Should the clutch be partially engaged or fully released when reversing?
1 Answers
Reversing requires partial clutch engagement. Here are the relevant details: Introduction: Both reversing and starting can be done with partial clutch engagement. If the clutch is fully released when reversing, the vehicle speed can reach 20km/h, which often leads to frantic and uncontrollable driving. Additional Information: Partial clutch engagement accelerates wear on the clutch plates. It's better to use the braking method as replacing brake pads is cheaper than clutch plates. When the steering wheel is turned to full lock, the tire grip and forward traction decrease, making it difficult for the vehicle to start. This difference is particularly noticeable in small-displacement vehicles or those with limited traction.
