What is Half-Clutch Speed Control?
1 Answers
Half-clutch speed control refers to the technique of pressing the clutch pedal when deceleration is needed, allowing the vehicle to move forward by inertia. The method for half-clutch speed control is: 1. Apply the brakes; 2. After the speed decreases, press the clutch; 3. The clutch should be pressed after the brakes but before the brakes are fully engaged. Half-clutch is an unstable connection state of the clutch, where the driver gradually reduces the pressure on the clutch pedal, causing the driving plate and driven plate to slip while rotating. Symptoms of half-clutch operation include: 1. A noticeable resistance against the clutch pedal; 2. Slight vehicle vibration and engine noise; 3. A tendency for slight forward lurching and a drop in tachometer readings.
