How to Use the Clutch Correctly?

[SanNora]

The correct method of using the clutch is as follows: 1. First, maintain the correct posture. The left foot should step on the clutch pedal with the heel touching the floorboard and not suspended. Adjust the seat position so that when the clutch is fully depressed, the leg still has a slight bend. This helps prevent the clutch from not being fully depressed or remaining in a semi-engaged state for extended periods. 2. During driving, the clutch is closely connected to the engine and should not slip. 3. Except for starting the car, shifting gears, and low-speed braking, there is no need to depress the clutch pedal at other times. Some drivers may have the bad habit of resting their foot on the clutch pedal while driving. Prolonged placement of the foot on the clutch pedal can lead to clutch slippage, burning of the clutch disc, and in severe cases, damage to the clutch pressure plate and flywheel surface, resulting in clutch slippage and other malfunctions.
