Will the car stall if I press the brake without pressing the clutch? Because the car clutch is not completely disengaged, causing the car to stall. If the brake is pressed to the limit without pressing the clutch, the power transmission of the car will encounter resistance from the locked wheels, and due to the reaction force, the car will definitely stall. Extended content: 1. Usually, when decelerating a manual transmission car, you should first press the brake and then the clutch to start slowing down. This is because only by pressing the clutch can the car engine be disengaged from the car's transmission, preventing the car from stalling after stopping. 2. For beginners, the main way to avoid stalling midway is to improve their driving skills through rapid adaptation, followed by using high-quality and qualified fuel.
I've been driving for almost twenty years, and with manual transmission vehicles, not pressing the clutch while braking will definitely cause the engine to stall when the speed drops to a certain point. The reason is simple: the engine and the wheels are still connected through the transmission system. When the wheel speed is braked to a very low level, the engine speed will also be dragged down, and if it falls below the idle speed, the engine can't keep running and stalls. I remember once at a traffic light, I forgot to press the clutch, and the car jerked and stalled just before coming to a complete stop, almost causing a rear-end collision with the car behind me. Now I've developed a habit of pressing the clutch as soon as the speed drops to around 15 km/h while braking. I've taught a few beginner friends, and I always emphasize this point: when slowing down, not only should you focus on braking to stop, but you must also press the clutch, especially on uphill or downhill roads, to avoid sudden stalling and potential issues.
