Driving with a faulty clutch
If the clutch fails on the road, for example, does not engage or disengage, then by following the rules below you can continue driving and get to a nearby destination or the nearest service station. With careful operation of the accelerator pedal and gearshift lever, you can even shift up and down.
Turning off the transmission. To do this, you need to release the "gas" and move the gearshift lever to neutral. If the gear sticks, you should add a little "gas".
Start. Warm up the engine before starting so that it does not stall immediately. Turn off the engine and engage 1st gear. Turn on the starter. Your car will move, but will move in jerks until the engine speed equals the gearbox speed. If you are not going to change gears while driving, on a level surface you can start off in the described manner from 2nd gear.
Shifting into higher gear. In 1st gear, lightly press the accelerator pedal so that the engine speed is just above idle (about 1000 min⁻¹). Then release the "gas" a little and move the gear lever to neutral. (If the gear sticks, add "gas" a little). Now release the accelerator pedal and carefully move the gear lever to the 2nd gear position. With the same engine and gearbox speed, 2nd gear should engage almost by itself.
If you miss the gear shift point, add a little gas again to allow the gear to engage.
If nothing works, stop and try again.
Shifting to higher gears is done only at low speeds: to 2nd at approximately 20 km/h, to 3rd at 30 km/h, to 4th at 40 km/h, to 5th at 50 km/h.
Shifting to a lower gear it is better to do it at low engine speeds and at low speeds.
1. First, release the gas a little and turn off the gear.
2. Lightly press the accelerator pedal to increase engine speed. At the same time, move the gearshift lever to the next lower gear. If the engine is running at the desired speed, the gear will engage with almost no effort.
