What Are the Hazards of Lugging the Engine in a Car?

[OTyler]

The hazards of lugging the engine in a car: 1. Severe wear on the clutch disc, which can lead to overheating over time, making gear shifting noticeably difficult; 2. Significant damage to the transmission, especially when hauling heavy loads, frequent lugging can cause transmission failure; 3. Severe wear on the engine, as constant operation under load drastically reduces piston lifespan; 4. Heavy wear on the rear differential, where mismatched speed ratios can lead to rapid gear wear and failure; 5. Severe damage to the driveshaft, as improper speed ratios can cause bearing failure inside the driveshaft; 6. Significant wear on the axle shafts, leading to potential breakage over time, also related to speed ratio issues.
