How Often Should Car Clutch Plates Be Replaced?

[VonPaisley]

Car clutch plates typically need to be replaced every 100,000 kilometers. However, since driving habits vary among drivers, some vehicles may require replacement as early as 50,000 kilometers due to severe wear, while others may still have well-functioning clutch plates at 150,000 kilometers. Therefore, the replacement of clutch plates primarily depends on their wear condition. Clutch plates are composite materials designed primarily for friction functionality while also meeting structural performance requirements. Automotive friction materials are mainly used in the production of brake friction pads and clutch plates. These friction materials traditionally use asbestos-based compositions, but with increasing environmental and safety standards, semi-metallic friction materials, composite fiber friction materials, and ceramic fiber friction materials have gradually emerged.
