Will the Car Stall When Braking from 4th Gear to 20 mph?
1 Answers
Generally, it won't stall, but if you keep the clutch partially engaged while braking to a stop, the car may stall. In any gear (except neutral), if the car comes to a complete stop without pressing the clutch, it will stall. Here is some relevant information: When the gear is in 1st to 5th: If the clutch is not pressed and the speed starts to decrease, the car will stall when the speed drops to a certain point. Additionally, water in the exhaust pipe, engine failure, or running out of fuel can also cause stalling. If the gear is still engaged: Stalling due to not pressing the clutch can damage the car. Forcing the gear shift without fully pressing the clutch can also lead to stalling and may cause the gear teeth to break. Broken gear teeth can result in frequent gear disengagement in the future.
