This is not a mechanical problem I'm having but to seek for an answer for a question I have regarding auto engineering for quite sometime.
I know how a clutch system work, its components and principals. But I have this question why does not it slip at high loads, when climbing a hill or at rapid accelerations if it is locked with friction only.
For example we have seen how a lorry struggles carrying a heavy load when climbing a hill, so I'm sure there is lot of torque passed through the drive train but how come it does not beak loose in the clutch where it is just attached with friction?
Surrounded by various different nice car models in Germany but still fascinated by the Presea, Bluebird U13 and the Mark II.. The first cut is the deepest.. Baby I know, the first cut is the D he he he
