Clutch
How would you describe the action of pressing down the clutch? to clutch in, to let in/push in/release/engage the clutch? And when one stops pressing the clutch, they...
declutch or let out the clutch?
It's just that I'm learning such vocabulary now and every dictionary offers their own solution (in my biggest PolishEN dictionary, there are different terms in either of the two bilingual parts). I assume all of them are correct but wonder what you would really say.

When you "depress the clutch (pedal)" with your left foot, you are "disengaging the clutch". When you "release the clutch (pedal)", you are "engaging the clutch".
