What are the causes of clutch slippage?
1 Answers
The causes of clutch slippage are: 1. Insufficient spring pressure or broken springs in the clutch pressure plate, resulting in inadequate contact between the pressure plate and the clutch disc; 2. Inadequate release lever clearance or obstruction in the pedal, preventing the pressure plate and clutch disc from tightly engaging, or the release lever being adjusted too high; 3. The clutch release bearing pressing against the release lever, preventing the pressure springs from functioning fully, meaning there is no gap between the release lever and the clutch thrust bearing. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmissions, allowing the drivetrain to be engaged or disengaged as needed, typically categorized into jaw-type and friction-type clutches.
