Have you ever wondered what is happening inside a car when you press the clutch pedal? Or why do you need to press the clutch pedal before you shift gears in a manual transmission car? This video gives you logical answers to these questions. At the end of the video, we will also understand the crucial role played by the clutch in an uphill start.
Manual transmission? What's a manual transmission?
ReplyDeleteIs a manual transmission another name for a clutch?
DeleteI think it's one of those he/she thingies that either tuck or not.
DeleteNow soak it in motor oil and add 10,000 rpms and you get an atv or motorcycle system. Virtually eliminates the wear from the uphill start. And performance to boot. 😁
ReplyDeleteWith the exception of starting off in 1st (and this is debatable) or reverse, there is no need to engage the clutch.
ReplyDeleteMy 09 Dodge 3500 with a 6 speed would beg to differ. I've driven semis so I know how to shift without clutching, but that 6 speed just doesn't work that way though I sure wish it would.
DeleteI figured out how a clutch worked by taking the transmission out of the truck I had when I was a teenager and replacing the clutch it myself. No YouTube. No Dad. No help. Shitty tools. Got it done anyway. The story of my life. Learn on the fly.
ReplyDeleteI did my first one using a Chilton's.
DeleteGreat advise for young folk. However when working on the Whoa system. Please seek advise and proper replacement parts . Other wise you could end up rearranging five walls ,a conference table and damaging their new VCR in a life insurance building. Would not recommend...
DeleteBS, I was driving in Portland at rush hour and traffic is WAY down from 5 years ago.!
ReplyDeleteI watched "Clutch Cargo" when I was a kid....drove trucks for 15 years with a two-speed rear axle, for fun !
ReplyDeleteWorking a clutch is like finding the G-Spot, you either get it or don't.
ReplyDeleteMy first was in a T-10 behind a 390. I had friends with experience so it went pretty smoothly. I’ve only had two cars in my life with automatic transmissions. I’m not sure what I have now with the hybrid, I think it only has forward and reverse. There’s no shifting as far as I can tell. That’s a hell of a thing to say when you think about it. Eod1sg Ret
ReplyDeleteHow to keep your Volkswagen alive: or Poor Richard's Rabbit book, being a manual of step by step procedures for the complet idiot
ReplyDeleteWith that book I went from not knowing how to check the oil to an engine rebuild when a valve stem broke and the valve dropped into the cylinder
