Why does the car stall when the clutch is released gently?
1 Answers
The car stalls when the clutch is released gently because the driver lifts the clutch pedal too quickly while driving. Here is more knowledge about the clutch: 1. Reasons for stalling when releasing the clutch: If the clutch is lifted too quickly, the two gears engage immediately. Since the car is stationary, it requires a large thrust force. The power output from the engine is insufficient to instantly accelerate the car to the speed required for first gear, causing the car to jerk suddenly and then stall. 2. How the clutch works: When starting the car, pressing the clutch pedal indicates readiness to use the gears to drive the wheels. Engaging first gear sends the slow-speed gear to the transmission. When releasing the clutch, the slow-speed gear moves toward the wheel's drive gear. Lifting quickly makes it engage fast, while lifting slowly makes it engage gradually, allowing the car to move smoothly.
