The Correct Way to Press the Clutch for Beginners?

[Caroline]

The correct way to press the clutch is to use the ball of your left foot with your heel as the pivot point. There are several methods for pressing the clutch while driving: 1. When starting the car. Quickly press the clutch all the way down, then rapidly release it to the half-engaged position. Simultaneously, lightly press the accelerator to increase the engine speed, then slowly and gently release the clutch, pausing slightly when reaching full engagement. 2. When shifting gears—downshifting. First reduce the car's speed until it reaches the appropriate speed for downshifting, then quickly press the clutch. Follow the principle of "one fast, two slow, three engagement" to control the clutch. 3. When shifting gears—upshifting. Increase the throttle to raise the engine speed, then quickly press the clutch and gently release it slowly. You can lightly press the accelerator while releasing the clutch. 4. When stopping the car. Press the clutch when the car's speed is below 15 KM/H, then use the brake to bring the car to a complete stop. After fully stopping, slowly release the clutch.
