Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Clutch

Video tutorial

In this video, we can see the result of a rather common bad habit, which is keeping your foot on the clutch when stopped at traffic lights or in traffic. We see the clutch of an Audi Q3, but anyone can end up keeping their foot on the clutch, and what happens is this: during the first few meters, the car jerks because the clutch springs have jumped, which are meant to prevent jerks to the clutch.

Of course, this is a sophisticated car with mechanical elements, but the result is the same in the end: you have to replace the clutch kit and flywheel, just because of a bad habit.
