Does the Tiggo 3 Clutch Pedal Have a Pad?
3 Answers
The Tiggo 3 clutch pedal has a pad. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power input from the engine to the transmission. Here are the specific details about the clutch: 1. Definition: The clutch is installed between the engine and the transmission and is the assembly component in the automotive drivetrain that directly connects to the engine. Typically, the clutch is mounted together with the engine crankshaft's flywheel assembly, serving as the component that cuts off and transmits power between the engine and the vehicle's drivetrain. 2. Function: The primary function of the clutch is to ensure smooth vehicle starting, enable seamless gear shifting, and prevent drivetrain overload.
I've been driving my Tiggo 3 for two years now. The clutch pedal comes with textured anti-slip rubber from the factory, so it won't slip even when stepping on it barefoot. But it depends on personal preference—I added a silicone pad myself, mainly not for anti-slip purposes, but to make it less uncomfortable for the soles of my feet after prolonged pressing. Installing this kind of pad is very simple; just buy a rubber clip-on style from the auto parts market for ten yuan and slip it on. Be careful not to buy one that's too thick to avoid affecting the pedal travel. Many car enthusiasts also opt for those alloy pedal covers with 3M adhesive backing—they look cool but feel chilly in winter. It depends on whether you prioritize practicality or aesthetics.
What a coincidence, I just helped my cousin install clutch pedal pads on his Tiggo 3 last week. The original pedals only had basic anti-slip patterns, and the car wash guy mentioned they can get slippery with wet shoes during winter rain or snow. We chose rubber pads with shark-tooth protrusions from a hardware store for about 20 yuan. Installation was simple—just bend open the clips on both sides of the pad and snap them firmly onto the pedal edges. After a month of use, he reported noticeably softer foot feel and less fatigue in his left foot during traffic jams. A quick tip: if installing metal sport pedals, double-check for interference with floor mats—my cousin's setup almost blocked the accelerator.
