What are the symptoms of a burnt clutch plate in a car?
1 Answers
A burnt clutch in a car can cause symptoms such as sluggish acceleration, reduced power, and slipping during startup. Below are some related details about a burnt clutch: 1. The clutch needs to be lifted higher than before: Normally, the car moves as soon as the clutch is slightly lifted after shifting gears. Now, the car only moves after lifting the clutch by two centimeters, indicating that the clutch plate has worn thin and requires a higher lift to engage. 2. Sluggish acceleration: This is most noticeable during high-speed overtaking. When you press the accelerator hard to overtake, the response is delayed, and it feels like the engine is revving without the car accelerating. For instance, the car used to reach 80km/h at 1800 RPM, but now it requires 2000 RPM. This situation indicates clutch slippage.
