The don't of Manual Transmission Vehicle




Today we will look at some things You Shouldn't do with manual transmission vehicle, so your car can serve you better. 

Cars that have a manual gearbox, a gear stick with options to switch between different gears, and a clutch pedal are called manual transmission cars. Here is a list of things you should never do in a manual transmission vehicle:

Never Engage The Clutch Continuously While Driving

The clutch is supposed to be engaged only when you are pressing the brake or changing gears. If you keep it pressed halfway while driving, it will lead to extra friction and the clutch will wear out sooner. It will not only reduce the durability but also increase your car’s maintenance cost.

Never Shift Gears Without Engaging The Clutch

Not engaging the clutch while shifting gears can be harmful to the transmission of your car. Understand that the main function of a clutch is to control the contact between transmission and engine. The car can run into a series of jerky motions as it struggles to find the right balance between gears and engine’s speed.

Never Leave Your Manual Car In Gear When Stationary

Keeping the car in gear while stationary implies that the clutch is also engaged. Keeping the clutch engaged for longer durations wears it out sooner. As mentioned earlier, this will increase the maintenance cost for your car.

Never Use Wrong Gears With Wrong Speeds

Using wrong gears at wrong speeds visibly stresses the car. The car will lag and you will hear the noise that is not natural for a car to make. This sound is caused by the strain on the transmission and the engine of your car. Continuously driving with mismatched gears is not good for the car in the long run.

Never Press On The Break Without Engaging The Clutch

While some car drivers prefer to hit the brake without engaging the clutch, it is not advised for people who have recently learned driving. You need to have more control over the vehicle and expertise to handle it in such a situation. Your car will start jolting if you brake without holding down the clutch.

Never Accelerate For Long Before Switching To The Next Gear

Accelerating at the lower gear will launch your car at a higher speed, however, it can only reach a certain high point. Driving with this setting will put a strain on your gearbox and this habit will damage it faster. At the same time, you will also end up using more fuel than required. Thus, switch to the next gear when the speed increases. This is one of the most important things you should never do in a manual car.

Never Switch To Neutral While Driving

It is widely believed that switching the car to the neutral mode while driving will save fuel. However, it is dangerous to do so. Switching to neutral will reduce the control you have over the car. This can prove to be life-threatening in a risky situation.

Never Shift To Second Gear Immediately After The First

It is advised by experts that a person should switch to the second gear only when the car is running between 5 to 15mph. This does not imply that you attack the accelerator on starting the car. Switching to the second gear immediately will reduce the expected life of the gearbox and you need to spend money on it.

AUTOCARE: TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

Transmission system Transmission System Transmission system is used in motor vehicles to supply the output of the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels. The transmission reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process. Transmission system consist of Clutch assembly Gear box assembly (Transmission case assembly) Propeller shaft Clutch system The clutch assembly interrupts the power flow between the engine and the transmission when the vehicle is brought to a stop with the engine running. and when shifting gears. It is a mechanical device that transfers all power from the engine into the transmission of a vehicle. Without a properly operating clutch, power transfer and gear shifting would be very difficult. The clutch is located between the engine flywheel and the transmission Functions of Clutch (a) To disconnect the engine power from the gear box as required. (b) To allow the engine to take up load gradually without

NEW YEAR INSPIRATION The year is into full swing already Tellrheaders, but for all we have missed so far, I wish you a Happy New Year. There are a lot of things that come with the new year - resolutions, tasks etc. However, one must be inspired to achieve. For inspiration, where do you look? Lets take you back to the 70's, 1976 to be precise. The first movie of the Rocky series was born, produced out of a brilliant manuscripts written by a film actor who was struggling financially and had his backyard problems to solve. The actor and writer of this wonderful piece wrote the first manuscript in under twenty hours, after seeing the boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner. That actor/writer is Sylvester Stallone and today the Rocky franchise ( if I may call it so) is a recognized international movie with great acclaims, enough to earn Stallone a place in the International Boxing Hall of Fame in a non-commissioned for playing the role of Rocky. When Stallone wrote
