Question

The clutch pedal freeplay is less than specifications. Technician A says that the clutch may slip during hard acceleration. Technician B says that the clutch will "grab" when the clutch pedal is close to the floor when the clutch is engaged. Which technician is correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Technician A is correct.

Explanation:

                           A clutch is mechanical device that is used to engaged and disengaged with the engine flywheel and the gear box.  It is operated by pressing the clutch pedal of the vehicle and it helps in disengaging the clutch. While releasing the clutch pedal, the clutch is engaged to the flywheel and it helps in transmission.

                          It is mentioned here that the freeplay of the clutch pedal is less than the  specifications given. Thus by slightly pressing the clutch pedal, the clutch gets disengaged instantly while releasing the pedal engages the flywheel at once.

                         Thus during hard acceleration of the vehicle, it is quite obvious that the clutch may slip form the flywheel and will decrease its efficiency.

Thus the answer is  Technician A is correct.
