Why is it said that it is bad to use the clutch frequently while driving car? Does fuel consumption increasse?

Question

Is the following statement true or false:
"when clutch is used engine diengages from the vehicle then load on the engine decreases .
but to prevent the exhaust gases in the cylinder coming back to the suction line rich mixture of fuel is to be supplied so fuel consumption increases"

Answer 1

over using a clutch will cause it to burn up faster ,,when your sitting a red light take it out of gear and release the clutch(take your foot off the pedal) while you are waiting for the light to change ,,, shift slowly and don't over apply the clutch pedal when shifting into higher gears....

always holding the clutch pedal in at lights will use more gas, dont drive with you foot on the pedal either when you are driving, this will cas early burn out aswell..

Answer 2

When you disengage the clutch (at a stop light?) and let up on the gas the engine will idle saving fuel (compared with racing an idled engine). Of course mpg is zero while stopped. If you stop on a hill and slip the clutch (hold the car from rolling back using the clutch instead of the brakes) you can burn out or shorten the life of the clutch (and waste gas too).

Answer 3

It dose not increase fuel consumption but if you keep you foot on the clutch petal and do not move it you will not always be releasing the friction on the clutch. You will wear it out faster and maybe even cause damage to the transmission. Only use the clutch when you have to shift that way you will have no problems.

Answer 4

Clutch only disengages the engine from the wheels. It has no effect on the circulation within the engine.

Using the clutch too much means early replacement of Clutch Plates which is costly.

Answer 5

When you press in the clutch, you are essentally taking two parts, the engine and the wheels, and seporating them. Doing this, there needs to be somthing to keep them seporated, called a "throwout berring". why it is bad to have this berring used a lot is becasue it is extremely hard to keep something lubricated in the midst of a clutch system where there needs to be absolutly no lube, or else your clutch wouldn't grab. and, since this berring is in the middle of the clutch, to replace it, one must take apart the entire system.

as far as im aware, the fuel-air mixture in a car is usually constant, or else the dreaded carbon sticks to the sparkplugs and it's just a mess from there.

Answer 6

yea clutch disc will wear out if you apply clutch unnecessary. release clutch only when its required such as the vehicle complete stop, or on time of transmission changes. take ur foot from the clutch pedal while driving. and it affects the fuel consumption too

Answer 7

each little thing you stated leads to greater gas getting used than in case you probably did no longer do it. The air conditioner makes use of roughly 0.5 HP, which does no longer appear like lots, yet a typical automobile cruising at 60 mph makes use of below 20 hp to realize this. by using surprise, 0.5 a hp is two.5%. the different products have smaller effects, yet each little thing that makes use of ANY style of capability interior the automobile derives it from the gasoline. confident, that includes employing with the residing house windows down (greater drag) and working the radio with the engine stopped (the capability lost by using the battery is replenished later by using the alternator, that's pushed by using...the engine) Thes are the actual information interior the subject.

Answer 8

I think that

" is bad to use the clutch frequently while driving "

refers to the wear and tear on clutch-components
which leads to costly repair work

Answer 9

you are reducing the life of the clutch system.
