How Often Should a Car Clutch Be Replaced?

[GiaMarie]

Car clutch plates should generally be replaced every approximately 80,000 kilometers or every four years. Here is an introduction to the clutch: Function of the Clutch: The clutch acts like a switch, engaging or disengaging the power transmission. The clutch mechanism allows the driving part and the driven part to temporarily separate and gradually engage, while also permitting relative rotation during the transmission process. There must be no rigid connection between the driving and driven parts of the clutch. All types of vehicles have a clutch device, though the forms may vary. Types of Clutches: Clutches can be categorized into four types: electromagnetic clutches, magnetic particle clutches, friction clutches, and hydraulic clutches.
