Does Forgetting to Depress the Clutch and Gear Grinding Have Any Impact?

[McNolan]

Forgetting to depress the clutch and gear grinding does have an impact on the car. The more frequently the gears cannot engage properly or grinding occurs due to not fully depressing the clutch, the more severe the gear wear becomes. Over time, this can lead to difficulty in engaging gears or gears not staying engaged, causing them to easily slip out. Correct usage of the clutch: When depressing the clutch pedal, place the ball of your foot on the pedal with your heel touching the ground. When the clutch is fully depressed, keep your knee slightly bent. Avoid keeping the clutch engaged for extended periods to ensure complete separation and prevent wear. When driving, do not release the clutch too quickly or deliberately raise the engine speed too high, as this accelerates clutch wear. Always fully depress the clutch pedal before shifting gears.
