using the clutch in stop-go traffic

[wewoy_romero]

hi guys -

just want to ask. what i do during stop-and-go traffic when i want the car to move just a few meters/feet is to bring the clutch to it's working level without applying gas. when i want to stop, i just press on the clutch and the break. is this a good or bad practice? should i use the usual way of applying a little gas to move? is this fuel-saving?

thanks.

actually, walang problema dun, as long as di mo ibababad. put it in neutral kung nakahinto ka na...

[Picard]

oo ok lang yung. basta din wag mong hayaang mag-engine knock.

Wala naman wear sa clutch when it is fully depressed. Wear occurs as you transition from fully depressed to fully engaged.

makisakay na din..


ok lang ba na before reaching the traffic, switch na to neutral ang kambyo? ganun kasi ang ginagawa ko, esp during stop light...ano kaya effect nun?

[Picard]

pag walang engine brake, cyempre more effort yung brakes..

Yun din ang ginagawa ko. Normal naman palit ko ng brakes. Naglast naman ang tranny ko. 169k na odo ko. Although, nagpalit ako ng gears ng 120k (2nd gear).

ako din ganyan, kapag malapit na neutral + feet off the gas and clutch then glide while gradual braking (yun sobrang hina) para sakto lang hinto sa traffic

manual po ako sir

*topic

ganun din gawa ko, pag malapit na stop neutral na them brake-brake-brake na lang

fine and good as long as gradual ang release ng clutch and

no excessive vibrations occur. remember mas mahal ang engine

repair compared to drops of fuel.

while braking, engaged ka pa rin sa huling gear mo

bago mo i-neutral.

Engine brake is the "force" that keeps your car from free wheeling dahil engaged ang transmission.

Kaya sa mga mall parking na matarik (e.g. Shangri la) may mga sign na "Stay on first gear" This important lalo na sa pababa, para hindi bubulusok sasakyan mo kahit di mo tapakana ng brake.

Note: Excessive engine braking (hard engine braking and/or prolonged engine braking) can damage your engine and transmission. Kaya dapat laging naka-alalay ang tunay na brakes.

ganun po ba? Ako kasi kapag pababa, neutral na then alalay sa brakes para di masyado mabilis.
