How to Prevent Stalling When Starting on a Steep Slope with a Manual Transmission?

[Gavin]

Methods to prevent stalling when starting on a steep slope with a manual transmission: First, firmly engage the handbrake to prevent the car from rolling backward. Then, press the clutch pedal and shift into first gear. Slowly release the clutch pedal until the car body starts to vibrate, indicating that the clutch has reached the engagement point. At this moment, gradually press the accelerator pedal with your right foot while slowly releasing the clutch pedal with your left foot. When starting, the speed difference between the engine flywheel and the clutch disc is significant. If the clutch pedal is released too quickly at this point, the car will stall. Using the half-clutch technique during startup helps to gradually reduce the speed difference between the engine flywheel and the clutch disc, ensuring a smooth start.
