Do You Need to Press the Clutch When Decelerating a Manual Transmission Car?

[SanAndrew]

When decelerating a manual transmission car, you do not need to press the clutch. The clutch consists of friction plates, spring plates, a pressure plate, and a power output shaft. Its functions are: 1. Ensuring smooth vehicle starting; 2. Achieving smooth gear shifting. Clutch maintenance and servicing items include: 1. Checking the fluid level in the clutch reservoir; 2. Inspecting the clutch hydraulic control mechanism for leaks; 3. Depressing the clutch pedal to check pedal responsiveness; 4. Checking the clutch pedal height; 5. Inspecting the clutch release point; 6. Checking the clutch operation condition; 7. Bleeding air from the clutch hydraulic system.
