wan to check with you guys when muz one use the clutch?isit only
when stopping,changing gear,and starting?
u can use it for very fast rolling... just like putting the gear
on 'neutral'.
u can use it for blowing the engine for fun when stationary.
and also when changing gear,can one change from third gear to first
gear straight away?or muz slowly change to second then to
first...?
change in sequence is best. coz it will have more even wear and
prevent yourself from garbra and engage wrong gear (5th) and cause
perm damage.
i've seen taxi drivers shift 1,3,5 wiith high revs. or 2,3,5. don't
ask me if will spoil transmission. but sometimes the car will
become sluggish.
and wht the correct way to start moving the car?isit depress the
clutch,depress acelerator,and slowly release clutch half way?Follow
by putting down the hand brake?
lastly,how to maintain the half clutch technique properly?cos
everytime have problem...
thanks~
1.step on clutch all the way.
2.release to halfway point and feel for the 'biting' point.
3. step on the accelerator (floor it if you want. 
)
4. once you feel the car 'want to go forwards'
4. release handbrake and release clutch.
