What happens if you press the throttle and clutch at the same time?
1 Answers
If you press both the throttle pedal and the clutch pedal simultaneously, the connection between the engine and the transmission will be disconnected. At this time, the engine has no load, and the engine speed will increase rapidly, which can cause some damage to the engine. The correct operation methods are as follows: 1. Starting: Press the clutch with your left foot, step on the brake with your right foot, engage first gear, release the handbrake, then slowly lift the clutch with your left foot. When the car starts to shake slightly, move your right foot to the throttle pedal and gently apply some gas while continuing to release the clutch. The car will start smoothly, then fully release the clutch with your left foot and prepare to shift gears by pressing the throttle. 2. Upshifting: Release the throttle pedal, quickly press the clutch pedal with your left foot, shift the gear lever to the corresponding gear, release the clutch pedal, and while releasing the clutch, slowly press the throttle with your right foot. 3. Downshifting: First, lightly press the brake to slow down, gently tap the throttle with your right foot, lift your right foot, quickly press the clutch pedal, shift the gear lever to the corresponding gear, release the clutch pedal, and while releasing the clutch pedal, slowly press the throttle with your right foot.
