Should You Press the Clutch When Shifting Gears?
1 Answers
Manual transmission cars require pressing the clutch. Failing to press the clutch when shifting gears can easily damage the gears and harm the transmission. Additional information: 1. If the clutch is not pressed: The engine and the first shaft of the transmission cannot be completely separated, leading to intermittent engagement during transmission, which can cause abnormal noises during shifting and significantly affect the car. 2. Proper gear engagement: When shifting gears in a manual transmission car, it is also important to ensure that the gear is fully engaged. Some drivers shift gears carelessly, possibly lifting the clutch hastily before the gear is properly engaged, which can also damage the transmission. 3. Fully depress the clutch: (1) When shifting gears, the clutch must be fully depressed to ensure successful shifting before releasing it. (2) The gear must be properly engaged, and the driver should be familiar with the shifting method for each gear.
