Do You Need to Press Both the Clutch and Brake When Starting a Manual Transmission Car?
1 Answers
When starting a manual transmission car, if the handbrake is released, you need to press both the clutch pedal and the brake pedal; if the handbrake is not released, you don't need to press the brake pedal. It is recommended to start the engine before releasing the handbrake, so you won't need to press the brake pedal when starting the engine. When starting a manual transmission car, it is essential to press the clutch pedal. The clutch is part of the transmission system, installed between the engine and the gearbox. Its function is to disconnect or connect the engine to the gearbox. When the driver presses the clutch pedal, it disconnects the engine from the gearbox, and when the clutch pedal is released, it connects the engine to the gearbox.
