DRIVING
TIPS
CLUTCH>Keep in mind that there are really only two correct positions of the Clutch pedal-fully, out or fully in. ·Make it a rule to keep the foot off the clutch pedal except when actually shifting gears and to allow the -clutch to engago gently, 'Niding the Clutch”, which means to drive with the foot resting on' the pédal, is bad practise, as the clutch may then be sometimes incompletely engaged It is harmful to the cluich, resulting in unneces-
sary and rapid wear of thè release bearing and the clutch disc linings.
