Can the car still be driven if the clutch is burnt out?

[VonIsaac]

If the clutch is burnt out, the car cannot be driven. Think of the clutch disc as a brake pad and the flywheel as a brake disc. When the clutch disc is severely worn, the flywheel will also be damaged. If not addressed promptly, the car will not be able to operate normally. The clutch is located in the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, with the clutch assembly fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel by screws. The output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. Reasons for clutch disc burnout include: 1. Improper operation by the driver, such as semi-engaging the clutch, which causes continuous friction between the clutch disc and the pressure plate flywheel, generating high temperatures; 2. When the driver abruptly releases the clutch pedal, the clutch disc and pressure plate suddenly engage, easily causing the clutch disc to break down and wear the pressure plate surface; 3. The clutch disc has been used for too long or has exceeded the mileage limit, leading to natural aging and wear; 4. The clutch disc material is substandard, resulting in premature damage.
