Well, guys, yes, it is true that a burnt out clutch could contributes to engine over heating. The reason is that the transmission usually have coolant running in it somewhere to cool it off. If the clutch is burnt, it does is spinging and creating heat; but, my guess is that you would have to drive for a while for the egine to overheat. In anycase, if the clutch is burnt, then you won't be able to move either. The engine would just spins. You can also smell burnt clutch (smell like your brake pad got stuck to a rotor). As for the bearing, I don't know about that.
One more thing, our CS has a problem with the coolant tank itself. It used to have coolant seeps out of it. You can identify it by the white trails it leaves behind. I told my wife to get the metal coolant tank that mini pro (not sure) sell but she was just lazy and let it runs as is. |
