Should You Press the Clutch When Braking to Slow Down in a Manual Transmission Car?
1 Answers
Whether to press the clutch when braking to slow down in a manual transmission car depends on different situations: 1. Press both when the speed decreases or for short-distance braking; 2. Do not press when at higher speeds or for long-distance braking. The functions of the clutch include: 1. Gradually increasing the driving force of the car for a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separating the engine and the gearbox for gear shifting; 3. Preventing overload of the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration impact from the engine, extending the lifespan of transmission gears. Braking serves to reduce speed, and its usage precautions include: 1. Brake gently when following another car; 2. Use emergency braking cautiously in rainy conditions; 3. Avoid emergency braking on slopes and curves.
