What is a Clutch Pedal?

[SanJohnny]

The clutch pedal is the control device for the clutch assembly in a manual transmission vehicle, serving as the interactive component between the car and the driver. During driving lessons or normal driving, it is one of the "five major control components" in vehicle operation, used very frequently. For convenience, it is commonly referred to simply as the "clutch." The correctness of its operation directly affects the vehicle's starting, gear shifting, and reversing. Below is additional information: 1. Brake Pedal: Commonly known as the brake, its primary function is to slow down or stop the vehicle during driving. Excessive speed while braking can cause the vehicle to skid, so remember to avoid driving too fast. 2. Accelerator Pedal: Often called the throttle, in simplest terms, it is a device that alters the engine's speed. Generally, pressing the accelerator pedal changes the throttle valve opening, thereby increasing the engine's air intake and raising its speed.
