How to get moving on the mechanics: 3 effective ways

'It takes a lot of practice to move smoothly on the mechanics.


How to start off on the mechanics so as not to stall? To this day, this issue remains one of the most relevant for motorists. Despite the fact that a variety of automatic transmission options are now much more common , there are still enough cars with a manual transmission.
It is unlikely that we will open something radically new if we say that the clutch should be released smoothly enough. At the same time, many novice drivers are faced with the fact that simply by smoothly releasing the clutch, they cannot start off as well as professionals. Why? Let's look at the main points that drivers are not told in a driving school.

How to properly release the clutch

It is unlikely that we will open something radically new if we say that the clutch should be released smoothly enough. At the same time, many novice drivers are faced with the fact that simply by smoothly releasing the clutch, they cannot start off as well as professionals. Why? Let's look at the main points that drivers are not told in a driving school.
Move only on the clutch. Such a skill is only necessary to realize that the car can move without re-gassing. If you spin the engine up to 1.5 thousand revolutions during the start of movement, then it will be easier for you and the car to start. In addition, this option of releasing the clutch will help so that the car does not twitch.

You don't have to depress the pedal all the way. Many novice drivers, when the car “grabs” for joy, throw the clutch and the car starts to “sausage”, and sometimes it even stalls. To avoid such a problem, at the moment when the car “grabbed” and started moving, it is necessary to hold the clutch pedal in this position for 2-3 seconds, after which the clutch can be smoothly released to the end.

How to learn to feel grip

Unfortunately, no article and no video will help you feel the grip. There are no special life hacks, after which you will ideally move off anytime and anywhere. It takes weeks of practice to learn. So, in order to learn how to move more or less normally on a flat surface, you need from 2 to 5 lessons. At the same time, to drive smoothly and confidently, it will take several weeks, or even a couple of months of continuous driving practice.

How to get under way on the mechanics uphill

Undoubtedly, this is one of the most difficult exercises during training, as well as a real stress for a novice driver in real life. If you have learned to start on a flat surface, then do not overestimate yourself. So, starting uphill will require additional skills from you, which are better to practice somewhere in a deserted place.

  • When you stop on the rise, do not use the handbrake, but hold down the normal brake;
  • Engage a gear and slowly release the clutch until you feel the car begin to “pull”, after which you can release the brake and the car will remain in place. In this case, the clutch must be kept in one position.
  • Next, it is worth adding a little gas and starting to gradually release the clutch;
  • If you feel that the car is close to stalling, then just add more gas.
There is no special training without a machine for a leg that squeezes the clutch. The only training that can be advised to beginners is to depress the clutch pedal on the car in which they will drive in the future.

========================================

  • To begin with, with the car running, find the position where the pedal “grabs”;
  • After already on a muffled car, you can practice depressing the clutch with a stop for 2-3 seconds at the place of “grabbing”;
  • This will help you get used to how the clutch behaves on a particular vehicle and make starting off much easier.
To summarize, in total we have 3 main ways to start off in a car with mechanics:
The first method (without gas; rarely used):
  1. We start the car.
  2. Depress the clutch.
  3. Engage first gear.
  4. We begin to slowly release the pedal.

The second way (gas then clutch; great way for beginners):
  1. We put the box in neutral and start the car.
  2. Press the clutch with your left foot and shift into first gear.
  3. We press the gas with our right foot, we control the tachometer so that the readings are in the region of 1500-2000.
  4. Slowly release the clutch.


The third way (gas and clutch at the same time; the most difficult way, which provides the smoothest start):


  1. Squeeze the clutch with your left foot, turn on the gear.
  2. We put our right foot on the gas, but do not press it.
  3. Slowly release the left foot, and feeling the vibration, we begin to increase the engine speed.
