When to Use the Car Clutch?
1 Answers
Car clutch is used in the following situations: When the vehicle starts, the wheels are stationary. To change the vehicle from a stationary state to a moving state, a greater thrust is required compared to when the vehicle is already in motion. At this point, the clutch is engaged. The relevant functions of the clutch are introduced as follows: 1. Starting Function: During the entire process from starting to normal driving, the driver can operate the clutch as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the transmission system, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power output from the engine to the transmission system. Its role is to allow gradual engagement between the engine and the transmission, ensuring smooth vehicle starting, and temporarily disconnecting the connection between the engine and the transmission to facilitate gear shifting and reduce impact during shifting. 2. Protective Function: It can disengage during emergency braking to prevent overload in the transmission system, such as the gearbox, thus providing a certain protective effect.
