When Does the Clutch Need to Be Replaced?
1 Answers
The replacement time for the clutch is not strictly defined and depends on the driving conditions of each vehicle. The following details the service life of the clutch: 1. According to the 'Technical Specifications for Automotive Dry Friction Clutch Assembly QCT25-2004', the clutch, as an important component of the transmission system, can last as long as the vehicle under normal usage. 2. After undergoing 1 million separation endurance tests, the main performance parameters of the clutch assembly still remain at 70% to 90% of the original, indicating that the clutch is highly durable. 3. Experimental statistics show that in urban areas in China, the clutch is pressed approximately 9 times per kilometer, while in suburban areas, it is pressed about 3 times per kilometer. If the driving is evenly split between these two conditions, averaging 6 clutch presses per kilometer, the main components of the clutch still perform well even after 160,000 kilometers.
