Moving off

Stalling or jerky clutch control

Usually Grade 1 — minor

Repeated stalls, kangaroo jumps or revving loudly show poor control of the clutch and accelerator, and are marked under vehicle controls.

✕ The fault

Clutch up too fast…

✓ The right way

Biting point found, handbrake off…

How to get it right

  1. 1Set a little gas (around 1,500 rpm).
  2. 2Bring the clutch up slowly to the biting point — the bonnet lifts slightly.
  3. 3Hold the clutch still, release the handbrake.
  4. 4Ease the clutch up further as you add gas.
