I've just learned how to drive. When you want to stop the car, which do you push first, the brake or the clutc

Answer 1

it depends how fast you are driving. if you are driving very slow,you push the clutch first so you won't stall then the brake to stop the car. if you are driving very fast, push the brake first and as the car is nearly rolling on a stopping mode, you push the clutch so the car won't stall. if there's heavy traffic ahead because of accidents or any, you might want to put the car on neutral then engage the parking brake to relax your feet. good luck.

Answer 2

To start the car as in to have the engine turn on or to get the car moving?

To start the car start first by putting the emergency brake on. Press the clutch with your left foot, stick in neutral, and turn the key. You can now release the clutch. Now press on the brake peddle with your right foot and release the emergency brake. With your right foot on the brake peddle press down the clutch with your left foot again putting the stick in first gear and as you slowly let up the clutch press on the gas, this will get you moving.

When you press the clutch down its the same as the car being in neutral. One thing you don't want to do is let the clutch up without having enough pressure on the gas peddle, that will make you stall. I used to drive a Taurus SHO and I would switch gears at every 10 mph, give or take. 1st gear up to 20 mph, 2nd gear up to 30 miles per hour, etc etc et.

To stop the car though, a complete stop, you can push either first. But eventually you will have to press the clutch, putting it in neutral, or else the car will stall, then put the stick in neutral.

Answer 3

"Push the brake first and hold it there.

Then press on the gaz to get some revs.

Then press on the clutch smoothly untile the engine is reving really high.

Then depress the cluch suddenly and you migh get wheelspin depending on what kind of car you drive!"

Sorry just joking!

In a street situation press on the brakes first, especially in emegencies, don't worry about the clutch. Press it after the brakes.

For racing, use the clutch and gears first and then use the brakes later.

Answer 4

Press the brake first and slow the car right down, then push the clutch down as well to stop it stalling.

In an emergency you are normally taught to stamp on both pedals at the same time.

Answer 5

Assuming this is a normal stopping sequence...Initially, step on the clutch to stop the forward momentum. While the clutch is depressed, then you engage the brake to bring the vehicle to a stop in the needed space.

In an emergency depress the brake, the car will stop and stall.

Answer 6

You should hit the brake first if you really need to stop the car in an emergency. If you are just stopping, then you need to push in the clutch first.

Answer 7

brake first. Depending on the speed u have 2 push clutch

Answer 8

depends

if you are going fast, it is better to push the brake until the car slows, and then engage the clutch

if you are downshifting, which saves breaks, but hurts gas mileage a little, you can brake a little before each shift

of course, you need to dis-engage the clutch before the engine gets so slow that it "lugs"

good luck
good driving
like I tell my kids, when you have a manual transmission, you are DRIVING, not just "pointing"

Answer 9

Brake

Answer 10

It doesn't matter which one you press first, but you should press in the clutch before the engine RPMs drop to a point that they are incompatable with the gear you're in, and certainly before you come to a complete stop. If you do not, the engine will begin to "chug", vibrating more & more heavily until the engine dies. It takes a little bit of practice to get used to it, but after awhile you'll be shifting smoothly without even thinking about it. Good luck!
