Is It Normal to Smell a Burning Odor from the Clutch Plate?
1 Answers
Smelling a burning odor from the clutch plate is not normal. The burnt smell from the clutch plate is usually caused by the driver holding the clutch in a semi-engaged state for too long, meaning the clutch is pressed for extended periods, leading to overheating and damage. Below are the functions of the clutch: 1. Increase driving force: Gradually enhances the car's driving force, ensuring a smooth start. 2. Separate the engine and transmission: Temporarily disconnects the engine and transmission for gear shifting. 3. Ensure proper operation of the drivetrain: Prevents drivetrain overload and ensures normal operation. 4. Extend the lifespan of transmission gears: Reduces torsional vibration shocks from the engine, prolonging the life of transmission gears.
