My clutch pedal has a loud creaking noise when i push it in?
It probably needs a bit of grease on the clutch fork pivot point.. otherwise the throwout bearing could be bad but sounds unlikely. Check the linkage, and have a friend work the clutch till you find the spot.. give er some grease...
What is the point where the engine and the transmission engage called?
If you mean when you are controlling the clutch, e.g. pulling away at lights I think you mean 'the biting point'. Hope this helps
Hydraulic clutch doesn't engage until top of travel?
The clutch is toast and needs replaced as they wear pedal travel gets higher and higher, on an old cable adjusted clutch you can adjust some for wear on a hydraulic clutch it adjust for wear until it can't compensate anymore and you get slippage and a high bite point/clutch pedal. In short you need a new clutch.
My clutch got stuck in reverse?
I have a 2006 international stick shift tow truck and earlier today the clutch got stuck in reverse. I can't get it back into neutral and the clutch got stuffed. What could it be? Can anyone help?
While slowing down, is it harmful to press the clutch along with the brakes in a manual car?
It’s not harmful, but you may get a jolting or jerky ride and may get increased brake wear if you don’t do it correctly. You may also wear the clutch out if you only depress it to the biting point where it is not slipping 100%.If you are learning to drive you will get lots of false advice on this subject. Almost everyone will say brake first. In fact it depends on your speed, what gear you are in and whether you are going uphill, downhill or are on the flat. It can also depend on how your engine management system is programmed.If you want to slow smoothly you should consider how much engine braking you will get by coming off the gas. At high engine revs in low gears engine braking is considerable. At low engine speeds in high gears it is negligible. If you brake when going very slowly in some cars they will speed up as the engine management increases the revs as it suspects the car may be on the way to stalling.If coming off the gas will cause the car to slow down more than is comfortable or necessary put the clutch down first. Then release the gas as the clutch goes through the biting point. Your gas foot can now move to the brake. This tactic is generally used at speeds of below 20mph.At higher speeds in higher gears engine braking will not slow you down as sharply and so you can comfortably benefit from it. It can also save fuel to use engine braking, as the fuel supply is shut off on the over-run on many modern cars. Then once you get down to about 20mph you can depress the clutch.Over-run is where the engine is being turned by the kinetic energy of the car rather than the chemical energy of the fuel.
