What are the effects of gear grinding when the clutch is not fully depressed?
1 Answers
Gear grinding caused by not fully depressing the clutch when shifting gears will lead to increasingly severe gear wear, potentially damaging the transmission gears. Over time, this can result in difficulty engaging gears or gears slipping out of place, requiring the transmission to be disassembled and the affected gear replaced. Additional information: Precautions for shifting gears in manual transmission vehicles are as follows: 1. Avoid randomly pressing the brake and clutch: In emergency situations, people often press the clutch and brake randomly. The best practice is to press both the clutch and brake simultaneously, but when the vehicle is moving at high speed, it is better to first press the brake to slow the vehicle down before pressing the clutch. 2. Depressing the clutch: If the clutch is pressed first, the vehicle's power will be cut off, and the engine's performance will not continue. Due to inertia, the vehicle will keep moving forward, requiring the brake to handle the braking, which is not very effective.
