CLUTCH TROUBLE.
Most clutch trouble develops as a result of using this unit of the car to compensate for shortcomings in the engine. Many car owners overlook this when taking it for granted that the clutch merely reflects their own Inexperience as drivers. When the engine does not pick up as it should there is a natural inclination to slip the clutch in order to help the power plant. Because the engine idling is too fast the driver is tempted to ease the / start by partly engaging the clutch. All this paves the way for clutch trouble, including grabbing, “ chattering ” and slipping. Most of it can be avoided by paying more attention to the engine, keeping it in better condition and adjusting the throttle so that the idling speed is correct lor smooth starting and easy gear shifting.
