What Are the Signs of a Bad Clutch Plate?
1 Answers
The signs of a bad clutch plate are as follows: 1. The clutch pedal feels higher: When starting the vehicle, pressing the clutch pedal gives a noticeable sluggishness, which is likely caused by the clutch plate becoming thinner. 2. Reduced vehicle power: With no abnormalities in the engine, the car lacks sufficient power whether starting or climbing hills. Even with high engine RPM, the car still feels underpowered, indicating clutch slippage. 3. A metallic grinding noise is heard when pressing or releasing the clutch pedal, which is likely due to severe wear of the clutch plate.
