The clutch pressure plate is a core transmission component in a manual transmission (MT) vehicle. Located between the engine flywheel and the clutch plate, it controls the on/off flow of power through mechanical pressure.
A clutch pressure plate malfunction can cause shifting difficulties, power loss, and even vehicle breakdown. This article summarizes five common fault signals and solutions to help owners prevent losses.
With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) and automatic transmissions (AT/CVT/DCT), the market share of manual transmissions (MT) has plummeted from 45% in 2015 to 12% in 2023. The clutch pressure plate industry faces the dual challenges of shrinking demand and technological upgrades.
The clutch pressure plate is a key component in a manual transmission, transmitting engine power to the transmission through friction with the clutch plate. Its performance directly impacts shift smoothness, power loss, and service life.
