Do You Need to Press the Clutch When the Car is in Neutral?
1 Answers
You do not need to press the clutch when the car is in neutral. Below are some related introductions about the clutch: 1. Improper operation by the driver: Half-clutching causes continuous friction between the clutch disc, pressure plate, and flywheel, generating high temperatures that lead to clutch disc burn. 2. Clutch usage duration: Excessive mileage results in natural aging and wear of the clutch disc. 3. Overloading: Overloading causes abnormal wear of the clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel, and other components, leading to clutch disc burn. 4. Excessive gap: A small free travel of the clutch pedal or a large gap between the release bearing and the release lever or diaphragm can cause issues. 5. Oil contamination: The clutch disc slipping due to oil contamination.
