Should You Press the Clutch When Starting the Car?
1 Answers
You should press the clutch when starting the car, as this reduces the load on the engine and helps prolong its service life. If you don't press the clutch while starting, it increases the load on the starter motor, causing the battery to output a higher current, which affects the engine's ignition performance. Over time, this can cause certain damage to the vehicle. The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, with the clutch assembly secured to the rear plane of the flywheel using screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission.
