What are the symptoms of a bad clutch pressure plate?
1 Answers
The symptoms of a bad clutch pressure plate are: 1. The car does not move; 2. Slipping occurs, resulting in insufficient power; 3. The clutch contact point becomes increasingly higher; 4. There is a shaking phenomenon when starting in gear; 5. Poor climbing performance and reduced braking performance. The clutch pressure plate is a power transmission component that connects the engine and the transmission, serving to cut off engine power and engage the connection. The working principle of the clutch pressure plate is: 1. When the vehicle starts, the driver presses the clutch, and the pressure plate separates from the friction disc, at which point the pressure plate does not contact the flywheel at all; 2. When the vehicle is driving normally, the pressure plate is tightly pressed against the friction disc of the flywheel, at which point the friction between the pressure plate and the friction disc is high, maintaining relative static friction between the input shaft and the output shaft, and the two rotate at the same speed; 3. When the clutch is partially pressed, the friction between the pressure plate and the friction disc is small, and the clutch pressure plate and the friction disc on the flywheel are in a state of sliding friction, with the flywheel rotating faster than the output shaft, and part of the power transmitted from the flywheel is passed to the transmission.
