Will the Engine Stall If You Brake Without Pressing the Clutch?
1 Answers
Braking without pressing the clutch will cause the engine to stall because the engine and wheels are still connected. If the wheels stop turning, the engine naturally cannot continue to rotate. However, pressing the clutch separates the engine from the wheels, preventing the engine from stalling. The clutch pedal is the control device for the manual transmission's clutch assembly and serves as the human-machine interaction point between the car and the driver. The brake is a mechanical braking device that slows down the vehicle, also known as a decelerator. The car's brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal activates the brake linkage, which applies pressure to the brake pads on the brake drum, clamping the brake rotor and causing the car to slow down or stop.
