In the driver’s courses, the negative effect of starting the vehicle by pressing the clutch is not mentioned much. Let’s face it, many driving schools just can’t give up on rote learning. For this reason, we cannot have any information about the negative effect of starting the vehicle by pressing the clutch.
From the moment the clutch pedal is depressed, every part of the car installation takes action to do its job. Speaking of ignition, drag ratio and pressure values, we will now go into the details that both the driving school teachers in question and our father did not teach much.
Let’s first understand the logic of the plumbing:
When we look at the interior of cars, we see the level relationship between ignition and engine. The clutch pedal is like an indispensable key between these two. Depressing the clutch pedal while the car is in neutral starts the ignition. Although the main event of the clutch is to provide a smooth driving experience; depressing the pedal fully is equivalent to putting the car in neutral. This, of course, is the theoretical side of things.
There’s a slight change in events when it comes to starting the car. Because depressing the clutch pedal while starting the vehicle requires overloading the engine and ignition engine. Transmission parts are connected to the engine when the clutch pedal is not depressed.
Why do we say it can be harmful?
Depressing the clutch pedal disengages the entire transmission from ignition and therefore creates less drag. With the clutch disengaged, drag is much higher when running the car in neutral. Not only does the main shaft of the engine feel any impact, but all parts of the transmission function and create drag accordingly. These uncontrolled pressure levels vary by vehicle model.
For example, some models have a pressure of hundreds of kilos, while in others this amount rises to tons. Let’s say we’re in a vehicle that only runs 1 horsepower. While there may be a high pressure explosion here, a 100 horsepower engine will not tell me against this pressure. A 1-horsepower starter motor may explode under pressure or one day begin to give off smoke.
The essence of the matter is that for a healthier vehicle life, we can leave the traditional teachings and base the importance of starting the car from the neutral position. Don’t get into too much polemics with your father, though.
