What is the lifespan of a dry dual clutch disc?
1 Answers
Lifespan largely depends on the driver's usage habits and road conditions, such as traffic congestion levels. There is no precise answer, but generally, it requires mandatory replacement at around 100,000 kilometers. When the clutch disc fails, the following symptoms may occur: 1. The clutch disc may burn out, emitting an unusual burnt odor that is very unpleasant. Even with windows closed, the smell can be detected inside the car; 2. There will be a noticeable decline in power performance, especially when climbing hills. The engine RPM increases, but the car does not accelerate; 3. It can lead to increased fuel consumption and reduced power. In severe cases, the clutch disc must be replaced. You can perform a self-check by starting the car, engaging the handbrake, shifting into second gear, and slowly releasing the clutch without pressing the accelerator. Observe whether the engine stalls to determine if the clutch is slipping. If the engine stalls, the clutch is still functional.
