The development of the engines, in accordance with the anti-pollution regulations, increases the vibrations in the drivetrain, which shortens the life of the clutch
The role of the clutch is decisive within the engine transmission system. “The durability of key elements such as the engine or the gearbox depends on the good condition,” they say from the initiative. And it is that the clutch is a wear element, so a
good maintenance becomes even more important. Here, “the most recommended,” they warn, “Choose Quality, Choose Trust” (ECEC), an initiative formed by twenty of the major Sernauto-compliant component manufacturers, “is to carry out a full maintenance of the transmission system: clutch unit, dual mass flywheel, mechanical bearing or hydraulic bearing.
Likewise, they point out that in the event that one of these elements needs to be replaced, it is:
convenient to replace all components of the system affected by the deterioration.
One of these symptoms is that the car is revving too much but not getting up to speed. In these cases it is possible that the clutch is slipping and that the disc liners are worn. In addition, this patina sometimes generates a rather characteristic smell.
Another sign is that the gears go wrong abruptly. The driver notices hardness when operating the gear lever when the gear is engaged or disengaged, and sometimes even a metallic rubbing noise at the same time.
Likewise, if when you release your foot from the clutch, the stroke is minimal and the car tends to go fast, this is another sign that the clutch is in bad shape; as we are when there are strong vibrations coming from the clearances, as well as when there is a squeak when depressing the clutch pedal, which may mean that the collar needs to be replaced.
