What is the RPM for semi-engaged clutch?
1 Answers
When the clutch is semi-engaged, the RPM is generally at idle speed, typically around 800~1000 rpm. If the accelerator is not pressed, the RPM remains at this level, but it will increase if the accelerator is pressed. The semi-engaged clutch refers to an unstable working state of the clutch coupling, where the pressure on the clutch pressure plate gradually decreases as the driver depresses the clutch pedal, causing the driving plate and driven plate to slip while rotating. In manual transmission vehicles, many operations require the use of semi-engaged clutch, but prolonged use can lead to clutch wear. During driving tests, the semi-engaged clutch is required for certain maneuvers in the field test, but it is prohibited in the road test. The semi-engaged clutch is generally used when starting in first gear or driving slowly in second gear. The normal shifting rhythm involves shifting to the next gear when the speed is between 1500-2000 RPM. The semi-engaged clutch refers to an unstable working state of the clutch coupling, where the pressure on the clutch pressure plate gradually decreases as the driver depresses the clutch pedal, causing the driving plate and driven plate to slip while rotating. During the field driving test, drivers who are not yet proficient may fail to complete the required actions within the allotted time. To extend the operation time, they often use the semi-engaged clutch to reduce speed, but this technique is not permitted under the rules of the road test.
