The ear will go much further before power is re quired, by adopting the former practice. Answer: The objection to holding out the clutch, while coasting, Js the liability of wearing out the clutch bearings, which are not intended for long continued fluty. This la especially true of the thrust-bearinwhich U to the ful clutch-sprin- g Subjected pressure and runs at a epeed equal to the difference between engine and drive-shaspeeds.

At it ia now, I cannot gel into seoond speed until the ear ha practically stopped moving end the result is that I generally have to let It stop entirely and finish aseendtng ths grad on low.
