How to distinguish the front and back of the Haval H6 clutch plate?
2 Answers
The method to distinguish the front and back of the Haval H6 clutch plate is: 1. The side with a protrusion is the front, and the side without a protrusion is the back; 2. The side with letter markings is the front, and the side without markings is the back. The dimensions of the Haval H6 are: length 4615 mm, width 1860 mm, height 1720 mm, with a wheelbase of 2680 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters. The Haval H6 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 210 Nm. It features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of double-wishbone independent suspension.
As a long-term owner of a Haval H6 who frequently does DIY car repairs, I'd like to share my experience regarding the orientation of clutch plates. Typically, a clutch plate has a friction side that feels rough to the touch, while the other side has mounting holes or spline holes and is smoother. On the Haval H6, the front side (friction surface) of the clutch plate should face the flywheel side, not the pressure plate, to ensure smooth clutch operation. During inspection, first check if there are small arrows or engravings on the clutch plate that say 'Front' or 'Flywheel Side' – if present, install accordingly. If there are no markings, examine the plate's surfaces – the rough side is the front and should face the engine flywheel. Installing it backward will accelerate wear, causing shaky starts or clutch slippage, and in severe cases, may lead to breakdowns. I recommend taking photos with your phone to record the original orientation during each replacement to avoid mistakes. If you're unsure, it's best not to attempt the repair yourself and seek help from a professional repair shop, as the Haval H6's clutch system is quite sophisticated, and incorrect installation could damage other components. Remember, safety first – wear gloves during DIY to prevent cuts.
