Can You Brake While in Half-Clutch?

[DiSabrina]

You can brake while in a half-clutch state. However, braking in this state may cause the engine to stall, so it's best to fully depress the clutch pedal when braking. The semi-engaged state of the clutch causes significant wear and tear on the vehicle. Therefore, it's generally advisable to avoid keeping the clutch in a semi-engaged state. The correct methods for shifting gears in a manual transmission car are as follows: 1. Always fully depress the clutch pedal before shifting, and operate the gear lever gently, smoothly, and accurately. 2. When shifting while driving, pay attention to choosing the right time to shift. Before upshifting, always accelerate first. When the vehicle's speed reaches the appropriate speed for the next higher gear, shift to the higher gear promptly. 3. When downshifting, as the speed decreases to a certain level, shift to a lower gear.
