When to Press and When Not to Press the Clutch?
1 Answers
The clutch should be pressed when starting, shifting gears, and braking at low speeds, and not pressed at other times. The functions of the clutch are: 1. To gradually increase the driving force of the car, allowing for a smooth start; 2. To temporarily separate the engine and the transmission for gear shifting; 3. To prevent overload of the transmission system; 4. To reduce torsional vibration impact from the engine and extend the service life of the transmission gears. The working principle of the clutch is: 1. When the inner race is fixed, the outer race rotates clockwise, and the wedge block does not lock, allowing the outer race to rotate freely; 2. When the outer race rotates counterclockwise, the wedge block locks, preventing the outer race from rotating.
