What are the symptoms of clutch slippage in an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission car clutch slippage manifests as: 1. When starting the car, releasing the clutch pedal results in insufficient starting power or difficulty in starting; 2. While driving, the vehicle speed does not increase correspondingly with the engine speed, leading to insufficient driving power; 3. In severe cases, a burning smell may emanate from the clutch. The functions of the clutch are: 1. Gradually increasing the driving force of the car to ensure a smooth start; 2. Temporarily separating the engine and transmission for gear shifting; 3. Preventing overload in the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration shocks from the engine to prolong the lifespan of transmission gears. The working principle of the clutch is: 1. When the inner race is fixed, the outer race can rotate freely in the clockwise direction without locking the wedge block; 2. When the outer race rotates counterclockwise, the wedge block locks, preventing the outer race from rotating.
