Can the Manual Transmission Clutch Get Water Inside?
1 Answers
Manual transmission clutches can indeed get water inside, especially when driving through water. If not careful, water can enter the clutch. Phenomena caused by water in the clutch: The clutch plates may stick together, making gear shifting difficult or impossible while driving, accompanied by gear collision sounds in the transmission. After driving through deep water, if you notice noises when accelerating or even inability to engage gears, it's likely due to water in the clutch. Precautions after water enters the clutch: There is a small hole on the clutch gear where water can automatically drain out, allowing quick dehydration. Since the clutch operates at high temperatures, moisture can also evaporate easily. Typically, any water in the clutch will evaporate within a day.
