How to Properly Use the Clutch When Going Downhill in Subject 3?
1 Answers
Do not press the clutch when going downhill. If you fully depress the clutch while descending, it is equivalent to coasting in neutral. Due to gravity and inertia, the car's speed will increase. If there is an issue with the vehicle's braking system, the consequences could be severe. There is no truth to the claim that coasting in neutral downhill saves fuel. Pressing the clutch while going downhill can easily cause excessive wear on the clutch. Keeping the clutch pressed will make the release bearing rotate at high speeds continuously, reducing the bearing's lifespan.
