Should the heel move when correctly depressing the clutch?
1 Answers
Yes. Here are the relevant details: 1. Clutch operation method: Place the ball of your foot on the clutch pedal and press it all the way down. Keep it depressed and find the most comfortable position for the ball of your foot. Lift your leg while keeping the heel suspended, then slowly release the clutch. Note that you don't need heel support at this stage - keep the heel suspended to let your leg follow the clutch's spring force freely. When you feel the engine start to vibrate, stop releasing the clutch with the ball of your foot and quickly lower your heel. Remember this heel support position as it's precise and effective. 2. Introduction to the clutch: The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and transmission, with the clutch assembly fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel by screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. While driving, the driver can depress or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby interrupting or transmitting power from the engine to the transmission. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission systems, allowing the drivetrain to be disconnected or connected as required.
