Action of clutch disc.
Clutch plate is a kind of composite material with friction as the main function and structural performance requirements, which is mainly used in automobile brake system and transmission system parts. Its main role includes ensuring a smooth start and smooth shifting of the car. The clutch plate temporarily separates and gradually engages the engine from the gearbox by the driver pressing or releasing the clutch pedal, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power input from the engine to the transmission. This operation not only allows the car to start smoothly without running off, but also reduces the frustration during the shift process and ensures the smoothness of the shift.
The frequency of replacement of the clutch disc depends on a variety of factors, including driving habits, driving road conditions and the frequency of use of the vehicle. In general, the degree of wear of the clutch disc will be aggravated with the increase of use time, so it is necessary to check regularly and decide whether to replace it according to the wear situation. It is recommended that owners carry out regular inspections and maintenance according to the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer or the guidance in the vehicle maintenance manual to ensure driving safety. How often should the clutch disc be changed
50,000 to 100,000 kilometers
The replacement cycle of the clutch disc is usually between 50,000 and 100,000 kilometers, depending on a variety of factors, including driving habits, vehicle use frequency and road conditions. If the driving habit is good and the vehicle is properly maintained, the replacement cycle of the clutch disc may reach 100,000 kilometers or even longer. However, if you have poor driving habits or often drive in complex road conditions, the clutch disc may need to be replaced more frequently. For example, aggressive driving style or frequent use of the clutch may result in the need for replacement of the clutch disc within a distance of 50,000 km or less.
Signs of clutch plate damage include starting skidding, slow acceleration, rising engine speed but slow speed improvement, and even a burning odor. If these symptoms occur, the clutch disc should be replaced even if the predetermined replacement period has not been reached.
About the cost of replacing the clutch disc, if the cost is calculated alone, it needs about seven or eight hundred dollars, plus labor costs, and finally it needs thousands of dollars. Therefore, understanding the replacement cycle and signs of the clutch disc helps the owner to rationally arrange the maintenance plan and avoid higher maintenance costs caused by not timely replacement.
01 Clutch becomes higher
The high clutch is an obvious manifestation of the serious wear of the clutch plate. When the clutch is subjected to excessive wear, it needs to be raised a certain distance to achieve clutch engagement. For example, once the clutch is pressed to the bottom, the car can be lifted by one centimeter, but now it needs to be lifted by two centimeters. In addition, when you step on the clutch, you will hear a serious friction sound. These phenomena indicate that the clutch plate has been worn relatively thin, and a higher lifting distance is required to achieve engagement.
02 The car is weak on the hill
The inability of the car to go uphill is the obvious manifestation of serious wear of the clutch plate. When the clutch wear is serious, when the accelerator is pressed to refuel, the engine speed will rise, but the speed can not be improved accordingly. This is because the clutch plate slides, resulting in the engine's power cannot be effectively transferred to the gearbox. In addition, if the car clearly feels underpowered when starting and climbing, even if the engine is not problematic, this may be a signal of clutch disc wear. When overtaking, the car's slow response is also a warning sign.
03
Metal friction
Metal friction sound is an obvious manifestation of serious wear of clutch plate. When the clutch pedal is pressed down, if there is the sound of metal friction, it usually means that the clutch has been worn to a certain extent. This sound is caused by increased friction between the clutch plate and the flywheel, usually because the clutch plate is heavily worn, resulting in reduced contact area or uneven surface. When hearing this sound, the clutch should be checked and replaced in time to avoid further damage to other parts of the vehicle.
04 Burnt smell
The burning taste is an obvious manifestation of serious wear of the clutch plate. When the clutch wear to a certain extent, the car in the process of driving, the driver may smell a burning smell. This burning smell is usually caused by the friction of the clutch plate overheating or slipping, which may mean that the clutch plate needs to be replaced or repaired to avoid further damage to the vehicle.
