Ukuhlukaniswa kwe-clutch intermediate shaft kubhekisela ekunqanyulweni kwe-shaft emaphakathi emshinini wokubamba emotweni. Lokhu kuhlukaniswa kungenzeka ngenxa yokwehluleka kwemishini, ukuguga, noma ukufakwa okungafanele. Lapho i-clutch intermediate shaft ihlukana, kungaholela ekulahlekeni kokudluliselwa kwamandla phakathi kwenjini kanye nokudlulisela, okuholela ekulahlekelweni kwe-propulsion yemoto.

Le nkinga ingaba yingozi futhi ingase idinge ukunakwa ngokushesha kumakhenikha oqeqeshiwe ukuze avimbele ukulimala okwengeziwe emotweni. Kubalulekile ukubhekana nokuhlukaniswa kwe-clutch intermediate shaft ngokushesha ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuphepha nokusebenza kahle kwemoto. Ukunakekelwa okuvamile nokuhlolwa kungasiza ukuvimbela le nkinga ukuthi ingenzeki.
