What are the causes of a burnt clutch?
1 Answers
The causes of a burnt clutch are: 1. Improper operation by the driver, such as riding the clutch in a semi-engaged state, which causes continuous friction between the clutch disc, pressure plate, and flywheel, generating high temperatures that can burn the clutch disc; 2. When the driver abruptly releases the clutch pedal during operation, the clutch disc and pressure plate suddenly engage, creating a large amount of instant friction that cannot be effectively alleviated, which can easily lead to the clutch disc breaking down or damaging the surface of the pressure plate. The functions of the clutch are: 1. To gradually increase the driving force of the car, allowing for a smooth start; 2. To temporarily separate the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. To prevent overload in the transmission system; 4. To reduce torsional vibration shocks from the engine and extend the lifespan of the transmission gears.
