getting your vehicle from stationary to movement is the trickiest part of all so
this is a beginner's guide on how to take off without stalling so if you can
master this you will never ever stall again
welcome to Driving School WA
tutorials this video will teach you how not to stall ever again how difficult it
is what happens what are the components what happens inside of the engine when
when all of those vibration and shattering goes on so the main parts of
the clutch of a manual transmission vehicle we have two discs the one is
moving disc that's connected to the engine and the second static disc is
connected to your wheels to the chassis of your car so it's important to
understand how the two discs interact in order to be able to to take off smoothly
how to transfer the power from the engine smoothly to your wheels and once
you learn to do that properly you will never stall again so this knowledge is
extraordinarily important for those you know starting to learn a manual
transmission because it's just inevitable that you will have to handle
it right the disc on the left the disc that's powered by your engine as long as
your engine is running that disc is going to be rotating okay so as you can
see in this little video you know there's a is a disc that's connected to the engine
which is powered by the engine as long as the engines running it's going to be
rotating okay which will power the disc that's connected to the engine now when
you lift the foot if you do it suddenly your vehicle's gonna you know obviously
launch forward unexpectedly you're gonna feel like you're losing control over
it or potentially will stall now to do it smoothly you've got to join them
gently by raising the clutch really carefully so it's about raising your
clutch to the friction point where you're going to feel the vibration and
then upon feeling that vibration you will have to which means you know that
vibration means that the two discs have touched okay so that's the time when you
need to increase the speed of the engine which is the obviously it's going to add
an extra power to to the disk that's just touched the static disk that's
basically if you think about it it hits a ton of steel like you know if your
vehicle weighs a thousand you know kilograms so at that point in time
you've got to increase the speed by accelerating and then in the seesaw
principle sort of action so one foot goes down one foot goes up you would
need to smoothly transfer the power of your engine to the wheels if you do it
suddenly your vehicle will launch forward suddenly so if you just drop the pedal
upward so you've got to control it with your foot so this is what's going to
happen if you do it suddenly now in the second scenario you you will have to be
more careful so once you joined them you've got to increase the speed of the
you know the disc that's rotating in order to engage the whole car into
movement so again it's about the transfer of power from your engine to
the wheels now how easy or how difficult it will be
you know to take off without stalling or without launching forward
uncontrollably it's going to depend on on a few factors obviously your
knowledge of how it happens your ability to control apparently human foot has 17
muscles and a lot of times we say you know you will probably be using some of
those muscles that you don't even know you own it's it's you know it's it's
about the feel of it it's about you know getting used to each different
you know cars every every car feels different it'll depend on the size of
your engine as well if your engine is more powerful it's going to be less
difficult to take off even if you drop the clutch a bit too suddenly it will
still potentially be powerful enough to engage the disc that's you know static
that's connected to your wheels you know to the car to engage the entire weight of
your car into the movement so in the next video on manual transmission on
controlling clutch we will explain practically how it should feel and you
know at which point we reach the point where what we call a friction point
where the two discs touch and at what intensity we should accelerate and at
which sort of rate we should keep raising the clutch versus the accelerator
going inward so it's always an a seesaw type of you know movement you know one
foot comes up and one foot comes in now once we've taken off once we've gained
the momentum we've got to raise the foot of the clutch and we've got to remove our foot off the
clutch it should be very simple once you repeated it a few times but without
understanding how to do it it is almost impossible you can struggle for months
you know we had the number of students who struggled and who couldn't you know
simply do it well just because of the lack of explanation and obviously the
you know poor you know guidance and you can repeat it so many times but the
worst thing about you know wrong repetition is it's not going to you know
your progress is not only stagnating it's going to put your
backwards because you have to correct what you're doing wrong it's potentially
going to require a lot more work than if you didn't do it at all
so it is very important to understand what happens in there in order to do it
once again the disk on the left is connected to the engine and as long as
the engines on it's gonna be rotating so you've got to join them nice
and gentle that way you can smoothly transfer the power from the engine to
the wheels this is how the two disks the shaft disk and the clutch disk interact
and this is really important for learners for beginners to understand
what happens inside of the engine so if you can master this you will never ever
stall again thanks for watching and we will see you in the next video
