If you don't press the clutch on a manual Carr there is a direct connection between the wheels of the Carr and the engine. Without the clutch the moment the engine it turned over by the starter motor the wheels would have to turn and the car would lurch forward. and if you were to apply the brakes and bring the car to a halt the engine would have to stop. So some bright spark has come up with a method where by the drive from the engine can be gradually connected or disconnected which allows the engine to keep turning when the wheels are standing still and makes the changing of gears far easier.

Can you drive a car with out a throwout bearing?

No, the throw out bearing in a clutch is needed to keep an disengaged clutch spinning. you can drive a car with a bad throwout bearing if you don't use the clutch By "floating the gears". You must disconnect or bypass the start safety switch (this is when you need to have the clutch pedal to the floor to start the moter) so that you can start the car in gear if you come to a complete stop.


What are the basic steps for driving a manual car?

Driving a manual car involves several fundamental steps. Firstly, ensure the car is in neutral by pressing the clutch pedal and shifting the gear stick to the middle position. Start the engine and gradually press the clutch while shifting the gear stick into first gear. Slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to start moving. To change gears, lift off the accelerator, press the clutch, shift to the desired gear, and then release the clutch while gradually applying the accelerator again. Rem
