147
Q

What is the “friction point” when using a manual transmission?

A

The friction point is the point at which the engine and transmission engage while releasing the clutch.

Upon reaching the transmission point, the driver must balance slowly engaging the gas pedal while simultaneously easing off the clutch in order to prevent the vehicle from stalling.

148
Q

What is “lugging” and “racing” in a manual transmission?

A

“Lugging” is when the engine is running in a rough, bumpy fashion because the vehicle is in too high of a gear for how slow it’s going.

“Racing” is when the engine is spinning quickly without having any effect on the car’s speed, because the vehicle is in too low a gear for how fast it’s going.

149
Q

What should a driver do before starting from a street-parking spot?

A

Turn on the signal furthest from the curb and shoulder check before pulling out

150
