What Are the Causes of Clutch Slippage?

[Corinne]

Reasons for clutch slippage: 1. The friction disc is burnt, hardened, contaminated with oil, or the driven plate friction disc is excessively worn. Repair or replace as necessary; 2. The diaphragm spring is fatigued, cracked, or failed. It should be replaced; 3. The movement of the release bearing and release sleeve is stuck and cannot return to position. Lubricate or replace as needed; 4. The pressure plate or flywheel is deformed or worn. Resurface or replace as necessary; 5. Improper adjustment of the clutch control mechanism, resulting in insufficient pedal free travel. Adjust accordingly. The clutch is located inside 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 is the input shaft of the transmission. Clutches are categorized into four types: electromagnetic clutches, magnetic particle clutches, friction clutches, and hydraulic clutches.
