Can the car still be driven after the clutch burns and smells once or twice?

As long as the clutch plate does not show signs of slipping, the car can still be used normally. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Some manual transmission cars may emit a burnt smell from the clutch plate after prolonged high-speed driving, which is actually a normal phenomenon. The clutch is part of the car's transmission system, and its function is to connect or disconnect the engine from the gearbox. 2. The clutch is installed between the engine and the gearbox, and the clutch pressure plate is fixed to the engine flywheel. Between the pressure plate and the flywheel is the clutch plate, which has a spline in the middle that can secure a drive shaft, which is the power input shaft of the gearbox. 3. The clutch plate is a wear-and-tear component that needs to be replaced periodically. As the car's mileage increases, the clutch plate will also wear out. When the clutch plate wears to a certain extent, it needs to be replaced. If not replaced, the clutch plate may start slipping. If the clutch plate slips, the engine's power cannot be fully transmitted to the gearbox, leading to insufficient power in the car. To replace the clutch plate, the connection between the gearbox and the engine must be disassembled, and the entire gearbox must be lifted off the car, as this is the only way to replace the clutch plate. Maintaining proper driving habits can effectively extend the service life of the clutch plate.
