What are the symptoms of a bad car clutch plate?
1 Answers
Car clutch plate symptoms include clutch slippage, sluggish acceleration, decreased power, starting slippage, or weak driving performance. The car clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission, with the clutch assembly secured by screws to the rear plane of the flywheel. The output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can depress or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby interrupting or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission. The driving and driven parts of the clutch utilize friction between contact surfaces or use liquid as a transmission medium (hydraulic coupling) to allow temporary separation and gradual engagement, permitting mutual rotation during power transmission.
