What are the symptoms of a bad car clutch plate?
1 Answers
Symptoms of a bad car clutch plate include: 1. The clutch pedal engages higher than usual. Normally, the car starts moving when the pedal is released about 1 cm, but with a damaged clutch plate, you may need to release it up to 2 cm. This is caused by the thinning of the clutch plate; 2. Reduced vehicle power. Even when the engine is functioning normally, you may feel a lack of power during acceleration or climbing hills, with high engine RPM but insufficient power, indicating clutch slippage; 3. A metallic grinding noise when pressing or releasing the clutch pedal, which is a sign of severe clutch plate wear; 4. Uneven engagement when releasing the clutch during startup, accompanied by jerking movements of the car, indicating the need for clutch plate replacement.
