Do you drive a car with manual transmission? Being able to use the clutch pedal is the best way to pass the driving test. However this is not enough to avoid the most common mistakes in using the manual transmission.That’s why we’re going to showyouthe 8 most common mistakes driving a manual car.NUMBER 8:LEAVE THE CAR IN GEAR AT A RED LIGHTAdmit it, when you stop at the traffic light, you wait for the green light pressing the clutch pedal down, first gear engaged and foot on the brake.Even if the drivinginstructor told you that it’s correct, you’re wearing the clutch out.The best thing to do is to disengage the gear andputthe car in neutral. Even though the bearings are usually designed to last more than the clutch, it’s better not to hold the clutch down for so long, because in this position the launch bearing will be kept against the diaphragm spring causing its premature wear.NUMBER 7: RESTINGYOUR FOOT ON THE CLUTCH PEDALSome people keep their foot on the clutch pedal while driving. This can make a contact between the clutch release bearing and clutch cover causingmore frictionwhen not necessary, which can lead through timetoannoyingnoisesand damageswith high cost of repair.NUMBER 6: RELEASE THE CLUTCH TOO FASTThisis a problem for both expert drivers and beginners.A sharp release of the clutch will make jolt the vehicleand exert an excessive pressure on the engine and the transmission.This move causes the overheating of the clutch, which can lead to expensive damages over time. Through experience you’ll understandthe right release point of the clutch and obviouslygeta smoother and more natural riding; this means you’ll be able to better control the car without blocking or shakingit.NUMBER 5: REST YOUR HAND ON THE STICKWhen shifting gear, you don’t probably think of what is happening inside the gearbox. Every time you shift gear, the selector fork in the gearbox comes into contact with the rotating parts to select the gear.Resting the hand onthe gear knobcan make you unintentionally exertpressureon the selector fork and other inner parts.In long term, this habit can speed up the wear of gearboxcomponents, cause annoying noises or defects in engagingagear.So, after having shifted gear, don’t leave your hand on the gear knob,butput it on the steering wheel, also for safety reasons.NUMBER 4: USE THE CLUTCH TO HOLD THE CAR ON A HILLIf you have to stop while driving on a climbing road, be sure the car won’t start moving backwards. Many drivers do it holding the clutch on its releasepoint to stay steady. However, by doing this, you burn the friction material on the clutch disc, as itwill spin at a speed whereas the pressure plate at another. Besides, the carcould accidentally roll back hitting something or someonebecause you don’t find the clutch biting point anymore.So if you stop, apply the handbrake to keep the car still till you goagain. Modern cars with manual transmission have the hill holder technology: this will keep the car still for a couple of seconds after releasing the handbrake, giving time to accelerate before the car rolls back. NUMBER 3: DON’T FLOOR THE THROTTLE ATLOW ENGINE REVSIf you’re driving at low speed and low revs, it’s not a good idea to suddenly push down the accelerator pedal.By doing this, you’re sending mixed messages to your vehicle. As a matter of fact, at low revs the car thinks it’s time to relax, whereas your foot is saying to work really hard, causing excessive stress to the engine and damages toits health.If you need to speed up,you’d better shift one or twogearsdownand then accelerate.In this case, like in other situations, experienceis helpful and with time you gain the ability to selectthe right gear for a certain speed and rpm. NUMBER 2: COAST IN NEUTRAL ON A DOWNHILLPutting into neutral coasting on a downhillwasa common fuel-saving practice. However,due to the power system in modern cars,it’s not convenient anymore in terms of energy.Besides, it is also dangerous because the driver doesn’t have full control of the car, being unable to accelerate in case of danger or to use brake engine, which consequently leadstobrakesoverheating.NUMBER 1: BRAKING WITHOUT USING THE CLUTCHBy braking or decelerating,rpmdecrease along with the velocity; however if the engine speed is too low the car will stop. Henceit is important to pressthe clutch pedal before the car stops...
