1. The engine must run idle.
2. Fully depress the clutch pedal, wait approximately three seconds, then engage reverse. If grinding sounds are heard at the same time, it means that the clutch disc does not rotate freely, that is, the clutch does not completely turn off.
3. In this case, check the functioning of the hydraulic transmission elements. It may be necessary to bleed air from the clutch actuator. Check the tightness of the clutch control parts.
Driving with faulty clutch control
If the clutch control fails en route, this does not necessarily mean the end of the trip. You can drive to the nearest destination or workshop without engaging the clutch. With gentle handling of the accelerator pedal and the gear lever, you can even shift gears.
Starting off. Engage 1st gear and engage the starter. The car pulls off and starts moving when the engine is started. If you do not want to change gears while driving, you can start off in 2nd gear on level ground.
Switching to a higher gear. In 1st gear, spin the engine only to a speed slightly higher than the idle speed (approximately 1000 rpm). Release the gas a little, pull the shift lever to neutral. If the transmission is sticking, give it a little more throttle. After that, release the accelerator pedal and move the lever slightly towards 2nd gear. At the appropriate engine and gearbox speeds, the gear shifts almost automatically.
If you've been waiting too long, give it a little throttle so it shifts into gear without the gears grinding.
If this fails, stop and do it all over again.
Switching to other gears is done in the same way. The easiest way to do this is at a low speed: 3rd gear - at 30 km / h, 4th - at 40 km / h, 5th gear - at 50 km / h.
Downshifting. Downshifting is easiest at low RPMs and slow speeds.
First, take your foot off the accelerator pedal and shift out of gear.
After that, carefully give gas to increase engine speed. At the same time, move the gearshift lever to a lower gear. At the appropriate engine speed, the gear is engaged almost without additional pressure.
