Do You Need to Press the Clutch When Braking in Neutral?
1 Answers
Braking in neutral does not require pressing the clutch. Here are some considerations regarding braking and the clutch: 1. No Need to Press the Clutch: When the vehicle needs to slow down during normal driving, after releasing the accelerator, if the desired speed reduction hasn't been achieved, braking is used to adjust the speed. Generally, there's no need to press the clutch in this situation. However, as per standard practice, the left foot should rest on the clutch pedal, ready to press it if necessary. 2. Need to Press the Clutch: During driving, if frequent operation of the clutch is required, it can cause relative sliding between the clutch's driving and driven parts, generating frictional heat. If this heat is not dissipated in time, it can significantly affect the clutch's operational reliability and service life.
