Can you back up and keep the clutch on
In the open place without obstacles to reverse, can not step on clutch. The reverse gear in the transmission adopts the small gear to drive the big gear. In other words, the speed of reverse gear is not high under the condition of idle engine, which is generally about 20km/h. If you feel that the speed of reversing is too fast or the position of reversing is relatively narrow and many obstacles, there is no problem to reverse the clutch.
Old drivers often say that clutch driving hurts, and it is true. Driving on the clutch will make the clutch friction plate attached to the flywheel, resulting in clutch slip.
In addition, the clutch pressure plate and the control fork is connected by the separation bearing, driving on the clutch will accelerate the wear of the separation bearing, especially at a higher speed.
But in the face of safety, friction plate slip and separation bearing wear is nothing. Therefore, for safety, semi-linkage clutch can be used to move the vehicle at the speed of 5~10km/h when reversing, so that the driver can have enough reaction time and operation time.
Clutch and separation bearings do wear out, but they're not as fragile as we think. Even if the taxi is day and night, its clutch and separation bearings can generally be used for a long time; And our general family car clutch can be at least a hundred thousand kilometers, so there is no need to worry about reversing the clutch will hurt clutch.
