The hazard of pressing the clutch to the floor and accelerating is that it reduces the service life of the release bearing. When the clutch is pressed, the clutch disc separates, disconnecting the power connection between the engine and the transmission. While this does not affect the clutch disc or the transmission, the clutch separation is achieved by the hydraulic pressure of the release bearing pushing against it. If you accelerate at this point, the engine speed will increase, causing the release bearing to rotate rapidly as well, which accelerates its wear. Proper coordination between the clutch and the accelerator ensures smooth power transmission from the engine, facilitates a steady start, saves fuel, and extends the clutch's lifespan. Poor coordination between the clutch and the accelerator often results in stalling or body shaking during startup. Additionally, releasing the clutch pedal too quickly when shifting gears can cause jerking, which not only damages the vehicle but also makes the driving experience very uncomfortable.
