What is clutch and how it works?
Clutch is the part that provides a healthy change of gear in manual cars. Thanks to this part, the power from the engine is transferred to the gearbox, and when we change the gear, we ensure a smooth shift in the vehicle thanks to this separation process. To explain comprehensively, there are two different wheels between the vehicle's gearbox and engine, and these wheels are connected to each other by the clutch. When we want to change gear, if we do not press the clutch, the two wheels will not be separated from each other, so they will be damaged and may even break apart. The reason for the separation of these two parts during the gear change is that the gear wheel starts to rotate at a different speed when a different gear is shifted, and we need to adjust the speed of the already rotating motor wheel accordingly so that we can move the vehicle in a healthy way. If we do not combine these two wheels at the right time, it can cause problems with the clutch and the vehicle will stall. There are some things we should pay attention to when using the clutch. These are:
· We should not keep our feet on the clutch too much while driving.
· We should not switch between forward and reverse gears before the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
· Always half-clutch when lifting the vehicle on a slope.
Causes clutch wear and damage. There are several conditions that indicate clutch pad wear. If your vehicle has these problems, you need to have your vehicle's clutch serviced. These problems are:
· Clutch pedal stiffening,
· Low vehicle performance,
· Gear shifting becomes more difficult than before,
· Excessive vibration of the vehicle during the first start.
These are the situations that indicate that the clutch lining is damaged.
Finally, the half-clutch, although not useful, must be used in some situations, to explain, the clutch and brake are pressed at the first start of the vehicle. Afterwards, the clutch pedal is released slowly and the vehicle vibrates, and at this moment, the other foot is removed from the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal is pressed, and the vehicle is observed to move. However, it should not be forgotten that this situation can only be applied to vehicles with diesel engines, because the torque of vehicles with diesel engines is higher than that of gasoline vehicles.
