What is the trick to never stalling when starting on a slope with a manual transmission?
1 Answers
When starting on a slope with a manual transmission, the most important trick to prevent the engine from stalling is the coordination between the clutch and the accelerator. The correct way to start on a slope: When starting, you need to engage the 1st gear, then slowly lift the clutch pedal with your left foot. Once you feel the clutch engaging, pause for a moment, then continue to slowly lift the clutch pedal with your left foot while gently pressing the accelerator pedal with your right foot. After the clutch is fully engaged, keep pressing the accelerator with your right foot, and you can shift up as the speed increases. Reasons why manual transmissions are prone to stalling when starting on a slope: Stalling during manual transmission starts is caused by lifting the clutch too quickly, so it's essential to practice clutch control.
