USE OF CLUTCH
Moat clutch trouble develops as a result of using this unit of the car to compensate for shortcomings in tho engine. Many car-owners overlook this when taking it for granted that the clutch merely reflects their own inespeTienec as drivers. -. When the engine does not pick up as it should, thero is a natural inclination to slip tho clutch in order to help tho power plant. Because the engine idling is too fast, the driver is tempted to case the start by partly engaging the clutch. All this paves the way for clutch trouble, including grabbing, "chattering," and slipping. Most of it can
bo avoided by paying more attention to the engine, keeping it in bettor condition, and adjusting tho tbrottlo so that the idling speed is correct for smooth starting and easy gear-shifling.
