⚙️ Main function:
When you lift your foot off the clutch pedal, the clutch disc presses against the clutch plate, making it stick to the valve stem, thus allowing power to be transferred from the engine to the transmission.
When the clutch pedal is pressed, this pressure is removed to separate the engine from the transmission, allowing for smooth gear changes.
🧱 Clutch disc components:
🌀 The pressure plate presses directly onto the clutch plate to transmit torque.
🧩 Diaphragm springs provide the necessary pressure and help in smooth shifting.
🔩 The cover assembly is mounted on the flywheel and connected to the clutch pedal via the release bearing.
Symptoms of clutch disc damage:
Clutch slippage (the car loses power even when the gas pedal is pressed)
Shake when starting movement
Difficulty switching
A grinding or squealing noise when pressing the clutch
- The clutch engagement point is noticeably higher.
