What is the function of an automatic transmission clutch?
1 Answers
The functions of an automatic transmission clutch are: 1. To allow gradual engagement between the engine and transmission, ensuring smooth vehicle startup; 2. To temporarily disconnect the link between the engine and transmission for easier gear shifting and reduced shifting impact; 3. To serve as a disengagement mechanism during emergency braking, preventing overload in the transmission system and other drivetrain components, thereby providing protective effects. The three key operating principles for clutch operation are: quick initial release, slow mid-stage release, and coordinated final engagement. When lifting the clutch pedal, follow the "quick-slow-coordinated" operation sequence. During startup, depress the clutch pedal decisively in one swift motion to achieve complete clutch disengagement.
