Why do you have to release the clutch slowly?

If the pedal is released quickly, a definite lurch can be felt as the engine and driveshaft re-engage and their speeds equalize. However, if the clutch is released slowly the clutch disc will “slip” against the flywheel; this friction permits the engine a smoother transition to its new rotation speed.

Do you let the clutch out fast or slow?

The trick is to let the clutch out to the engagement point quickly and then more slowly from there. The only way you can know where this engagement point is, is by getting a feel for the car.

When you gradually release the clutch pedal what is happening to the transmission?

What happens when you release the clutch slowly with manual transmission?

There is a middle point at which the clutch plates connect but slip. This slipping allows the car engine to transfer the necessary torque to the stationary wheel. Thus, if you rapidly release the clutch slowly with manual transmission, the chances are that the car might stop abruptly.

Why does my car stall when I release the clutch suddenly?

In case, you release the clutch suddenly; the output would have to match the input and torque required for the speed.
