CLUTCH CONTROL - HOW TO DO CLUTCH CONTROL VIDEO LESSON

<<< Home
Clutch Control
Next >>>




The clutch consists of two friction plates. When the clutch pedal is pressed down the two friction plates move apart. This disconnects the engine from the wheel meaning none of the engines power can be transmitted to the wheels.

When you release the clutch the two friction plates move together and power starts to be transmitted to the wheels. This is known and the 'biting point'. The more you release the clutch pedal the more the plates touch and the more power can be transmitted from engine to wheels. Once the clutch pedal is fully released the clutch plates lock together and all the power from the engine can be sent to the wheels.

When you hold the clutch pedal so the clutch is only half engaged it is called clutch control. This can be helpful when needing to drive very slowly such as when carrying out manoeuvres.
