Иштөө принциптери
The clutch system connects and disconnects the engine's power from the transmission, allowing for smooth gear changes and vehicle stops without stalling the engine. When the clutch pedal is pressed, the pressure plate disengages from the clutch disc, interrupting power flow. Releasing the pedal allows the pressure plate to clamp the clutch disc against the flywheel, re-establishing power transmission.
Proper clutch operation involves smooth and controlled engagement and disengagement. Avoid "riding the clutch" (partially pressing the pedal while driving) or excessive slipping, as this can lead to premature wear and overheating.

- Avoid Riding the Clutch: Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving, as this causes unnecessary wear.
- Neutral at Stops: When stopped for extended periods, shift into neutral and release the clutch pedal to reduce strain on the clutch components.
- Fluid Checks (Hydraulic Clutches): For vehicles with hydraulic clutch systems, regularly check the clutch fluid level and condition. Replace fluid according to vehicle manufacturer recommendations.
- Кесиптик текшерүү: Have your clutch system inspected by a qualified mechanic during routine vehicle maintenance, especially if you notice any changes in pedal feel or performance.
