1. The engine should idle.
2. Fully depress the clutch pedal, wait about three seconds, then engage reverse. If you hear grinding sounds, the clutch disc is not rotating freely, i.e. the clutch is not fully disengaged.
3. In this case, check the operation of the hydraulic transmission elements. It may be necessary to remove air from the clutch drive. Check the tightness of the clutch control parts.
Driving with faulty clutch control
If the clutch control fails on the road, it does not necessarily mean the end of the trip. You can get to the nearest destination or workshop without using the clutch. If you handle the accelerator pedal and gearshift lever delicately, you can even change gears.
Starting off. Engage 1st gear and operate the starter. The car starts moving and starts moving when the engine starts. If you do not want to change gears while driving, then on level ground you can start off in 2nd gear.
Shifting to a higher gear. In 1st gear, rev the engine only to a speed slightly above idle speed (approximately 1000 rpm). Release the gas a little, pull the gearshift lever to neutral. If the gear sticks, add a little gas. Then release the accelerator pedal and move the lever slightly toward 2nd gear. At the appropriate engine and gearbox speeds, the gear shifts almost automatically.
If you've waited too long, give it a little gas to get the gear engaged without grinding gears.
If this doesn't work, stop and do it all over again.
Shifting to other gears is done in the same way. It is easiest to do this at low speeds: 3rd gear at 30 km/h, 4th gear at 40 km/h, 5th gear at 50 km/h.
Shifting to a lower gear. Shifting to a lower gear is easiest at low RPMs and low speeds.
First, remove your foot from the accelerator pedal and shift into gear.
After this, gently give the gas to increase the engine speed. At the same time, move the gearshift lever to the lower gear. At the appropriate engine speed, the gear engages almost without additional pressure.
