As already mentioned in the section «Operating principle», each engagement of the clutch causes the friction linings of the driven disk to rub against the mating friction surfaces, heating up at the same time. Wear is especially accelerated when starting off at high engine speeds, the so-called «abrupt start», pulling away in second gear, «cheating» at intersections in second or third gear with the clutch pedal partially depressed, or «balancing» on the rise.
