Product Info

The clutch disc, or clutch plate, is a vital component of a car's clutch system. It is responsible for transmitting power from the engine to the gearbox to control the movement of the vehicle. Without a clutch disc or with a worn clutch disc, the car would not be able to change gears smoothly and might experience clutch slipping.

🔹 How does a clutch disc work?
The clutch disc works together with the flywheel, pressure plate, and release bearing to control power transmission. The operation principle is as follows:
✅ When the clutch is pressed – the clutch disc disengages from the flywheel, allowing the engine and gearbox to disconnect so that gears can be changed easily.
✅ When the clutch is released – the clutch disc re-engages with the flywheel, transmitting power to the gear assembly, causing the vehicle to move.

🎯 The importance of a clutch disc in a vehicle:
🔹 1. Controls power transmission from the engine
The clutch disc acts as an intermediary that allows the engine to connect or disconnect from the gearbox, enabling precise control over the vehicle's movement.
🔹 2. Protects against engine jolts
Without a clutch disc or with a malfunctioning clutch disc, gear changes may be jerky, affecting the lifespan of the gearbox.
🔹 3. Enhances driving performance
A good clutch disc ensures smooth gear changes, reduces wear and tear on the transmission system, and helps the car consume fuel more efficiently.
🔹 4. Prevents gearbox damage
If the clutch disc is worn, it may cause "clutch slipping," which can make the engine work harder, damage the gearbox, and lead to high repair costs.

⚠ Symptoms of a worn clutch disc:
❌ Difficulty engaging gears or loud noises when changing gears
❌ Jerky vehicle start or high engine revs without corresponding movement
❌ Burning smell from the clutch area
❌ Needing to press the clutch deeper than usual to change gears

📌 If these symptoms are observed, it is advisable to check and replace the clutch disc immediately to prevent damage to the gearbox and ensure safer driving.
