Is premature clutch wear a common issue in Changan Karvaan used for commercial driving in Pakistan?

Drivers of school vans and intercity routes report frequent clutch plate replacements. Is heavy usage with full passenger load causing faster wear?

Yes. Commercial users e.g. school vans, ride-share, intercity routes report:

Frequent clutch replacements, often under 40,000 km.

Causes include:

Heavy passenger/cargo loads.

Constant city stop-start traffic.

Low-grade clutch material used in factory setup.

⛔ Conclusion: Clutch wear is accelerated due to overloading and continuous city use—further worsened by no hill-start assist o r torque support.
