Compressor surge Rotating stall can morph into the extreme case of a compressor performance failure called surge. In the words of compressor expert Ivor Day, stall is a disturbance of compressor flow in the tangential direction, while surge is a disturbance in the axial direction.

A stall is the slowing or stopping of a process and in the case of an engine refers to a sudden stopping of the engine turning, usually brought about accidentally. It is commonly applied to the phenomenon whereby an engine abruptly ceases operating and stops turning.

Ordinarily, working transmissions keep your ride smooth amid gear shifts. In manual transmissions, car jerks when shifting gears or car jerks when releasing clutch could demonstrate worn out gears, broken gear cables, or other, more serious issues.

Manual cars stall when taking off because the drivers releases the clutch too fast (dumping the clutch) and the engine cannot meet the demand and stalls. Stalling the engine in a manual car is NOT bad for the vehicle, so long as it’s not done 8 or 10 times every day.

How To Stop Stalling Your Car

1. Press the clutch fully to the floor with your left foot.
2. Go into first gear.
3. Slowly press the accelerator with your right foot until the engine starts to rev.
4. Slowly lift the clutch until you reach the biting point – the revs will lower and your car will try to move forward.

While braking, you should always depress the clutch. Always depress the clutch when braking, a tip majorly for the new learners. So, it is always advised to depress the clutch when braking, at least to begin driving with.

It may take some time for you to properly control the engine without stalling it, just practice at an empty country road. Slowly engage the clutch up to the speed you want to reverse at. If that’s faster than walking speed, you can completely engage the clutch and manage your speed with the accelerator.

Release the clutch enough to get the car rolling and then immediately re-engage it. There is no need to take your foot off the clutch when reversing. You’re not going anywhere in a hurry, so let the momentum of the vehicle do most of the work of propelling the car backwards.

Shift into first gear and play with the cluch and the gas, resulting in a much smoother ride. Also known as riding the clutch. Stay in first gear the whole time, and push the clutch pedal all the way in when stopped, and let it out gradually when moving, but never completely out.

Technical: Coasting with the clutch down does no or insignificant damage (little wear & tear of the throwout bearings), unless you are NOT pressing it all the way down. Riding the clutch can cause significant amount of damage to the clutch plates.

It’s called “riding the clutch.” Resting your foot on the pedal also means your clutch may not be fully engaged. That can cause major slippage with your clutch disc (also wearing down your clutch). The Bottom Line: Resting your foot on the clutch is a bad habit to get into, so try and avoid it as much as possible.

Holding the clutch down or staying in neutral for too long will cause your vehicle to freewheel. This is known as ‘coasting’ and it’s dangerous because it reduces your control of the vehicle.

Leave your car in gear at a red light Admit it – if you’re stopped at traffic lights, do you wait with the clutch down, first gear engaged and your foot on the brake? It’s much better to put your car in neutral and apply the handbrake to keep it stationary.

In automatic transmission systems, the neutral gear separates the engine from the wheels. The pedal won’t route power to the wheels, but you’ll still be able to turn their direction with the steering wheel.

Neutral is the same as knocking a manual gearbox out of gear. It shouldn’t be selected when moving – this is known as coasting – but can be used (along with the handbrake) if you’re stopped for a short period of time. Drive will select gears automatically and allow the car to move forwards.

If you have a manual transmission, you SHOULD always put the car in neutral and leave your foot OFF the clutch when stopped at a light. Those with manual transmissions should also remember to apply the parking brake before going for pizza.

Never put your vehicle in neutral at traffic lights Shifting to neutral at the traffic light to save fuel is pure folly. In any case, stop lights only last a few minutes thus any savings on fuel would be quite negligible. You will be shifting gears every time to meet a stop light, subjecting them to unnecessary wear.
