Clutch life (Audi 100 C4)

As already mentioned in the section "Operating principle", each engagement of the clutch results in the friction linings of the driven disk rubbing against the mating friction surfaces, heating up in the process. Wear is especially accelerated when starting off at high engine speeds, the so-called "sharp start", starting off in second gear, "cheating" at intersections in second or third gear with the clutch pedal partially depressed, or "balancing" on an incline.

Clutch and clutch control drive:
1 - slave disk;
2 - pressure plate;
3 - release bearing;
4 — clutch release lever;
5 — release bearing guide sleeve;
6 — clutch slave cylinder;
7 — clutch master cylinder;
8 — clutch pedal.
