What Causes Transmission Clutch Plate Burning?
1 Answers
Transmission friction plate burning may be caused by clutch or brake slippage. Improper driver operation: Incorrect semi-engaged clutch operation can cause continuous friction between the clutch plate, pressure plate, and flywheel, generating excessive heat that easily burns the clutch plate. When abruptly releasing the clutch pedal during driving, the sudden engagement between the clutch plate and pressure plate creates intense instantaneous friction that cannot be effectively dissipated, leading to clutch plate disintegration and pressure plate surface damage. Clutch plate issues: Natural aging and wear from prolonged use or excessive mileage. Substandard clutch plate materials causing premature failure.
