Durability of the direct drive clutch
« on: September 15, 2021, 08:27:32 AM »
I am driving on motorways most of the time and I am observing the direct drive clutch beeing frequently used at speeds about 50 to 70 miles. I am not a tech guy, but what do you think about the durability of the direct drive clutch? Could this become a problem at high mileage up to 180.000 miles for example?

I doubt it.
Honda will have applied suitable power management during clutch engagement/disengagement so there will be minimal slip under load, which is what causes wear. That's one of the big advantages with electronically controlled systems over manual human operated stuff, it does what it's programmed to do every time, which will generally be thoroughly engineered for durability/reliability.

If I remember correctly from famous YouTube clip that explains how Honda I-MMD transaxle built and working there is part that named resolver that sensing revs of electric motors so clutch only engages I believe when both motors spins same speed.
