Is it serious if the clutch plate is smoking?

[DeMatteo]

Normally, there should be no problem with daily driving. The clutch is different from the brakes. When the brakes fail, they need to be repaired in time, but smoking from the clutch is a normal phenomenon. However, prolonged half-clutch smoking (such as when towing another vehicle) will result in loss of power. Here is some relevant information about the clutch: 1. Concept: The clutch refers to the separation device between the car engine and the transmission, also known as the clutch. 2. Working principle: The driving part and the driven part of the clutch rely on the friction between the contact surfaces, or use liquid as the transmission medium (hydraulic coupling), or use magnetic transmission (electromagnetic clutch) to transmit torque, so that the two can be temporarily separated and gradually engaged. The engine's transmission device needs to transmit different speeds to the wheels at different vehicle speeds.
