Lets say you are on a hill, and you dont want your car to roll back. If you find your clutches "catch-point", will the car role??? Also, can you accelarate and let the car move while it is at its catch point?

need a few gas to maintain the position,
easier to use breaks
there may be something burning the clutches if you just maintain your position for a few minutes with some gas

Hello,
when you have your ctach-point, your clutch is not 100% 'catching'. The clutch allows the gearbox and the crankshaft of the enigne to slip, thus part of the torque is transmitted and the crankshaft can maintain it's speed reqiured for not stalling. You can do this so that the car stand still, but the engine gives enough torqe without any brakes to hold position. The clucth allows the engine to slip, therefore in won't stall.
To start uphill without handbarkes:
1. You start in neutral. with the barke pedal pushed.
2. You push the clutch and shift first.
3. You release the clutch to the point, where you hear the engine noise is changing, beacuse the engine is working against the brakes. This is your catch point.
4. As you holding this clutch point, start to release the brakes.If you did it well, your engine revs, the brakes are off but the car stands still or already rolling uphill.
5. As soon as you are off the brake pedal, just start giving some with the gas pedal, while releasing the clutch slowly.
While the clucth is not fully closed, it slips for good, so give the throttle in the same rythm as you step off the clutch.
Thus, when you can give at least so much power to the wheels that is enough to hold position, you can't roll abckwards.
Regards

Practice synchronizing the release of your left foot (clutch) with pressing down of the right foot (gas). Once you get the hang of it, you will not roll backwards and your clutch will thank you. Your starts will even be super smooth.
