Ford zetec S - Car juddering creak noise will it ruin car/transmi - JamieM9021

If car judders if it was about to stall by making a creak noise will it ruin the clutch,transmission,gearbox in this situation?

I drive a manual car and my car is parked in a incline road so when I stick it in reverse and I would usually apply minimal throttle to make the car move because I don't like to rev the car while my foot is still on the clutch as I heard it isn't good for the clutch but sometimes I don't apply enough throttle then the car will judder or make a creak noise as if the car is about to stall.

I have done it quite regularly or dozen of times since my brother passed his test and he parks quite squint plus on the other side to avoid pavement kerb so I can't do anything but to perform low speed manoeuvre.

I am concerned if this can damage the clutch/transmission or car mechanical components. I'm sorry for asking many questions but I want to maintain the car of its life.

I swear I already explained to someone on here that they need to give it a bit more throttle when pulling away or take it in to check it's not down a cylinder.,..

Jamie, may I suggest you part ex your 'sportscar' Fiesta Zetec S for an automatic gearboxed vehicle that'll be more suited to your needs !

No worries about riding the clutch when manoeuvring, no danger of destroying the suspension or wheels on the massive pothole you kindly Google street view linked to in your other post.

You may need to take extra care when parking it though, but that could be the topic of a future, inane and pointless post from you !

What is this miracle vehicle I hear you cry ? Why, it's one of these :
