How to Decelerate a Manual Transmission Car?
1 Answers
The engine is the power system of a car, transmitting power to the transmission through the clutch, which then delivers the power to the drive wheels to move the car. The correct methods for decelerating and braking a manual transmission car are as follows: 1. When the speed is relatively low, generally within 30km/h, first press the brake, then press the clutch. This prevents the engine from stalling when braking at low speeds. At low speeds, since the wheels are not turning fast enough and the engine primarily provides power, the clutch is needed to separate the engine from the transmission when braking. This allows the engine to keep running even when the wheels stop turning. 2. When the speed is relatively high, i.e., above 30km/h, first press the brake to reduce the speed (to 20-30km/h), then simultaneously press the clutch to bring the car to a stop.
