The clutch is one of the most demanded the components of a vehicle. However, few know how a clutch, which consists of or what problems can occur when it fails. In the following material we will talk about clutch and the components thereof, as used properly, it must be changed and how to fix certain problems that may arise from the operation of these components. We’ll learn how to protect it and thus save money.

The clutch is a system that uses friction to transmit energy from side to side. It can be considered a consumable because at some point, it must be changed due to wear and tear undergone by every day. It is composed of a revolving disc and pressure plate (the consumable, which usually change after a long period of use), housing, engaging fork and of course several screws.

The clutch we meet everywhere, even in cars with automatic gearbox but several forms. For example, it can be seen in the form of friction wheels that move by means of a hydraulic fluid. They are inside the gearbox. Clutch role is to make the connection between shaft and shaft driven by motor driven gearbox, so they have the same speed. When the pedal is free, and the clutch is engaged when the clutch pedal is depressed and then unplug the motor shaft and gearbox will have different speeds.

After a certain period, each of us can have problems with the clutch. The most common problem is the clutch slipping. This problem occurs when those who stand with their foot on the clutch throughout the drive. Will see an increase in engine speed even when the vehicle is stationary. Another problem would be the bearing pressure. It makes a noise wished clutch pedal is depressed. Our advice is to go to a service station. Often clutch energizes very difficult to reach and remove a metallic sound. So, must depress the clutch to bottom.

A new clutch can last you about 100 000 km. To extend the life of the clutch is good when you release the pedal clutch to do it easily without her sudden but carefully not to do any very, very slow because such friction material will heat very much and will affect the disc springs. It is important to not keep your foot on the clutch while driving and not to force him especially in hill climbing. Departure from the location will always first rate because the higher speed clutch will suffer being overworked.

In conclusion, progressive clutch transmits the rotation from the engine to the gearbox, protects the transmission engages or disengages the motor overload and transmission in order to change speeds and allows us to be able stationary with the engine running.
