Is clutch required or not in electric cars? And how to convert cars to electric?

I've seen some converted to electric cars on the youtube, but i'm not sure that to use clutch or not. Some people haven't in their converted cars and the rest i'm not sure.



And furthermore how did they converted automatic transmission. I think the automatic transmission requires some pressure pumps driven by the engine which by created pressure, change gears according to speed.



can anyone give me a complete and professional advice.



Thanks in advance.Is clutch required or not in electric cars? And how to convert cars to electric?While the torque characteristics of an electric motor do not require a clutch or a transmission they are often not taken out of a vehicle prepared for conversion. The main reason the transmission is left is to keep a reverse gear. Typically a reverse gear is a different ratio making it easier to go slower and the electric motor will not have to be reversed electronically. The speedometer is also often connected to the transmission. Keeping the clutch may make connections easier but the inertia of an internal combustion engine is more than that of the replacement electric motor. In many instances shifting the manual transmission may not require the clutch.



The conversion process typically removes the engine, exhaust and fuel systems. The transmission is left in place as well as the associated bell housing and/or clutch if a manual transmission. An adapter plate is installed over the housing. The electric motor is installed and anchored to the frame. Batteries are positioned and installed in series and a motor controller is connected to the former gas pedal. Most modern batteries will benefit from a battery management system. Some method has to be provided to charge the batteries. One battery is often isolated to operate the 12 Volt electronics of the car: lights, horn etc. This will need its own charging circuit.



The only pump for an automatic transmission but external to it might be a cooling fluid pump. Electric pumps for power steering or power brakes may be added if necessary.Is clutch required or not in electric cars? And how to convert cars to electric?Fully electric cars have no need for a clutch or typical transmission. Electric motors have variable power so you can drive the wheels directly.Is clutch required or not in electric cars? And how to convert cars to electric?The reason that most cars have a transmission is because a internal combustion engine can only run efficiently over a narrow range of rpms while the wheels must turn at a wide range of rpms. An electric motor can efficiently run at any rpm so it can drive the wheels directly without a transmission. If a car does not have a transmission, it does not need a clutch.Is clutch required or not in electric cars? And how to convert cars to electric?The transmission must be kept in a converted car because of the gear ratios that were used when it was powered by an ICE. I'll use my converted Mitsubishi pickup as an example. In 1st gear you can only go up to 15mph, but it only takes 150 amps to get it going. In 2nd gear, you can go up to 35 mph, but it takes 300 amps to get it moving from a stop. 3rd gear goes up to 55 mph but it takes over 400 amps to get it to move from a stop. In all cases, the amps go down as speed increases. So in the interest of conserving power, I normally start out in 2nd gear and shift to 3rd until the batteries are about half discharged. I then start off in 1st gear and shift to 2nd, then 3rd. As for the clutch, I decided not to use one because I didn't want the extra weight of the flywheel and clutch assembly. The transmission shifts fine without the clutch, but it takes an extra second or so to make the shift because of having to wait for the motor to slow down and the gears to mesh. Automatic transmissions are extremely inefficient in any case and should not be used in a conversion. Research the many conversion kit suppliers and visit evalbum.com to see the many different vehicle that can be converted. Also there are many good books that can be read to get information on doing your own conversion. See my truck at www.evalbum.com/2340

How serious of a repair job is a leaking clutch pump?

I have a 2003 Ford Focus and recently took it in for brake service. They told me my clutch pump was leaking (it's actually leaking down the clutch pedal itself into the car). Is this going to be one of those $400 reapir jobs? I just put a bunch of money into my brakes and I'm not excited about spending a bunch more.How serious of a repair job is a leaking clutch pump?Its called a slave cylinder and no its just high pressure line and just go to a parts store and tell them what you need and they will get you a new line and replace it its not that hard and should cost you less than 100 bucks.How serious of a repair job is a leaking clutch pump?i would repair it. its probably gonna take more than aftermarket hardware to repair it.

the fluid leaking in is brake fluid and its not going to do your carpet any goodHow serious of a repair job is a leaking clutch pump?Do you use the clutch alot or is this another example of Ford's lackadaisical quality control?



I think the MASTER cylinder is near the pedal. The Slave cylinder is by the transmission, under the hood.



Autozone shows a master cylinder for $26.



It helps if you have a bench vise. Clamp the cylinder in the vise. The part includes some bleeder tubes. Fill the reservoir with fluid and work out the air bubbles before mounting on the firewall.



It's not a big job.

How do you use a hydrolic clutch removal tool for an 89 Ford Ranger?

I am trying to change out the clutch in this vehicle and I can't figure out how to use this tool.



JohnHow do you use a hydrolic clutch removal tool for an 89 Ford Ranger?Sorry never heard of a clutch removal tool.



Are you talking about changing the transmission clutch?



Remove the slave cylinder.

Remove the transmission.

Unbolt the pressure plate. Take off the pressure plate and clutch disk.

Remove the throwout bearing on the transmission shaft.

Place new throwout bearing on tranny shaft, making sure it's line up properly and engaged with the clutch fork.

Start the screws on the new pressure plate into the flywheel with the new clutch disk sandwiched between them.

Use a line up tool to line up the hole through the pressure plate, clutch disk and into the flywheel.

Try to put the tranny back in without knocking everything you just lined up out of place. If you do move the tranny back out of the way again, cuss it some more, then reallign everything again.

Get the tranny in place and bolt it up.

Reinstall the slave cylinder.
