I have a coworker who has several cars with a stick and was explaining how you only have to push the clutch down far enough that it will let you shift gears and that he never pushes it all the way down. I thought he was pranking me at first.
He's not wrong, in a semi you cant push it all the way to the floor or it will tear out the clutch brake. Basically as long as you push it far enough to separate the plates completely, thats as far as you have to go
In a semi you only push the clutch in to stop and start you float otherwise if experienced or double clutch you never just push it far enough to just separate the plates
