How the clutch works
In it simplest form the clutch is made up of two circular friction plates, held firmly together by spring pressure. One of these plates is attached to the engine and rotates all the time that the engine is running. The other plate is attached through the gearbox to the drive wheels in macclesfield. Pressing the clutch pedal down forces the plates apart breaking the link between the link between the engine and the wheels. Controlling the clutch pedal correctly is a vital part of safe and skilled driving and take practice and experience.
Using the clutch
To move off, change gear and stop, you should be able to use the clutch smoothly and without looking at your feet. To begin with cover the clutch with your left foot and then press it down. This will disconnect the engine from the gearbox. You will have to do this when changing gear and just before stopping. Next let the pedal up smoothly. You will feel a powerful spring pushing your foot up.
Only a small part of the total pedal travel, known as the biting range, has any noticeable effect on the car. To move off you must and control very low speeds you must be able to find the biting point at the bottom of this range. the biting point is where the two clutch plates are just in contact so that they slip against one another. Lifting the clutch pedal up beyond this point brings the plates into full contact, causing the engine to drive the road wheels when you are having your driving lesson in macclesfield.
