Does the Clutch Plate Need to Be Replaced After Burning Smell Once?
1 Answers
The clutch plate does not need to be replaced after burning smell once, as it is a normal phenomenon. High RPM or prolonged operation in a semi-clutch state can cause the clutch plate to burn and emit a foul odor. Below are specific details about clutch plate break-in: 1. Vehicle Speed: For speed, it is sufficient not to exceed two-thirds of the maximum speed. The engine RPM should not exceed 3000-3500 (different automakers have varying requirements for engine RPM). Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden braking. When driving downhill for long distances, pay attention to controlling the speed and do not suddenly use engine resistance to decelerate. For manual transmission models, make gear predictions in advance and avoid shifting at inappropriate speeds. 2. Regular Inspection: During long-term use, due to normal wear of the clutch plate, the free travel of the clutch pedal will gradually increase, so regular inspection and adjustment are necessary. Otherwise, incomplete clutch disengagement may occur, leading to abnormal shifting noises, burning of the clutch plate, and other phenomena.
