advice is to practice coordinating the clutch and accelerator properly—press the accelerator while releasing the clutch. 2. When decelerating, you should first press the brake until the engine RPM is relatively low before disengaging the clutch. 3. When downshifting, although the clutch can be released all at once, it can damage the transmission. This is because the engine RPM will suddenly increase during downshifting. If the clutch is released too quickly, the engine RPM will change drastically, resulting in a significant impact. Therefore, when downshifting, it's best to release the clutch slowly, allowing the engine RPM to gradually rise to a higher level.
