| Description of the problem | Clutch fails to disengage. This is most dangerous when vehicle is parked in gear(as when parked on a hill with the rear of the front wheels turned to curb, and an attempt is made to start vehicle by pushing clutch pedal down and activating ignition, the vehicle may start with clutch engaged, and propel the vehicle into street and into th e lane where traffic is approaching from behind, and therefore out of sight. Other dangerous situations are attempts are made to start vehicle are made in crowded parking lots where pedestrians might be walking behind car, and vehicle is propelled rearward. Additionally, if attempts are made to stop quickly as when a car pu;lls out in front of you as in an intersection, the clutch might not disengage, and the inertial power of the engine might overpower the brakes, and vehicle will continue forward until engine power is overcome by brake power incident each of these situations has happened to me, but i have managed, so far, to avoid the suggested results. |
