WHY DO WE HAVE TO DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH (PRESS THE CLUTCH) for CHANGING GEARS IN A CAR?

You have to disengage the transmission from the engine because of the change in engine speed that occurs at shift changes.



In reality, you can slip the transmission into neutral and match the engine revs to the next gear, then get the transmission to slip into that gear, but it's very hard on both the engine and transmission. You can mess up the synchro mesh so badly that even if you use the clutch, you'll grind gears horribly.

You need to disengage the drive from the engine and allow you to shift to the gear you need effortlessly
stop yelling....put your finger into a fan....that will show you what happens when a object thats moving fast hits and object thats not.the clutch cushions the shock
double clutch - get the revs up around 5 grand



slam the gear......
Think like this : If you can imagine two circular plates

rotating

The first one is attached to the Clutch Pedal which you

control with your left foot---it moves up and down ,

right ?

The other Plate operates the Gizmo that connects

with the engine ----it gives you 3 speeds forward

and one to back up with---am I right or Amarillo ?



When you disengage the Clutch by pressing the

%26quot;Clutch Pedal %26quot; down with your left foot the other

disc or plate cannot operate ! It is similar to

your wheels with the tires spinning ---but

not touching the ground !



It is during this period that can use the Shift Lever

to change the gears from !st to 2nd to 3rd and 4th

if you have it .



Once you move your left foot out ( slowly,slowly ) and

reengage the Clutch Plate with the Gear Plate----

all systems are go .!



As one Plate said to the other Plate: %26quot; It takes two to

Tango !%26quot;
