15. Complete the following statement about the basic principle of clutch operation using the following words.
Words: Clutch, Disc, Disengaged, Drive, Engine, Flywheel, Member, Pressure
The pressure plate and __flywheel________ are the drive or input members of the assembly. The
clutch__________ disc, also called the friction disc, is the driven or output __member________ and is
connected to the transmission’s input shaft. As long as the clutch is __disengaged________ (clutch pedal
depressed), the drive members turn independently of the driven member, and the _engine_________ is

the two revolving ___drive_______ members and forced to turn at the same speed.
16. What is the coefficient of friction?
Coefficient of fraction is defined as the measurement of amount of friction which exists between the two

28. What is a wet clutch and how does work?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clutch
A wet clutch is immersed in a cooling lubricating fluid which is used to keep surfaces clean and provide better
performance and longer life. It has a number of plates called drive plates which are used to apply drive to the
vehicle. These drive plate has notches that fixed in the clutch basket. Discs slides and drive plates which are part
of the pressure plate assembly slides into the cage. Due to this, vehicle is in driven mode. Clutch basket is
connected to drive chain which is responsible drive the vehicle. Due to friction, this mechanism is soaked in oil.
The friction component of the oil is used in this clutch which allows the plates to slide for proper operation.

29. The benefit of multi-plate clutches is that you can achieve the same total friction force with a much smaller
overall diameter (or conversely, a much greater friction force for the same diameter. The maximum physical
size of the clutch unit is constrained by the clutch housing). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clutch

Before testing clutch slippage, clutch pedal play should be checked. For this, ruler or measurement tape is to be

should be pushed by hand which is used to take out pedal slack. Pedal play is within range if it moves between one
or two inches. If there is little pedal play, then it should be manually adjusted. After this, for clutch slippage testing,
firstly safe place to be searched to park the vehicle and then parking brake is engaged. Engine should be started
and let it be idle. Then depress the clutch pedal fully to disengage the clutch. Transmission should be shifted into
third gear and accelerate the engine up to the 2000rpm and clutch should be slowly released to allow the clutch to
engage. Before stalling, if the engine runs for a few seconds that means clutch is partially slipping and if engine
continues to run after releasing the clutch pedal that means it is slipping. Finally, after releasing the clutch pedal
shut off the engine which is used to prevent damage to the flywheel or pressure plate.
