Manual gearboxes - 3 Tips for perfect understanding of clutch control -

Good control of the clutch begins, as with most things, with a clear understanding of the purpose for which it was designed. Once this is established an individual can then assess whether specific technical work and adapt them if necessary

The clutch exists for a reason. it has a purpose, which is to provide a means of controlling the transfer of engine power to the transmission and therefore to the wheels. That's all; if we can understand that mere then correctly use the clutch concept becomes much more accessible.

Driving is a dynamic activity that there is no "one size in treatment situations that we often encounter. There are times when the immediate transfer of full engine power is unnecessary and often dangerous, and there are situations where careful and regular transfer the engine power is simply unnecessary.

The clutch is used to vary the power supply in a way that is adaptable to any situation, we need to process. A very rough guideline is that the faster the power must be transferred more power is needed to deal with the transfer, and of course the flip side is that if it is necessary to transfer the power slowly and carefully and not much power will be necessary

There are a number of exercises that will clarify this understanding and improving the clutch control. Here, we examine three of them.

  • Practise move out without using gas. Of course, the gas will be used because the engine is running, but in most situations, most of the power of cars that is provided when the engine is idling is enough to get the car moving. Try it very slowly, listening to the engine and try to choose from when it starts to fight, try to "coax" along.

  • Once you can move out without additional gas, step a little and try in second gear. Train to help the engine down, if it needs a little gas then give it a little, but at all times to use as little gas as possible. Then try it in third gear.

  • Finally, take your car to a hill and park halfway up it. Be very careful when you try this exercise; in fact, do not even try without having someone with you to watch out for cars coming from behind. Select first gear and drop the hand brake to allow the car to start rolling on the hill, and then use the clutch to transfer engine power to the gearbox and moving forward first. Add gas if necessary but again what you really need, get the car moving forward, then give into the Rock Steady on the slope. Repeat until you feel confident.

Once you can do these exercises without much trouble the clutch should not be much of a problem anymore, but do not be afraid to drop, we all do occasionally, it is the equivalent of driving spilling your coffee or stubbing your toe, it just means that our concentration slipped a little.

do not take my word for it, do a little more research, see what others say about it, then go out and practice, it is a simple mechanical process and is complicated by the lack of understanding.
