How Often Should the Automatic Transmission Clutch Be Replaced?

[DelPenelope]

Automatic clutch plates generally do not require replacement. With normal use and regular maintenance, the clutch plates of an automatic transmission theoretically do not need to be replaced throughout the vehicle's lifespan. Below is relevant information: 1. An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, automatic transmission vehicles have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Automatic transmission vehicles usually use hydraulic transmission devices to replace the mechanical clutch found in manual transmission vehicles, hence there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the vehicle forward. 3. When the gear lever is placed in the drive position and the brake pedal is released, as the throttle is applied and the engine speed increases, the transmitted torque grows, pushing the vehicle forward.
