What are the causes of burning clutch plates?

[AlessandraMarie]

Reasons for burning clutch plates: 1. Improper operation of the clutch by the driver in a semi-engaged state can cause continuous friction between the clutch plate, pressure plate, and flywheel, generating high temperatures that burn the clutch plate; 2. When the driver suddenly releases the clutch pedal during operation, the clutch plate and pressure plate will engage abruptly, producing a large amount of friction instantly that cannot be effectively alleviated, which can easily cause the clutch plate to break down and damage the surface of the pressure plate; 3. The clutch plate has been used for too long or has exceeded the recommended mileage, leading to natural aging and wear; 4. The material of the clutch plate is substandard, causing premature damage; 5. Overloading the clutch can cause abnormal wear of the clutch plate, pressure plate, flywheel, and other components, generating high temperatures that burn the clutch plate.
