Should the Clutch Be Pressed After Starting?

[CassandraDella]

After starting, the clutch does not need to be pressed. Here is some additional information: 1. Do not press the clutch unnecessarily: During normal driving, the clutch in a car is in a tightly engaged state, and there should be no slipping. When driving, the clutch pedal should only be pressed when starting the car, shifting gears, or braking at low speeds. At all other times, avoid pressing the clutch or resting your foot on the clutch pedal. Keeping your foot on the clutch pedal for extended periods while driving can easily cause clutch slippage, clutch plate burning, and in severe cases, even lead to damage to the clutch pressure plate and flywheel surface, resulting in issues like the clutch pressure spring losing its temper. 2. Double-clutch shifting method: To ensure smooth gear shifting and reduce wear on the transmission shifting mechanism and clutch, it is best to use the double-clutch shifting method, which is a good way to save fuel and money while driving.
