The clutch is an important object in the car, but although many people often use the clutch, few people know what the clutch does. Let's talk about what the clutch does and how to maintain it.
what is the clutch
The clutch mainly has three functions:
1. Ensure that the car starts smoothly, and there is no doubt that the engine is started before the car starts. When the car starts, it will suddenly accelerate in a static state. If the transmission system is rigidly connected to the engine, there is no way to start it normally. This is because the car has a lot of inertia from stationary to forward, and the engine produces a large amount of energy. torque resistance.
2. To ensure that the car can shift smoothly, and to pay for the clutch plate, it must be seen from the overall situation. Some people are reversing the car, and the maneuvering skills are not good. If they do not use semi-linkage, they are easy to bump into. The painting and sheet metal are more expensive. An approximate example is to play the direction in situ. I generally recommend that beginners know which point to switch directions to.
3. To prevent transmission overload. When the clutch is placed to a certain extent, the car will vibrate. At this time, the car needs to be fueled to start. The car will not slide in the semi-linked state, especially when starting on a half slope. The clutch is used to increase or decrease gears. Putting your foot on the clutch will shorten the life of the clutch.
How to maintain the clutch?
The most important thing in maintaining the clutch is to pay attention not to put your foot on the clutch pedal in daily use, and pay attention to one fast, two stops, and three slow when lifting the clutch. As for other maintenance methods, such as when you see the friction plates and pressure plates in the clutch When oil or rust is on it, it should be disassembled to remove oil or grease.
