you have to brake so fast that u forget to depress the clutch while you are braking?

tranny messed up?

downtown owned me

 

I've slammed on my brakes to avoid an accident without depressing the clutch pedal and it just killed the engine not the tranny. That's weird your's busted up. Maybe there's a nother reason?

 

there seems to be nothing wrong.... visually. do u mean ur engine stalled or something?

Similar to stalling in first on start up (engaging the clutch with out sufficient throttle)...

 

thank you good sir!

 

It doesn't hurt anything....your engine just stalls...safety first though, don't worry about your engine if you have to brake that quickly.

 

engine will stall, won't damage anything

This happened to me, in a higher gear (forget which) the engine didn't stall it just felt like it bounced off the rev limiter for a second before I caught it. Should be ok I think, although I wouldn't make a habit of it.

That's what I thought.

 

For some reason i have trained myself to pres the cluth when i have to slam the brakes. I usually hover my foot over the clutch. That is just me.....and I am weird

shouldn't have...if anything it should have just stalled the motor and it shut off.

when you let go of the brakes, it should automatically turn on if your still in gear.

 

nothing. your call stalling will be the result.

it's good that you reacted by stopping.

both feet in.

providing you have enough momentum

 

There is an important exception to the no damage thing. If you spin the car and don't put the clutch in you can fry stuff big time from suddenly reversing the direction of travel. So, "in a spin, both feet in."

Whatever, power through it!!!! More gas!

(I wouldn't really recommend that, but have done it in autocross to avoid flat-spotting.)
