Should You Release the Clutch When Accelerating?

You do not need to press the clutch when accelerating. Below are some relevant tips for using the clutch: Clutch operation techniques: Use the heel of your left foot as a pivot and control the clutch pedal with the ball of your foot. When starting the car, first press the clutch pedal down, then find the semi-engaged state while gently applying some throttle with your right foot to increase the engine speed. Then gradually release the clutch, pausing slightly when reaching the semi-engaged state. When downshifting, first reduce the car's speed until it reaches the appropriate level for the lower gear, then press the clutch and follow the 'one fast, two slow, three linkage' principle to control the clutch.
