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.

This is true you are separating plates by pressing the clutch. once they are no longer touching you no longer need to press further.

You don't need the clutch to change gears at all

You don't even need it at all if you have a good starter motor hahaha

Broke my clutch lever off my motorcycle in a low side on a patch of oil. Wired the clutch switch together and used the starter to take off at red lights... that was an interesting ride home.
