Is Semi-Clutch Start Unnecessary on Flat Roads?
1 Answers
Not using the semi-clutch state will definitely cause stalling due to sudden power surge. Here are the consequences of fully releasing the clutch pedal immediately: Immediate stall: If the engine RPM is insufficient with inadequate torque, the engine will stall instantly. Accident risk: If both engine RPM and torque are sufficiently high, the vehicle will lurch forward abruptly, causing impact on transmission gears and high accident probability. Starting technique: Keep semi-clutch duration brief to prolong clutch plate lifespan. Specifically for flat-road starts: depress clutch - engage gear - release handbrake - slowly lift clutch to semi-clutch state while gently applying throttle - when reaching proper 1st-gear coasting speed, fully release clutch immediately.
