Clutch Technique Questions for A New Driver

[r1chm0nd]

Hi guys, I'm just a new driver and I have read about the adverse effects of riding the clutch. Anyway, my question is this :

1. Is it ok to step on the clutch pedal while braking when decelarating?

2. Is it ok to step on the clutch pedal IF you're not stepping on the gas pedal?

TIA Veteran Drivers!!!

Di ako super veteran driver, but:

1. It's probably better to step on the clutch pedal when your RPM is nearing under 1000. Engine braking helps further slow your car down and puts less wear on the brakes.

2. Is this at a stop? If so, ok lang naman but if you're at a stop, might as well put the car in neutral.

I read somewhere that the clutch should either be depressed fully or not at all for maximum clutch longevity. Keeping the clutch pedal anywhere in between for more than a small amount of time (or "riding" the clutch) isn't such a good practice yata.

I'm just a new driver kasi kaya inaapakan ko ang clutch whenever I decelerate to make sure that the engine won't stall if the speed is too low.. hehe.. Is it still counted as "riding the clutch?"

If the clutch pedal is fully depressed, then I'd think hindi.

Try to make it a habit to only use the clutch pedal when you need to.

Di ka rin naman masasanay if you don't start now.

sabi use the clutch to change gears lang.. pag mag brake ka.. tapak lang sa preno.. pag mamatay na yung makina.. or mababa rpm.. clutch, gear to neutral..

At 1500 rpm below, can I step on the clutch pedal already when decelarating?

Thanks for all your inputs guys, I guess I have to change the way I drive to preserve my clutch system.

And don't step on the clutch for long if you're on high speed..

Sorry rephrase ko lang - before toll booth sa highways may sign na slow down. Example, speed ko on that area is 100-120. Ok lang ba na from 5th gear, then clutch, tapos neutral until full stop sa booth or much better kung from 5th gear, unti unti apak sa break until <10km, then tsaka magneutral?

sir i think its more ideal kung gamitin mo ung break mo to slow down na nakaengage pa ung gear mo. pag mejo malapit ka na magstop saka mo gamitin ang clutch then shift to neutral.

This is not only much safer, but saves on gas if you're driving a more modern vehicle.
