Will the Dual Clutch Burn the Clutch Plate When Climbing a Slope?

[LaAniyah]

Dual-clutch transmissions may experience burning of the clutch plates when climbing slopes. Below are specific manifestations of clutch plate damage: 1. Weak acceleration: When pressing the accelerator, the engine speed increases, but the vehicle speed does not rise accordingly. This is mainly due to clutch plate slippage, preventing the engine's power from being transmitted to the transmission. 2. Higher clutch pedal position: If the clutch plate is severely worn, the pedal will need to be lifted higher when releasing the clutch. Normally, the car would move forward with just a slight lift, but severe wear requires lifting it much higher. 3. Metal friction noise: If a metal friction sound is heard when pressing the clutch pedal, it is necessary to check the condition of the clutch plate. Such sounds typically indicate significant wear.
