How to squeeze the clutch

How to squeeze the clutch

If the car is a mechanical box, then the driver should know well how to use the clutch pedal correctly. What is this mechanism for and what function does it perform? Even the very name “clutch” speaks for itself. With this pedal, rotation of the wheels decreases, and the engine works in the same mode. To be even more precise: there is a spring between the two disks, it closes them to weaken this spring, it is necessary to squeeze the clutch.

1
In order for the car to move, you need to click and set the first speed. The clutch pedal is on the left, then the brake and the third is gas. It is difficult to press the clutch: it goes very tight, a matter of habit, over time you do not notice it. You need to train on a flat road so that there are no passers -by or vehicles nearby, and the wheels of the car are straight.

For training, insert the key into the ignition lock, the car should be on the handbrake. We start the car, squeeze the clutch, remove the handbrake, turn on the third speed and do not press the gas, but just try to feel the car and listen to the speed. It is excellent if there is a tachometer (a speed sensor), for example, we wanted to catch 2000 revolutions, it was displayed on a tachometer, let us go smoothly, the car will not go, but will stall. For a beginner, it is necessary. The future driver must feel how and when to release the clutch. Not sharply, but smoothly and not long. Repeat several times for dexterity.

Then give both yourself and the car to rest for 10 minutes. Otherwise, you can burn the clutch. If you have not learned the lesson, then we repeat, and if it turns out, then you can learn to move. To do this, start a car, squeeze the clutch, remove from the handbrake and turn on the first speed. We put the right leg on gas. We smoothly release the clutch and press a little on the gas pedal. If everything is true, the car will not twitch and stall.

In order to smoothly release the clutch and do not burn much with another foot on the gas, you will have to learn, this is not so difficult. But when it succeeds once, you will understand how to correctly drive a car so that the engine is not stalled or growled (due to strong pressure on the gas pedal, with a clutch released not until the end). For a car, this can end in a breakdown, it is undesirable to train for a long time. Better - on a special simulator. There are such simulators in any driving school.

When you manage to move off and you already feel how to squeeze the clutch correctly, you need to work out an emergency braking. To do this, we do not run the car, but only work out skills. We hold the right leg on the gas pedal, and the left - near the clutch. At the command of the instructor, we sharply press the clutch, and the right is the brake. This technique must be developed before automatism, repeated many times. In the future, it will help to avoid accidents or clashes.

It is necessary to be able to use the clutch correctly and when moving the car back. This technique also needs to be worked out. When the driver rides backwards, then all the attention is concentrated whether there is no prevention from behind, and the left leg should automatically know the location of the clutch pedal. In order to start movement in reverse: click the clutch until it stops, turn on the back speed, see if there are no interference. The right leg is on the gas, and the left one is smoothly released, the car rides backwards. It must be borne in mind that you need to burn it weaker than when moving forward, because the back transmission is stronger than the first speed.

With a great desire, you can learn to squeeze the clutch, the main thing is to calmly fulfill all the instructions and not worry, if everything cannot work right away.

Gas in the back gear?!? Of course, I only sat 2 times at the wheel, but for me and on an unexpressed clutch, the car is already going decently, and if you still add a gasket, then hello neighbor is behind)))
