What are the symptoms of a bad clutch pressure plate?

[AaliyahDella]

The symptoms of a bad clutch pressure plate are: 1. Inability to shift gears when depressing the clutch; 2. Poor starting power. The cause of clutch pressure plate damage is long-term wear leading to the clutch disc not being able to tightly engage. Precautions for clutch installation include: 1. Clean the clutch thoroughly before installation, removing anti-rust grease and debris; 2. Ensure no axial movement between the driving and driven parts, with axial alignment not exceeding 0.1mm; 3. Apply lubricating oil between friction discs; 4. Maintain proper clearance between end teeth to prevent grinding during idle; 5. The clutch and brake are Class B insulation, with normal temperature rise of 40°C and maximum working temperature not exceeding 100°C under thermal equilibrium conditions.
