Clutch Plate Maintenance and Replacement Suggestions
Regular Inspection
Check the clutch pedal free travel (usually 20-25mm) and ensure the clamping force is normal.
Check the friction plate thickness. If it is worn to the rivet head or the surface is hardened, it needs to be replaced in time.
Correct Operation
Avoid prolonged semi-engaged state (such as when starting on a slope) to reduce friction plate wear.
When temporarily stopping, use neutral gear instead of stepping on the clutch pedal to prevent the release bearing from being under pressure for a long time.
Replacement Cycle
Clutch plates are wear parts. The replacement cycle varies depending on driving habits and road conditions. It is usually recommended to check every 60,000-100,000 kilometers.
If slippage, abnormal noise, or incomplete separation occurs, repair or replace immediately.
Notes
When replacing, check the pressure plate, release bearing, and flywheel end face at the same time, and replace them if necessary.
During installation, ensure that the friction plate surface is clean and free of oil or impurities to avoid affecting the friction coefficient.
