Should You Press the Accelerator After Fully Releasing the Clutch?

[LeReid]

No, you can press the accelerator while releasing the clutch. Below is an introduction to the related content: 1. Coordination Between Clutch and Accelerator: When starting a manual transmission car, you need to release the clutch and press the accelerator simultaneously. This is called the coordination between clutch and accelerator. 2. Adjustment: Proper coordination between clutch and accelerator requires adjustments based on the vehicle speed. During the starting phase, place the gear in neutral. After starting, press the clutch pedal all the way down, shift the gear lever into first gear, and slowly release the clutch while pressing the accelerator pedal to ensure a smooth start. 3. Note: When pressing the clutch pedal, make sure to press it all the way down. While slowly releasing the clutch pedal, feel the vehicle's vibration and movement tendency. Once the vehicle starts to vibrate slightly and shows signs of moving, gently press the accelerator and continue to slowly release the clutch pedal until it is fully released, ensuring a smooth start. 4. Gear Shifting: Coordination between clutch and accelerator is equally important when shifting gears while the vehicle is in motion.
