Will the car move if the clutch is released in neutral gear?
1 Answers
Releasing the clutch in neutral gear will not cause the car to move, but if you are parked on a slope, it might roll. Conditions for the car to move: The car will only move when the corresponding gear is engaged and the clutch is released. When the gear is engaged, lightly lifting the clutch transfers the engine's power output to the transmission and drive wheels, causing the vehicle to move. Precautions: When shifting gears while driving, avoid skipping gears unless under special circumstances. When shifting gears uphill, the technique must be proficient, and the actions should be coordinated to prevent the vehicle from stalling or gear collisions, or even failing to engage the gear. Slightly slower shifting actions can reduce speed or even cause the car to stop. In special cases, skipping gears is allowed (e.g., shifting from fifth to third gear, or fourth to second gear). When shifting gears downhill: Shifting from a lower gear to a higher gear is the same as shifting on flat ground, but the action must be quick. The neutral gear should be passed through swiftly without lingering. Otherwise, due to the downhill assist effect, the speed difference between the transmission's driving and driven gears increases sharply, making it difficult to engage the gear.
