Will the Manual Transmission Stall When Depressing the Clutch?

[VonWalker]

After applying the brakes, if the speed drops too low, the engine will stall; however, if the clutch is depressed promptly, it will not stall. Introduction to Manual Transmission Cars: These vehicles use a manually shifted mechanical transmission (also known as manual transmission, MT) to regulate speed. This means the driver must manually move the gear lever to change the gear meshing positions inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The gear lever can only be moved when the clutch is depressed. Introduction to Automatic Transmission Cars: As the name suggests, these vehicles do not require the driver to manually shift gears. The car automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L.
