What is Clutch Sticking?
1 Answers
Clutch sticking may occur when the flywheel and clutch pressure plate or clutch disc get wet after the vehicle drives through water, leading to rust formation between them. If left unused for an extended period, the clutch may stick. In such cases, you can engage a gear, depress the clutch, and start the vehicle. The strong torque difference can help break the stuck clutch. Then, using the clutch partially (half-clutch) for a while can restore normal operation. Here is more information about the clutch: 1. Location: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is bolted to the rear plane of the flywheel, and the output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Function: It ensures smooth vehicle starting, enables seamless gear shifting, and prevents overload in the drivetrain. 3. Working Principle: It is responsible for disconnecting and connecting the power between the engine and the drivetrain.
