Should the Clutch Be Depressed When Starting the Engine?
1 Answers
Starting the engine requires depressing the clutch. Failing to do so prevents timely disengagement of power transmission, reducing the load pressure on both the starter and the engine. Consequently, these two components remain in a state of excessive output, which over time can adversely affect their service life. Below is an introduction to the automotive clutch: 1. Clutch: The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Classification: Clutches are categorized into four types: electromagnetic clutches, magnetic particle clutches, friction clutches, and hydraulic clutches.
