What are the symptoms of severely worn clutch plates?

[VanSamantha]

Severely worn clutch plates may exhibit symptoms such as clutch judder, slipping, abnormal noises, and incomplete disengagement. Here is relevant information: 1. Clutch judder: When starting the vehicle, even with careful gradual acceleration and slow release of the clutch pedal, the vehicle fails to start smoothly and exhibits jerking. This occurs because the clutch engagement is shaky and unstable, leading to an unsteady start. 2. Causes: Improper adjustment or deformation of the release levers results in uneven contact between the three release levers and the release bearing. The damping springs of the clutch driven plate are too weak or broken, failing to provide adequate damping. Worn or insufficiently lubricated release bearing seats cause stiff movement.
