"One should not use clutch while excelarating". Please explain why ?

Answer 1

Pressing the clutch cause disconnetion of the engine and the transmission. While accelerating, the gas pedal is to the metal, meaning that a lot of fuel is injected into the engine. Releasing the engine of the resistance of the road friction (that is transferred to the engine from the wheels and thru the transmission), that lot of fuel causes the engine revolving far more faster, which can cause damage of the engine, if the maximum rpm is passed.

On the other hand, by partial pressing the clutch during acceleration, the friction between the clutch and the flywheel of the engine is reduced, and engine accelerates, without accelerating the transmission. The clutch and the flywheel have to rotate at the same speed, so, if those speeds are different, the clutch gets overheated and damaged, which can cause it's burning and wearing out at such high rate that it actually disappears - friction surfaces go so thin that they cannot reach the flywheel to transfer the rotation of it to the transmission - then they are useless. Not to menition possible fire in the engine compartment.

However, the clutch must be used when changing gears at synchronous gearing. Without using the clutch You can damage the whole gearbox. But, when changing gears, You are NOT accelerating literally - acceleration means pressing the gas pedal, not increasing the speed of the vehicle by changing gears.

OK?

Answer 2

well basically the clutch is sort of like two pieces that connect the engine to the drive shaft that has variable friction, based on the amount of clutch engaged.

It's not to say it's "bad" but clutch abuse can cause premature wear, make fluid go bad, etc. For the most part, the less a clutch is semi engaged, the less wear and tear the clutch will have. Obviously you can just left the cltuch out immediatly and drive around, but you shouldn't be engaging the clutch to accelerate. The fly wheel turns faster than the clutch and just eats into it and the temperature goes up burning clutch fluid.

oh and to the above about the rpm issue. No it shouldn't be a problem in modern cars. they will all have rpm limiters, and running at a high rpm for bursts is really not harmful for a healthy engine. slightly engaging the clutch it bad.

Answer 3

On a standard transmission, the clutch is used to change the gears. You let up on the accelerator in order to press down on the clutch then switch gears. It gives no benefit to the clutch or clutch diaphragm (and other parts) if you do this - press on clutch and accelerator at the same time. May harm the assembly - and your motor - in the long run. Follow the operators instructions for best performance. You can even try it to see how it feels while driving - then you will know what is going on. Once won't do much damage.

Answer 4

it can wear your clutch out faster

remember, whenever the clutch is partially in, you are grinding the wear surfaces

if you want your clutch to last, you need to use the disengage the clutch only when you stop or change gears, and you need to engage it fairly quickly (but not too quick and smoothly so as not to kill the engine) so that you won't have the clutch partly engaged for any longer than you need to

people who "ride" the clutch, meaning they use a partial clutch for controlling speed can use up a whole clutch in just a few thousand miles of driving

Answer 5

The engine of an automobile can only take so many RPM's. That's Revolutions Per Minute. When you apply the clutch, you disengage the transmission, this allows the motor to run without restriction. This causes higher RPM's. This could blow up the motor. Even if it does not happen right away, you are ruining the motor, and eventually it will fail.

Answer 6

Basically, when the vehicle is accelerating it has to transmit a great deal of force through the transmission linkage.

When you change gears, you need to break this connection momentarily and reestablish it with a different gear.

You want to relieve the force caused by acceleration so that the gears can disengage and reengage properly. If they are stressed when you change gears then they overheat and eventually bend or break.

So if you want to keep repair costs down, ease up on the gas when you clutch.

Answer 7

Keep in mind, I drive an auto, but the few times I have driven a manual, pressing the clutch and the gas at the same time don't mix. Try throwing an auto into neutral and pressing the gas, nothing happens. Also, if you are up shifting, you don't want to be pressing on the gas anyway. You upshift to get off of the gas!

Answer 8

You will wear out the clutch disk which will cost
you a lot of money to replace..
The less you allow the clutch to "slip" , the longer it will last.

Answer 9

when u push in the clutch, u disengage the motor from the transmission and coast, use clutch to change gears to the one u need.

Answer 10

Because you just destroy clutch plate ,lining ,release bearing if you step at pedal with out changing speed(gear shifting) it is
use to make speed up-down ,reverse vice versa
