Pleased you found the clip of interest and thank you for the informed comment. Now I think I hear your mummy coming down the steps to your basement living area to give you a weekly bed bath.
The clutch is made up of two plates that join together to join the engine to the gearbox, when you press the clutch down the plates separate so you can change gears smoothly, when you bring the clutch back up you join the plates back together, As the plates are about to join together is called the biting point.
This is actually terrible advice. Watch a circuit car racers foot placement while they’re heel toe downshifting. Even with such a deliberate task under pressure where every millisecond counts, their foot is placed a little further up on the pedal. My rule of thumb is if you can see the top of the pedal you’re down too low. You should not be engaging/disengaging the clutch with your big toe, it should be the pad of your foot
There is one channel "Worlddriving" which has almost 373k subs and he is a UK based instructor, now he teaches clutch control by pressing gently on the gas pedal and then finding the biting point. Has someone ever done this or used this technique because I feel this would burn the clutch more quickly. I don't know maybe I'm wrong
This was a very detailed explanation on clutch control. Adding my 2 cents here firstly u need to have that firm grip on the clutch with your toe while releasing it by raising your leg. Because sometimes u get a jerk from the release of the clutch and u can accidentally loose the grip on it and that will stall the car. Secondly once u have found the biting point it is advised to press the gas pedal gently, I know most new age cars can accelerate even on clutch on a flat surface; but for new drivers it would be quite beneficial to press the gas pedal just gently not too much. Once you get the hang of it then you can always accelerate your car on the clutch alone.
@@iangibson457 thanks for replying mate I learned driving back in 2018 good old days but never driven much. Now after buying my first car which is a bit used one I'm driving from some days . & found your video helpful and these socks comments were halarious 😂
If you push the clutch down when you’re still moving you disconnect the engine from the car (coasting) no power transfer from engine to car and no engine braking.
@@electricgaming9914 no that wouldn’t be smart, the engine also slows the car if you’re not adding gas (engine braking ) by holding the clutch down while going into a turn you would lose some braking control, if you’re not braking the car could pick up speed going into the turn, this is called coasting doing this on a driving test in the Uk could cause you to fail the test.
oh.. so I do have one problem with my manual clutch when I shift gears it feels like a dont accelerate anymore for a few seconds do I hold it while shifting up?
