Where is the clutch pressure plate located?
1 Answers
Clutch pressure plate is located inside the engine's flywheel and needs to rotate synchronously with the engine. The clutch pressure plate is a crucial component of the clutch system, playing a vital role in vehicle driving safety. It is equipped with friction linings, similar to brake pads on wheels, which are made of highly wear-resistant asbestos and copper wire. The friction linings on the pressure plate have a specified minimum allowable thickness. After prolonged driving mileage, these friction linings need replacement. Originally, replacing friction linings could be done by purchasing spare parts and performing the replacement yourself. Nowadays, it's common to buy pre-assembled pressure plate sub-assemblies with friction linings already installed, eliminating the need to replace individual friction linings – you can simply replace the entire clutch pressure plate.
