How to Drive a Manual Transmission Car in Traffic Jams?
1 Answers
When driving a manual transmission car in traffic jams, you can only use the semi-clutch technique. Semi-clutch refers to the operation where the driver does not press the accelerator pedal while in first gear at idle speed, and controls the vehicle speed by adjusting the depth of the clutch pedal with the left foot. This technique is commonly used during vehicle startup and driving in congested areas. Automatic transmission cars do not have a clutch, so there is no semi-clutch operation; you simply need to place the gear lever in D (Drive) or shift to a low gear. A manual transmission is a gear-shifting device used to alter the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the drive wheels. It provides different traction and speed under various driving conditions such as starting from a standstill, climbing hills, turning corners, and accelerating, while also keeping the engine operating within a more favorable range.
