Question

a vehicle comes into the shop with a slipping clutch. technician a states that a worn throw-out bearing could likely be the cause. technician b states that weak pressure plate springs could likely be the cause. who is correct?

a. technician a

b. technician b

c. both technician a and technician b

d. neither technician a nor technician b

Explanation:

A slipping clutch is often caused by issues that reduce the clamping force of the pressure plate or problems with the friction material, but a worn throw - out bearing typically causes noise (like a squealing sound when the clutch pedal is depressed) rather than slipping. Weak pressure plate springs reduce the clamping force on the clutch disc, which can lead to clutch slipping. So Technician B is correct.

Answer:

b. Technician B
