What are the consequences of forgetting to press the clutch when shifting into reverse gear with a loud noise?

Shifting gears in a car without pressing the clutch, which means engaging the gear without disengaging the engine power, primarily damages the gear teeth of the engaged gear pair. An occasional collision sound of the gear teeth will not cause significant damage. Here are some driving tips: Always pass over speed bumps with both wheels: If the vehicle passes over a speed bump with only one side for a long time, it can easily cause misalignment or deformation of the vehicle's suspension. Tilting the front of the car to one side when passing over a speed bump may reduce the feeling of bumps, but it also causes uneven force distribution on the left and right sides of the vehicle's suspension system, leading to damage in the shock absorption. Passing over speed bumps with both wheels, although causing varying degrees of vibration, ensures the most even force distribution on the vehicle, minimizing damage. Clean the taillights promptly and check if the vehicle lights are functioning properly: When driving on the road, the safety factor of the lights cannot be ignored. Clear and accurate signals provide all drivers and pedestrians with a basis for judgment. However, many drivers, especially beginners, often overlook this. Many people ignore dirty or broken taillights and turn signals, leading to rear-end collisions. If the taillights malfunction, they must be repaired as soon as possible before driving to avoid accidents.
