What is the Clutch Driven Disc Mounted On?
2 Answers
Clutch driven disc is mounted between the engine flywheel and the transmission. Here is an introduction about the clutch: 1. Introduction: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Function: During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. 3. Characteristics: The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission, which can separate or engage the transmission system at any time. Its basic requirements include smooth engagement, quick and thorough separation; easy adjustment and repair; small external dimensions; light weight; good wear resistance and sufficient heat dissipation capacity; easy and labor-saving operation. Commonly, it is divided into two types: jaw clutch and friction clutch.
The clutch driven plate is installed on the transmission's input shaft. Having driven manual cars for many years, I've commonly seen it secured to the shaft via spline grooves, with the other end pressed against the clutch pressure plate and flywheel, ensuring stable friction during engine power transmission. If the installation is misaligned or the shaft is worn, the car may shake during acceleration and experience gearshift hesitation. During my last maintenance, I also noticed abnormal noises, and the mechanic advised me to clean the input shaft and check the spline alignment. The clutch operation relies on it to disengage power—stepping on the pedal separates the driven plate. Daily driving should avoid prolonged half-clutch conditions to extend its lifespan. Regular inspection of this component can prevent major repairs, as while the plate itself isn't expensive, improper installation can lead to significant issues.
