Holding the biting point without the car moving is one of the fastest ways to burn out your clutch because it is constantly slipping and generating heat and the more heat the quicker the clutch wears
@XenbloodАй бұрын
ur only holding the clutch for a second before u move...U just feel the bite then take ur foot off the break straight onto accelerator to move soooo, realistically if ur driving a manual car and want to move uve got to get the bite regardless, using the clutch isnt burning it.

I've got a Ford Fiesta and it will move off on just the clutch, but if you come off the clutch and then go on the gas it's jerky it's really hard to get the balance and get the car moving smoothly. I stalled mine a couple of weeks ago in reverse, I just put the handbrake on when I was in my space and let the clutch out, it went with a right bang senior moment!
@Romeo999f2 ай бұрын
My car is petrol and also 1.0 engine, but I pull away without gas. There is no need to use acceleration. If your clutch control is very good, you can pull away without hitting gas also. You won't stall.

I’ve actually found what shoes you wear make the difference, usually drive in these worn down shoes, thin sole, can really feel the pedals precisely. Got new shoes and I could barely feel what pressure I was putting on the pedals 😂! My driving instructor before I passed said don’t wear certain shoes etc I thought na that’s bollocks, but found out it’s not 😂

I am struggling with hill starts so much. I seem to manage okay in my own car when I practice outside of lessons but I just cannot seem to get it right in my instructors car. I use the same method (handbrake) in both cars, they are both petrol cars. In my lessons I either don’t have enough gas or don’t quite have the biting point - absolutely no in-between and I just cannot get it right! Clutch control for other things is fine such as setting off, reversing or crawling in traffic etc. My test is in 10 weeks (I’ve had about 20+ lessons) and I’m considering taking my own car to test as I just cannot do it in my instructors car at all! It’s starting to stress me out now. 😩 Thanks for your helpful video - I’ll try some of the tips. 💝

Do you ever do q lesson and it's bases on how to recover from the stall. My thinking is if q learner knows how to recover from a stall they won't worry about if they do. We don't worry about falling asleep we know how to get up and we generally don't fall over once we can walk. Yet we do occasionally have to pick ourselves up

You make some really good points . People don't realise that we perform very intricate tasks with our hands but tend to clump about with our feet-well I do,anyway. It all takes practice, and managing to work through the nerves of being a new driver really helps with the stalling issue. Thankfully, my Delphmobile has auto restart, hill assist, and electronic handbrake. It makes driving so much easier.

on a hill start, when I have reached the bite point and added gas, do I need to lift the clutch a little more to get it going or is it enough to just add gas and the car will be able to go?

Take small trips in your local area. Start off with a lap around the block and then expand it. It's just about building confidence on your own and remember you can drive, the government gave you a certificate that says so!

Drive every day if you can. Take different routes and familiarise yourself with the destination beforehand,and using the Sat nav,which will help you remain in control. Also,say to yourself:" I am a safe and confident driver". I did that after I passed my test, and I have the worst nerves. "The most effective way to do it is to do it."

Your driving instructor won't thank you for holding at the biting point at a red light. 😅
@zenabraithwaite19342 ай бұрын
Why?
@sgttoxiiczz2 ай бұрын
@zenabraithwaite1934 because, while you're hold at the bite point, the clutch plate is slipping against the rotation of the engine. While the clutch is designed to slip because it allows the wheels to get up to speed with the engine (thats why we hold the clutch when setting off/changing gear), the prolonged slipping causes unnecessary friction and heating of the clutch plate which leads to faster clutch wear. Some instructors are probably fine with it, some even teach it but, if you ride the clutch in your own car, you'll need to replace your clutch quite often.
@zenabraithwaite19342 ай бұрын
@sgttoxiiczz there is a difference between riding the clutch and using the clutch for it's purpose. If you don't want to use the clutch buy an automatic.
