What Does Clutch Overload Mean?
1 Answers
Clutch overload means the clutch plate is under excessive load, and the friction-generated heat is approaching the limit value. To prevent the clutch plate from overheating and burning out, the computer will issue a warning before reaching the limit. At this point, you should turn off the engine and park the car, resuming driving only after the warning disappears. Avoid parking the car on steep slopes for extended periods. Additional Information: Clutch Introduction: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission. Clutch Function: The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission systems, allowing the transmission system to be separated or engaged at any time. Its basic requirements include smooth engagement, quick and thorough separation, ease of adjustment and repair, compact size, lightweight, good wear resistance, sufficient heat dissipation capacity, and easy and effortless operation. Clutches are categorized into jaw-type and friction-type.
