Do you need to press the clutch for both upshifting and downshifting?
1 Answers
For manual transmission vehicles, you need to press the clutch for both upshifting and downshifting. Here is an introduction to the clutch-related content: 1. Clutch: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Function: The clutch allows gradual engagement between the engine and the transmission, ensuring smooth vehicle starting. It temporarily disconnects the connection between the engine and the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce impact during shifting. It also acts as a separator during emergency braking, preventing overload in the transmission and other drivetrain systems, thereby providing a certain protective effect.
