Clutch
IN SHORT CLUTCH
The clutch is a transmission organ positioned between the engine and the gearbox that lets you engage gears and stay put when stopped.
Once activated, it momentarily interrupts transfer of motion from the drive shaft to the drive wheels thus making it possible to change gears. The clutch system consists of three components: the thrust bearing, the disc and the pressure plate that work together to get one end result: your car’s acceleration or deceleration according to the gear engaged.TIPS Did you know that...?
Changing gears changes with the times
The “one-two” is now just a distant memory
A long time ago, cars were not equipped with synchronisers. That’s why a double clutch from the French débrayer, to disengage, was necessary when you wanted to change gears. Commonly called “double clutching”, this driving technique when perfectly executed, let especially refined drivers to shift gears without hitting the clutch pedal. These days cars are synchronised so “double clutching” has finally disappeared.
The right time to have an extra gear
Setting out uphill has never been easier
Nearly all cars today are equipped with the Hill Holder, a device studied to make setting off while facing uphill. How? A vehicle with its engine running stops on hills, without needing to hold the brake pedal down or pull up the handbrake. While you slow down, just press on the brake and clutch at the same time. When the car is stopped, the Hill Holder system gives you all the time you need to take your foot off the brake, engage gear and start back off, accelerating and gradually releasing the clutch.
Double clutch double comfort
There is one gear worth two
The TCT, Twin Clutch Transmission, gear is an innovative automatic transmission with dry double clutch that lets you select and engage the next gear while the previous one is still engaged. The results? Driving comfort and a clearly better sporty feeling than those offering conventional automatic gears. And the advantages? Greater gear change speed, the possibility of selecting between manual or automatic and practically zero loss of power. Moreover, thanks to the Start&Stop system, fuel consumption is reduced by 10% with respect to traditional hydraulic automatic gear.
For effective prevention, a few small ideas to help
Taking care of your clutch is worth it
Replacing your clutch is a highly complicated operation. That’s why a few tricks can prevent this, or at least put it off for a long time. An example? If leaving the car stopped for a long time, don’t leave the gear engaged. Also, when accelerating, stopped in traffic or at a stoplight, do not press the clutch. Let us remind you that if you do need to replace it, it's better to change all four of the functioning components in the kit for your car to perform as best as possible every time.
SELF-EVALUATION Gearbox resistance If you feel that the clutch does not disengage the moment you are shifting or the gearbox itself resists your action, we advise you to check the entire system as soon as possible at an Authorised Fiat Dealership.Harder pedal When you press the clutch, if you feel it’s harder than usual and the trajectory is longer, or you get the impression that to press it all the way down takes more time than it normally does, you need to bring your car to your garage immediately to check the clutch system status.Engine slipping What does slipping mean? It's very simple: when setting off or when in maximum torque, the engine’s rpms increase but the speed doesn’t increase in proportion. If you encounter this kind of problem, your car needs to have its clutch system checked.Jerking forward When the clutch “pulls”, the car starts to jerk when accelerating right after the gear has been engaged. Remember that this component in your car can start to show signs of wear after just 60-80,000 km travelled because its deterioration depends
a great deal on the way you drive.Noisiness in the gear One of the most common consequences of the clutch system wear is a loud noisiness that shows up while you’re driving, in both minimum and maximum torque. This noise becomes persistent
because over time it tends to get worse.Strong vibrations Clutch pedal vibrations are due to flywheel wear, even when it doesn’t show signs of it. Replace it always together with the clutch kit, so you don’t compromise the lifespan of a new clutch.
