What Causes a Manual Transmission Car to Stall While Reversing?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons why a manual transmission car stalls while reversing: 1. Stalling during start-up: This occurs when the clutch pedal is released too quickly without pausing at the "half-engaged" position, combined with insufficient throttle input, or when the driver misses the proper "pause" position. 2. Keeping the left foot on the clutch pedal after starting: This happens because beginners misunderstand the function of the clutch pedal. Many novices believe that keeping the left foot pressed on the clutch pedal will prevent the car from stalling. However, this is a misconception that only increases clutch wear and reflects immature driving skills.
