Why shouldn't you constantly use the clutch pedal when driving a manual transmission?
Keeping your foot on the clutch pedal continuously and depressing the clutch while waiting at red lights are bad habits that should be avoided when driving a manual transmission vehicle.
Many drivers said that while driving normally, the car suddenly became sluggish and then stopped moving. Sometimes, even when the car was in gear, the accelerator was pressed and the clutch was released, the engine rpm was still high but the car could not move. According to experts, this is the result of continuously pressing the clutch pedal, damaging the clutch/manual transmission.
Nowadays, many manual transmission drivers often apply force to the clutch pedal when the vehicle is moving. This habit will unintentionally apply force to the clutch pedal, causing the contact between the two clutch surfaces to be not tight. Over time, the clutch will wear out and no longer operate smoothly, causing the clutch to slip.

Many car owners have encountered similar situations. In many serious cases, a tow truck must be used to take the car to the dealer for repair. Usually, to replace the clutch plates, the driver must spend an amount ranging from 2 to 3 million VND depending on the type of car.
In fact, there have been many car owners of other brands who have encountered the above situations. This is also the main reason why your car becomes sluggish and no longer has the acceleration as before.
Therefore, when the car is moving, you should not use the clutch pedal too much as is the habit of many drivers. You should only press the clutch pedal when changing gears. After changing gears, you should take your foot off the clutch pedal.
In addition, when moving daily, drivers should combine the accelerator and clutch pedal smoothly, especially when climbing slopes, or on rough terrain. This will help prolong the life of this part of the vehicle.
