I don’t know about you guys, but I start car on a hill with a heel toe , without using e-brake at all ..
Would you consider doing a vid about the e-brake/park brake and how it is or isn’t bad for it to ratchet it up as opposed to pushing in the button? I’ve heard a lot of discussion about it but there’s loads of people on both sides of the fence and I noticed in the video that you ratchet it. I ratchet as well but never thought anything of it
You know what really grinds my gears? Not using the clutch.
Yeah bro appreciate it
Number 6: Don’t coast downhill in neutral!
You’d fail a driving test if you take your car out of first and put it in neutral at the lights in New Zealand.
Is it bad to leave Drive on an Auto if im stopped?
When stopped at lights you should have the handbrake / e brake / parking brake applied. That way if you’re crashed into you won’t roll into some other shtuff. Having the foot brake applied isn’t enough as you may not be conscious.
I need to watch more Engineering Explained. I like this guy!
Realistically unless you are applying a significant force to the gear shift when your hand is resting on it (and I mean actively pushing) then the connecting rod bearings will wear out long before you wear out the shift forks. How long exactly do you think you’ll be driving your car?
Provided that you don’t wear cement shoes/aren’t completely oblivious, then you should be able to rest your foot on the clutch pedal without reaching the engagement point (which btw would be where the thrust bearing first comes into contact with the diaphragm spring), meaning that you resting your foot there is doing precisely nothing.
Finally, when using the e-brake technique, only fwd cars will actually start to squat as the clutch engages unless you have some crazy drive-line/suspension geometry. FWD, the front wheels try to pull you away while the rear wheels hold you in place, so you get some squat or front end lift as the torque is applied to the tires. In a rwd car, you’re trying to drive the same wheels that the brake is applied to.
