I noticed it when the Cubs won Game 7 of the World Series <| sep |> Why should I sponsor somebody else ' s unproductive life ? What ' s in it for me ? <| sep |> I was married to a Mexican woman . If my family had done that , I would have told them off and never visited them again . <| sep |> Well then what ' s he doing with his nose ? <| sep |> Okay first you must understand a little bit about how the clutch works . Basically it is a mechanical part that transfers or cuts the power from the engine to the wheels . It consists of two discs one of which spins with the engine on its own when the clutch pedal is down and as the clutch is lifted and the engine tone sounds lower the two discs come together smoothly which in turn transfers the power to the wheels . The biting point which the other users mention here is the sweet spot where the two plates meet and your aim as a driver is to transfer the power as smoothly as possible . This is done by gently easing the clutch up through the biting point . For starters , depress the clutch and get into gear one . Then , slooowly slowly move your leg up until you notice a subtle change in pressure wearing boat shoes with thin soles might help you feel the pedal more and hold it there . Also , the RPM will drop slightly if you are at biting point . If you have your right foot on the brake , the car will sort of pull forward . Let go of the brake and slowly depress your accelerator until the RPM goes up to 1 . 5 . Don ' t worry about stalling because it ' s all about getting used to the different biting points of each car . Besides , the entire car will vibrate quite strongly if there isn ' t enough power or if you are beyond the biting point so that ' s something to watch out for .
