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

[SanJeffrey]

Forgetting to depress the clutch and gear grinding does have an impact on the car. Not fully depressing the clutch can result in difficulty engaging gears and gear grinding. The more frequently this occurs, the more severe the gear wear becomes. Over time, this can lead to situations where gears cannot be engaged or stay engaged, causing them to easily slip out. Correct methods for using the clutch: 1. Proper posture for depressing the clutch: When pressing the clutch pedal, use 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. 2. Depress the clutch fully to avoid keeping it engaged for prolonged periods, ensuring complete separation to prevent wear. 3. Control the timing of clutch release: When driving, do not release the clutch too quickly or intentionally raise the engine RPM too high. 4. Only shift gears after the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
