When the clutch plate is broken, the car cannot be driven. If the damage is severe, it may cause safety risks. Whether it is a manual or automatic transmission vehicle, a broken clutch plate is extremely dangerous and may cause problems such as not being able to shift gears. It is important to avoid driving long distances on the road. If there is a repair shop nearby, you can drive slowly to get it fixed or call for a tow truck if you can't drive at all.

To reduce the wear on the clutch plate, it is important to pay special attention to the engine's operation. When using the clutch, the principle is to "quickly cut off and slowly combine". It is important to press the pedal quickly and lift it slowly. Suddenly lifting the pedal can damage the clutch's pressure spring and cause the clutch plate to break. This can also harm the entire drive system. However, it is also important to minimize the use of half-clutch. Using half-clutch can cause excessive wear on the clutch plate and quickly cause temperature rise, which can lead to more wear and other problems.

Some novice drivers may have a bad habit of always pressing the clutch out of fear of stalling the engine. This not only加剧磨损, but also容易造成离合器打滑、离合器片烧蚀、压紧弹簧退火等现象。So it is important for novice drivers to develop good driving habits from the beginning of driving: except for starting, shifting gears, and low-speed braking, they should not always have their feet on the clutch pedal.
