Does a car with manual-automatic transmission still have a clutch pedal?
1 Answers
A car with manual-automatic transmission does not have a clutch pedal; only purely manual transmission cars come equipped with a clutch pedal. The manual-automatic transmission is a gearbox that combines the functions of manual and automatic transmissions. This technology was developed to enhance the fuel efficiency and controllability of automatic transmissions, allowing the driver to manually decide the shift timing instead of relying on computer automation, thereby improving driving operability and enriching the driver's experience. Clutch operation process: When the diaphragm spring is installed between the clutch cover and the pressure plate, it generates a pre-compression deformation that creates pressure on the pressure plate, causing the driving and driven parts of the clutch to press tightly together, meaning the clutch is engaged. The engine's power is transmitted through the flywheel, which is integrated with the crankshaft, the clutch cover, and the pressure plate to the driven plate, and then through the splined hub of the driven plate to the input shaft of the transmission. The working characteristic of this process is that the torque and rotational speed transmitted by the driving and driven parts of the clutch are the same, with no speed difference or slippage between them.
