Does a clutch burn when you apply gas and slowly release the clutch?

I am learning how to drive manual transmission and need to know if the clutch burns when you are taking off if you give it a bit of gas first and then start to release the clutch?



Also what way is it better to take off?



1) Release the clutch a bit and then give it gas and than continue to release the clutch slowly?



2) Give it a bit of gas first and then start to release the clutch?



Thanks, the more answers I get the better!Does a clutch burn when you apply gas and slowly release the clutch?The following relates to starting from a standstill in low gear. Shifting gears usually doesn't require pressing the gas pedal until after the clutch is engaged.



A clutch always suffers a small amount of wear no matter how smoothly you release the pedal, but the least wear comes from giving no gas. The problem with that idea is the engine may stall. You can practice with your particular car to see what it takes. Some cars will stall; others won't. I always use the technique of letting out the clutch pedal a bit before giving any gas. When the clutch is not moving, the sudden contact with a fast spinning pressure plate will cause slipping and wear. If the clutch makes contact with a slow spinning pressure plate, it will start spinning. Then the increasing speed of the pressure plate as you give the engine gas will make the clutch spin faster.



In more than forty years of driving manual shift cars, I have had very few clutch problems.

How to change a clutch in a 1992 prelude?

need to change clutch on a 192 prelude wana do it my self anyone tell me how?How to change a clutch in a 1992 prelude?Replacing the clutch on a front wheel drive vehicle is much more difficult then you would think. Definitely get a Chilton's manual and follow it step by step. Along with the complete meteric tool set mentioned earlier make sur you have plenty of extensions.

I personally find it easier to pull the engine and transmission together, change the clutch on the floor and reinstall the egine/trans. If you haven't done a clutch before front or rear wheel drive, then this may be one that you want to allow a shop to do.

If you do choose to go ahead yourself use a Chilton's, the steps are much too involved to describe.



Good LuckHow to change a clutch in a 1992 prelude?your best bet is get a chilton repair manual for your vehicle's year make and model and follow the directions VERY carefully. its an involved process to remove and replace the clutch. first thing you need to do is get the vehicle onto jack stands, remove the wheels, front drive shafts, with a transmission jack or (small floor jack), under the transmission, separate the transmission from the motor. the clutch sits inside the bell housing that attaches the motor to the transmission. and you might want to think about getting a full set of metric end wrenches, metric sockets, a few screw drivers,( flat head and phillips heads) and a few pliers (regular and needle nose), a pry bar and a good hammer because your gonna need them, or you can take it to a shop, someone you trust and let them do it.How to change a clutch in a 1992 prelude?Hey, that's my car! you bought it. i just changed the clutch two years ago. To tell you step-by-step is impossible here. Get a Chilton's or Haynes repair manual and follow instructions carefully. you should be ok if you're a mechanically inclined person. don't forget to get yourself a clutch alignment tool. you must align the clutch.

How many pounds of force do you need to pull the clutch cable in a car ?

In terms of pulling force needed to disengage the clutch (like pushing the clutch pedal down) But I need to know how much force on the cable, not the pedal. Pretend there is no clutch pedal and you have to pull in the clutch cable with your hands.



Roughly how much would it be a:



Honda Civic/Toyota 4cyl



Honda Accord/Camry 6cyl



Ford Mustang/Pontiac GXP



Audi RS4/Bmw M3



Porsche 911 Turbo/ Ferrari F430?



Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!How many pounds of force do you need to pull the clutch cable in a car ?in trade auto class they teach the ratio is about 6 to 1.

so if that is true and it takes 30 lbs to push the pedal then

its about 180 lbs.



spring clutches are worse on trucks (bear trap)



one can find out exactly by measuring the arm on both sides of the clutch pivit (of the pedal assy) and then divide the two measurements.



like 2 inches and 12 would be 6 to 1 .

then using a compression scale measure the pedal pressure.

then multiply by 6 and you have an very accurate measurment.

or crawl under car with fish scale and pull real hard on clutch pivot with a come-a-long.

more difficult ( impossible for fluid hyd. cylinder clutch)



hope I have helped.

Hydraulic clutch have to pump to get in gear, what is wrong?

I have a 03 Dodge Ram 2500 with a Diesel and 6 speed. When I start the truck the clutch pedal is very soft. I am unable to get the truck into gear without pumping the clutch 20-30 times, then I can shift into gear no problems. I checked the fluid reservoir and it was still pretty full, I topped it off two days ago and it hasn't gone down since then.

What is wrong, and how much am I looking at to have it repaired at my friendly neighboorhood mechanic?Hydraulic clutch have to pump to get in gear, what is wrong?It sounds like you have air in the hydraulic clutch system.If the fluid is not leaking out of the reservoir you can probably get away with just bleeding the system.You shouldn't be looking at to much money to bleed the air out,just ask who ever is going to do the work to just try and bleed the system first and see if that solves the problem.The only other things that go wrong are leaking slave cylinders,leaking lines,or a bad clutch master cylinder,but then you would be losing brake fluid.Well this should give you some help.Hydraulic clutch have to pump to get in gear, what is wrong?could either be the master or slave is going out on the clutch ..Hydraulic clutch have to pump to get in gear, what is wrong?Sounds like you have air in the lines or a bad master clutch cylinder or slave cylinder.
