Hello,
The other day I was driving down a mountain... it was downhill all the way for about 15Km, at a steep gradient. The thing is, at certain parts I ran my car on 2nd gear to make use of engine braking to slow me down, the engine revs were still high and speed was quite fast (because of the steep gradient). My question is, would the clutch still be slipping in this situation even though my foot is COMPLETELY off the clutch pedal? Is it possible that the slope was too steep so the gravity pull of the car is strong enough to accelerate it faster than the engine can rev w/o throttle and thus slip the clutch?
Just wondering...
Thanks.
