What is the method of shifting gears without depressing the clutch?
1 Answers
The method of shifting gears without depressing the clutch is: 1. For upshifting, the sequence is to release the throttle, disengage the gear, wait for the engine speed to drop, and then engage the higher gear; 2. For downshifting, the sequence is to release the throttle, disengage the gear, rev the throttle to increase the engine speed, and then engage the lower gear. The working principle of the clutch is: 1. When the inner race is fixed, the outer race rotates clockwise and the wedge does not lock, allowing the outer race to rotate freely; 2. When the outer race rotates counterclockwise, the wedge locks, preventing the outer race from rotating. The functions of the clutch include: 1. Gradually increasing the driving force of the car to ensure a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separating the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Preventing overload in the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration and shock from the engine, thereby extending the lifespan of the transmission gears.
