Clutch Plates
Clutch plates are components of a manual transmission system that are used to engage and disengage the engine from the gearbox. They are typically made of high-friction material, such as ceramic or metal, and are sandwiched between the pressure plate and flywheel. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the clutch plates separate, allowing the driver to change gears. When the pedal is released, the clutch plates re-engage, transferring power from the engine to the transmission. Proper maintenance and replacement of clutch plates are essential for smooth and efficient operation of the vehicle.
