As long as the clutch reaches the half-engagement point, you can gently apply throttle and slowly release the clutch. There's no need to precisely reach a specific RPM, and you shouldn't stare at the dashboard—keep your eyes on the road. The key is to master the technique of slowly releasing the clutch while lightly applying throttle. Clutch pedal technique: Although the clutch pedal is relatively small, beginners might find it challenging to operate smoothly and steadily. Generally, there are two ways to press the clutch: the first is to keep the heel on the floor and press the pedal with the ball of the foot, while the second is to suspend the entire foot and press the pedal with the whole foot. The first method is generally considered more suitable, as it provides better stability and reduces fatigue. Clutch release process: You've probably seen cars shaking when beginners practice driving for the first time. This often happens when the instructor tells them to release the clutch, and they let it out too quickly, causing the car to jerk and stall. The key is not to rush—match the clutch release speed with the engine's power output to ensure smooth operation of the car.
