Exclamation another clutch question...

So on the way to the gym battlefield parking lot, I get ready to tackle the first bump. Thanks to a member on here I deceided to hit it at about 5mph with clutch down all the way and no hitting the accleration pedal at all. It worked!! Other times I put it in N but that didnt really work to good in case it rolled back and I rode the clutch a lil but that probably wore the thing even though it was 2k rpms.

So this method pushing clutch all the way down as I go across the speed bumps and not hititng the accelrtion pedal won't hurt my clutch correct or wear it correct? If so...

you are correct, although having the clutch depressed does wear down your trowout bearing.

No one seems to care.

I just leave it in first and go over it slowly. I don't see any big issue with that.

Mine never bogs. I think it has to do with 2 reasons: 1) yellow doesn't bog; 2) I know how to drive. J/K, dude! The car will not bog if you keep your foot on the gas ever so lightly. I usually go over bumps at around 5mph, I think. I just leave it in 1st and go over the bumps naturally; no need to do extra stuff, like you. Btw, depressing the clutch too often can wear it out very quickly.

It was probably Mom trying to find you. I rarely ever go to Tacoma.
